“We chose to offer this kind of humanitarian support in recognition of the efforts of His Excellency, Alhaji Abba Kabir Yusuf, the Executive Governor of Kano State, who has continued to revitalize the health sector and other critical areas of development, with a view to easing the burden on citizens, especially the less privileged across the state.”

The Northern Youth Assembly (NYA), a coalition of progressive youth voices across the 19 Northern States, condemned the recent public altercation involving the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, and a young military officer in Abuja. The group described the incident as “uncivil and disgusting,” asserting that Wike’s conduct reflects a troubling pattern of arrogance and abuse of power.

The confrontation, which occurred during an enforcement exercise in Abuja, was captured in a viral video showing Wike in a heated exchange with uniformed soldiers guarding a disputed plot of land. According to reports by Daily Post, the Minister lashed out at one of the officers, saying, “Shut up! Keep quiet! You are a fool. As at the time I graduated, you were still in…”. The NYA argued that such public humiliation of a law-abiding officer is unethical and a direct affront to the values of public service and leadership expected under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration.

In their statement, jointly signed by Dr. Ali Mohammed (President) and Dr. Abdulhafiz Garba (Secretary General), the NYA emphasized that this incident is not isolated. They cited multiple allegations against Wike, including persistent verbal intimidation of subordinates and contractors, politicization of administrative matters for personal vendetta, and confrontational outbursts against political stakeholders. These behaviors, they claim, have consistently tarnished the image of the federal government.

The group also raised concerns about transparency in recent demolitions and property allocations within the FCT, suggesting that Wike’s leadership has eroded public trust. “Leadership in 21st-century Nigeria must reflect maturity, restraint, and respect for due process,” the NYA stated, adding that Wike’s actions undermine democratic principles and disrespect uniformed institutions.

Calling for immediate action, the NYA urged President Tinubu to review Wike’s continued tenure as FCT Minister. They argued that his removal would signal a commitment to accountability and a rejection of impunity in public office. “Nigeria deserves leaders who uplift institutions, not those who embarrass them; who inspire the youth, not those who intimidate them,” the statement concluded.

The Nigerian Senate has directed the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) to reimburse the Federation Account with ₦210 trillion. The order was issued after the Senate formally rejected the company’s justifications for the unaccounted funds.

The decision came to a head when NNPCL Group Chief Executive Officer, Bayo Ojulari, declined to appear before the Senate Committee on Public Accounts. He had been summoned to clarify the NNPCL’s official responses to 19 detailed financial queries. With his non-appearance and the submitted explanations found to be insufficient, the Committee proceeded with the directive for a full refund.

The committee, chaired by Senator Aliyu Wadada, has been investigating the firm’s financial operations from 2017 to 2023.

Its probe revealed ₦103 trillion listed as accrued expenses and ₦107 trillion as receivables in NNPCL’s audited financial statements — figures the Senate described as “contradictory and unjustifiable.”

Wadada, while addressing the committee, said NNPCL’s claims raised serious concerns about transparency and accountability in the management of public funds.

“NNPC claimed ₦103 trillion as accrued expenses and ₦107 trillion as receivables -amounting to ₦210 trillion. On question eight, NNPC’s explanation on the ₦107 trillion receivables -equivalent to about $117 billion -contradicts available facts and evidence provided by NNPC itself. The committee is duty-bound to reject this,” Wadada stated.

He further questioned how the company could have paid ₦103 trillion in cash calls to Joint Venture (JV) partners in 2023 alone, despite generating only ₦24 trillion in crude revenue between 2017 and 2022.

“Cash Call arrangements were abolished in 2016 under the President Muhammadu Buhari administration. How can NNPC claim to have paid ₦103trn in one year, when it only generated ₦24trn in revenue over five years? Where did NNPC get that money?” he queried.

Adding that the company’s explanations is unsatisfactory, Wadada said the committee would not hesitate to summon former officials of NNPCL and the National Petroleum Investment Management Services (NAPIMS) if the current management fails to provide credible answers.
