Former Minister of Housing and Urban Development Ahmed Dangiwa has expressed appreciation to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for the opportunity to serve in the Federal Executive Council following his exit after a cabinet reshuffle.
Dangiwa, whose removal was confirmed on Tuesday alongside Wale Edun, said his tenure was both an honour and a responsibility in national service. In a statement issued by his Special Assistant on Media and Strategy, Mark Chieshe, the former minister noted that he was privileged to lead reforms in the housing and urban development sector and described the experience as deeply fulfilling. He also thanked members of the Federal Executive Council, development partners, and ministry staff for their support.
“I wish to sincerely thank Mr President for the confidence he reposed in me to serve as Honourable Minister of Housing and Urban Development. It has been a rare privilege to contribute to the advancement of policies and programmes aimed at expanding access to affordable housing for Nigerians,” he said. Dangiwa added that notable progress was made under the administration, including the rollout of the Renewed Hope Housing Programme, strengthened public-private partnerships, and reforms in land administration and housing finance, assuring that the transition process would be smooth while reaffirming his commitment to national development.

The Nigeria Police Force has arrested a dismissed Nigerian Army corporal, Abubakar Musa, for allegedly leading a robbery syndicate and impersonating military personnel in Kaduna State.
Force Public Relations Officer, DCP Anthony Okon Placid, disclosed that the suspect was apprehended alongside other gang members identified as Hassan Umar and Joshua Raphael, following intelligence-led operations in the state. He said the syndicate had been operating across Kaduna and its environs, using military impersonation as a cover to evade arrest. According to him, the operation was carried out by operatives of the Force Intelligence Department – Special Tactical Squad (FID-STS), who acted on credible intelligence.
Placid further revealed that several items were recovered from the suspects, including vehicles and weapons. “The suspects were identified as Abdumumini Abubakar, Maikano Gambo, Saleh Thompson, and Oyonyi Odango. Recovered items include four AK-47 rifles with magazines, 80 rounds of 7.62 units of 39mm ammunition, and one locally fabricated pistol with 20 rounds of 9mm ammunition. Operatives of the FID-STS, acting on credible intelligence, arrested the suspects on 7 March 2026 in Tayu, Sanga LGA of Kaduna State. These achievements reflect the continued commitment of the Nigeria Police Force to intelligence-led policing and decisive action against criminal elements.”
Karex Berhad has announced plans to raise condom prices by 20 to 30 percent due to supply chain disruptions linked to the Iran war.
The Malaysia-based company, regarded as the world’s largest condom producer, said the increase is driven by rising costs of raw materials and logistics challenges since the conflict began in late February. Karex, which produces over five billion condoms annually and supplies major brands like Durex and Trojan, also provides products to public health systems such as the National Health Service and global programmes run by the United Nations.
Chief Executive Officer Goh Miah told Reuters that the costs of key materials, including synthetic rubber, nitrile, aluminium foils and silicone oil, have surged, while freight delays have worsened supply shortages. “The situation is definitely very fragile, prices are expensive. We have no choice but to transfer the costs right now to the customers,” he said. He added that shipments to Europe and the United States now take nearly two months, up from about a month previously, noting, “We’re seeing a lot more condoms actually sitting on vessels that have not arrived at their destination but are highly required.” The company said it is working to boost output as demand rises, particularly in developing countries facing stock shortages.

Investigation into claims that Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) Chairman Joash Amupitan operated a partisan X account during the 2023 elections has revealed a strong correlation between his personal contact information and the account’s recovery details, despite official denials. Digital forensics linked Amupitan’s publicly available phone number and University of Jos email to the two-factor authentication recovery data for the account formerly known as @joashamupitan, which reportedly posted “victory is sure” in support of the All Progressives Congress (APC) before being renamed @Sundayvibe00 and locked.
While AI tools like Grok attributed the handle to the Chairman, INEC has dismissed the allegations as a fabrication by impersonators, asserting that “The INEC Chairman does not own or operate any personal account on X. He has at no time engaged in partisan commentary, nor has he ever associated himself with any political leaning or activity in his private or public capacity,” though no independent forensic report has yet been released to verify the commission’s stance.
