The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), led by President Joe Ajaero, has urged President Bola Tinubu and other political figures to use the holiday season to enact “creative measures” meant to lessen the current “humongous suffering” of Nigerians. The message was titled “AT CHRISTMAS: MAY OUR HOPE BE IN CHRIST.” “Nigerians expect from government actions with solid results, not handouts,” the statement reads, emphasizing the need for real, measurable initiatives with results. Ajaero exhorts leaders to take actions that will have a long-lasting effect rather than just token gestures. Ajaero urges Nigerians to “transcend our differences” and find inspiration in the teachings of Jesus Christ in order to promote togetherness during this festive season. Declaring, “Nations are built when the people decide to stand together and work in unity and in love,” he emphasizes the significance of self-love and togetherness as essential for constructing a stronger nation. Additionally, “unpatriotic elements” who have “hijacked our levers of governance” and disregarded the needs of the populace are criticized in the speech. In order to create a “new nation” free from injustice and underdevelopment, Ajaero exhorts Nigerians to band together. The NLC sends a message to government leaders, imploring them to let the spirit of Christmas influence their policies and activities, all the while bringing hope to people who are suffering. Ajaero draws inspiration from Jesus’ example of selfless service to emphasize the need of selfless service. The NLC advocated for innovative ways to alleviate the hardship that people are currently experiencing rather than placing “heavy burdens” on them. The message said, “The people are asking for the creation of effective platforms to enable them to unleash their robust energies for wealth creation.” “As the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) extends its warmest wishes for a Merry Christmas full of love, joy, and the coziness of family and friends, we implore you to keep in mind that there is hope in our collective action. Therefore, let us strive, by all means necessary, to come together and reach out across the divides—North, South, East, and West! It’s our country! We can construct it! “The Nigeria Labour Congress sends warm wishes and greetings to everyone on this wonderful Christmas celebration, especially our Christian brothers and sisters. “We find comfort and strength in the enduring spirit of hope, love, and the teachings of Jesus Christ in a year filled with difficulties and uncertainties. It is critical that we maintain the hope that, by banding together, we will overcome all of our obstacles, no matter how great they may be. I pray the Christmas spirit fills you with tranquility and gives you new hope for the next year.
Millions of naira worth of goods were destroyed when a large fire broke out on Saturday at the Council Bus Stop along Egbeda-Ikotun Road in the Alimosho Local Government Area of Lagos State. A gas cylinder leak in one of the stores started the fire, which quickly spread to many other stores in a tremendous explosion. Traders and consumers rushed to get away from the scene. The sad occurrence did not result in any casualties, as revealed by Dr. Femi Oke-Osanyintolu, the Permanent Secretary of Lagos State Emergency Management Authority (LASEMA), and Margaret Adeseye, the Director of Lagos State Fire and Rescue Service. Eyewitnesses and market vendors, such as Ms. Shadia Kareem, claim that the event happened at 2:15 pm and resulted in a fire that spread to several stores. At first, there was confusion because of the loud explosion, which made people think that a bomb had gone off. Later on, though, it was discovered to be a gas explosion. Prior to the arrival of firefighters from the Ejigbo and Isolo Fire Stations of the Lagos State Fire and Rescue Service, along with LASEMA and the Nigerian Police Force from the Ikotun Division, quick action by first responders prevented casualties and stopped the fire’s spread. The fire was effectively brought under control and put out by 3:30 pm. Margaret Adeseye determined that the fire was caused by a dealer’s carelessness in refilling a gas cylinder.

Nigeria has backed the Final Act WRC-23 together with the rest of the world following the World Radiocommunications Conference (WRC) in 2023. This paper contains both new and updated Radio Regulations rules and acts as a record of the decisions reached during the meeting. An international treaty known as the Radio Regulations controls how satellite orbits and the radio frequency spectrum are used. The goal of this group effort is to increase and strengthen global connectivity. Each conference concluded with nations signing an updated Final Act, which was the result of agreements reached on agendas proposed by national administrations. In line with an ITU statement, “new spectrum resources are identified by the agreement to the updated Radio Regulations to support technological innovation, deepen global connectivity, increase access to and equitable use of space-based radio resources, and improve safety at sea, in the air, and on land.” Among the choices made at the conference was the allocation of spectrum for International Mobile Telecommunications (IMT), which is essential for the development of IMT mobile services, commonly referred to as 4G, 5G, and, eventually, 6G, as well as the expansion of broadband connections. New frequencies for non-geostationary fixed-satellite service Earth Stations in Motion (ESIMs) were also determined during the conference. These ESIMs would enable high-speed broadband to be available on board automobiles, trains, and aircraft. Following calamities that cause damage or destruction to local communication infrastructure, these satellite services become even more crucial. Additionally, measures to prevent other stations within national borders from accessing ship and aircraft mobile service stations situated in international waterways and airspace were incorporated. In addition to telecom operators and other industry professionals, Nigeria’s delegation to the conference included seasoned engineers and experts in satellite regulations and governance from the Ministry, NCC, National Broadcasting Commission (NBC), NigComSat Ltd, National Space Research and Development Agency (NASRDA), Nigeria Airspace Management Agency (NAMA), and telecom operators. Leading the Nigerian delegation at the WRC-23, Tijani, in the meantime, expressed gratitude to the delegation for their sacrifices, pointing out that they were made for the benefit of Nigeria’s future as a whole. In order to guarantee the protection of the nation’s interests, he also urged the Nigerian delegation to start preparing for upcoming conferences by building capacity through investments in in-depth research and interagency cooperation. In addition, Maida complimented the Nigerian delegation for working together for Nigeria’s best interests during a meeting with them at the conference. He emphasized how crucial the conference is to Nigeria. He said, “By improving service quality and closing the digital divide in rural areas, the agreements reached at this year’s conference will provide valuable spectrum resources that will benefit the Commission’s stakeholders, especially ordinary Nigerians.” Furthermore, the decisions reached at the conference and the creation of global standards for radiocommunications will have an effect on the advancement and application of new technologies. These results are in line with Nigeria’s overarching goals and the Honorable Minister’s Strategic Plan for the Ministry, especially with regard to increasing broadband connectivity and improving experience quality while ensuring equitable access for all Nigerians in line with the world’s shift to 5G and future 6G technologies.
Nigerian Student Found Guilty of Threatening Terrorism Against Scottish University to Be Deported by UK Government Somtochukwu Okwuoha, a 26-year-old Nigerian master’s student, has threatened to blow up explosives at Dundee University in Scotland. The UK government intends to expel him. Politics Nigeria has reported that Okwuoha was given a 40-month prison sentence last Friday by the Perth Sheriff Court in the United Kingdom. Deportation was one of the penalties Okwuoha faced after being found guilty of threatening to carry out acts of terrorism against the faculty, staff, and students at the university. The foreign student claimed to have experience in the military and to be able to make explosives and release a deadly virus around the city. Witnesses said that Okwuoha told university personnel he intended to “target the city in a chemical attack” and that he “enlisted the terror group ISIS to help bomb the university”. “Your presence in the United Kingdom is not conducive to the public good, and I make a recommendation for your deportation in due course,” Sheriff William Wood said to the prisoner. Okwuoha was told by the Sheriff, “You were abusive towards her and tried to have her removed from her university course,” after he allegedly threatened a fellow female student for rejecting his advances. “The university decided to suspend you from your course, and you turned your attention towards staff,” he continued.
