‘We’ve no hand in Uber’s exit’ – FAAN opens up on disputes with e-hailing firms

The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria, FAAN, has denied claims that it was responsible for Uber’s decision to discontinue its ride-hailing operations in Nigeria.

Tinubu will eat Peter Obi like biscuits If he goes against him alone Kenneth Okonkwo

Spokesman for the Atiku Abubakar presidential campaign, Kenneth Okonkwo, has said opposition parties will need to form a coalition if they hope to defeat President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election.
