@dailyplug9ja: Here's everything that happened in Nigeria in the last 12 hours. Suspected Boko Haram terrorists launched a brutal two-hour assault on a military post in Mairari, Borno State, with local reports indicating potential military casualties as claims of seven soldiers killed remain unverified. A tanker carrying thirty-three thousand liters of groundnut oil overturned near the Ojota Bridge in Lagos, triggering massive traffic gridlock as local residents rushed to scoop the spilled contents onto the road. The federal government officially approved plans for a new Eastern-Western electricity grid to permanently stop recurring national grid collapses, with procurement starting immediately to secure structural improvements within three years. President Bola Tinubu officially inaugurated the APC’s twenty-setven Presidential Campaign Council in Abuja with Vice President Kashim Shettima as vice chairman, locking in the grand campaign flag-off for October twenty-fourth in Kaduna. The federal government announced it is seeking seventy-eight point five billion dollars in private investments for sixty-five massive projects across critical sectors, projecting the creation of over three hundred and sixty-six thousand new jobs. The IMF issued a strong warning advising Nigeria against restoring blanket petrol subsidies, recommending that the nation implement targeted household assistance instead of broad, costly fuel discounts. NAFDAC operatives raided Aba, Abia State, seizing over two hundred million naira worth of counterfeit packaging materials and sealing five local shops supplying items for fake alcoholic beverages. INEC Chairman Joash Amupitan firmly assured Nigerians that algorithms will not dictate the results of the twenty-setven general elections, promising that critical electoral decisions will strictly retain human oversight. The Nigeria Police Force announced it is comprehensively reviewing structural lessons from previous elections to improve security performance and guarantee total professionalism ahead of the twenty-setven polls.
