The Director, External Affairs and Social Performance, Seplat Energy, Chioma Afe, represented by the general manager, Government Relations, Seplat, Hadiza Garbati, pointed out that the quiz competition which dated back to 2012, had seen the company remain active in host communities and had been helping to foster students in the right direction.

She noted that by the quality of participation in this year’s edition, the students had demonstrated that the initiative is already bearing fruits by nurturing young people.

She commended the teachers from the schools, many of whom had also been trained under various CSI initiatives of Seplat for encouraging the students to make the 2025 PEARLs Quiz the huge success it had turned out to be.

The Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, His Excellency Dr Adegboyega Oyetola, has reaffirmed the Federal Government’s unwavering commitment to strengthening Nigeria’s indigenous shipping industry, declaring that there is no going back on efforts to reposition local operators for global competitiveness.

Dr Oyetola gave the assurance recently when he received a delegation from the Nigeria Maritime Exhibition and Conference (NIMAREX) planning committee in his office in Abuja.

The delegation, led by Mr Sola Adewunmi, Chairman of the Committee and President of the Nigerian Shipowners Association (NISA), also included Ms Funmi Folorunso, Secretary of the Committee, and Mr Tounbo Ogunwale, Director of Government Relations.

The team visited the Minister to seek the Ministry’s support for NIMAREX 2025, scheduled to take place in Lagos from 17th to 19th November 2025.

Minister Oyetola commended the committee for reviving the once-dormant NIMAREX platform and said the government views the event as a crucial avenue for collaboration, investment promotion, and knowledge exchange within the maritime sector.

He assured that the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is taking decisive steps to create a conducive operating environment for indigenous shipowners, address longstanding structural challenges, and unlock the full potential of Nigeria’s maritime domain.

‘Our commitment to indigenous shipping is total and irreversible,’ Minister Oyetola said. ‘The Federal Government is working round the clock to put in place the right policies, funding mechanisms, and infrastructure that will enable Nigerian shipowners to compete favourably, not just locally but on the international stage. There is no going back on this commitment.’

‘We are determined to see Nigerian-owned vessels flying our national flag and operating sustainably within our coastal waters and beyond,’ the Minister added. ‘This will create jobs, retain value within our economy, and build a stronger maritime nation anchored on local capacity,’ he further stated.

Earlier, Mr Sola Adewunmi said NIMAREX was revived after several years of inactivity to complement the government’s renewed push to attract foreign direct investment (FDI) into the maritime and blue economy sectors.

He explained that the upcoming edition would serve as a unifying platform for public and private stakeholders to discuss strategies for sustainable growth.

‘NIMAREX is back, and this time it is bigger, broader, and better aligned with national objectives,’ Adewunmi said. ‘We have the full support of key industry associations, including NISA, the Shipowners Association of Nigeria (SOAN), and the Nigerian Chamber of Shipping. Our goal is to position Nigeria as a leading maritime hub in Africa.’

He thanked President Bola Tinubu for creating the Ministry of Marine and Blue Economy, and commended Minster Oyetola for his visionary leadership and his inclusive approach to engaging stakeholders in the implementation of the Blue Economy agenda, noting that the Minister’s support has rekindled confidence among shipowners and investors alike.

In its avowed determination to improve the lives of its citizens, the Federal Government has expressed its readiness to collaborate with the King Salman Foundation to drive socio-economic development in Nigeria.

This development follows a meeting held on Wednesday between the Minister of State for Finance, Dr Doris Uzoka-Anite, in her office in Abuja, with the representatives from the King Salman Foundation.

In a statement, Mohammed Manga, Director, Information and Public Relations, said the discussions focused on exploring areas of collaboration that would yield tangible benefits for Nigeria’s socio-economic development, such as Human Development, promoting education, health and poverty alleviation, Agricultural Development and Food Security.

The Minister emphasised the importance of collaboration in achieving the shared vision of improving the lives and livelihoods of Nigerians, particularly in line with the Renewed Hope Agenda of the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu-led Administration.

She commended the Foundation for showing interest in partnering with Nigeria to drive projects in key sectors such as agriculture and health, with a focus on malaria eradication, malnutrition, conflict resolution between herders and farmers, and borderline sanitation.

Speaking earlier, the leader of the delegation, Dr Ali Alghamdi, assured of the Foundation’s commitment to working closely with the Ministry with a view to ensuring the realisation of the policy objectives of the present administration.

The King Salman Foundation, with partnerships in over 100 countries, has assured the Ministry of its commitment to working closely to realise the policy objectives of the present administration.

The Foundation is one of the donors to Live and Livelihood Funds (LLF), which offers a special grant aimed at supporting the member countries to execute projects with humanitarian concerns under the Islamic Development Bank (IsDB).

This historic partnership marks a significant milestone in Nigeria’s development journey, poised to improve millions of Nigerians’ lives through fruitful collaboration.

THE Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) has announced the commemoration of its 20th anniversary to mark two decades of dedicated service in regulating and shaping the Nigerian Electricity Supply Industry (NESI).

Established on 31st October 2005 under the Electric Power Sector Reform Act (EPSRA) 2005, now replaced by the Electricity Act 2023, NERC has played a pivotal role in steering the evolution of Nigeria’s electricity market.

And in the past 20 years, the Commission has championed reforms that foster transparency, accountability, consumer protection and sustainable growth across the sector.

A statement signed by the management of the Commission said the anniversary celebration reflects on the NERC’s remarkable journey from the early challenges of its establishment, through the regulation of the unbundled power sector, the privatisation of key assets in the value chain and the oversight of the Nigerian Electricity Market from the post-privatisation and Interim Market stages to the Transition Electricity Market, among other milestones.

To mark the milestone, however, the Commission will host a series of events and activities aimed at showcasing its achievements, engaging stakeholders and setting a forward-looking agenda for the future of electricity in Nigeria.

Stakeholders from government, industry, development partners and consumer advocacy groups will come together to reflect on the sector’s progress, share insights and renew their commitment to building a reliable, affordable and sustainable electricity supply industry.

Speaking ahead of the celebration, NERC vice chairman, Dr Musiliu Oseni, said, ‘This 20th anniversary is not just a milestone, it’s a reaffirmation of our mandate to protect consumers, promote investment and ensure a level-playing field in Nigeria’s electricity sector. We remain committed to driving reforms that deliver tangible value to Nigerians.’

Highlights of the celebration will include technical session featuring panel discussions by eminent personalities in the power sector; health and wellness session; debate contest on energy-saving practices for secondary school students; a commemorative dinner to honour pioneer and deceased members of staff as well as past chairmen and commissioners.

The statement added that the aforementioned are designed to foster collaboration, innovation and public engagement in the sector.

‘As NERC looks ahead to the next 20 years, the Commission remains steadfast in its mission to regulate the electricity supply industry in the public interest, balancing the needs of consumers and operators while supporting Nigeria’s energy transition.’

Foluke Adeboye, the wife of Pastor Enoch Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), has revealed how her family dog passed away on January 1st due to having eaten poisonous food that was delivered to their residence.

The 77-year-old cleric recounted the near-trageity in a video recently shared with church members, stating that the household barely escaped harm when the suspicious meal was taken from their table.

Mrs. Adeboye explained that the food was brought to their residence as one of the many New Year gifts received. However, feeling a sudden sense of unease, she instinctively instructed her staff to feed the dish to their dogs.

‘Somebody on one of the New Year Day brought food to our house. Of course, so many people had been coming in, going, and eating. I just entered into the kitchen and asked who owned this food. They said a person brought it. I looked at the food and asked them to give it to the dogs,’ she narrated.

She added that a visitor from London who witnessed the decision was shocked.

‘One woman who came from London was looking at me, and she almost abused me but because I’m a mother that’s why she couldn’t abuse me immediately. But in an hour’s time, the gateman brought the news that the dog has died,’ she explained.

Foluke Adeboye warned the congregation about the dire consequences had the family consumed the meal.

‘Imagine that on a New Year Day somebody in the house of Daddy GO ate that food, or about three or four people ate it. What will be the news?’ She asked.

She used the cautionary tale to advise worshippers on the importance of spiritual discernment and vigilance when receiving gifts, particularly during festive seasons. Pastor Enoch Adeboye and Foluke married in 1967 and have three children.

ABOUT 50 per cent of the Nigerian population is young and under the age of 18 years. Nigeria currently has the highest number of older persons in Africa and the 19th globally, with the number likely to triple by 2050. According to the World Health Organization, about 20 per cent of people in Nigeria live with mental illness. A 2018 report by the World Health Organization (WHO) also reveals that about 29 million people live with disabilities in Nigeria. All these figures simply underline the high percentage of vulnerable people in Nigeria who require social care. On the global scene, it is estimated that the number of people who require social care is set to hit 2.3 billion.

Social care involves assisting individuals and families, including children, people with chronic illnesses and disabilities, and the elderly, who require support. Social care can be in the form of social support from family, friends, and neighbours, or formal social care from paid professionals. Social care is not just important for individuals’ health and well-being; it is essential for the growth of the economy and society.

Mental illnesses and affected people and their families often carry a high burden of caregiving, as well as need for social services. Regrettably, social services for affected persons are grossly inadequate or nonexistent in Nigeria and across Africa. It is against this backdrop that the International Day of Care and Support is observed on the 29th of October, as proclaimed by the United Nations General Assembly. It emphasizes the value of social care for human, economic, and social wellbeing. It is also a day for advocacy to improve the care economy. This year, the theme, ‘Care and Support for All: Human Rights for All Those Providing and Requiring Care and Support’, calls for joint systems action towards improving the care structure and system.

Nigeria remains a largely disability-unfriendly country. Most public facilities remain inaccessible to children, the elderly, and persons with disabilities. The stigma and discrimination associated with mental illness and disability prevent persons with mental illness and disability from getting access to quality education, healthcare, and decent work. Many public educational institutions are still largely inaccessible to the disabled and those with mental illness. Many courses in the tertiary institutions are not available for enrolment by people with disabilities due to the lack of facilities to accommodate them. With the erratic power supply, underfunding of the healthcare sector, and long queues at health facilities, vulnerable people still lack access to social care and support.

Comprehensive health coverage is a right for all citizens, with attention to children, persons with disabilities, and the elderly. The National Health Insurance Authority (NHIA), a federal government agency, and several state government schemes are designed to provide financial access to healthcare services. However, the coverage is still low, and vulnerable people may still lack access to different healthcare services.

Social care and support: A responsibility for all

In Nigeria, government agencies develop social welfare programs to address the lack of institutional infrastructure for social care. However, these programs are still poorly implemented and do not provide adequate coverage for all. Government agencies and stakeholders must design and implement policies that foster infrastructures and systems that are family, elderly, and disability friendly. Health insurance should be properly implemented to cover vulnerable people and their caregivers.

Social care and support is essential work that is often undervalued and disregarded by many people. It is often regarded as the responsibility of women who make up most of the social care workforce. Women provide two-thirds of the informal care with little support and resources. As a community, we must shift from considering social care as women’s sole responsibility to a joint, pivotal responsibility of all of us. Men must be involved in the caregiving of their children and parents. Social care is a daunting task, and the burden can be overwhelming for caregivers. Caregiving as a community effort instead of an individual effort shifts the attention from individuals to the communities and systems, thereby reducing caregiver burden.

Organizations must also be at the forefront of fostering care and support for all. Workplace policies should be disability and family-friendly by providing accommodations for disability, parental leave, health leave, health insurance, remote work options where possible, and other workplace benefits for employees. More organizations should implement, and fund community projects targeted towards vulnerable populations.

The Asido Foundation, through Project Hope, contributes to the care and support for vulnerable persons by rehabilitating persons with mental illness who are experiencing homelessness. This project provides both medical care for persons with mental illness and psychosocial support for them and their caregivers.

Conclusion

Social care and support sustain economies and strengthen communities. Community growth and optimal well-being do not just happen; they start with care! We must therefore contribute our joint efforts to promoting care and support for all.

The Nigerian Medical Association (NMA) says it will begin monthly psychiatric evaluation for all prison inmates across the country from November 2025.

The Vice President of the association, Dr Benjamin Olowojebutu, disclosed this on Wednesday in Abuja during a visit to the Controller-General of the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS).

The visit also included the donation of reusable sanitary pads to all female inmates nationwide.

The initiative was supported by Diatom Impact/Platform Capital, a Nigerian company that produces sanitary products.

Olowojebutu said the psychiatric evaluation would ensure that every inmate had access to mental health tools, while the sanitary pad donation aimed to promote the dignity and well-being of female inmates.

‘Today marks a great day for me personally, in July, we met with the investigative panel and heard touching revelations about the condition of inmates, especially the hygiene of women.

‘I made a vow that day that NMA would provide sanitary pads to support them,’ he said.

He noted that the association’s findings also showed that inmates required consistent psychological support and psychiatric assessment to aid rehabilitation.

‘With our continued collaboration with the NCoS, we are confident that the lives of inmates, both male and female, will improve.

‘We have agreed, together with our partners at Diatom Impact/Platform Capital, to continue being our brothers’ keepers’.

In his response, the Controller-General of the NCoS, Mr Sylvester Nwakuche, commended the NMA for its commitment to improving the welfare of inmates and for sustaining its partnership with the Service.

He said the NMA’s donation and its pledge to provide ongoing medical and mental health support showed sincerity and professionalism.

Nwakuche also praised Diatom Impact/Platform Capital for building an incubation centre at the Kuje Correctional Centre in Abuja, where inmates are receiving training and certification in digital skills, including Cisco programmes.

‘Our inmates are not the dregs of society, They come from all walks of life and deserve opportunities for rehabilitation.

‘We must continue to involve NGOs and well-meaning Nigerians in making life better and more meaningful for them’.

On his part, Dr Akintoye Akindele, Chairman of Diatom Impact/Platform Capital, said supporting inmates was a moral obligation, as many found themselves in prison due to circumstances beyond their control.

‘Everybody deserves dignity, hope, and a chance at life. It’s an honour to partner with the NMA because they are the real heroes doing the work of nation-building.

‘We must focus on positive stories and support good initiatives that uplift our society,’ Akindele said.

He added that inmates should not be treated as outcasts but as citizens deserving of respect and rehabilitation.

‘Prisoners are human beings first,’ he said. ‘They are in correctional facilities to learn and become better. We must build a country that treats every life with dignity.’

Comptroller Joe Anani, the Customs Area Controller of the Ports Terminal Multiservices Limited (PTML) Command of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), has announced the collection of N350,347,173,787.92 from January to September 2025 as revenue collected in the first nine months of 2025.

Speaking at his maiden press briefing recently, Controller Anani said that the collected figure is 96.64 percent and almost equal to the N362,521,085,250.98 that was collected by the Command from January to December, 2024.

According to him, the Command also intercepted a 1X20FT container with marks and number GCNU1275880 falsely declared as supermarket items but upon 100% examination was found to contain pharmaceutical drugs.

He also revealed that for third quarter, 2025, the Command recorded a total of ?116,243,603,670.58 revenue which is 34.3 percent higher than the ?86,584,012,733.43 that was collected during the third quarter of 2024.

According to him, a comparative analysis of the Command’s revenue performance in the last quarter shows that the command has maintained a steady increase in collection and this is happening despite the teething challenges of the B’Odogwu platform which the Command is fast overcoming.

Speaking on anti smuggling, the CAC said that two containers of unregistered medicines were intercepted include: one (1) WE Tactical made in Taiwan Airsoft pistol, Two (2) magazines and 12 rounds of live ammunitions, 1x40ft container with marks and number ACLU9806850 falsely declared as magnetic resonance imaging apparatus but upon 100% examination found to contain 6,262 cartons of antibiotics of various brands.

He added that in line with the CGC’s directive on enhancing customs community relationship, the command’s existing relationships with sister government agencies and other stakeholders have been boosted.

In line with the collaboration policy thrust of the Comptroller General of Customs, Bashir Adewale Adeniyi, Comptroller Anani handed the seized containers over to the Director of port inspection directorate of NAFDAC.

On Sunday, 26 October 2025, history was made at London Heathrow Airport as Nigeria’s Air Peace, inaugurated its Abuja-London Heathrow service, marking the triumphant return of the nation’s colours to one of the world’s most prestigious aviation hubs after over a decade.

The colourful ceremony, held at Terminal 3’s check-in area, attracted dignitaries from Nigeria and the United Kingdom, including senior government officials, diplomats, aviation regulators, business leaders, and strategic partners. The event featured goodwill messages, speeches, and a ribbon-cutting session that highlighted the significance of this new service in strengthening bilateral trade, tourism, and people-to-people ties between both nations.

Welcoming guests, Mr. Ross Baker, Chief Customer Officer of Heathrow Airport, described the development as a milestone that deepens connectivity between Nigeria and the United Kingdom.

‘It is a real pleasure to welcome everyone to Heathrow for this truly exciting occasion – the launch of Air Peace’s inaugural service between London and Abuja. This is more than a new route; it symbolizes a stronger, more connected future between our two nations,’ Baker said.

He congratulated Air Peace on joining the Heathrow family, noting that the service would enhance capacity on a route that recorded nearly 140,000 passengers in the past year alone.

In her remarks, Ms. Nnenna Onyema, Executive Director of Air Peace, hailed the launch as a powerful reaffirmation of Nigeria’s aviation resurgence.

‘For over a decade, no Nigerian flag carrier operated the London-Abuja route. Today, that silence is broken – our flag flies again,’ she declared to resounding applause. ‘As we say back home, Naija no dey carry last. This launch is not just a route opening; it’s a statement that Nigeria is back – stronger, prouder, and ready to compete globally.’

Ms. Onyema reflected on the airline’s remarkable growth from its humble beginnings 11 years ago into West and Central Africa’s largest privately owned carrier, now operating over 30 aircraft and expanding its footprint across continents.

‘This operation goes beyond transportation – it is a national statement of confidence and resilience,’ she added, extending gratitude to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for his administration’s progressive reforms that continue to strengthen Nigeria’s aviation industry. She also lauded the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo SAN, CON, for fostering an enabling environment that empowers Nigerian airlines to compete fairly and sustainably on the global stage.

Speaking at the event, Mrs. Oluwatoyin Olajide, Chief Operating Officer of Air Peace, described the new service as a defining milestone for both the airline and Nigeria’s aviation narrative.

‘When we began operations in 2014, we dreamed of building a world-class airline Nigerians could truly call their own. That dream has become reality. Today’s launch extends that dream from the heart of Abuja to the heart of London,’ she said.

Mrs. Olajide expressed appreciation to the Federal Government, UK aviation authorities, and the dedicated Air Peace team for their unwavering support.

‘This milestone reflects what can be achieved when private enterprise, national leadership, and international cooperation align. Our promise remains clear – to operate safely, reliably, and affordably while flying Nigeria’s flag with pride,’ she concluded.

In his goodwill message, the Director General of the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), Capt. Chris Najomo, described the event as a triumph of Nigerian excellence and resilience.

‘Opening a route into one of the world’s busiest and most competitive airports is no small feat. It reaffirms our nation’s capacity to meet global aviation standards and compete effectively on the world stage,’ he said, crediting the Honourable Minister’s Five-Point Aviation Agenda for creating the policies that enable indigenous carriers to thrive sustainably.

Delivering the keynote address, Honourable Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo SAN, CON, commended Air Peace for once again placing Nigeria on the global aviation map.

‘This route between Nigeria and the United Kingdom has existed for almost 90 years, and Air Peace’s entry into Heathrow adds a proud new chapter to that history,’ he said. ‘Air Peace’s success here is not merely a business accomplishment – it is a matter of national pride. It underscores our government’s commitment to supporting Nigerian airlines in achieving full utilization of their bilateral route rights.’ He applauded the airline for demonstrating that Nigeria can compete globally – and win.

With this launch, Air Peace reinforces its role as a catalyst for national development, driving connectivity, tourism, and trade while proudly showcasing Nigeria’s aviation potential on the world stage.
