    B y Owei Lakemfa   If a labour leader has to make a choice between obeying the laws of the country and court orders on one hand, and defending the rights of workers on the other, can there be a democratic choice? That was the question I set out to answer in Abuja on August 21, 2026 at the workshop themed “From Violations to Justice: Strengthening the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) to Document, Resist and Combat Trade Union Rights Abuses in Nigeria.” I presented three practical cases to make my point.

  By allcitynews.ng The Centre for the Promotion of Private Enterprise (CPPE) has welcomed Nigeria’s 4.43 per cent real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth in the second quarter of 2026, describing the performance as the strongest quarterly expansion in five years and a sign that the economy is gaining momentum. In a policy brief signed by its Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Muda Yusuf, the CPPE said the Q2 growth rate represented an improvement from 3.89 per cent recorded in the first quarter of 2026 and 4.23 per cent in the corresponding period of 2025. The organisation, however, urged the government to ensure that the improving economic performance translates into increased investment, job creation and better living standards for Nigerians. According to the CPPE, the growth was driven by stronger oil production and broad-based expansion across agriculture, mining, construction, trade, refining, financial services, real estate and other service activities. ...
