UN Urges Nigeria to Strengthen Protection of Freedom of Religion

The United Nations United Nations in Nigeria has called for stronger protection of Freedom of Religion or Belief (FoRB) in Nigeria, emphasizing that the right belongs to everyone, including members of all faiths and those with no religious affiliation.

Speaking after a fact-finding mission across Kano, Jos, and Abuja, UN Special Rapporteur Prof. Nazila Ghanea expressed concern over insecurity, discrimination, and violence affecting communities, schools, and places of worship.

She also cautioned against requiring individuals to declare their religion in official processes, stressing the need to uphold fundamental human rights and freedoms.

The Special Rapporteur’s final report, containing recommendations for Nigeria, will be presented to the UN Human Rights Council in March 2027.

Senate President Godswill Akpabio says the Tinubu administration never promised Nigerians instant miracles but a programme of “structural, calculated and deliberate progress” under its Renewed Hope Agenda.

Representing President Bola Ahmed Tinubu at the inauguration of a seven-kilometre access road bypassing the second runway of Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Akpabio said the government’s focus is on delivering infrastructure that improves livelihoods, connects communities and stimulates economic growth.

He added that the Renewed Hope Agenda is aimed at addressing the everyday challenges faced by Nigerians, stressing that the administration’s success should be measured by tangible development rather than expectations of overnight transformation.

The Federal Government has disbursed more than N13 billion in interest-free loans to 7,450 academic and non-academic staff across 153 public tertiary institutions under the Tertiary Institutions Staff Support Fund (TISSF).

The scheme, administered by the Bank of Industry through the Ministry of Education, allows eligible workers to access loans of up to N10 million for housing, healthcare, transportation, research and small businesses, with repayment spread over five years after a one-year grace period.

Education Minister Tunji Alausa said the initiative supports President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda and is aimed at improving staff welfare and productivity. The ministry also disclosed that applications for the next phase of the programme will open at the end of June 2026.

Journalists may soon join Nigerian troops on the frontlines under a new federal government initiative aimed at boosting transparency and improving security reporting.

“More than ever before, the media are not only enablers, they are stabilizers of government.

“The defence ministry is exploring arrangements to embed journalists with military units during operations to enable more accurate reporting and deeper understanding of operational realities,” Defence Minister retired Gen. Christopher Musa announced the plan on Thursday at the NUJ National Security Summit in Abuja.

The Federal High Court in Abuja has sentenced Safiya Salihu and Halima Abdullahi, the mother and sister of slain bandit kingpin Ibrahim Battujo, to 20 years imprisonment each for terrorism-related offences.

Justice Hauwa Joseph Yilwa convicted the duo after they pleaded guilty to charges bordering on aiding terrorist activities, concealing information and withholding intelligence about the activities of the notorious bandit leader.

The court heard that both women maintained communication with Battujo and failed to disclose critical information about his operations, while Halima also admitted concealing knowledge of fi****ms in his possession.

Although the court imposed 20 years on each count, the sentences will run concurrently, meaning both convicts will serve 20 years each. The judge also ordered that they undergo rehabilitation after completing their prison terms.
