A practicing lawyer, Charles Gabriel has dragged the Federal Ministry of Housing and Urban Development before an Abuja High Court over attempt by its agency, Federal Housing Authority, to alter and re-design parts of Lugbe Estate, Abuja, against the original plan shewing layout survey. The lawyer, who is demanding the sum of N500 million as general damages and N5 million as cost of the litigation, asked the court to declare such act being attempted as illegal, wrongful, ultra vires, null and void and of no effect on him. A suite filed on behalf of him by his Counsel, Barrister U. I. Ubeuwou, joined the Attorney General of the Federation as first defender while the minister of Housing and Urban Development, Federal Ministry of Housing and Urban Development and Federal Housing Authority are second, third and fourth defenders respectively. The lawyer wanted the court to declare that the acts and conducts of the Federal Housing Authority and by extension, the 1st, 2nd and 3rd defendants in altering and redesigning the front of shops 1 and 3 1H. Road, Lugbe Estate, Abuja, measuring 385 square metres against the original plan shewing layout survey “is illegal, wrongful, ultra vires, null and void and of no effect on him.” He averred that such acts are aimed at blocking and denying him direct access to the road and denied him the right of appurtenances, easement, ingress and egress, and that the court should direct the defendants to pay jointly or severally, general damages in the sum of N500 million in addition to N5 million as cost of litigation. The aggrieved lawyer averred that he bought the shops from one Hajiya Hauwa Abacha on the 16th March 2004 and both of them executed a Deed of Assignment, saying that sometimes in September, 2019, some unidentified staff of the Federal Housing Authority came to the front of the shops which was not originally designed for shops or plots for allocation and started measuring some portions with a view to illegally re-design the said portions and allocate same to themselves, allies and cronies. “The Claimant (Charles Gabriel) immediately, through one David A. Audu, caused a letter dated 26th September 2019, to be written to the Honourable Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja. The said letter was copied to the Managing Director and Chief Executive of the 4th Defendant. Evidence of endorsement copies of the said letters dated 26th September, 2019 and titled “A LETTER OF COMPLAINT OVER A VERY WEIGHTY SPECULATION IN RESPECT OF A CALCULATED ATTEMPT BY SOME YET TO BE PROPERLY IDENTIFIED STAFF OF THE FEDERAL HOUSING AUTHORITY ABUJA” is hereby attached as “Annexure C & D” respectively and shall be relied upon at the trial of this suit. “The Claimant avers that, following the letter of 26th September, 2019, the 4th Defendant verbally denied and de-associated itself from the yet to be identified staff of the 4th Defendant and eventually stopped the illegality intended to be perpetrated by them. “The Claimant avers that sometimes in August, 2002, the same yet to be identified staff of Federal Housing Authority came to the front of the shops and started measuring some portions of land in contravention of the original plan with a view to illegally alter, re-design and allocate same to themselves, cronies and allies as Shops or Plots. The Claimant again instructed David A. Audu to write a letter of complaint dated 18th August, 2020 and tilled “RE: A LETTER OF COMPLAINT OVER A VERY WEIGHTY SPECULATION IN RESPECT OF A CALCULATED ATTEMPT BY SOME YET TO BE PROPERLY IDENTIFIED STAFF OF THE FEDERAL HOUSING AUTHORITY ABUJA” to the Honourable Minister of Federal Capital Territory Abuja. The said letter was copied to the Managing Director and Chief Executive of the 4th Defendant. “That after the said letter of 18th August, 2020, the 4th defendant verbally denied and de-associated itself from the yet to be identified staff of the 4th Defendant. The 4th Defendant eventually stopped the illegality intended to be perpetrated by them. “The Claimant avers that to further perpetrate their illegality, in June, 2021 some unidentified staff of the 4th Defendant came to the front of the shops which was not originally designed for shops or plots for allocation and started measuring some portions of the land in contravention of the Original Plan with a view to illegally alter, re-design and allocate to themselves, cronies and allies as shops or plots. The Claimant again instructed David A. Audu to write a letter of Complaint to the Honourable Minister of Federal Capital Territory which was copied to the Managing Director/Chief Executive of 4th Defendant dated 30th June, 2021 and titled “RE SECOND REMINDER A LETTER OF COMPLAINT OVER A VERY WEIGHTY SPECULATION IN RESPECT OF A CALCULATED ATTEMPT BY SOME YET TO BE PROPERLY IDENTIFIED STAFF OF THE FEDERAL HOUSING AUTHORITY ABUJA.” “The Claimant avers that sometimes in September, 2023, the unidentified staff of the 4th Defendant again came to the front of the shops which was not originally designed for shops or plots for allocation and started measuring some portions of the land in brazen contradiction or contravention of the Original Plan with a view to illegally alter, re-design and allocate same to themselves, cronies and allies. The Claimant again instructed David A. Audu to write a letter of complaint to the Honourable Minister, Ministry of Housing and Urban Development and the Honourable Minister of Federal Capital Territory, Abuja which were all copied to the Managing Director/Chief Executive of the 4th Defendant dated 28th September, 2023 and titled “A LETTER OF COMPLAINT OVER A VERY WEIGHTY SPECULATION IN RESPECT OF A CALCULATED ATTEMPT BY SOME YET TO BE PROPERLY IDENTIFIED STAFF OF THE FEDERAL HOUSING, AUTHORITY ABUJA.” Lawyer Charles Gabriel said that despite another letter of 10th July, 2025, the Federal Housing Authority and by extension, the 1st, 2nd and 3rd refendants still proceeded to illegally alter and re-design the front of the shops and are about to issue allocation papers to themselves, allies and cronies in brazen contradiction of the original plan shewing layout survey thereby depriving him his right of easement to the shops. He argued that the purported alteration and re-designation of the front of the shops will cause total blockage and denial of his right to access the road to the shops as well as devalue the shops if allowed. He said that the Federal Housing Authority has already concluded plans to upon the issuance of allocation papers direct the allotees to quickly proceed to develop the illegally altered and redesigned front of the shops, saying that his right of entry and exit to the shops would be hindered by the illegal alteration, re-designation and allocation of the front of the shops. “The Claimant avers that, faced with agonizing choice on what to do, he approached the law firm of U. I. Obeuwou & Co; to institute a legal action on his behalf and that U. I. Obeuwou & Co; gave him a bill of N5, 000, 000. 00 (Five Million Naira) only as cost of litigation. Evidence of copy of the said cost of litigation is hereby attached as “Annexure Q” and shall be relied upon at the trial of this suit. 31. That the Honourable court is most humbly urged to intervene and restrain the 4th Defendant and by extension, the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Defendants from illegally altering and re-designing the front of the shops with a view to allocating same to themselves, cronies and allies. “The Claimant avers that he has passed through excruciating pains as a result of the acts and conducts of the 4th Defendant and by extension, the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Defendants. The lawyer therefore sought court declaration that the acts and conducts of the 4th Defendant and by extension, the 1st, 2nd and 3rd defendants in attempting to alter and re-design the front of Shops 1 and 3 1H. Road, Lugbe Estate, Abuja Measuring 385. 00 Square Metres against the original Plan Shewing Layout Survey is illegal, wrongful, ultra vires, null and void and of no effect on the Claimant.
“Always resist the urge to start with too many characters; even a plant begins as a shoot before developing its peculiar branches.” This insightful observation, seemingly simple, offers a profound metaphor for the craft of creative writing.
Like a burgeoning plant, a compelling narrative doesn’t burst forth fully formed with an intricate network of characters and complex subplots. Instead, it commences as a singular, vital shoot—an idea, a core conflict, or a compelling voice—that gradually and organically expands into the rich, multifaceted world we, as readers, come to inhabit. The initial “shoot” in creative writing represents the foundational element of a story. This could be a single character with a clear desire, a specific setting that sparks imagination, or a central premise that demands exploration. Rushing to introduce a multitude of characters, elaborate backstories, or convoluted plotlines at the outset can overwhelm both the writer and the reader. It’s akin to planting a sapling with too many branches already attached; the roots haven’t had time to establish, and the structure lacks inherent strength. A strong beginning, therefore, often focuses on establishing one or two key elements, allowing them to take root in the reader’s mind. As the narrative progresses, the “shoot” begins to develop its “peculiar branches.” These branches are the secondary characters, the subplots, the thematic explorations, and the intricate details that enrich the story. Just as a plant’s branches grow in unique patterns, shaped by its environment and genetic code, a story’s elements should emerge naturally from its core. A new character might be introduced because their presence is necessary to challenge the protagonist or reveal a new facet of the central conflict. A subplot might sprout to deepen the thematic resonance or provide a moment of respite before a major turning point. This organic development ensures that every element serves a purpose, contributing to the overall strength and coherence of the narrative. Moreover, the metaphor extends to the concept of revision and growth. A gardener doesn’t simply plant a seed and leave it; they nurture it, prune it, and guide its growth. Similarly, a writer’s first draft is rarely the final product. It’s the initial shoot, often raw and unrefined. Through subsequent revisions, the writer prunes away unnecessary elements, strengthens weak connections, and encourages the healthy development of the story’s branches. This iterative process allows the narrative to mature, its complexities to deepen, and its peculiar beauty to fully emerge. In essence, the wisdom of starting small is about embracing the power of organic growth. It’s about trusting the narrative to reveal itself, character by character, plot point by plot point, rather than forcing a predetermined, overstuffed structure. By allowing the story to develop its branches naturally from a strong, central shoot, writers can cultivate narratives that are not only intricate and engaging but also deeply rooted and enduring.

Yobe state Governor, Dr. Mai Mala Buni has said that the improvement in security in the state has made farmers to have free access to their farmlands for agricultural production, attributing it to proactive measures by the government of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. The Governor, who spoke today, July 30, at the launching of the 2025 Yobe state Agricultural Empowerment Programme in Damaturu, said that over 90 per cent of the state’s population are engaged in crop production, livestock farming or both. “This becomes necessary for the government to be more committed to developing the sector for our people to migrate from subsistence farming to mechanized agriculture.” “Let me seize this opportunity to once again appreciate His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR, for piloting the affairs of our great country at this very challenging moment. “The commitment of your administration to security is no doubt yielding the desired result with our communities having access to their farmlands for increased agricultural productivity.” The Governor commended the security forces for their resilience and sacrifices to restore peace and security in the state. Governor Buni said that the security has generally improved, and provided his government with the opportunity to rebuild the destructions caused by the security challenge. “I am proud to state with a very high sense of responsibility that our administration has over the years accorded great attention to all the critical sectors including agriculture, education, Healthcare delivery, road construction, water supply, wealth Creation and employment generation to improve the lives of our people. “This administration has carefully and systematically embarked on an all-inclusive multi-sectorial approach to make our recovery programme successful and beneficial to our people across the 17 local government areas. “It is gratifying that this administration has prudently and judiciously managed the state resources to address the destructions caused by the protracted security challenge and other decays caused by aging, especially on structures predating the creation of the state, and it is still, a work in progress.” Governor Buni said that his administration took a bold and deliberate step to address the infrastructural challenges facing Damaturu 34 years after becoming a state capital. “This is to find solutions to the challenges of its growing size, increase in population, increase in the density of traffic flow, controlling the floods, and to curb the incessant menace of traffic accidents at the city center. “We are committed to addressing these challenges to give Damaturu a befitting face-lift that is in tune with modernity, to make us all proud.” Governor Buni recalled the gains made in the health sector “the Damaturu Specialist Hospital gained approval from the West African College of Surgeons for training of junior and senior resident Doctors in Obstetrics and Gynecology. “Similarly, a few months ago, the Department of Community Medicine of the State University Teaching Hospital also gained approval from the West African College of Physicians for training of junior and senior resident doctors. This is in addition to the earlier approval obtained for training in radiology. This means Doctors can be trained up to the level of Consultants at the Yobe State University Teaching Hospital, and the Specialist Hospital, Damaturu. “These achievements are indeed, products of careful and strategic planning, dedication and investment of resources in the hospitals to qualify for accreditation. This would no doubt add value to our manpower training and development to improve Healthcare delivery in the state. “In the education sector, government remained committed to structural development and improvement in the quality content in the schools. The performances of our students both at home and abroad have been unprecedented, justifying our investment in the sector. Education in Yobe state is one of the most subsidized in the country, and yet, it is still a work in progress.” The Governor charged the people to continue supporting the government policies and programmes “for us to collectively achieve the task of moving our dear state forward. We must not allow any element to stand on our path to development and progress.”
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has commended Yobe State government for massively investing in agriculture to guarantee food sufficiency and security in the state. Speaking today, July 30, at the launching of the state’s Agricultural Empowerment Programme in Damaturu, Tinubu said that the Yobe state agricultural empowerment programme is in tune with the renewed Hope Agenda of the Federal government. The President, who was represented by the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Political and Other Matters, Alhaji Ibrahim Kabiru Masari, gave assurance of the federal government’s partnership to improve agricultural productivity in the state.

The Group Chief Executive Officer (GCEO) of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL), Bayo Ojulari has pleaded with the Senate for more time to properly investigate the issues surrounding the financial discrepancies amounting to ₦210 trillion. Appearing before the Senate Committee on Public Accounts yesterday, July 29, Ojulari requested additional time to study and reconcile the issues flagged in NNPCL’s audited financial statements between 2017 and 2023. “I have been in office for barely 100 days and I need time to fully understand the issues. “Given the explanation I have heard today, my perspective has changed. I need to carry out further internal review and reconciliation to provide the answers the committee requires.” The NNPCL Boss assured lawmakers that he would assemble a dedicated team to work on the Senate’s queries. The committee had raised concerns over ₦103 trillion in liabilities and ₦107 trillion in assets, describing both figures as troubling and largely unverifiable. Chairman of the Committee, Senator Aliyu Wadada, said that the figures were unacceptable without clear substantiation. “The amount is mind-boggling. The liability figure cannot be substantiated and is therefore not acceptable to this committee. Even the receivables making up the asset component cannot be verified.” He said that the ₦210 trillion in question was extracted directly from NNPCL’s audited accounts and demanded that the company should provide concrete explanations for its liabilities and assets. Some senators criticised the company’s approach, suggesting that NNPCL had shown disregard for the committee’s oversight. They questioned why the GCEO was unfamiliar with critical financial details despite having previously sent representatives to attend earlier hearings. Following Ojulari’s appeal, the committee resolved to grant NNPCL 21 days to return with a comprehensive and reconciled response to address the discrepancies. The development showcased growing scrutiny over financial transparency and accountability in Nigeria’s state-owned oil company, which underwent a transition to a limited liability company in 2022.
Morocco has filed a petition to CAF protesting the inclusion of two players in the final of the WAFCON, which Nigeria’s Super Falcons won 3-2 on July 26. It would be recalled that Morocco, which hosted the tournament, were two goals up, going into the half time break , but a second half rally by the Nigerian team helped them to a 3-2 win, and also the title for the tenth time in their history. Before the game, there was a protest lodged by Morocco on the eligibility of two of the Nigerian players: Ashleigh Plumptre and Michelle Alozie. Both players were born outside Nigeria but made the decision to play for Nigeria at senior level. In their protest, Morocco said the manner of their switch of nationality is faulty, citing some irregularities in their claims to be Nigerians. They wanted Nigeria to lose the title by virtue of fielding both players in the tournament. Plumptre was granted approval by FIFA to play for Nigeria in 2021 after it was established that her paternal grandfather is a Nigerian. Alozie’s case is more straightforward as she was born in the USA to immigrant parents from Nigeria. Nigerians are however not losing sleep over the protest as a top member of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) termed it as dead on arrival.
Nigeria is now facing a total healthcare shutdown as the nurses and midwives embarked on a nationwide strike, beginning today, July 30, even as Nigerian Medical Association (NMA) issued a 21-day notice of total and indefinite strike over the alleged failure of the federal government to address their long-standing demands. The Nurses and midwives, under the umbrella of the National Association of Nigeria Nurses and Midwives–Federal Health Institutions Sector, vowed to continue the strike from today until their demands are met by the government. Some of such demands include the upward review of shift allowance, uniform allowance adjustment, a separate salary structure for nurses, increased core duty allowance, mass employment of nurses, and the establishment of a nursing department in the Federal Ministry of Health, among others. The National Chairman of NANNM-FHI, Morakinyo Rilwan, who spoke about the strike said that the government had 15 days to respond to their demands but failed to act. The union, on July 14, 2025, issued a 15-day ultimatum to the Federal Government, demanding immediate intervention to prevent a total healthcare shutdown. Rilwan said: “As far as we are concerned, there has been no communication from the government to this moment. That is why we are saying the strike is going on, and nothing is stopping it. “Even if the government calls today or tomorrow, it won’t stop the strike. They had enough time. “Fifteen days is enough for them to call us for negotiations. It is because they are not sensitive to the welfare of the masses. That’s why they allowed 15 good days to elapse.” Rilwan noted that the strike was initiated by members who had grown tired of poor working conditions. “For over 40 years, we have been patient with them. They subjected us to no provision of gloves or equipment, and for the past 40 years, nurses have not embarked on any strike. “And we gave them 15 days’ notice. Maybe they are looking at it that these people have not gone on strike for a very long time, so they are not going to go on strike. But they are wrong.” He said that members are prepared to face any consequences, including “no work, no pay.” “This strike is not initiated by the leadership of the union; it was initiated by the members, and they said this is what they want. So, we don’t have any option but to allow them to exercise their rights, because they are tired. “They are not even contemplating ‘no work, no pay,’ because that is the only language the government can use, and they are ready because the money they are taking is not even enough for them. They are ready to sacrifice that as long as this strike continues.” He said that after the seven-day warning strike, if no reasonable agreement is reached, they would give another 21-day ultimatum to the government, according to labour law, before proceeding on an indefinite strike. “If the 21 days elapse and there is no reasonable response from the government, we would embark on a total and indefinite strike. “Nobody is pulling out. Federal Medical Centre, Ebute-Metta and Lagos University Teaching Hospital, Lagos, have not been part of our association because of some issues. “They have opted out of the association for the past three years, so they are not legally covered to participate in this strike because they are not legitimate financial members of the association. “Other hospitals in Lagos and other states, including the Federal Capital Territory, are joining the strike.” On its part, the Nigerian Medical Association had issued a communiqué at the end of its Emergency Delegates Meeting on July 26, 2025, expressed deep disappointment over the protracted negotiations with the government on issues affecting doctors’ welfare across the country. The communiqué, signed by NMA President, Professo Bala Audu and Secretary General, Dr. Jamin Egbo, cited several unresolved issues, including the suspension—rather than withdrawal—of a recent circular by the National Salaries, Income and Wages Commission (NSIWC), which the association had opposed. The emergency meeting, convened by the National Officers Committee (NOC) of the association in response to the NSIWC circular on the review of the Consolidated Medical Salary Structure (CONMESS) for doctors, as well as the federal government’s failure to: Pay seven months of accrued 25/35% CONMESS adjustment arrears, Honor previously signed Collective Bargaining Agreements (CBAs), Adequately prioritize the health sector at all levels of governance. The communiqué reads in part: “The meeting, after extensive deliberations, unanimously condemned the federal government’s approach to the welfare of its members and the persistent neglect of issues affecting Nigerian doctors. “The meeting issued a 21-day notice of total and indefinite strike, effective from July 27, 2025, in line with relevant labour laws, should the government fail to comprehensively address the association’s demands within this period.” The association expressed optimism that the government would act responsibly to avert a nationwide industrial action, stressing however, the risk such neglect poses to the already fragile health system. It advised the government to consider the health needs of citizens and the wellbeing of medical professionals. The NMA commended the efforts of its National Officers Committee and the National Technical Negotiating Team (NTNT) in their continued engagement with government agencies. However, it lamented that none of its 19 listed demands had been fully met. The meeting also expressed concern over: Inadequate implementation of the Memorandum of Understanding signed with government representatives, Rising economic hardship affecting both doctors and citizens, The continued neglect of the health sector, which contributes to brain drain and poor national health indices, The increasing trend of medical tourism by government officials, which it said undermines confidence in Nigeria’s healthcare system. The NMA appreciated delegates from the 36 states and the FCT who participated in the meeting and called on all Nigerian doctors to remain united and committed to the association’s shared vision. The communiqué concluded with a call for immediate government intervention to prevent avoidable disruption in the country’s health services.
