Princess Edna Azura, who was special guest of honour at the multiple purpose cooperative 10th anniversary commended the society for it’s resilience and focus in improving the state of their members who are majorly women.
She praised their developmental initiatives which have helped empowered many women and assured them of continuous support from women umbrella organization.
In her words:” l am very proud of what you have done as a group, you have been steadfast, resilience and focused and your existence for the last ten years is a clear confirmation that you have grown and ready to move to the next level of journey.Please continue the good work.”
Earlier in her address,the president of the green and gold multiple purpose cooperative society, Mrs Rahab Abbas said ” today,we gather to reflect on our journey, celebrate our achievements, and look forward to a brighter future.
” Over the past decade, our cooperative has grown from a small group of women with shared vision to a thriving organization that has empowered women. We have worked tirelessly to promote economic independence, social justice, and women’s rights.” She added
On the achievements of the group over the years, Mrs Rahab Abbas stated, ” through our cooperative, we have provided training, financial assistance, and support to women, enabling them to start and grow their own businesses. We have also advocated for policies and programs that benefit women.
” Our impact extends beyond economic empowerment.We have created a safe space for women to share their experiences, support one another, and build last relationships.” Abass also observes
In his speech the chairman of the occasion, Dr Ogah Inalegwu, expressed excitement to see a group of women who have chosen against
all odds to carve a niche and break fallow grounds in their quest for a better life,
not just for only themselves but for others as well.
According to him l am privileged to have known the group right from it’s formative days and am
proud to state without doubts that am impressed on your milestone.
“Today serves as an opportunity for me to speak to a group of very enlightened
women, with a heart accommodative to learn. I will not forgo the opportunity to
share practical discussions and a charge to push you even further in my desire to
see you grow.”
“It is believed that the illiterate of the 21st century are not the people who are
unable to read and write, but the one who are unable to unlearn what they have
learnt, and re-learn what is needed for the present situation.”
“If a woman is empowered then a nation is liberated, so I beseech and challenge
you to kindly have it in mind that to be empowered, there is a need to be
financially liberated, to be liberated financial then multiple streams of income
becomes the basic language.
My question then becomes what can you, yes you do to earn additional income?
I want this answers personalized and implemented, I have had reason to push a
couple of people, women inclusive to start and sustain income generating
steams, I want to pledge my desire in any way I can to members of the group or
invitees to be available on personal grounds if contacted.
I won’t want to take all your precious time, even if you can’t remember
anything I said today, please just take home these words ‘To be a good person
and help others you need to be financially free and one empowered woman
equals a prosperous nation’.” He further noted
As part of the program was a N10 million naira fundraising appeal empowerment scheme to support more women .
The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, NNPCL, has slashed its fuel pump price for the second time within four days.
A market survey on Saturday by DAILY POST showed that NNPCL retail outlets around Airport Junction and Wuse Zone 6 (Berger) in Abuja have reduced their petrol price to N1210 per litre, down from N1260.
This means that the state-owned oil firm slashed the petrol price by N50 per litre.
This comes barely two days after Dangote Refinery reduced its petrol gantry price by N50 to N1,125 per litre.
Recall that four days ago, NNPCL had adjusted its fuel price pump by N75 per litre to N1260.
With the latest drop by NNPCL retail outlets, petrol prices stand between N1210 per litre and N1305 per litre in Abuja and its environs.
The reduction in domestic fuel comes amid falling crude oil prices, which stand at $69 per barrel and $71 per barrel for West Texas Intermediate and Brent crude, respectively, following the easing of the conflict in the Middle East.
Recall that President Bola Tinubu has kept mum amid the clamour by Nigerians for a commensurate drop in domestic fuel pump prices due to the significant reduction in crude oil prices.
The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has said it is yet to receive the Certified True Copy, CTC, of the Federal High Court judgment that set aside an earlier order directing it to register the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, as a political party.
INEC revealed this in a statement issued on Saturday by its Chief Press Secretary and Media Adviser to the Chairman, Adedayo Oketola.
According to the commission, although it is aware of media reports on the judgment delivered by the Federal High Court sitting in Lokoja on June 26, it cannot comment on the ruling until it obtains and reviews the certified copy.
The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, is aware of reports circulating in the media regarding the judgment delivered on Friday, June 26, 2026, by the Federal High Court sitting in Lokoja, which set aside an earlier order concerning the registration of the Nigeria Democratic Congress.
“However, as of this moment, the Commission has not yet received the Certified True Copy, CTC, of the court’s order,” the statement said.
INEC stated that its legal department would study the judgment upon receipt of the CTC before advising the commission on the next course of action.
“Once the Commission’s legal department receives and thoroughly studies the CTC of the judgment, INEC will take an informed, lawful decision in line with the court’s directives.
“Until then, we cannot comment on the specifics of the ruling, and the public is urged to await the Commission’s formal position on the matter,” Oketola added.
Justice Isah Dashen of the Federal High Court in Lokoja had on Friday set aside the court’s December 10, 2025, judgment directing INEC to register the NDC as a political party.
The court held that the rights of the Peace Movement Party were affected by the earlier judgment because it was not joined in the suit despite claiming ownership of the logo relied upon in securing the registration order.
Justice Dashen consequently ordered that all parties be restored to the positions they occupied before the December 2025 judgment and directed that the substantive suit be heard afresh with all necessary parties joined.
The NDC has rejected the ruling and announced plans to appeal the decision. Its National Chairman, Senator Moses Cleopas, maintained that the party had not been deregistered and argued that the trial court lacked jurisdiction to revisit a matter on which it had already delivered a final judgment.
The ruling has also attracted reactions from opposition figures, including the NDC’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi, the party’s National Leader, Senator Henry Dickson, and other stakeholders, who described the decision as a threat to Nigeria’s multiparty democracy and vowed to challenge it through all available legal channels.
INEC, however, maintained that it would reserve its position on the judgment until it receives and reviews the Certified True Copy.
