Tinubu Revokes Pardon Granted To Sanda, Drug Peddlers, Others; Release New Pardon List (See Full List)

 

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has signed the official instruments of release to grant pardon and clemency to selected individuals as part of the exercise of his constitutional power of prerogative of mercy.

The move followed consultations with the Council of State and public feedback on the initial list of beneficiaries. According to the Presidency, the list was reviewed to ensure that those convicted of serious crimes such as kidnapping, drug trafficking, human trafficking, fraud, and unlawful arms possession were removed from the clemency list, while others had their sentences commuted instead of being released.

Explaining the rationale behind the decision, the President said the review was necessary to maintain public confidence, protect victims’ rights, and uphold national security. The review, he noted, was guided by the three-way concept of justice—for the accused, the victim, and society.

The approved list of beneficiaries has been forwarded to the Nigerian Correctional Service for implementation in line with the signed instruments of release.

In a related development, President Tinubu has directed the relocation of the Secretariat of the Presidential Advisory Committee on Prerogative of Mercy from the Ministry of Special Duties to the Federal Ministry of Justice.

He also instructed the Attorney-General of the Federation to issue new guidelines for exercising presidential mercy, including mandatory consultation with relevant prosecuting agencies, to ensure future exercises are transparent and merit-based.

The President expressed appreciation for the constructive feedback received from Nigerians and reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to judicial reform and improving the administration of justice across the country.

STATEHOUSE PRESS RELEASE

PRESIDENT TINUBU SIGNS INSTRUMENT OF CLEMENCY AND PARDONS, MOVES SECRETARIAT OF PREROGATIVE OF MERCY COMMITTEE TO JUSTICE MINISTRY

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, has executed the relevant instruments of release to complete the process of formally exercising his constitutional power of prerogative of mercy to grant pardon and clemency to specific individuals who were earlier convicted for various offences.

Following consultations with the Council of State and public opinion on the matter, the President directed a further review of the initially approved list for consideration in furtherance of the President's discretionary powers under Section 175(1)(&(2) of the 1999 Constitution (as amended).

Consequently, certain persons convicted of serious crimes such as kidnapping, drug-related offences, human trafficking, fraud, unlawful possession of firearms/arms dealing, etc, were deleted from the list. Others who had been hitherto pardoned in the old list had their sentences commuted.

This action became necessary in view of the seriousness and security implications of some of the offences, the need to be sensitive to the feelings of the victims of the crimes and society in general, the need to boost the morale of law enforcement agencies and adherence to bilateral obligations. The concept of justice as a three-way traffic for the Accused, the Victim, and the State/Society also guided the review.

The approved list of eligible beneficiaries has been transmitted to the Nigerian Correctional Service for implementation in line with the duly signed instruments of release.

Furthermore, to ensure that future exercises meet public expectations and best practices, the President has directed the immediate relocation of the Secretariat of the Presidential Advisory Committee on Prerogative of Mercy from the Federal Ministry of Special Duties to the Federal Ministry of Justice.

President Tinubu also directed the Attorney-General of the Federation to issue appropriate Guidelines for the Exercise of the Power of Prerogative of Mercy, which includes compulsory consultation with relevant prosecuting agencies.

This will ensure that only persons who fully meet the stipulated legal and procedural requirements will henceforth benefit from the issuance of instruments of release.

The President appreciated the constructive feedback and engagement from stakeholders and the general public on this matter.

President Tinubu also reaffirmed his administration's broader commitment to judicial reforms and improving the administration of justice in Nigeria.

WAEC DISPELS RUMOURS OF SUBJECT RESTRICTION FOR 2026 WASSCE

Council Clarifies Role in Curriculum Implementation

The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has debunked reports circulating in the media alleging that it issued directives restricting Senior Secondary School students to specific subjects for the 2026 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) for School Candidates.

In a statement issued by the Acting Head of Public Affairs, Moyosola Adeshina (anipr), the Council described the claims as “unfounded and misleading”, stressing that WAEC did not issue any directive limiting subject choices for candidates.

BREAKING: LASTMA Begins 24-Hr Operations (Press Statement)

PRESS RELEASE.

LASG INAUGURATES 24-HOUR TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT OPERATIONS, RECLAIMS APAPA, COASTAIN, AND IJORA UNDER BRIDGE FROM ENVIRONMENTAL AND ILLEGAL OCCUPATION.

In a decisive affirmation of its unwavering commitment to urban order, public safety, and infrastructural renewal, the Lagos State Government has launched two transformative initiatives designed to recalibrate traffic governance and restore environmental sanctity across the metropolis.

In a visionary bid to guarantee seamless mobility and safe commuting at all hours, the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) has formally instituted a 24-hour operational framework for traffic management and enforcement across Lagos State.

The groundbreaking initiative, officially commissioned by the Special Adviser to the Governor on Transportation, Honourable Sola Giwa, constitutes a seminal moment in the evolution of Lagos’ transportation governance. 

It manifests Governor Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu’s strategic ambition to ensure the uninterrupted movement of people, goods, and services within Nigeria’s economic epicenter—a city that operates continuously, unhindered by congestion or disorder.

According to Hon. Giwa, the 24-hour operational regime epitomizes the administration’s steadfast dedication to constant vigilance, operational efficiency, and disciplined traffic regulation, especially as the metropolis approaches the festive period, traditionally characterized by heightened vehicular and commercial activity.

He elaborated that the framework is meticulously designed to facilitate continuous monitoring, rapid emergency response, and immediate clearance of traffic obstructions irrespective of time, thereby mitigating congestion and enhancing the commuter experience.

“This initiative exemplifies the Lagos State Government’s resolute commitment to safeguarding mobility, preserving lives, and sustaining economic productivity through perpetual traffic oversight,” Hon. Giwa stated.

A pivotal component of the initiative is the establishment of the Night Rapid Response Gang, a specialized unit within LASTMA charged with swiftly addressing nocturnal traffic incidents, including vehicular breakdowns, collisions, and other obstructions along critical arteries of the metropolis.

In tandem with these traffic management reforms, the Lagos State Government also executed a comprehensive clearance operation along Apapa Road, Coastain, and the Ijora Under Bridge, eliminating illegal structures, shanties, and unregulated trading that had long obstructed free vehicular flow and compromised public safety.

The far-reaching enforcement exercise, spearheaded by Hon. Sola Giwa in coordination with LASTMA, the Nigeria Police Force, Mobile Police (MOPOL), the Lagos State Task Force, and the Lagos State Environmental Sanitation Corps (LAGESC), culminated in the removal of unauthorized traders, makeshift structures, and multiple environmental infractions.

During the operation, enforcement teams uncovered an illegal diesel dumping site and impounded substantial quantities of expired plantain chips and cheese balls, stored under unsanitary conditions—a testament to the government’s prioritization of public health and environmental integrity.

The exercise followed persistent warnings and public sensitization campaigns urging illegal occupants under bridges to vacate. Teams also identified blocked drainage channels choked with metallic debris, contributing to perennial flooding and environmental degradation.

Furthermore, several commercial buses and tricycles operating unlawfully along the newly constructed Coastain Bridge and Apapa Road were impounded. Shanties adjacent to St. Catholic Church School, Apapa Road, were demolished, reinstating the area to its intended urban and educational purpose, while criminal hideouts beneath the Ijora Bridge were dismantled to enhance public security.

Hon. Giwa reaffirmed that the Sanwo-Olu administration will not compromise on public safety,

CBN Announces New Minimum Standards for ATM Deployment, Operations, Maintenance, and Security (Full Report)

The CBN says the directives in its communique titled *"Exposure of the Draft Guidelines on the Operations of Automated Teller Machines (ATMs) in Nigeria,"* supersedes previous ATM regulations.

​Here is a summary of the Major Requirements:

​1. ATM Deployment and Density

​Target: All card issuers must deploy at least 1 ATM per 5,000 payment cards issued. This must be fully achieved within three years (100% by 2028), starting with 30% in the first year (2026).

​Location: ATMs must be located in a way that guarantees safety and security of users and confidentiality of transactions. They should not be placed outside buildings unless bolted to the floor.

Approval: ATM deployment, redeployment, and decommissioning require prior written approval from the CBN.

IADs: Independent ATM Deployers (IADs) must obtain prior written approval from the CBN and satisfy licensing/registration requirements, including evidence of partnership with a bank for cash provisioning.

2. Failed Transactions and Refunds

On-us ATM Transactions (using a bank's own ATM): Reversal of a failed transaction must be instant. If instant reversal fails due to technical issues, the timeline for manual reversal shall not exceed 24 hours.

Not-on-us ATM Transactions (using another bank's ATM): The timeline for refunds shall not exceed 48 hours.

Automatic Refunds: Acquirers must adopt appropriate mechanisms to immediately initiate refunds for non-dispense errors without the prompting of the issuing bank or the customer.

3. Security and Technology

Security: All ATMs must have cameras that record all persons and activities (card insertion, cash withdrawal, etc.), but should not record customers' keystrokes. Networks used must be tested and proven for data confidentiality.

Anti-Skimming: ATMs shall be installed with anti-skimming devices to mitigate fraud.

PIN/Keys: ATM keys must be changed regularly (every year), and the same keys are not to be used for multiple ATMs. Customers can change their PIN free of charge.

Information: Helpdesk contacts, charges, and fees must be adequately displayed to customers.

Receipts: ATMs must issue receipts for all requested transactions, except for balance enquiry.

5. Compliance, Monitoring, and Reporting

Monitoring: The CBN will conduct periodic audits and onsite checks to ensure compliance with the guidelines and availability of cash and service.

Reporting: All institutions must render a monthly return to the CBN, including new deployments, no later than the 5th of the following month.

Penalties: Appropriate penalties shall be imposed on institutions that fail to comply

Key Objectives

The main goals of the guidelines are to:

Provide additional guidance on the operation of ATMs.

Guide ATM deployers on ATM density deployment requirements to improve access.

Provide clarity on the security requirements for ATMs.

Strengthen security protocols and enhance consumer protection.

These programs, which were designed after extensive consultations with industry stakeholders, experts, and educational authorities, reflect the increasing demand for specialized knowledge in technology, sustainability, healthcare, and entrepreneurship.

Boosting Employability and Innovation

The NUC’s Executive Secretary, Professor Abubakar Rasheed, emphasized that the new programs aim to bolster the employability of Nigerian graduates by equipping them with practical skills aligned with industry needs. He noted that many of the programs have been tailored to address critical sectors such as technology, environmental sustainability, and public health, areas which are crucial to Nigeria’s economic growth and development.

"By introducing these programs, we are responding to the growing demand for highly specialized knowledge in emerging industries. This will not only prepare our students for global job markets but also position Nigerian universities as leaders in innovation and research," Professor Rasheed said.

"This is a revolutionary step for us. The world is shifting towards automation and AI-driven systems. By launching this program, we are preparing our students to be at the forefront of technological advancements," she remarked.

Students, especially those from fields related to technology, health, and business, have also shown strong support for the new programs. Many expressed excitement about the expanded options that will allow them to choose more specialized and future-focused courses.

A Strategic Move for National Development

The introduction of these programs comes at a time when the Nigerian government is prioritizing diversification in higher education to support national development. With the country’s educational landscape shifting to meet global standards, the NUC’s approval of the new programs underscores its commitment to building a future-ready workforce.

The NUC’s move is part of a larger strategy to overhaul Nigerian universities and make them competitive globally, particularly in fields related to technology, engineering, and healthcare. It also signals a commitment to bridging the gap between academia and industry by providing students with the skills that are in demand across various sectors.

Looking Ahead

Experts predict that the new programs will not only enhance the quality of education in Nigerian universities but also attract international students, researchers, and collaborations, further elevating the country’s academic reputation. With these programs now approved, the NUC has called on universities to begin preparations for their implementation, with the first intakes expected in the coming academic year.

In a statement of reassurance, the Commission also affirmed its commitment to providing support and guidelines to universities for the smooth launch of the programs, ensuring that they meet the highest standards.
