SERAP wants lawmakers to reject President Tinubu's 24 billion dollar loan request completely. The advocacy group posted its concerns on social media about Nigeria's growing debt problems. They warned the new borrowing would push total debt to 183 trillion naira. This amount cannot be sustained, and it severely damages the country's financial health. Government revenue already goes mostly toward paying existing debt service costs.
President Tinubu requested approval from lawmakers to borrow $ 21.5 billion from foreign lenders. He also wants permission to issue 757.9 billion naira in domestic bonds. The money would fund infrastructure, healthcare, farming, schools, water systems, security, and job creation programs. The Federal Executive...
Eight communities from Imo State ask President Tinubu to remove soldiers from their farmland. Armed military forces surrounded 30,000 hectares of community property nine months ago. The troops prevented farmers from reaching their crops through intimidation and violence. Dr Ugo Jim-Nwoko speaks for the affected villages during a press meeting on Wednesday. The communities cannot grow food because soldiers block access to their fields.
Land problems began in 2006 when former Governor Achike Udenwa sought 2,000 hectares for a Chinese Village project. Two villages took the state government to court and won cases that canceled the land grab. Judges ordered the government to stay away from community property permanently. Governor Hope...

Chicken Inn hopes to win its first home game this Saturday against Triangle United. The team played six matches at Luveve Stadium without a victory this season.
