 Politics › Breaking: Enugu Become First State To Cut Electricity Tariff Under New Power Law by Masterstroke4(op): 6:34am On Jul 21, 2025 |
Breaking: Enugu Becomes First State to Cut Electricity Tariff Under New Power Law. In a landmark regulatory intervention, the Enugu State Electricity Regulatory Commission (EERC) has announced a significant reduction in electricity tariffs, slashing the cost of Band A power supply from N209 to N160 per kilowatt-hour (kWh), while freezing tariffs for Bands B, C, D, and E. The new tariff takes effect from August 1, 2025. The announcement was made through Order No. EERC/2025/003, titled “Tariff Order for MainPower Electricity Distribution Limited 2025,” which was issued over the weekend. MainPower Electricity Distribution Limited, the utility company that succeeded the Enugu Electricity Distribution Company (EEDC), will now operate under the new rate regime. The move comes after a detailed tariff and license application review by EERC, in accordance with its 2024 Tariff Methodology Regulations and supported by the Distribution Tariff Model. Speaking on the development, EERC Chairman Chijioke Okonkwo explained that the new Band A tariff reflects a cost-justified model and takes into account federal subsidies on electricity generation. “We arrived at an average cost-reflective tariff of N94/kWh. Band A customers will pay N160, which is still significantly below the previously approved N209/kWh,” Okonkwo stated. He further explained that the federal government currently subsidizes electricity generation costs — paying only N45 out of an actual N112/kWh — thereby cushioning the pricing burden on end users. “This reduction benefits consumers while helping MainPower manage tariff stability over time, especially if the subsidy is withdrawn in the future. Crucially, this model ensures no additional subsidy is required from the Enugu State Government,” he said. The tariff adjustment is grounded in the Enugu State Electricity Law 2023, signed into law by Governor Dr. Peter Mbah, following the 2023 constitutional amendment which decentralised electricity regulation. That law gave EERC exclusive jurisdiction over electricity regulation within Enugu State, in line with the federal Electricity Act 2023, which repealed the previous Electric Power Sector Reform Act of 2005. The Commission has also mandated robust transparency and accountability mechanisms to ensure service quality, particularly for Band A customers. “MainPower must publish a rolling seven-day average of daily power supply hours on each Band A feeder. Failure to meet service standards for two consecutive days must be reported within 24 hours,” EERC warned. “Persistent failure—seven consecutive days—will result in the automatic downgrading of that feeder’s tariff band.” EERC reaffirmed its commitment to consumer protection and sustainable power sector development, vowing to work with investors, developers, and the general public to build a reliable and cost-effective electricity market. This bold regulatory move positions Enugu as a national trailblazer in state-level power sector reform and consumer-focused electricity pricing.

| Politics › Peter Obi Is Welcome To Edo State Anytime- Olumide Akpata (former NBA Chairman) by Masterstroke4(op): 3:06pm On Jul 20, 2025 |
Peter Obi Is Welcome To Edo State Anytime- Olumide Akpata Says Let’s be clear: Mr. Peter Obi does not need anyone’s permission to visit Edo State or any other State for that matter. Not now, not ever- Olumide Akpata (Former NBA chairman). When I first saw the video clip of Governor Monday Okpebholo threatening Mr. Peter Obi not to enter Edo State without his “permission”, I genuinely thought it was fake — perhaps one of those AI-generated videos or a poorly written skit. But it’s now clear it wasn’t fake. The Governor hasn’t denied it, no spokesperson has disowned it, and it’s been reported on credible news platforms. So, we must assume it was real — and that’s deeply troubling. Edo people are known for being warm, open, and hospitable. We welcome visitors. We don’t chase them away — much less someone like Mr. Obi who came to make a modest, generous contribution by donating ₦15 million to an educational institution in our state. Let’s be clear: Mr. Peter Obi does not need anyone’s permission to visit Edo State or any other State for that matter. Not now, not ever. Perhaps Governor Okpebholo should focus more on governing in a way that earns him the kind of love and connection that Peter Obi enjoys amongst the people — the way Mr. Obi has consistently done through his exemplary leadership. That this ill-judged threat came on the eve of Mr. Obi’s birthday — a day Obidients across the country are marking the occasion by giving back through acts of service — only highlights the Governor’s poor sense of judgement and timing. On that note, Happy 64th Birthday to Mr. Peter Obi — a man whose leadership inspires millions, and whose presence in Edo will always be welcome, regardless of the threats from those who see your impact as a challenge to their own inadequacies. 2 Likes |
| Politics › We've Had Fulani, Hausa, Yoruba Presidents, But No True President Yet- Obasanjo by Masterstroke4(op): 2:44pm On Jul 19, 2025 |
We've Had Fulani, Hausa, Yoruba Presidents, But We’ve Yet To Have a True Nigerian President–Obasanjo. Olusegun Obasanjo, has voiced significant concern regarding the current condition of the country, characterising Nigeria as a nation in bondage under the leadership of President Bola Tinubu. He highlighted insecurity, economic challenges, and ethnic-based politics as significant obstacles hindering the country's progress. Obasanjo addressed attendees at his residence in Abeokuta during a visit from southern leaders of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), who were there for political consultations in preparation for the 2027 general elections. He believes the nation is ensnared in a pattern of ineffective leadership, leaving its people to endure hardship without any prospect of genuine transformation. He expressed that the situation has escalated to a point of significant concern, necessitating both vigilance and prayer. He encouraged Nigerians to stay engaged in the political process and to maintain their hope and interest in national matters. Obasanjo emphasised the necessity for immediate measures to address insecurity and rejuvenate the economy. He cautioned that tribal politics has persisted in dividing Nigeria and is a significant factor in its sluggish development. He asserted that the majority of political leaders today are not genuine nationalists, but rather individuals pursuing power for their own benefit. He also stated that Nigeria has not only let down its citizens but has also fallen short of the expectations of the global community. He stressed that the country cannot advance if it continues to cycle leadership based on ethnic divisions without fostering a genuine national leader who embodies the interests of all Nigerians. Obasanjo emphasised that Nigeria will persist in encountering the same challenges until it elects a leader who transcends ethnic and sectional interests. He urged for a collective spirit, genuine intentions, and dedication to the nation's welfare over individual or local aspirations. Obasanjo stated, “We have had Fulani Nigerian presidents, Hausa Nigerian presidents, Yoruba Nigerian presidents…” However, we have not yet experienced a genuine Nigerian president, one who represents everyone, not just their ethnic group. Our problems will persist until we take action.

| Politics › Tinubu Approves South-east Investment Company To Drive Industrial Growth by Masterstroke4(op): 4:20pm On Jul 18, 2025 |
Tinubu Approves Establishment Of South-East Investment Company To Drive Industrial Growth President Bola Tinubu has granted executive approval for the establishment of the South-East Investment Company (SEIC) to drive private capital, accelerate industrialisation, and enhance competitiveness in the region. The new investment vehicle is under the South-East Development Commission (SEDC) inaugurated earlier this year. According to a statement by the presidency on Friday, the SEIC will function as a professionally governed, private-sector-led institution, operating independently of annual federal budget cycles. The company will be wholly owned by the SEDC but is expected to transition into a public-private partnership (PPP), incorporating investments from south-east state governments, private sector players, development finance institutions, and the diaspora. The statement added that the SEIC will oversee a range of targeted investment portfolios, including infrastructure, entrepreneurship, education, and other strategic interventions. “With a projected blended capital base of over 150 billion, SEIC will mobilise resources through hybrid bonds, equity participation, and callable capital structures,” the statement reads. “Pilot investments and structured fundraising activities are expected to commence in Q4 2025, supported by strong governance systems including independent fund managers, custodians, and auditors.” Speaking on the significance of the initiative, Tinubu reiterated his administration’s resolve to support all regions with tailored, sustainable, and investment-led approaches to development. He charged the SEDC and the SEIC to deliver measurable outcomes that would uplift the south-east and strengthen national cohesion through shared prosperity. On his part, Mark Okoye, managing director (MD) and chief executive officer (CEO) of SEDC, said the investment company represents a bold step forward in regional development. “It is more than a financial vehicle. It is a long-term strategy to unlock private capital, de-risk investment, and deliver sustainable economic growth for the South-East,” Okoye said. “We are building an institution that will stand the test of time and serve as a bridge between government priorities and private sector efficiency.” Okoye also said SEIC will actively seek all necessary regulatory registrations and compliance procedures as part of its short-to medium-term plans for full operationalisation in accordance with applicable laws and global standards.

Kill Them, They Don’t deserve To Live– Adesina Reveals Buhari’s Final Order To Security Chiefs On Terror Former presidential spokesman, Femi Adesina, has revealed that late President Muhammadu Buhari gave a blunt and emotionally charged directive to Nigeria’s security chiefs at the height of insurgency in 2021, urging them to wipe out terrorists without mercy. In a tribute following the former president’s death, Adesina described Buhari as a patriot who cared deeply for the ordinary Nigerian and was visibly frustrated by the persistent threat of terrorism. “When insurgency reached its peak in 2021, and he held a meeting with security chiefs, he was virtually pleading: ‘Wipe out these people. Kill them. “They are haters of humanity. They don’t deserve to live. Nigerians love me, they trust me, that’s why they keep voting for me. Wipe them out. Kill them.’” He stated. At the time, Lt. Gen. Ibrahim Attahiru was the Chief of Army Staff. According to Adesina, Attahiru responded with a firm commitment, promising that once the awaited military platforms were delivered, the armed forces would swiftly complete the mission. Tragically, that promise was cut short. Just a week after the meeting, Gen. Attahiru died in a military plane crash, dealing a heavy blow to the nation’s counter-insurgency efforts. 1 Like 1 Share

Peter Obi Is Our Product, We Want To Get Him Back’ – PDP Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Ibrahim Abdullahi, has stated that the party is implementing measures to bring the Labour Party (LP) 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi, back into its fold. Naija News recalls that in the build-up to the 2023 general election, Peter Obi, a former vice presidential candidate of the PDP, left the party to join the Labour Party. He secured the LP’s presidential ticket and contested the presidential election against Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Atiku Abubakar of the PDP, and Rabiu Kwankwaso of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP). Peter Obi won 12 states, including the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja. Still, they came third behind Atiku and the subsequent winner, Tinubu, according to the final results declared by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). Speaking on Arise Television on Thursday, Abdullahi described the former Governor of Anambra State as a product of the PDP and a great asset to any political party. According to Abdullahi, despite rigging and various forms of electoral process manipulation in the 2023 election, Peter Obi still garnered over six million votes. He said, “Peter Obi is our product, and the PDP indeed wants to get him back. He is a very great capital for any political party, and any political party that will have him will be to their advantage. “The truth of the matter is if he had not gone the way he did in the last dispensation and proved that mettle to generate over six million despite the rigging and frustration of his chances in many of the states.

A former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, has insisted that the next president of Nigeria must come from the South. Speaking on Politics Today on Channels Television on Thursday night, Amaechi, however, argued that leadership should be determined by competence and character, not regional entitlement. According to him, the next elections will be a battle between “ordinary Nigerians and the entrenched political elite.” He said: “Nigeria belongs to all of us. We cannot sustain a democracy where one region dominates while others are locked out. “The South has capable leaders. It’s time to restore balance and deliver real results. “This election is no longer about party loyalty. It is Nigerians versus the political elite. If you want change, real change, then it’s time to rise. “The South is ready to lead. We’re building a platform that gives every Nigerian a voice, and hope.”

A former Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai, has said that he has no ambition to join the race for the 2027 presidential election. Speaking in an interview on Arise News, El-Rufai said that all he desires at this point is to see the administration of President Tinubu, which he described as evil and a tragedy, voted out. The former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) said that he would go with whatever party the collective consensus decides is going to be the vehicle to remove Tinubu. According to El-Rufai, Nigerians are tired of the ruling All Progressives Congress and are looking for a credible option. “We have polled it. There is 91% disapproval of this administration across the country. 91% disapproval is the worst in Nigeria’s history,” he said. “But Nigerians are looking for a credible option. But I want to see people coming together, putting aside their differences and ambitions, and giving them an alternative to this failure of a government. That’s the key thing.” Asked if he can put aside his personal ambition for this cause with the likes of Atiku Abubakar, Peter Obi, Rotimi Amaechi, and so many other big politicians in the race. El-Rufai noted that big names do not equate to ambitions, adding, “You’ve mentioned my name. I have no ambition. “I just feel that having contributed to bringing about this tragedy to Nigeria by contributing to the emergence of Tinubu as president, I should contribute in my last lap, because I’m 65, I should be retiring in my last lap. “Let me contribute towards removing this evil that I believe will destroy Nigeria if left unchecked.” ‘ 8 Likes

| Politics › Enugu Govt To Commence Enugu Air Commercial Flights On Monday, July 7. by Masterstroke4(op): 10:12pm On Jul 02, 2025 |
The Enugu State Government has announced that its state-owned airline, Enugu Air, will begin commercial operations on Monday, July 7, 2025. The announcement was contained in a post by the Senior Special Assistant on Media to Enugu Governor Peter Mbah, Dan Nwomeh, via his official X account on Wednesday. “Enugu Air set to commence operations with inaugural commercial flight on Monday,” Nwomeh wrote. While the post noted the imminent start of commercial operations, it did not provide further information on the routes to be served, flight schedules, or booking details. A check by Nairametrics on Wednesday revealed that, with just days to the announced launch date, there is still no official booking platform or website available for Enugu Air, raising questions about the readiness of the airline for commercial passenger service. This announcement follows an earlier declaration by the state government in May that Enugu Air would commence commercial operations that same month, a timeline that ultimately did not materialize. At the time, the state government disclosed that three aircraft had been secured for the airline. Two had already been delivered to the state, while a third was expected to arrive before the end of May. In recent years, several Nigerian subnational governments have been exploring the establishment of state-owned airlines as part of broader economic and transport development strategies. Akwa Ibom State led this effort with the launch of Ibom Air, which began operations in July 2019 and has now been operating for over five years. The airline currently serves Lagos, Abuja, and several other Nigerian cities. In 2021, neighbouring Cross River State launched its own state-owned airline, Cally Air, with one aircraft. The airline was established as a joint venture between the Cross River State Government and Dana Group under a public-private partnership. In 2023, a Boeing 737 (5N-BYR) was added to the fleet, bringing the total to two, with the state government expressing plans to acquire three additional aircraft in the future. Now, Enugu State has joined the fray with Enugu Air, whose operations are scheduled to begin on Monday, July 7. As of May, the state had confirmed the availability of three aircraft, according to the Commissioner for Transportation, Dr. Obi Ozor.

| Politics › Breaking: Tinubu Will Sign Tax Reform Bills Tomorrow Thursday - Presidency by Masterstroke4(op): 9:46pm On Jun 25, 2025 |
Just In: Presidency Reveals Date Tinubu Will Sign Tax Reform Bills. The Presidency has disclosed that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will, on Thursday, sign into law four tax reform bills. Naija News reports that this was made known in a statement on Wednesday by Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga. The four bills, the Nigeria Tax Bill, the Nigeria Tax Administration Bill, the Nigeria Revenue Service (Establishment) Bill, and the Joint Revenue Board (Establishment) Bill, were passed by the National Assembly after extensive consultations with various interest groups and stakeholders. According to the Presidency, when the new tax laws become operational, they are expected to significantly transform tax administration in the country, leading to increased revenue generation, improved business environment, and a boost in domestic and foreign investments. The statement disclosed that the presidential assent to the bills at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, will be witnessed by the Senate President, Speaker of the House of Representatives, Senate Majority Leader, House Majority Leader, the Senate Committee on Finance, and his House counterpart. The Chairman of the Governors' Forum of the Progressive Governors Forum, the Minister of Finance, the Minister of Coordination, the Minister of Economy, and the Attorney General of the Federation will also attend the ceremony. The statement added: “One of the four bills is the Nigeria Tax Bill (Ease of Doing Business), which aims to consolidate Nigeria’s fragmented tax laws into a harmonised statute. “By reducing the multiplicity of taxes and eliminating duplication, the bill will enhance the ease of doing business, reduce taxpayer compliance burdens, and create a more predictable fiscal environment. “The second bill, the Nigeria Tax Administration Bill, will establish a uniform legal and operational framework for tax administration across federal, state, and local governments. “The Nigeria Revenue Service (Establishment) Bill, the third bill, repeals the current Federal Inland Revenue Service Act and creates a more autonomous and performance-driven national revenue agency— the Nigeria Revenue Service (NRS). It defines the NRS’s expanded mandate, including non-tax revenue collection, and lays out transparency, accountability, and efficiency mechanisms. “The fourth bill is the Joint Revenue Board (Establishment) Bill. It provides for a formal governance structure to facilitate cooperation between revenue authorities at all levels of government. It introduces essential oversight mechanisms, including establishing a Tax Appeal Tribunal and an Office of the Tax Ombudsman.” 2 Likes

| Foreign Affairs › The War Between Iran And Israel: Who Really Won? A must Read by Masterstroke4(op): 4:35pm On Jun 24, 2025 |
Defining Victory: What Does It Mean to “Win”? The word “win” generally implies achieving success in a contest, conflict, or effort. But when it comes to modern warfare, especially between two deeply hostile nations like Iran and Israel, the idea of victory becomes much more complex. Is it defined by destruction, survival, political gains, or public perception? After 12 devastating days of fighting, the conflict between Iran and Israel is expected to end today, June 24, 2025, as both sides have reportedly agreed to sit at the negotiating table and finalise a binding peace agreement. The war, which began on June 13, 2025, started with an Israeli airstrike on an Iranian nuclear facility, prompting swift and deadly retaliation from Tehran. Chronology of the Conflict Israel initiated the conflict by attacking what it claimed were high-risk nuclear sites in Iran. In response, Iran launched a barrage of missiles targeting Israeli civilian homes, with one strike destroying a major hospital. Despite the aggression, Israel remained focused on its objective, continuing its offensive with precision and resolve. When Israeli forces could not fully achieve their mission alone, they brought in additional support—reportedly from allies- USA military support—Underscoring their commitment to achieving concrete results, regardless of cost or consequence. Why Did Israel Attack Iran’s Nuclear Site? Israel has long considered Iran's nuclear program an existential threat. Recently, tensions escalated following a report by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) that found Iran in breach of its nuclear non-proliferation obligations. The IAEA revealed that Tehran was enriching uranium to near weapons-grade levels, accumulating enough to build as many as nine nuclear bombs. Although Israel's initial strikes did not directly destroy Iran’s deeply buried enrichment facilities, they appeared to target high-ranking regime figures—similar to Israel’s previous strategy against Hezbollah in Lebanon. Due to the depth and fortification of Iran’s nuclear sites, any complete destruction would likely require U.S. military support. Historical Context of Iran-Israel Hostility Iran and Israel have not maintained diplomatic relations since 1979, following the Islamic Revolution. Since then, relations have grown increasingly hostile. Iranian leadership has frequently called for the destruction of Israel and does not recognise its legitimacy as a state. Notably: Ayatollah Khomeini, the founder of the Islamic Republic, framed Jews as historic enemies of Islam. In 2000, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei referred to Israel as a “cancerous tumour.” In 2015, Khamenei warned Israel: “They will not see the end of these 25 years,” in response to statements made after the JCPOA nuclear agreement. This long-standing hostility fuels Israel’s deep concerns over a nuclear-armed Iran. Financial Costs of the War The war has come at a steep financial price: Israel is estimated to have spent $200 million per day, with missile interception systems like David’s Sling and Arrow 3 costing $700,000 to $4 million per interception. Over 400 missiles were fired by Iran, requiring repeated defensive responses. Offensive operations, including F-35 deployments over long distances, added millions more in daily operational costs. Iran, by contrast, is estimated to have spent between $80 million and $100 million on its retaliatory strikes. Human and Structural Impact Israel’s Offence: Killed 520 Iranians, including top military officials. Damaged multiple nuclear and military installations. Iran’s Retaliation: Killed 24 Israeli civilians. Targeted Tel Aviv, destroying hundreds of homes and buildings, and severely disrupting the economic hub of Israel. So, Who Won? From a strategic standpoint, Israel appears to have achieved its primary objective: damaging Iran’s nuclear capability and disrupting its nuclear ambitions. Despite Iran's fierce retaliation and considerable destruction inflicted on Israeli infrastructure, the initial trigger concern over Iran's nuclear advancement was directly addressed. Israel’s ability to strike deeply into Iran’s defences and eliminate key military leadership, combined with its willingness to absorb high financial and human costs, suggests a tactical victory, if one defines "winning" as accomplishing military and strategic goals. However, in warfare, especially in the Middle East, no victory comes without a heavy price, in blood, resources, and long-term instability. Thanks for reading |
| Politics › A Proud Moment As June 14, Officially Proclaimed Igbo Day In North Carolina-USA by Masterstroke4(op): 9:56am On Jun 24, 2025 |
A Proud Moment As June 14 Is Officially Proclaimed Igbo Day In North Carolina By Governor Josh Stein. North Carolina, a state in the southeastern region of the United States, has officially declared 14 June 2025 ‘Igbo Day’ honouring the rich heritage and impactful contributions of the Igbo community throughout the state. The State’s Governor, Josh Stein, issued a proclamation on the North Carolina government website formally acknowledging the Igbo people as an integral part of the state. Following the proclamation, North Carolina is the fourth American state to proclaim a day after a Nigerian ethnic group officially. Minnesota recognised Igbo Day. The proclamation celebrates the rich heritage of the Igbos, an ethnic group from South-Eastern Nigeria whose indigenes have lived in North Carolina for over 50 years. In his declaration, Mr Stein acknowledged the impact of the Igbo community on the state’s economic, cultural, and civic life. According to him, the southeasterners of Nigeria have excelled in education, law, medicine, information technology, and the arts for the past 50 years. He stated, “The Igbos are committed to preserving and promoting their rich cultural heritage from Nigeria. Igbos in North Carolina are encouraged to connect, celebrate, and support one another, fostering a strong sense of unity, bonding, and belonging. “The Igbo community aspires to create an environment where their members thrive, traditions flourish, and their contributions to society are recognised and valued. “Through their collective efforts, the Igbo community aims to inspire future generations to embrace their identity and to foster a strong sense of belonging and purpose within North Carolina, ” he explained.

Igbo Day Festival Organisation Parts of the governor’s declaration also acknowledged the Igbo Day Festival Organisation, which was founded in July 2022 to promote Igbo culture through art, music, language, and community events. The group held its first Igbo Day Festival on 10 July 2022, aiming to foster cultural pride and preserve traditions for future generations. Mr Stein emphasised that the Igbo community’s dedication to civic engagement, unity, and cultural preservation makes them invaluable to the state.

| Politics › Afenifere Backs Tinubu's Push For State Police, Calls It Long Overdue. by Masterstroke4(op): 7:38pm On Jun 23, 2025 |
The pan-Yoruba socio-political organisation, Afenifere, has commended President Bola Tinubu for his determination to ensure the establishment of state police in Nigeria. In a statement issued by its National Publicity Secretary, Jare Ajayi, the organisation said Nigeria has long been overdue for a state-controlled policing system. “We are aware that President Bola Tinubu is committed to having state police take off as soon as possible, going by his pronouncements and the steps his government has taken on this issue,” Ajayi stated. He noted that President Tinubu’s recent remarks in Makurdi and Abuja further underscored his determination to see the initiative implemented. Ajayi recalled that during a Town Hall meeting in Makurdi, Benue State, last Wednesday, the President reiterated his commitment to state police. He added that the declaration echoed Tinubu’s earlier remarks made on Tuesday in Abuja at the Constitution Review Legislative Dialogue on National Security, organised by the House of Representatives and the Office of the National Security Adviser. Afenifere expressed optimism that the establishment of state police was imminent, particularly as most state governors and Houses of Assembly have expressed support. Tinubu's govt. committed to unlocking inactive, untapped energy assets - Lokpobiri Obi questions Tinubu’s response to Benue killings Yul Edochie claims Nigerians don't hate Tinubu Tracing the history of policing in Nigeria, Ajayi pointed out that since the establishment of the Nigerian Police Force (NPF) in 1960, policing has remained centralised under the control of the Federal Government. He recalled that demands for decentralisation date back several decades. Ajayi mentioned the 2006 Presidential Committee on Police Reform led by M. D. Yusuf and the 2012 committee headed by Parry Osayande—both of which recommended decentralisation, but whose reports remained unimplemented. He also highlighted the 2021 resolutions by the governors of the 17 Southern states, who jointly called for state police in meetings held in Asaba, Lagos, and Enugu. More recently, state governors at a Council of State meeting reaffirmed the need for state police. “In view of the concurrency of opinions on the need to have state police now among the national and state legislators as well as the Executive Arm of Government, it is hoped that state police will take off very soon in Nigeria,” Afenifere stated.

| Foreign Affairs › Iran’s Foreign Minister Appeals To UK, France, Germany To Help Stop Israel by Masterstroke4(op): 5:59pm On Jun 20, 2025 |
Iran’s Foreign Minister Appeal To UK, France, Germany To Help Stop War With Israel. According to Al Jazeera, Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi is set to travel to Geneva on Friday to meet with his counterparts from the United Kingdom, France, and Germany in a bid to stop the ongoing fighting between Iran and Israel. The meeting comes amid escalating military strikes, with Israel targeting Iranian nuclear and military sites and Iran retaliating with missile attacks. According to Foad Izadi, a professor of international relations at Tehran University, Iran hopes the European ministers can pressure US President Donald Trump to restrain Israel’s attacks. Izadi emphasized Iran’s flexibility in nuclear negotiations but warned that Israel’s real aim is regime change, not just halting Iran’s nuclear program. “Iran has been flexible in giving concessions,” Izadi said. “The problem is that, as we saw from the Israeli defence minister, they want regime change. They know Iran’s nuclear program is not weaponizing. Most of the world knows that already. The real reason for attacking Iran is to change its government, which will not happen.” The talks in Geneva are part of a European effort to de-escalate tensions and revive diplomatic dialogue. The foreign ministers of Germany, France, and the UK—known as the E3—have been coordinating with the US to persuade Iran to guarantee its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes only. The meeting will also include the European Union’s top diplomat, Kaja Kallas. This diplomatic push contrasts with the uncertainty surrounding US involvement, as President Trump has yet to decide whether to join Israel’s military campaign. European leaders have urged restraint from all sides to avoid further escalation and civilian casualties. The Geneva talks mark a crucial moment in efforts to find a negotiated resolution to the conflict and prevent a broader regional war.

| Politics › "₦550 Per Litre”, Oil Marketers Move To Sell Fuel Cheaper Than Dangote by Masterstroke4(op): 2:58pm On Jun 20, 2025 |
Breaking: "₦550 Per Litre”, Oil Marketers Move To Sell Cheaper Fuel As Dangote Refinery Halts Sale. Again Petrol Landing Cost Drops –Nigerian Marketers Speak On New Price, As Drop In Petrol Prices Expected The price war between the two big players has resulted in multiple price cuts over the last few months, with the importers and oil marketers bearing the brunt as they cannot sell their imported stock. The frequent and unpredictable fuel price cuts from Dangote Refinery and the NNPCL have caused marketers major losses. Now, the marketers are teaming up to negotiate better deals with importers and secure Meanwhile, the Dangote Refinery has reportedly halted the sale of fuel to Nigerian stations amid global price fluctuations. … EXPOSED: Smuggled Nigerian Petrol Floods W’African Markets, Sells N1,700/Litre Oil marketers in Nigeria have commenced negotiations with international suppliers to secure cheaper petroleum products. This is a strategic move to stay competitive, given the low prices already offered by the Dangote Refinery and the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation Limited (NNPCL). However, this move to secure cheaper fuel imports can give them a fighting chance to reclaim a sizeable share of the Nigerian market. Note that Dangote refinery currently sells the product at N825 while the partners retail at N865 in Lagos State. In an interview with the PUNCH, the National President of the Petroleum Products Retail Outlet Owners Association of Nigeria (PETROAN), Billy Gillis-Harry, said negotiations are ongoing to get affordable petrol from foreign traders. He noted that the prices from the domestic refiners are worrisome, and many filling stations have shut down due to the inability to afford them. He said:“How do you get cheaper fuel? It is only by arrangement. Marketers will have to find a way to buy what they need to buy. The only way we can do it is to collaborate and buy products from a very dependable importer. That’s the only way we can do it.” He added that the marketers had once reached an agreement with a foreign trader to import fuel at ₦550 per litre and to pay in naira instead of dollars, and Gillis-Harry insisted that it could be done again. Gillis Harry explained: “It is negotiation. That is the power of numbers. That’s why PETROAN can do that because we have the numbers to determine how our businesses can come. But now, we have to make sure that we get it right.” The PETROAN president revealed that the association had already struck deals with some of the foreign traders in November 2024, and would now be pursuing them to a logical end. He added that while they encourage local production, the sudden price changes from the domestic refiners have also posed a major challenge for the marketers, often impacting their profits. Gillis-Harry also criticized the recent move from the Dangote Refinery to distribute petroleum products nationwide, noting that it could cause job losses among marketers and tanker drivers. This is contrary to the stand of other energy consultants, who insist that thousands of jobs will be created from the initiative. 1 Like

| Foreign Affairs › Breaking News: UK Deploys BAE Typhoon Jets And Voyager Tankers As Iran Threatens by Masterstroke4(op): 4:14am On Jun 18, 2025 |
On June 14, 2025, BAE Systems’ Typhoon multirole fighters and Airbus Voyager air-to-air refueling aircraft, key assets in British airpower, are being prepared for deployment to the Middle East amid escalating tensions between Iran and Israel. As reported by BBC News, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer confirmed the move ahead of the G7 summit, stating the assets are being sent for "contingency support." The decision comes after a rapid deterioration of the regional security environment, with Iranian missile launches and Israeli retaliatory strikes dominating recent developments. Iran has further heightened tensions by explicitly threatening Western assets in the region, including British bases in Cyprus, should they be used to support Israel. The RAF’s increased presence highlights both operational readiness and a warning posture to deter further escalation. Follow Army Recognition on Google News at this link Strategically, deploying RAF Typhoons and Voyagers serves as a visible commitment to the collective Western deterrence posture in the face of Iranian threats toward UK, US, and French regional assets The Eurofighter Typhoon, developed by a European consortium led by BAE Systems in the UK, is a twin-engine, supersonic, multirole combat aircraft capable of performing air superiority, ground attack, and reconnaissance missions. Operated by No. 903 Expeditionary Air Wing and based on RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus for Middle Eastern operations, Typhoons are typically supported by Airbus A330 MRTT Voyager refueling aircraft, allowing for extended air patrols and rapid deployment. The system falls under the air dominance and aerial refueling category of defense capabilities and directly supports forward contingency operations, a core principle in NATO-aligned air power doctrine. RAF Typhoons have a consistent operational footprint in the region, primarily as part of Operation Shader, the UK’s contribution to the coalition campaign against Daesh in Iraq and Syria. Previous deployments involved Tranche 1 and Tranche 2 Typhoon variants armed with Paveway IV precision-guided bombs and Meteor air-to-air missiles, providing both deterrence and precision strike capability. Voyagers stationed at RAF Brize Norton have regularly supported these operations by enabling in-air refueling, significantly multiplying the RAF's range and endurance across hostile or complex terrain. The Typhoon’s greatest advantage lies in its versatility and advanced avionics suite, which includes CAPTOR radar and PIRATE IRST sensor systems, allowing for multi-target tracking and high-precision engagement. Voyager tankers, with their dual role of strategic airlift and multi-point refueling, ensure force projection beyond continental basing. Their integration grants the UK the ability to sustain long-range Combat Air Patrols (CAP), airborne command nodes, and immediate QRA (Quick Reaction Alert) tasks in conflict-prone airspace. Together, these platforms allow for simultaneous deterrence, reconnaissance, and close air support missions. Strategically, deploying RAF Typhoons and Voyagers serves as a visible commitment to the collective Western deterrence posture in the face of Iranian threats toward UK, US, and French regional assets. Of particular concern is RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus, which has been explicitly mentioned in Iranian warnings. Positioned likely at Akrotiri and potentially in Gulf states via temporary overflight agreements, these aircraft form a rapid reaction layer to defend shipping lanes, regional allies, and British sovereign facilities. Operationally, they can enforce air denial zones, perform defensive counter-air missions, and reassure partner nations in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC). Geopolitically, it signals the UK’s alignment with de-escalation through force posture, while remaining ready for kinetic support, should the situation worsen. The RAF is likely to deploy Typhoon FGR4 variants and Voyager KC2/KC3 models, both equipped for high-tempo contingency operations. The Typhoon FGR4's capability to integrate with Litening III pods and deploy advanced munitions such as Brimstone or ASRAAM enhances its responsiveness to a broad range of combat scenarios, from air policing to precision strikes. Voyagers will provide critical fuel support not only for RAF jets but also allied airframes operating in the theater, underlining a role beyond national air defense. This maneuver reflects a broader shift in British defense policy under the Starmer government toward flexible power projection through scalable assets. In a region facing heightened volatility, and with British infrastructure such as RAF Akrotiri now potentially within range of Iranian retaliation, the RAF’s forward deployment of combat jets and refuelers constitutes both a precautionary and political act. It provides assurance to allies, safeguards strategic interests, and signals that Britain will act decisively to protect its assets and regional stability. 1 Like

| Politics › Obi’s Candidacy “Non-Negotiable, If The Coalition Is To Succeed” Says Ononuju. by Masterstroke4(op): 7:59pm On Jun 02, 2025 |
Katch Ononuju, another stakeholder in the coalition, insisted that Peter Obi’s candidacy must be respected if the alliance is to succeed. He confirmed that Obi has made up his mind to contest the 2027 presidency with Datti Baba-Ahmed once again. If the proposed All Democratic Alliance (ADA) is registered, observers believe that Amaechi could lead the new party, while Atiku and Obi may seek the tickets of SDP and ADC, respectively. Former Bayelsa State Governor, Seriake Dickson, used the opportunity of Amaechi’s birthday to warn coalition leaders about the dangers of repeating their 2015 political tactics. “There are a number of you here who are expert conspirators, who know how to assemble coalitions and then take out governments, as you did to my party in 2015,” Dickson said. Now 11 years down the line, poverty has been weaponised, and the challenges remain. My advice? Shine your eyes. |

| Politics › FG To Deploy 7 Million Smart Meters Across Nigeria To End Estimated Billing. by Masterstroke4(op): 11:50pm On Jun 01, 2025 |
The Federal Government of Nigeria has announced plans to deploy seven million smart electricity meters across the country through the Presidential Metering Initiative as part of efforts to eliminate estimated billing and revenue leakages in the power sector. This was disclosed by Mrs. Olu Verheijen, Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Energy, during an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Sunday in Abuja, in commemoration of the second year of President Tinubu’s administration. Verheijen said the rollout of smart meters is a key component of the Tinubu administration’s strategy to improve the commercial viability of the electricity value chain, particularly the gas-to-power segment. “There are a number of actions or interventions that we are taking to ensure that we improve the commercial viability of the gas-to-power value chain.” “We are developing the policy and the frameworks that enable us to transition to a system that allows us to charge the cost of delivering electricity, and more importantly, to drive efficiencies in arriving at that cost,” she said. According to Verheijen, part of the government’s broader power sector reform includes the resolution of legacy debts owed to generation companies and gas suppliers. “We plan to clear the legacy debt with a mix of cash and promissory notes to ensure that the generation companies and the gas suppliers are also paid.” She attributed the accumulated debt to the government’s previous inability to fund electricity subsidies and the poor revenue performance of electricity distribution companies (Discos). “In addition to this, we are making sure that we improve revenue assurance by ensuring that most customers on the grid are metered.” “With this, we can end estimated billing and ensure that we reduce collection losses so that customers who get electricity are paying customers,” she added. In return for resolving outstanding debts, the government will require performance commitments from all players across the power value chain. The Special Adviser also emphasized the need for stronger governance within the Discos, noting their central role in revenue collection and service delivery in the electricity supply chain. She explained that regulatory frameworks would be used to ensure that the distribution companies have both the technical and financial capacity to deliver more reliable electricity to Nigerian homes and businesses. Early this year, the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) imposed fines totaling N628 million on eight electricity distribution companies, including Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC) and Ikeja Electric (IKEDC), for violating the capping regulations on estimated billing. These penalties were calculated based on the volume of excessive billing and the duration of the infractions. NERC emphasized that this enforcement action is part of its broader regulatory efforts to curb estimated billing abuse and accelerate the deployment of prepaid meters under the National Mass Metering Programme (NMMP) and other initiatives.
