@dailyplug9ja: Here’s everything that happened in Nigeria today. Edo State Governor Monday Okpebholo vowed to set up a special court for kidnappers and cultists, promising to personally sign execution warrants for hanging at the Ring Road roundabout once convictions are secured. A Federal High Court in Abuja sentenced the mother and sister of slain terrorist kingpin Battujo to 20 years imprisonment each, after both pleaded guilty to aiding his banditry and concealing information about his weapons. Nigeria secured a €200 million financing facility from the European Investment Bank's development arm to expand credit access for small businesses and boost green energy and digital economy investments nationwide. Ogun State banned graduation ceremonies for all non-terminal classes in public and private schools, restricting celebrations strictly to Primary 6, JSS3, and SSS3 students to ease financial pressure on parents. The Federal Government is considering allowing selected journalists to accompany troops during military operations, a proposal aimed at improving transparency and security reporting, though no implementation timeline has been set. Nigerian telecom operators dismissed fears of an imminent tariff increase, clarifying that the NCC's new cost-based review could lead to price reductions rather than automatic hikes for consumers. PETROAN urged refiners, depot owners, and importers to immediately lower fuel prices in line with the recent drop in global crude oil costs, to give Nigerians the benefit of cheaper energy. #trendingnews #newsupdate #nigerianews
