Reinstate Betta Edu as Humanitarian Minister – Borno, Niger IDPs beg Tinubu
The leadership of Internally Displaced Persons(IDPs) in Borno and Niger states have passionately appealed to President Bola Tinubu to in the spirit of humanity and performance, reinstate Dr Betta Edu to office as Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation to reduce their suffering.
The IDPs who separately made this appeal recently recalled with nostalgia, how they enjoyed a new lease of life during the four and half months when Dr. Edu held as Minister for Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation.
Speaking at Muna Internally Displaced Persons ( IDPs ) camp in Maiduguri, a camp hosting over 52,000 IDPs from various local government areas of the state, Usman Monguno who said he has been an IDP for the past five years commended President Bola Tinubu for his unwavering commitment to lifting vulnerable Nigerians, especially IDPs, out of multi-dimensional poverty.
He however pleaded with him to restore Dr Edu to office as according to him, “her visit to us when she was in office as Minister was reassuring, and her track record clearly showed she is deeply committed to executing His Excellency’s mandate in line with the Renewed Hope Agenda.
“Here is a minister who exudes empathy, love, and care for vulnerable Nigerians. I remember how she personally interacted with us, mingled with us, and supervised the distribution of relief materials when she visited us in our Maidugri IDP camp.
“Dr. Edu did not only give us hope when she visited, but she also gave us a new lease of life. I can never forget that memorable visit, “Monguno said.
Further appealing for Dr. Edu’s reinstatement, Usman said: “I fervently beg Mr President to please, bring back our Betta for better days.”
Another IDP who simply gave his name as Kashim Muhammed expressed optimism that “Mr President will eventually see a reason to restore Dr Edu to her office as she has not been indicted, charged to court, tried, convicted and jailed by any court.
“Her continuous suspension is causing great setbacks to Mr. President’s poverty alleviation agenda. This is because Dr Edu’s achievements during her short stay in the office went a long way to reassure vulnerable Nigerians that the government has not and will not abandon them”
On his part, Abdullahi Ndako who spoke on behalf of 22,000 internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Niger state said he became an IDP when his community was overrun by bandits, explaining that the greatest gift President Bola Tinubu can give IDPs in Niger state was to restore Edu to the office so that she can continue with her exceptional drive to renewed hope agenda to end poverty, lack and want among the displaced persons.
“Few days after she was appointed Minister, Dr Edu stormed Niger state with a message of renewed hope, in fact, she came to renew our sagging hope- bringing with her empathy, care, love and relief materials. Dr Edu gave us a sense of belonging and assured us that our days of misery and tears would soon end with her relocation plan. Since she was suspended, nobody has remembered us.
“I humbly beg Mr Presiden to look upon us with pity and bring back Dr Edu. We miss her care and motherly instincts,”
Another IDP, Amina Muhammed, a mother of three young kids, lamented the pitiable condition of the IDP camp, saying if Dr. Edu was not suspended. Life would have been much better in the camp.
“When she visited here, she saw our condition and then promised that our woes would soon be over. Sadly, she is not in the office to fulfil her promise. I’m begging our Jagaban ( president Tinubu) to reinstate the Hon. Minister to office, we miss her.”
…As Oborevwori Donates Buses To Institute
The Petroleum Training Institute (PTI), Effurun, Delta State, has expressed readiness to collaborate with the State Government on international oil and gas training programmes designed to equip youths with employable skills and drive economic growth in the state.
Speaking during a courtesy call on Governor Sheriff Oborevwori at Government House, Asaba, on Tuesday, the Principal and Chief Executive Officer of PTI, Dr. Samuel Onoji, said the Institute was committed to offering discounted and subsidised international trainings in oil and gas to enhance the employability of Delta youths.
Onoji commended Governor Oborevwori’s infrastructural drive, describing developments under his administration as unprecedented in the history of the state.
He also appreciated the Governor for reconnecting electricity to the Institute and invited the Governor to the Institute’s International Hydrocarbons and Scientific Conference scheduled for October at the PTDF Hall, Abuja.
In his remarks, Governor Oborevwori commended PTI and the Minister of Petroleum, Senator Heineken Lokpobri, for releasing 25 hectares of land to the state government, stressing that the gesture reflected their commitment to Delta’s growth and development.
“PTI is very dear to us in Delta because it opened the door for other federal government establishments to come into our state.
“We don’t take anything concerning PTI lightly. Your visit today is a demonstration of your commitment, and I assure you that this government will continue to support the Institute in all its endeavours,” the Governor said.
As part of his support, Governor Oborevwori approved the donation of a Coaster Bus and an 18-seater Hiace Bus to meet the mobility needs of staff and students of PTI.
Established in 1972, PTI is regarded as the foremost petroleum training institute in Africa, mandated to train and retrain skilled manpower for the oil and gas industry.

‘No More N865/Ltr’ – Dangote Releases List of Filling Stations Selling Petrol At Cheaper Rate (New Petrol Prices by States)
The Dangote Petroleum Refinery has announced a fresh reduction in petrol pump prices, offering Nigerians a much-needed relief at a time of rising living costs.
Starting from Monday, September 15, petrol will now be sold below N865 per litre at select partner filling stations across the country.
This announcement comes alongside the refinery’s new distribution model, which involves the use of Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) trucks to deliver fuel directly to stations. The approach is expected to cut down logistics costs and improve fuel availability nationwide.
New Petrol Prices by States
According to Dangote Refinery, the price adjustments will immediately take effect in several states, with plans to expand nationwide.
Lagos, Ogun, Oyo, Ondo, Osun, and Ekiti: N841 per litre (previously between N865 and N880)
Abuja, Delta, Rivers, Edo, and Kwara: N851 per litre (previously between N890 and N910)
Dangote emphasized that this is just the beginning, promising that more states will benefit from similar reductions in the coming weeks.
Partner Filling Stations Selling at New Prices
The refinery has partnered with both long-standing and newly added marketers to make cheaper petrol available to Nigerians.

Why the price drop matters
The price cut, which averages N24 lower per litre, is directly linked to Dangote’s new direct distribution strategy. By rolling out thousands of CNG-powered trucks and establishing CNG “daughter booster” stations across the country, the refinery aims to reduce dependence on middlemen, thereby slashing transportation costs that usually drive fuel prices higher.
At the moment, Dangote has taken delivery of 1,000 out of the 4,000 trucks it ordered. This investment in logistics is expected to ensure steady nationwide distribution in the months ahead.
Benefits for petrol dealers and marketers
Beyond reducing retail prices, Dangote Refinery has also extended an invitation to filling station owners across Nigeria to join its distribution network. The company is offering:
Free delivery logistics through its CNG-powered truck fleet
Access to credit facilities: Dealers who purchase 500,000 litres can obtain an additional 500,000 litres on credit for two weeks, under bank guarantee
This system is designed to support petrol dealers, manufacturers, transport operators, and other large-scale users while ensuring Nigerians pay less at the pump.
NNPC price comparison
Interestingly, the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited has also recently adjusted its pump price to N865 per litre, which remains slightly higher than Dangote’s new rates in most states.
The competition between the state-owned NNPC and the privately owned Dangote refinery may continue to shape petrol pricing in Nigeria in the coming months.

2027 Election: “Tell Tinubu This”, – Primate Ayodele Sends Strong Warning To Tinubu In New Prophecy
Prophet Ayodele has consistently been in the news week in, week out. It is either he is releasing a fresh prophecy that’s gaining traction or a previous prohecy has just come to fulfilment and people are talking about it.
In a statement signed by his media aide, Osho Oluwatosin, Primate Ayodele stated that the present administration is full of wrong advisers who are pushing for irrelevant policies, and making good advisers enemies of the president.
The prophet warned the president against making good advisers his enemies, as it will lead to the end of his government if care isn’t taken.
“Tinubu’s administration is full of wrong advisers; they are turning him against his good advisers, and he will make them his enemies. He is creating enemies, and those whom he thinks love him would be his worst enemies.
“There are lots of irrelevant policies they are using to kill Tinubu’s government; these are policies that will build up massive protests against the government and division. He should do the needful; there are several irrelevant policies already, but the focus ought to be on what will make people happy. “
Primate Ayodele mentioned some things the president should focus on, and they include development and surplus for the people. He stated that road construction is good, but it’s not enough for the people.
He commended the president for his efforts on insecurity but urged him to do more.
“Tinubu should focus on development, on how to create surplus for the people. Road construction is good, but it’s not the only thing people need; he needs to look into other areas.
“On insecurity, he is doing well, but he should do more, activate forest security in order to end kidnapping. He should increase the salaries of national assembly members because it will turn the nation into chaos. He should also eradicate darkness, and not add more tariffs and taxes to basic things in the country.”
