One of Nigeria’s revered pastors Enoch Adeboye has reacted to visa restrictions placed on Nigerians by the United States by praying for “the restoration of our nation.”
The General Overseer of The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) reacted to the ban on Sunday during the church’s monthly Thanksgiving Service in Lagos State.
The US had on Friday, January 31, implemented its threat to restrict travelers from Nigeria and five other countries, with the visa ban taking effect from 22 February.
“Nigeria presents a high risk, relative to other countries in the world, of terrorist travel to the United States,” the President Donald Trump administration said.
“Some countries have banned Nigerians from coming into their territories. We pray for the restoration of our nation. Lord, have mercy on Nigeria. Let there be peace and security in Nigeria. God sees all things and knows where the terrorists are hiding. We pray that God sends His light to Nigeria and expose the evildoers in the country,” the clergyman prayed.

Ganduje: Police Deny Plot To Undermine Kano Anti-Graft Commission – Lifestyle Nigeria
The Police Command in Kano State says its recall of Police Officers posted to Kano State Public Complaints and Anti-Corruption Commission (PCACC) was not meant to protect All Progressives Congress, APC national chairman, Dr Abdullahi Ganduje from the gaze of the commission.
Rather, the police said the action was because of a staff audit.
The Commissioner of Police, Usaini Gumel, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Kano on Friday that this was contrary to views in some quarters that the exercise was a political witch-hunt.
Gumel said rather it was meant to ascertain the exact number of police personnel seconded to the commission.
The police clarification follows reports that the police acted to protect Ganduje from further prosecution by the Kano Anti-Graft Commission.
He said the move was also meant to understand the reporting line and nature of duties assigned to each police officer since their deployment to the commission in 2015.
“The exercise was simply a response to series of reports received through the Command’s Complaint Response Unit (CRU).
“They portrayed policemen attached to the commission as being highhanded and deviating from the expected role of providing static guard and other duties at the commission.

MTN, GLO, AIRTEL, 9Mobile Seek Tariff Hike – Lifestyle Nigeria
Nigeria’s major telecommunications companies, including Glo, MTN, Airtel, and 9Mobile, have urged the federal government to facilitate a constructive dialogue to address pressing issues in the industry and notably, a hike in tariff rates.
In a joint statement by the Association of Licensed Telecommunications Operators of Nigeria (ALTON) and Association of Telecommunication Companies of Nigeria (ATCON), the telcos highlighted the need for a pricing framework that balances consumer affordability with operator financial viability.
The telcos pointed out that the current price control mechanism has not been reviewed in 11 years, despite economic hardships, due to regulatory constraints. This has threatened the industry’s sustainability and may erode investor confidence.
They emphasized the importance of a general service pricing framework that considers economic realities.
Additionally, the telcos expressed concerns about worsening security challenges affecting their services. They urged the government to prioritize the security of telecommunications infrastructure and collaborate with law enforcement agencies to combat vandalism, sabotage, and attacks on critical assets. The industry requires substantial investments in network expansion, maintenance, and technology upgrades.
ALTON Chairman, Mr. Gbenga Adebayo, and ATCON President, Mr. Tony Emoekpere, signed the statement, which emphasized the need for urgent government intervention to address these challenges and ensure the industry’s continued growth and contribution to Nigeria’s socioeconomic development.
