Zenith Bank Plc, Nigeria’s biggest bank by Tier-1 Capital, has assured shareholders and investors of its readiness to satisfy all relevant conditions to exit the Central Bank of Nigeria’s (CBN) regulatory forbearance by June 30, 2025.

The Federal High Court in Abuja has fixed June 4 for the arraignment of Halima Buba, Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of SunTrust Bank Ltd, over alleged money laundering to the tune of 12 million U.S dollars.

The arraignment of Halima Buba, the Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of SunTrust Bank Ltd, and Innocent Mbagwu, the bank’s Executive Director/Chief Compliance Officer over alleged $12 million fraud could not proceed on Tuesday, May 27, 2025 due to the absence of the two defendants in court.

It was just a harmless one-liner, but it became the most memorable part of that historic speech. “Subsidy is gone and gone for good.” That was President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, on his inauguration at the iconic Eagle Square, Abuja on May 29, 2023.

Protests continue to greet the outcome of the primary elections organised to pick the Chairmanship and Councillorship candidates of the Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the forthcoming local council elections in the state.

When the list of the Chairmanship candidates of the Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the coming council elections in the state, one name conspicuously stood out.

It is both laughable and disturbing that in a desperate bid to whitewash the disgraceful outcome of the just concluded APC Local Government primaries in Agege and Orile-Agege, a cabal of entrenched loyalists—whose loyalty lies not with the people but with a single political overlord—has issued a communiqué full of distortions, half-truths, and outright falsehoods.

In a warm, love-soaked celebration that melted hearts and turned heads, former Ogun State Governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, stepped into the spotlight not for politics, but for love as he showered his wife, Chief Mrs. Olufunso Amosun, with affection and admiration on her 59th birthday.

Tensions that appear to have been on the rise at the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA) have reached a boiling point as aggrieved staff escalate frustrations over long-lasting grievances, rooted in what employees describe as neglect, broken welfare promises, and an air of impunity among top officials.

Yes, Igho Sanomi at 50 exceeds a headline; it is a hymn. A ballad of enterprise without arrogance. Of power without pride. Of faith without fanaticism.
