In a major courtroom development, the Oyo State High Court sitting in Ibadan has dismissed a ₦5 billion defamation lawsuit filed by Chief Gani Adams, the Aare-Ona-Kakanfo of Yorubaland, against Yoruba Nation activist, Chief Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho. The case, which has generated much public interest, centered around allegations that Igboho had unlawfully recorded a private phone conversation between the two men and leaked it to the public, which Adams described as an invasion of privacy and a serious breach of his constitutional rights.

In a powerful call to action, the United Nations has urged Nigeria’s private sector to step up and fill the growing funding gap threatening the nation’s development goals. The plea was made by Mohamed Malick Fall, the UN Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator in Nigeria, during a high-level dialogue on financing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) held in Lagos. With international aid shrinking and global economic pressures mounting, Fall emphasized the need for a strategic shift in how Nigeria finances its development. He stated that the country must no longer rely solely on government resources or international donor support.
