Says the Church has an integral role to play
The First Lady of the Federal Republic of Nigeria , Senator Oluremi Tinubu,CON has charged religious leaders especially the women to instill discipline, love and the fear of God in their children and other followers.
The First Lady made the remarks during a visit to her office at the State House, Abuja by the Women Wing of the Christian Association of Nigeria (WOWICAN) led by its National Chairperson, Mrs Victoria Ihesiulor.
According to Senator Oluremi Tinubu, Christianity is a religion of love, meekness and tolerance that need to be extended towards everyone regardless of their faith, race, ethnicity and social background.

“Stop speaking down the glory of Nigeria, rather, prepare your children for the glory to come’’
“As for us, we are going to lead according to the fear of God, I am a Nigerian and I don’t want to fly out of this nation, therefore let us all join our hands together in building it.’’
“We are not in office for ethnicity or religiosity”.
“My family is not taking the grace of God to serve Nigeria for granted”.

She noted her tireless work towards uplifting the country out of hardship.
Mrs Ihesiulor said that WOWICAN relentlessly support and pray for President Bola Tinubu, the First Lady and Nigeria for improved peace and development of the nation.

Alleged N2.2bn fraud: Ngige gets bail, trials continue on January 28
The EFCC alleges that Ngige used his ministerial position between 2015 and 2023 to award contracts unfairly, divert funds, and enrich himself and associates.
Former Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige, has been granted bail by the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory in Gwarimpa.
He faces eight counts of charges bordering on abuse of office, contract fraud, and acceptance of kickbacks from contractors linked to the Nigeria Social Insurance Trust Fund.
In Thursday’s ruling, Justice Maryam Hassan adopted the terms of the administrative bail earlier granted by the EFCC.
The court ordered Ngige to produce a surety who must be a serving Federal Government director.
The surety is required to deposit travel documents with the court registrar, as Ngige claims his passport was lost.
The surety must also present landed property with a valid certificate of occupancy within the Federal Capital Territory.
The EFCC alleges that Ngige used his ministerial position between 2015 and 2023 to award contracts unfairly, divert funds, and enrich himself and associates.
The trial is scheduled to commence on January 28, 2026.

BREAKING: Senate Confirms Former INEC Chairman Mahmood Yakubu, Reno Omokri, Femi Fani-Kayode, and Others as Ambassadors
#The Nigerian Senate has confirmed a list of high-profile non-career ambassadorial nominees submitted by President Bola Tinubu, including former Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) Chairman Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, social media influencer and former presidential aide Reno Omokri, and ex-Minister of Aviation Chief Femi Fani-Kayode (FFK).
The confirmations followed screenings by the Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs, which cleared the nominees amid some procedural debates but ultimately recommended their approval.
Other prominent figures confirmed include former Minister of Interior Abdulrahman Dambazau, ex-governors Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi (Enugu) and Okezie Ikpeazu (Abia), and several former senators and political allies.
The approvals form part of a broader diplomatic restructuring by the Tinubu administration, with the nominees expected to be deployed to key missions abroad to strengthen Nigeria’s international relations.
Sources indicate that the list, which includes a mix of career and non-career diplomats totaling around 68, addresses long-standing vacancies in Nigeria’s foreign missions.
The nominations had sparked public debate earlier, with critics questioning the inclusion of politically controversial figures, while supporters highlighted their experience in public service and loyalty to national interests.
The confirmed ambassadors-designate will receive their specific postings after formal letters of credence from the president.
This development marks a significant step in revitalizing Nigeria’s diplomatic presence globally.
