It is not far-fetched to state that the Fiwasaye Roundabout urgently requires total upgrading. The persistent traffic gridlock along this axis during peak hours has become increasingly discomforting for motorists and residents alike.

The call for improvement—similar to the upgrades witnessed at First Bank, NEPA, and ShopRite junctions —was once again re-echoed following the unfortunate incident of a fallen truck, which further compounded the already heavy traffic in the area. This recurring challenge underscores the urgent need for decisive intervention.

It is high time the Fiwasaye road corridor receives the necessary improvements and comprehensive upgrade, to enhance traffic flow, ensure safety, and support the growing movement within this part of the city.

Court grants Emefiele ₦2bn bail

Justice Halilu Yusuf of the Federal Capital Territory High Court on Monday granted former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele, a bail at ₦2 billion bail.

Justice Yusuf granted the bail after Emefiele was arraigned on an eight-count charge in which he is accused of, among others, unlawfully acquiring a housing estate comprising 753 units, allegedly stealing and taking control of billions of naira in proxy accounts.

In the ruling, Justice Yusuf noted that Emefiele had been granted bail in three other criminal cases pending against him and that there was no evidence that he had jumped bail.

He then proceeded to admit him to bail on the condition that he must produce two sureties, who must own property worth ₦ 2 billion in either Asokoro, Maitama or Wuse 2 within the jurisdiction of the court. Justice Yusuf ordered Emefiele to submit his travel documents to the court and directed that he must perfect the bail by Wednesday, failing which he would be remanded in custody

INEC Rejects Kogi Senator’s Recall Petition, Petition Fails Over Major Omission

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has reviewed a petition for the recall of the Senator representing Kogi Central Senatorial District. The petition, submitted with six bags of documents containing signatures from over half of the 474,554 registered voters, was discussed at INEC’s weekly meeting on Tuesday, March 25, 2025.

However, INEC noted that the petitioners failed to provide a definite contact address and multiple phone numbers as required by Clause 1(f) of its 2024 Regulations and Guidelines for Recall. Only one phone number was submitted, making communication difficult.

INEC emphasized that a recall is solely the prerogative of registered voters and assured that once all submission requirements are met, the verification process will commence using the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS). The process will be transparent, with petitioners, the affected senator, accredited observers, and the media allowed to monitor proceedings.

The Commission is now working to notify the petitioners of the missing details and reaffirmed its commitment to due process, urging the public to disregard social media speculations.

Supreme Court reinstates Anyanwu as PDP National Secretary

The Supreme Court of Nigeria on Friday reinstated Senator Samuel Anyanwu as the Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party.

The apex Court in a unanimous judgment of a five-member panel said the matters bordering on the leadership or membership of a political party is its internal affair and should not be the business of a Court.

‎
‎The court proceeded to set aside the decision of Appeal Court, Enugu Division which on 20 December 2024 affirmed the removal of Anyanwu by a Federal High Court in Enugu.

The Apex Court held the Federal High Court lacked jurisdiction to have heard the matter instituted by Aniagwu Emmanuel.
