EFCC Backlash: Nigeria’s anti-graft agency has “bowed” to calls for investigations after reports that EFCC operatives attacked medical staff at the University of Uyo Teaching Hospital during an inquiry tied to a medical report authentication—sparking outrage over alleged rights abuses and a pattern of controversial raids. Counterterror Strike: US and Nigerian forces killed a senior ISIS commander in a Sokoto operation, with President Trump calling it a major escalation in West Africa counterterror efforts. Power Push (Edo): TCN commissioned the Ihovbor/Benin and Ihovbor/Ajaokuta 330kV lines, adding 600MW to the national grid and easing bottlenecks in the Benin corridor. Regional Connectivity: Tinubu says Nigeria is building a 1,000km Sokoto–Badagry road linking Benin Republic and Ghana, using local cement to boost durability and local industry. Digital/Finance Momentum: Heirs Holdings’ firms (Heirs Life, Redtech, Heirs General Insurance) ranked among Financial Times Africa’s fastest-growing companies for 2026.
