WEDNESDAY, MAY 27, 2026 CONGO BRAZAVILLE PRESS RELEASE AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK APPOINTS AVIATION MINISTER, FESTUS KEYAMO, SAN, AS CHAMPION OF ITS AVIATION PROGRAM FOR AFRICA Due to what it describes as Nigeria’s ‘leadership and vision’ in respect of various policy reforms to transform Nigeria’s Aviation sector, the African Development Bank has appointed Nigeria’s Aviation Minister, Festus Keyamo, as the African Champion to drive its program that has been developed to invest substantially in aviation in Africa. This is the Integrated Aviation Transformation Program for Africa (IATP) for which it has earmarked the sum of $7 billion (Seven Billion Dollars). In this respect, the bank has invited the Minister to its Annual Meeting holding in Brazzaville on the 28th of May, 2026, during which the formal signing of the LETTER OF INTENT (LOI) between the Bank and Nigeria will take place. The Integrated Aviation Transformation Programme for Africa is a continent-wide platform designed to modernize Africa's aviation ecosystem and mobilize private, institutional, and concessional capital. It seeks to revitalize the industry, as African airlines currently account for less than 3 percent of global air traffic despite housing nearly 18 percent of the global population. The Aviation Minister is now expected to bring his knowledge, commitment and passion to drive this program in the whole of Africa. The Bank expressed its deep gratitude to the Minister for his commitment to advancing Aviation in the whole of Africa. Tunde Moshood Special Adviser On Media and Communications to the Honourable Minister

SCAM ALERT!!! The Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC) hereby issues this disclaimer, alerting the public to the activities of fraudulent individuals posing as the Commission Chief Executive, Mrs. Oritsemeyiwa Eyesan, on various social media platforms. So far, 15 of such fake accounts have been identified by the Commission on X, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and TikTok. The matter has also been reported to the appropriate authorities. For the sake of clarity, the NUPRC states that Mrs. Eyesan has only one social media account which is a verified page on LinkedIn. The unscrupulous individuals impersonating the Commission Chief Executive with the intention of defrauding members of the public are hereby warned to desist immediately. Anyone who interacts with these fake accounts does so at his or her own risk. For inquiries or clarification on the NUPRC’s activities, visit the Commission’s official website nuprc.gov.ng

The Nigerians have been instrumental throughout the last several months developing the target, helping with the intelligence, and providing support. So it could not have been done by our own forces, we needed to do that in conjunction with them. AFRICOM CMDR, Dagvin Anderson.

Banks answerable to FCCPC, court rules * Dismisses UBA’s suit, fined N2m * It’s a big victory for bank customers, says Tunji Bello Advocacy for consumer rights in the banking sector recorded a major boost today with a judgement by a Federal High Court in Abuja dismissing, in its entirety, a suit by UBA Plc seeking to contest the jurisdiction of the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC).  In its ruling, presiding Justice James Omotosho affirmed the Commission’s statutory authority to investigate consumer complaints involving banks and other financial institutions. In the suit, FHC/ABJ/CS/1972/2025, United Bank of Africa Plc sought to determine whether in light of Section 251 (1) (d) of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as amended 2023) and Section 65(1)(a) of the Banks and Other Financial Institutions Act (BOFIA) 2020, the FCCPC could validly exercise jurisdiction over a commercial bank duly licensed by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and over any of its functions, acts, financial products, or financial services. In his judgement, Justice Omotosho considered Sections 251 (1) (d) of the Constitution and 65(1)(a) of BOFIA, which the plaintiff had relied upon to challenge the Commission’s jurisdiction, and upheld the authority of the FCCPC in competition and consumer protection matters in the financial sector. Consequently, UBA plc was fined N2m for “bringing a frivolous and unmeritorious case against the defendant”.  With respect to receiving and investigating Consumer complaints, the Court stressed that there is no other agency in Nigeria saddled with this responsibility except the FCCPC. “No portion of the Banks and Other Financial Institutions Act gives such powers to the Central Bank of Nigeria, nor does the Central Bank of Nigeria Act,” said Justice Omotosho.  “The FCCPC (Defendant) is therefore the proper agency to investigate such consumer complaints,” the judge held.  He therefore held that the FCCPC “is vested with statutory powers to inquire into Consumer Protection issues involving customers and banks.”  Justice Omotosho cited Sections 1, 2, 17(e) and 104 of the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Act, 2018 (FCCPA), relating to the objectives, scope, investigative powers and application of the Commission’s mandate in matters concerning competition and consumer protection. Section 104 of the FCCPC Act states that “Notwithstanding the provisions of any other law but subject to the provisions of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, in all matters relating to competition and consumer protection, the provisions of this Act shall override the provisions of any other law.”  In a swift reaction, the Executive Vice Chairman/CEO of FCCPC, Mr Tunji Bello, hailed the judgment, describing it as “a significant milestone in our advocacy for bank customers who have for long endured unfair treatment.” He said the judgment provides judicial guidance on the complementary relationship between sector regulation and the consumer protection framework established under the FCCPA. Mr. Bello stated that the decision reinforces confidence that consumers in every sector of the economy, including financial services, are entitled to accessible channels for complaint resolution and lawful redress. He noted that the judgment is also significant for businesses, as it clarifies that regulatory accountability and consumer confidence are mutually reinforcing pillars of a healthy market environment. According to him, the Commission will continue to engage financial institutions and other service providers professionally, fairly, and in accordance with due process, while encouraging internal complaint resolution mechanisms that address consumer concerns promptly.

Rainstorm Wreaks Havoc at Kugbo Terminal A rainstorm on Tuesday afternoon destroyed the yet-to-be-functioning Kugbo bus terminal. The heavy downpour, which started around 3:30 pm, blew away the terminal's roof across the Kugbo section of the Abuja-Keffi highway. The situation has currently caused heavy traffic on both sides of the dual carriageways. Scavengers, who defied the downpour, were on both sides of the road, carting away valuable parts of the destroyed roof and other accessories littering the road. The Kugbo bus terminal is one of the three newly built terminals inaugurated in June 2025.
