  By Allcitynews.ng  The Executive Secretary of the National Sugar Development Council, NSDC, Mr. Kamar Bakrin, has revealed Nigerian manufacturers spent an estimated ₦1.34 trillion generating their own electricity. Even as he reiterated the cost of power, credit and logistics have continued to put them at a disadvantage. Bakrin disclosed this at the technical session of the 17th National Council on Industry, Trade and Investment, NCITI, in Enugu yesterday. According to Bakrin, factories in Nigeria pay far more than competitors for the three basic inputs of manufacturing. He cited the example of a plant in Aba and one in Ho Chi Minh City to buttress his point. He said why industrial electricity costs about eight US cents per kilowatt-hour in Vietnam and 10 cents in China, in Nigeria, it is 15 cents on the grid and up to 30 cents with diesel.   “Every factory in Nigeria is running a second, unwanted business as a private power station,” he added. Bakrin said working c...

Even as it announced the suspension of planned rehabilitation indefinitely.

  By Emmanuel Egbe Ehiawaguan POLITICALLY, Ewatto Community has always done its part. From the onset, we have supported all sons and daughters of Ewohimi seeking political positions. Even in the last gubernatorial election in Edo State, despite the odds, Ewatto voted massively to support our brother, Asue Ighodalo. As a result, PDP won with a landslide victory against APC in Ewatto. Yet, some voices from Ewohimi still say Ewatto should “bow our heads for them to cut us politically.” The Ikpea family, in particular, has supported Ewohimi Community more than any other community in Esanland.  We all recall how the Ikpea family contributed millions of naira toward building the new palace before the coronation of the new Onojie of Ewohimi, even when our own community was also in need of support.  More recently, the Ikpea family also supported Ewohimi Community with millions for the launch of the Ewohimi Security Network, even when Ewatto is yet to raise funds for our ...

  By allcitynews.ng  From Newsnowonline The Movement for the Transformation of Nigeria (MOTION) has rejected the proposed Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO) Regulation Bill before the National Assembly, describing it as a threat to Nigeria’s civic space and democratic freedoms. In a statement signed by its Convener, Hauwa Mustapha, and Co-Conveners, Christopher Isiguzo and Blessing Alims, the group called for the immediate withdrawal of the bill, arguing that existing laws already provide adequate oversight of civil society organisations. MOTION said Nigeria’s democracy depends on citizens’ ability to freely organise, associate and contribute to national development, noting that civil society organisations have played critical roles in humanitarian response, education, healthcare, climate action, women’s and youth empowerment, disaster relief, election monitoring, human rights advocacy and the promotion of accountability. The organisation warned that the proposed legislation ...

  By Owei Lakemfa A dozen Heads of State of the Economic Community of West African States, ECOWAS, met in Lungi, Sierra Leone on July 19, 2026. They issued the usually bland communique on a single currency, supported the illegal violation of a sister country’s sovereignty and made false declarations on the region’s political situation and democracy. The West African leaders spoke tongue-in-cheek when they declared that they are satisfied with “the steady progress made in democratic consolidation and political governance, as well as the relative stability and resilience of the region, amidst increasing geopolitical and geostrategic pressures.” But what satisfaction in democratic consolidation can they be talking about when, of the current twelve countries in ECOWAS, Guinea-Bissau is under direct military rule, the five-year military junta in Guinea headed by General Mamadi Doumbouya has just on May 31, 2026 shed its military uniform for civilian regalia with the people having no fre...
