general elections.\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In a unanimous judgment, the appellate court voided and set aside the May 20 judgment of the Federal High Court in Abuja, which nullified the guidelines and barred their implementation.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In the lead judgment prepared by Justice Adebukola Banjoko but read by Justice Okon Abang, the Court of Appeal held that the Youth Party (YP), which instituted the case against INEC, lacked legal power (locus standi) to do what it did.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Justice Banjoko said that the party did not explain how the guidelines affected it and its members in the conduct of its primary elections for the nomination of candidates for the 2027 polls.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The court also held that the YP failed to establish how the guidelines affected the submission of its nominated candidates to INEC.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The three justices unanimously agreed that Justice Mohammed Umar of the Federal High Court, Abuja, who on May 20 nullified the guidelines on the ground that it violated some provisions of the Electoral Act, did so in gross errors and led to a miscarriage of justice.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>INEC, which filed an appeal against the high court’s decision, had argued that the lower court erred in law when it failed to pronounce on the jurisdictional issue of the suit being hypothetical and academic, and a denial of fair hearing to the appellant.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>INEC, through its lead counsel, Dr Alex Izinyon, had asked the Court of Appeal to set aside the judgment of the Federal High Court which nullified part of the election guidelines put in place by the agency for the conduct of the 2027 general election.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The Federal High Court in Abuja had invalidated the timeline issued by INEC for the conduct of primaries and the nomination of candidates, ahead of the 2027 general election.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In a judgment delivered by Justice Mohammed Umar, it also set aside INEC’s May 10 deadline requiring political parties to submit a register and database of all their members as a condition for qualifying to participate in the general elections.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The court held that the time frame the electoral umpire announced for political parties to conduct their primaries and to submit, withdraw, or replace the names and particulars of their candidates for the general elections “is inconsistent with the provisions of the Electoral Act, 2026.”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But in the appeal dated May 25, 2026, filed by INEC, through its counsel, Izinyon (SAN), the electoral body prayed the court to set aside the judgment.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The senior advocate, in the appeal, also asked the court to stay the execution of the judgment.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In the appeal, the electoral umpire raised nine grounds of appeal and prayed the court to set aside the judgment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The post \u003Ca

It only becomes meaningful when it improves the lives of citizens,” he stated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The don recalled a nationwide survey conducted ahead of the 2015 general election, saying that he was part of a research team commissioned by then vice-president-elect, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, to identify Nigerians’ expectations of the incoming administration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>He said the survey identified security as the country’s foremost concern, followed by the economy, corruption, infrastructure and education.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Pate who is also a Professor of Communication at Bayero University, Kano, noted that while successive administrations have made efforts in these areas, Nigerians continue to assess democracy largely by improvements in their daily lives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>He cited findings from the Afrobarometer survey across 39 African countries, which showed that while about two-thirds of Africans prefer democracy to other forms of government, only about 37 per cent were satisfied with how democracy worked in their respective countries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>According to him, “This reflects a gap between citizens’ commitment to democratic ideals and the actual outcomes of democratic governance.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The communication scholar also referenced findings from the 2024 African Young People Survey, which revealed that many young Africans are considering emigrating due to corruption and limited opportunities, warning that such sentiments pose serious questions about the future of democracy on the continent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Pate identified historical grievances, identity politics, social and economic exclusion, youth unemployment, weak institutions and governance deficits as major factors undermining democratic consolidation in Nigeria.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>He argued that: “Identity politics has continued to shape political participation, often placing greater emphasis on ethnicity, religion and place of origin than on competence and shared national values.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>He also expressed concern over the collapse of local government institutions in many parts of the country, saying that grassroots governance had previously played a significant role in resolving community disputes, providing basic services and creating economic opportunities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The professor warned that: “Misinformation, hate speech and divisive narratives amplified through digital platforms are worsening existing social tensions. Nigeria’s challenge is no longer the absence of information but the abundance of false information and the scarcity of public attention.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>He further linked insecurity to rising poverty, hunger, unemployment, environmental challenges and weak governance, arguing that conflicts discourage investment, reduce agricultural productivity and deepen economic hardship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Maintaining that security remains Nigerians’ greatest expectation of government, Pate noted that the country continues to grapple with insurgency, banditry, kidnapping, communal conflicts, separatist agitations and urban crime.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>He called for stronger institutions, inclusive governance and policies that address the root causes of insecurity and inequality, insisting that democracy would only endure if it delivers peace, opportunity and improved living conditions for all Nigerians.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>In his remarks, the Consul General of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Lagos, Michael Deleen, expressed concern over the rising level of poverty in Nigeria, attributing it largely to challenges in the country’s education system and democratic governance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>He said education remains critical to empowering citizens, adding that informed and educated people are better equipped to make decisions based on knowledge rather than circumstance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>He therefore urged the government to prioritise addressing the nation’s education and governance challenges, noting that doing so would help reduce poverty and promote sustainable development.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The event featured a review and unveiling of the 2025 civic space status report and panel discussions examining how sophisticated surveillance technologies, institutionalised harassment and shrinking press freedoms are threatening journalists’ safety and the public’s right to information. \u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The sessions also explored democracy beyond periodic elections, emphasising the need to assess it through good governance, accountability, responsiveness and public trust in institutions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n","wole-soyinka-92-varsity-don-calls-for-democracy-that-delivers-security-economic-prosperity",{"id":1267,"createdAt":1268,"updatedAt":1268,"name":1269,"slug":1270},[1841,1842,1843,1844,1845,1270,1846,70,1847,1848],"wole","soyinka","varsity","don","calls","delivers","economic","prosperity","https:\u002F\u002Fglobal.ariseplay.com\u002Famg\u002Fwww.thisdaylive.com\u002Fuploads\u002F1000993148.jpg",{"id":78,"createdAt":79,"updatedAt":80,"name":81,"image":82,"slug":83},4,"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.thisdaylive.com\u002F2026\u002F07\u002F14\u002Fwole-soyinka-92-varsity-don-calls-for-democracy-that-delivers-security-economic-prosperity\u002F",{"id":1854,"createdAt":1855,"updatedAt":1856,"title":1857,"excerpt":1858,"content":1859,"slug":1860,"topic":1861,"tags":1862,"image":1869,"author":76,"feed":1870,"views":1877,"type":85,"readTime":1692,"externalSourceUrl":1878},"cf6af9f3-9396-4c5d-ae36-89cc7c69877d","2026-07-13T17:16:00.867Z","2026-07-16T19:50:49.000Z","Nigeria’s

As consumer preferences continue to evolve, Tiger is challenging these long-held perceptions and introducing a different kind of beer experience.\u003C\u002Fp>\r\n\u003Cp>At the heart of the Tiger relaunch is a simple idea: boldness should not be defined by bitterness or intensity alone. Today’s consumers are increasingly choosing experiences that feel smoother, more enjoyable, and better suited to the social moments that matter most to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\r\n\u003Cp>The new Tiger reflects this shift through a refreshed liquid that delivers a smoother taste profile, reduced bitterness, a lighter mouthfeel, and a more refreshing finish, while retaining the quality and character consumers expect from the brand.\u003C\u002Fp>\r\n\u003Cp>Alongside the taste refresh, Tiger also introduces a striking new visual identity. The redesigned packaging features a distinctive die-cut label; first of its kind within the category, stronger visual movement, and a more contemporary expression of the Tiger brand, reflecting confidence, progress, and modern boldness.\u003C\u002Fp>\r\n\u003Cp>Commenting on the new taste, \u003Cstrong>Maria Shadeko\u003C\u002Fstrong>, Portfolio Manager for Premium Beer at Nigerian Breweries Plc said:\u003C\u002Fp>\r\n\u003Cblockquote>\r\n\u003Cp>“Consumers today are redefining what boldness means to them. It is no longer about choosing the heaviest beer in the room. It is about confidence, self-expression, and enjoying experiences that genuinely fit their lifestyle. Tiger reflects that evolution, delivering a smoother and more refreshing experience while staying true to the brand’s bold spirit.”\u003C\u002Fp>\r\n\u003C\u002Fblockquote>\r\n\u003Cp>The relaunch comes at a time when conversations around drinking culture are evolving globally. Younger consumers are increasingly drawn to experiences that feel balanced, stylish, and connected to the moments they genuinely enjoy — from nightlife and music to food, fashion, sports, and creative culture.\u003C\u002Fp>\r\n\u003Cp>With Tiger, the brand places real consumer experience at the centre, inviting people to discover a smoother, lighter, and more refreshing beer while embracing a more contemporary expression of boldness.

The firm oversees joint ventures (JVs) and production sharing contracts (PSCs) with international oil companies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Wunti, who noted that the controversial figure resulted from a misinterpretation of accounting entries rather than evidence of missing funds, said the N210 trillion figure was derived by wrongly adding together two separate balance sheet items — N107 trillion recorded as sundry receivables, representing funds owed to the company, and about N103 trillion recorded as accrued expenses, representing liabilities owed by the company.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“Receivables are money other people owe you, while accrued expenses are money you owe other people,” he said.\u003Cbr>“Accounting standards require that these items be reported separately. They cannot simply be added together and described as missing money.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>According to Wunti, there was no basis for the allegation that N210 trillion had disappeared from NNPC’s books, noting that the audited financial statements contained no evidence of missing funds. He added that although his tenure did not cover the entire period under review, it fell significantly within the timeframe being examined, placing him in a position to explain the accounting issues before the committee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The former NAPIMS boss said NNPC’s financial reporting is more complex than that of a conventional commercial enterprise, as the company simultaneously operates as a commercial entity, manages petroleum assets on behalf of the federation, and performs strategic responsibilities aimed at safeguarding Nigeria’s energy security.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Wunti, who headed NAPIMS from March 2020 before becoming Chief Offshore Investment Officer of NNPC Upstream Investment Management Services until December 2024, maintained that throughout his stewardship, there was no reported case of fraud or missing funds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“There was no reported fraud or money missing throughout the period under my stewardship,” he told the committee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>He said that although the Petroleum Industry Act (PIA) separated many of the former NNPC’s commercial and regulatory functions, the company still maintains distinct accounting records to reflect its commercial activities and its management of assets held on behalf of the federation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Wunti also denied reports that N5.8 billion was spent on incorporating NNPC following the implementation of the PIA, saying that the actual statutory payments made to the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) and the Nigeria Revenue Service (NRS) for filing fees and stamp duties amounted to about N2.45 billion. He explained that the higher figure being circulated resulted from accounting entries recorded in separate books because one arm of the organisation executed the payment on behalf of government shareholders while another recorded the same transaction for statutory reporting purposes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“The only money paid was about N2.45 billion, and it went directly to government institutions. No third party received any payment,” he said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Wunti urged closer collaboration between NNPC, the Office of the Accountant-General of the Federation (OAGF), and the Office of the Auditor-General of the Federation to improve understanding of the company’s accounting framework. He also called for a broader appreciation of the Constitution, the PIA, and other relevant statutes governing the company’s operations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>In his remarks, Chairman of the Committee, Senator Dankwambo, who noted that the committee had not found evidence that any money was missing from NNPC accounts, said the ongoing review was intended to ensure transparency and achieve a proper understanding of the company’s audited financial statements rather than validate claims of missing funds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Dankwambo said the committee would study Wunti’s written submission alongside the 2023 audited financial statements before determining whether any further clarification would be required. The committee subsequently adjourned to continue its review of the submissions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The Senate’s ongoing examination of NNPC Ltd.’s 2023 audited accounts has attracted significant public attention amid allegations of financial irregularities and conflicting interpretations of figures contained in the company’s audited financial statements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The post \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.vanguardngr.com\u002F2026\u002F07\u002Fno-n210trn-missing-from-nnpc-accounts-ex-napims-gm-tells-senate-committee\u002F\">No N210trn missing from NNPC accounts, ex-NAPIMS GM tells senate committee\u003C\u002Fa> appeared first on \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.vanguardngr.com\">Vanguard News\u003C\u002Fa>.\u003C\u002Fp>\n","no-n210trn-missing-from-nnpc-accounts-ex-napims-gm-tells-senate-committee",{"id":1198,"createdAt":1199,"updatedAt":1200,"name":1201,"slug":1202},[1989,1990,1991,1992,1993,1994,1202,1995],"n210trn","missing","nnpc","accounts","exnapims","tells","committee","https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.vanguardngr.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2026\u002F02\u002FSenate1.jpg",{"id":1998,"createdAt":1999,"updatedAt":2000,"name":2001,"image":2002,"slug":2003},"ba5aa7e2-df4c-43a8-ac43-57e16ebb83a0","2026-03-25T11:54:25.227Z","2026-05-14T10:06:39.000Z","Vanguard Nigeria","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.oneclickafrica.com\u002Fmedia\u002Ffeed\u002F5e53f632-5a90-44f5-83e1-eac7059f14f0.webp","vanguard-nigeria","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.vanguardngr.com\u002F2026\u002F07\u002Fno-n210trn-missing-from-nnpc-accounts-ex-napims-gm-tells-senate-committee\u002F",{"id":2006,"createdAt":2007,"updatedAt":2008,"title":2009,"excerpt":2010,"content":2011,"slug":2012,"topic":2013,"tags":2014,"image":2021,"author":76,"feed":2022,"views":1851,"type":85,"readTime":1829,"externalSourceUrl":2023},"466589f2-de70-4965-980b-5a6945344b03","2026-07-17T04:15:00.807Z","2026-07-17T07:36:52.000Z","Senate Halts Procurement Reform, Insists on Budget Transparency First","• Akpabio, senators admit lawmakers lack full knowledge of National Assembly finances   •As tender board proposal withdrawn Sunday Aborisade in Abuja The Senate on Thursday shelved a proposal to establish","\u003Cdiv style=\"margin-top: 0px;
