Chad shuts border with Nigeria over US threats

The Chad Government has announced an immediate closure of its border with Nigeria on heightened security concerns fueled by rumors of purported U.S. forces’ movement in parts of West Africa.

Military sources in N’Djamena confirmed on Monday that President Mahamat Idriss Déby Itno ordered a military lockdown on the Nigerian border after intelligence indicated that terrorist actors from Northern Nigeria were planning to cross into Chad.

According to Zagazola Makama, Chadian troops and armored vehicles have been deployed to critical routes from Nigeria, and all units are now at full readiness.President Déby reportedly warned that “no armed group or foreign force will be allowed to enter Chadian soil under any disguise.”

The border closure comes amid growing regional tension and speculation over America’s alleged military activities in the Sahel and West Africa.

Security experts say Chad’s action is a precautionary step aimed at protecting its borders and preventing infiltration by militants who may seek to exploit the current instability in the region.

FG approves temporary use of Lagos-Calabar Coastal Road after gas tanker accident

The Federal Ministry of Works has approved the temporary use of the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Road to ease traffic congestion caused by a gas-laden tanker accident at the Chisco axis, inward Victoria Island, Lagos.

The development was announced in a statement posted on X on Monday by the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority, LASTMA.

According to the statement, the decision was reached following the disruption caused by the overturned tanker on the main carriageway, which led to major traffic delays in the area.

It read: “The Lagos State Ministry of Transportation wishes to inform motorists that due to a truck accident at the Chisco area, Lekki, the Federal Ministry of Works has approved the opening of the Coastal Road for use pending when normalcy is restored. Motorists are implored to be patient while plying the area.”

The statement was signed by the Lagos State Commissioner for Transportation, Mr Oluwaseun Osiyemi, who urged motorists to cooperate with traffic officials and exercise caution while navigating the alternative route.

Earlier on Monday, LASTMA had confirmed that its officers, in collaboration with emergency responders, successfully prevented what could have been a major fire disaster after the gas-laden tanker overturned on the busy Victoria Island-bound carriageway.

The agency noted that recovery operations were ongoing and assured the public that traffic would return to normal as soon as the tanker was safely evacuated.

FCTA engages youths to lead fight against air pollution

As part of efforts to curb air pollution and promote environmental sustainability, the Health Services and Environment Secretariat, FCTA, is mobilizing young people, especially students in secondary and tertiary institutions, to take the lead in protecting the environment for future generations.

The initiative, convened by Ms. Daniella Olayinka, a young Rotaractor (Rotaract Club of Omole Golden, District 9111) and behavioral advocate, will involve visits to schools and campuses across the FCT to educate students on environmental protection and the upcoming “Breathe Clean Air Abuja” project.

Declaring the youth-focused advocacy campaign open in Abuja on Monday, the Mandate Secretary, Dr. Dolapo Fasawe, announced that the Secretariat is collaborating with Rotaract Clubs in the city, including the Rotaract Club of Abuja Maitama, Rotaract Club of Apo FCT, and Rotaract Club of Abuja Wuse II, along with other stakeholders, to sensitize young people on the dangers of air pollution and the importance of adopting clean energy solutions, with members of these clubs expected to join the outreach efforts to further expand the campaign’s reach and impact among young people.

Fasawe said: “We recognize the critical role of young people as agents of change, especially on issues that affect our planet. That’s why we are partnering with the Education Secretariat and other stakeholders to ensure students are included in this important campaign.”

The campaign will employ interactive and creative approaches to engage the youth, including competitions, debates, poem recitations, talent hunts, social media challenges, and the formation of environmental clubs.

These activities aim to inspire environmental responsibility, promote behavioral change, and encourage innovation among students.

Incentives and prizes will also be given to outstanding participants to further motivate their involvement.

The campaign will focus on raising awareness about the dangers of charcoal and firewood stoves, encouraging the switch to cleaner cooking methods using Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG), and promoting habits that protect the environment from pollution and hazardous substances.

The Breathe Clean Air Abuja project, scheduled for launch on November 13, is a flagship public-private partnership initiative under the FCTA.

It aims to replace traditional firewood stoves with gas stoves and reach over 5,000 households across the six area councils of the FCT, particularly in underserved communities.

Speaking on behalf of the youth, Ms. Olayinka reaffirmed their readiness to support the Secretariat in spreading awareness and inspiring behavioral change.

She highlighted key focus areas such as tree planting, carpooling, switching to LPG, avoiding open burning of refuse, and promoting the use of eco-friendly products.

The project’s theme, “Renewing Hope, One Household at a Time,” reflects FCTA’s commitment to building a healthier, cleaner, and more sustainable Abuja through youth-driven advocacy and community engagement.

Fiery Islamic cleric, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, on Monday disclosed that the United States government is an enemy of Nigeria.

Gumi explained that US government see Nigeria as its enemy because of the latter’s resources.

Posting on his Facebook page, the popular Islamic scholar recalled that the same US government which allegedly backed late Biafra warlord, Odumegwu Ojukwu, is now claiming to be protecting Christians in the country.

He wrote: “The USA government, because of prejudice, and our resources are enemies of Nigeria.

“Yesterday, it was Ojukwu falsely claiming the ‘menace of Arabs and Islam’ in his declaration of war against the nation, only to be embarrassed by the Nigerian Christian head of state and his Christian deputy also.

“Yet the USA was behind him, training the Biafrans. Today, the USA is threatening Nigeria on the same claims as yesterday, ‘protecting the Christians’ as if they were small babies.

“Nigerians, we need to know our real enemies until the tide changes against these white racist evangelical supremacists.

“Thank God, the American people are understanding and getting bored with their rhetoric.”
