An indication of a looming crisis in the manufacturing sector emerged, after the Steel Manufacturing Group of the Manufacturing Association of Nigeria (MAN) threatened to shut down their factories over exorbitant electricity tariffs. Citing lopsidedness, MAN warned that the new tariff order Multi Year Tariff Order (MYTO 2.1) which went into effect on January 1, […]

After months of prevarication and watching the country wantonly besieged by the horrendous activities of the murderous Boko Haram sect; having advertised its gross incapacitation, having demonstrated in word and deed its cluelessness amid incessant taunts from audacious attacks on major towns and the continuous shameless occupation of the northeastern part of the country, the […]

Assistant Inspector-General of Police Mbu Joseph Mbu is armed and dangerous! It is necessary to serve this warning to the people of Lagos and Ogun States over whose security of lives and property Mbu has been given immediate charge.
