    Senate okays new CEOs for NUPRC, NMDPRA

    The Senate, yesterday, confirmed the appointments of new chief executives for Nigeria’s key petroleum regulatory agencies, paving the way for a leadership reset in the upstream as well as the midstream and downstream segments of the oil and gas industry following the exit of their predecessors.

    The confirmations came after the Senate considered and adopted the report of the joint committees that screened the nominees. The report was presented at plenary by the Chairman of the committees, Senator Kawu Sumaila, during a session presided over by the Deputy Senate President, Senator Jibrin Barau.

    Those confirmed are Oritsemeyiwa Amanorisewo Eyesan as Commission Chief Executive of the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC) and Engineer Saidu Mohammed as Chief Executive of the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA).

    Presenting the report, Sumaila recalled that at its sitting of December 18, 2025, the Senate received a request from President Bola Ahmed Tinubu seeking legislative confirmation of the two nominees in line with the provisions of the Petroleum Industry Act (PIA), 2021. The request was subsequently referred to the relevant joint committees on petroleum for screening.

    He noted that Sections 4 and 29 of the PIA establish the NUPRC and the NMDPRA, while Sections 11(3) and 34(3) empower the President to appoint their chief executives for a renewable five-year term, subject to Senate confirmation.

    According to him, the joint committees engaged the nominees in what he described as a rigorous and transparent screening exercise, during which lawmakers examined their qualifications, experience and understanding of the statutory mandates of the two agencies.

    “The Joint Committee, having screened the nominees and being satisfied with their qualifications, expertise and responses to questions, recommends that the Senate confirm the nomination of Oritsemeyiwa Amanorisewo Eyesan as Commission Chief Executive of the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission and Engineer Saidu Mohammed as Chief Executive of the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority,” Sumaila said.

    The Deputy Senate President thereafter put the recommendations to a voice vote, which was unanimously affirmed by lawmakers.

    Announcing the outcome, Barau commended the joint committees for what he described as uncommon diligence and speed, noting that the screening exercise was concluded within an unusually short period.

    “The confirmation was referred to the committee just yesterday. They worked through the night and did in one day what ordinarily should take one or two weeks,” he said, describing the effort as a demonstration of commitment to the Senate and the nation.

    Barau congratulated the newly confirmed chief executives and reminded them that their appointments were a call to national service, urging them to discharge their duties in the overall interest of the country.

    With the confirmation, the Senate has formally completed the process of installing new leadership in Nigeria’s petroleum regulatory architecture, a development seen as critical to sustaining reforms under the Petroleum Industry Act and strengthening stability in the oil and gas sector.

    Tinubu celebrates Olatilo, Gbadegesin

    President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has congratulated two Nigerian icons, ace-broadcaster, Bisi Olatilo, who clocked 72; and his longtime ally, Professor Segun Gbadegesin, who turned 80.

    Tinubu described Olatilo as a media icon whose work continues to enrich Nigeria’s cultural life and national development.

    In a statement issued by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Mr Bayo Onanuga, on Friday to mark Olatilo’s birthday on December 20, the President extolled the broadcaster, polyglot and founder of Biscon Communications, for his pioneering role in broadcast journalism and his enduring commitment to professionalism in the media industry.

    “Otunba Bisi, at 72, you have become an institution and a widely respected voice in Nigeria’s celebrity media circle, primarily through the Bisi Olatilo Show, which has transformed into a must-see item in social circles and a veritable source of enlightenment and mentorship,” the President said.

    While congratulating Gbadegesin, his longtime friend and political associate, on the occasion of his 80th birthday, he described the renowned philosopher as a fearless democrat whose life of scholarship and activism has left an enduring mark on Nigeria’s democracy and educational development.

    Tinubu recalled the courage, brilliance and clarity of purpose that defined Gbadegesin’s role as a US-based democratic activist during the struggle to return Nigeria to civil rule in the 1990s, including the campaign for the recognition of the winner of the June 12 presidential election.

    He acknowledged that the philosopher’s commitment to democratic ideals sometimes put his life on the line, underscoring his steadfast loyalty to the cause of freedom and justice.

    The President also highlighted Gbadegesin’s contributions to Nigeria’s educational development through decades of research, insightful articles, book authorship, teaching and counselling, which, he said, have produced a strong legacy of discipline, focus and resourcefulness among students and colleagues alike.

    “As Gbadegesin turns an octogenarian, the President believes his influence in academia, governance and democratic institutions will continue to expand, particularly in politics, philosophy and economics, where he remains an authority,” the statement said.

  • Court restrains Abia ex-commissioner from making comments against Otti

    Court restrains Abia ex-commissioner from making comments against Otti

    A High Court of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) has granted an interlocutory injunction restraining a former Abia State Commissioner for Information, Barr. Eze Chikamnayo, from making or publishing allegedly defamatory comments against Governor Alex Chioma Otti, pending the determination of a ₦100bn defamation suit filed by the governor.

    Justice J.E. Obanor, in a ruling delivered on Thursday, ordered Chikamnayo to desist from “writing, authoring, sharing, circulating, broadcasting, voicing, forwarding and/or syndicating” any defamatory content against the claimant on his Facebook wall, Iyierioba Chikamnayo, or on any other social or digital media platforms, including X, Instagram, Telegram, WhatsApp and TikTok, as well as traditional media such as newspapers, radio and television, pending the determination of the substantive suit.

    The judge stated: “Having carefully considered the application and all the processes before the Court, and there being no process challenging the same, I am satisfied as to the need to grant the interlocutory order sought. Motion No. M/15807/2025 is hereby granted, and the orders are accordingly made as prayed, pending the determination of the substantive suit.”

    The court adjourned the matter to January 19, 2026, for hearing.

    The ruling followed a motion on notice filed by Governor Otti’s legal team, led by Dr Sonny Ajala, SAN, accusing Chikamnayo of continuing to publish offensive materials against the governor despite being served with court processes on October 17, 2025.

    According to court documents, Chikamnayo allegedly published a series of posts on his Facebook page between October 17 and October 31, 2025, after being served with the originating processes in the suit. Some of the posts allegedly described the governor in derogatory terms.

    In an affidavit in support of the motion, deposed to by Ifeanyi Michael Agbo, Practice Manager at Deeplaw Associates, the governor’s legal team stated that the defendant, described as a legal practitioner, continued to publish offensive materials against the claimant despite being aware of the pending lawsuit.

    The affidavit further alleged that the publications were intended to cause reputational damage and incite public hostility against the governor.

    In a written address accompanying the motion, Otti’s counsel argued that the continued publications violated the doctrine of sub judice, which prohibits actions or statements capable of prejudicing matters pending before a court.

    Ajala also submitted that the conduct complained of contravened Rule 30 of the Rules of Professional Conduct for Legal Practitioners 2023, which enjoins lawyers to refrain from acts that may obstruct or adversely affect the administration of justice.

    The substantive suit, filed on October 8, 2025, followed a demand letter dated October 2, 2025, requesting a retraction of the alleged defamatory publications, which the defendant allegedly failed to comply with within the stipulated seven days.

    In the suit, Otti is seeking a declaration that his reputation, goodwill and standing have been gravely injured by the alleged false and malicious publications. He is also claiming ₦100bn as damages for reputational injury, psychological and emotional trauma.

    The governor is further asking the court to compel the defendant to tender an unreserved apology to be published on his Facebook page and in selected national newspapers, as well as an order of perpetual injunction restraining further defamatory publications and ₦250m as cost of the action.

    Earlier, on October 16, 2025, Justice Obanor had granted leave to serve court processes on Chikamnayo through substituted means, including his Facebook wall and phone and WhatsApp number, after the court was informed that those were the channels through which he could be reached.

    The defendant was ordered to enter an appearance within 30 days of service or risk judgment being entered in his absence.

  • CIPPON president kicks against alleged unlawful inauguration of new council

    CIPPON president kicks against alleged unlawful inauguration of new council

    The President and Chairman in Council of the Chartered Institute of Professional Printers of Nigeria (CIPPON), Comrade Babajide Salako, has condemned what he described as ‘the unlawful and illegal inauguration’ of a purported new governing council of the institute.

    Addressing a press conference, on Friday, at the CIPPON Secretariat, Salako warned that the action, allegedly carried out by the Ministry of Information and National Orientation, Alhaji Mohammed Idris, could undermine the rule of law.

    “It is our firm belief that the honourable Minister was wrongly briefed and facts were misrepresented to him by the usurpers.

    Salako said the institute’s leadership was alarmed by media reports that the information minister had inaugurated a new CIPPON council through his Permanent Secretary, Chinasa Ogbodo.

    He maintained that a legitimately elected CIPPON council is currently in place and being led by him.

    Salako further revealed that the individual allegedly inaugurated as president, Mr. Koko Clement, has a pending court case before the Federal High Court, Kano Division, challenging the leadership of the institute.

    “The suit, marked FHC/KN/CS/195/2025, was instituted by Clement himself and includes the Ministry of Information and National Orientation, the Honourable Minister, the Federal Government Printer and the current CIPPON leadership as defendants.

    “The judgment in the matter has been reserved by Justice S.A. Amobeda following the last court hearing on December 11, 2025.”

    Questioning Clement’s actions, Salako asked why he would seek court intervention if he was indeed the rightful president of the institute, and why he could not wait for the court’s decision before laying claim to the office.

    “The CIPPON Act 24 of 2007 does not empower the minister or the permanent secretary to inaugurate the council. He added that the action was sub judice and in clear violation of the law establishing the institute.”

    Quoting Section 6(1) of the Act, Salako stated that the president and vice presidents of the institute must be elected by members of the council, subject to the provisions of the Act.

    He also recalled a previous judgment of the Federal High Court, Calabar, delivered on May 9, 2024, which nullified what he described as a “kangaroo election” that allegedly produced Niyi Adesoye as president and Koko T. Clement as vice president.

    Salako warned that allowing the continued existence of what he termed an unauthorised council could pre-empt ongoing judicial proceedings, damage the reputation of the federal government and weaken public trust in the Ministry of Information and National Orientation.

    He appealed to the Minister of Information and National Orientation to urgently review the matter.

    “It is our firm believe that the honourable Minister was wrongly briefed and facts were misrepresented to him by the usurpers.
