President Bola Tinubu has signed three executive orders to help improve investment in the oil and gas sector.

In a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, this is in line with the President’s efforts to remove obstacles to investments in Nigeria, and harness the nation’s resources for the benefit of all Nigerians.

The orders are to introduce fiscal incentives for oil & gas projects, reduce contracting costs and timelines, and promote cost efficiency in local content requirements.

Ajuri said the details of the Policy Directives will be gazetted and communicated by the Federal Ministry of Information and National Orientation.

The Senate has resolved to meet with President Bola Tinubu over the insecurity in Benue State and Nigeria at large.

The resolution followed the report of a militia clash in Benue on Tuesday, which left no fewer than 30 dead.

It followed a motion brought forth by Senator representing Benue North-East, Emmanuel Udende.

Udende, in his lead debate, said that over 50 residents of the Logo and Katsina-Ala area of the state were killed by men who disguised themselves as herders to unleash havoc on the communities.

A cross section of senators supported the motion.

The Senate, in its resolution, decided that its leadership will visit President Bola Tinubu with all the resolutions on the motion and also lead a delegation to the Governor of Benue State to find out his efforts on the challenges.

The United Nations (UN) has confirmed the abduction of over 200 Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs), mainly women and children, in Borno State.

The insurgents struck three IDP camps in Ngala town, the headquarters of Gamboru Ngala Local Government Area at the border of Cameroon where the terrorists are most active.

In a statement by the UN Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator in Nigeria, Mohammed Fall lamented that more than two million people in Borno, Adamawa and Yobe states have fled to garrison towns where they barely have few livelihood options.

He said those who venture beyond the protective trenches surrounding the towns to forage or farm do so at great peril, risked killings, abductions, forced recruitment and sexual and gender-based violence (GBV) rampant.

FALL therefore urged the government and other partners to provide more livelihood opportunities for IDPs in camps, alongside ongoing efforts for lasting solutions, to prevent future attacks.
