Nigeria’s World Cup Dreams Rekindled Amid DR Congo Eligibility Scandal. Nigeria’s hopes of qualifying for the 2026 FIFA World Cup have been reignited following reports that DR Congo may face sanctions for using ineligible players. In November, DR Congo defeated the Super Eagles on penalties to secure Africa’s spot in the Intercontinental Playoffs. However, claims have emerged that several DR Congo players who switched nationalities did not complete the necessary eligibility procedures. Because DR Congo does not recognize dual citizenship, these players may have violated FIFA rules by failing to formally renounce their previous nationalities.

The statement clarified that any action taken by NAFDAC or other agencies on the matter without prior clearance from the SGF is invalid and should be disregarded by the public until a final directive is issued. Nigerians were assured that legislative resolutions, economic implications, public health concerns, and broader national interest considerations are being carefully examined. NAFDAC had earlier announced that the production and sale of alc%holic beverages in sachets and bottles smaller than 200 millilitres would be prohibited by December 2025, citing the misuse of cheap alc%holic drinks among youths and drivers. However, the National Assembly has repeatedly called for a suspension of the ban pending further review. A December 1 letter from the SGF’s Permanent Secretary, Mohammed Danjuma, to the Coordinating Minister of Health, Professor Muhammad Pate, and NAFDAC Director-General, Mojisola Adeyeye, requested their comments to enable an informed decision. The public will be formally informed once the SGF reaches a final position on the matter.

SGF Orders immediate Halt on Sachet Alc%hol Ban Pending Final Decision. The Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (OSGF) has directed a temporary suspension of all enforcement actions relating to the planned ban on sachet alc%holic beverages. The move follows an official correspondence from the House of Representatives Committee on Food and Drugs Administration and Control concerning the proposed restrictions. In a statement on Monday, the OSGF, through its Special Adviser on Public Affairs, Terrence Kuanum, said the letter from the Committee, dated November 13, 2025, and signed by Deputy Chairman Uchenna Okonkwo, is currently under review. The Office emphasized that the matter is being considered “in line with its statutory coordinating role as Chairman of the Cabinet Secretariat.”

“The key issue is the renewed tension arising from concerns and allegations raised by Alhaji Aliko Dangote against the NMDPRA. We are guarding hard-won stability; sustainable solutions require identifying critical issues, hence our invitation to Dangote and the NMDPRA leadership,” he said. He added that petitions received by the committee touch on the issuance of import licences and questions over whether domestic refineries can meet Nigeria’s daily petroleum demand. According to him, all outstanding matters will be thoroughly examined when refinery operators and regulatory stakeholders appear before the committee. (NAN)

The House of Representatives Joint Committee on Petroleum Resources has invited the Dangote Refinery and the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA) to address disagreements threatening Nigeria’s downstream petroleum sector. Chairman of the committee, Ikenga Ugochinyere, disclosed this after an emergency meeting held in Abuja on Monday, warning that rising tensions could undermine the fragile stability recently achieved in the sector. Ugochinyere said the committee must act swiftly as the country continues efforts to stabilise petroleum supply, pricing and regulation in the post-subsidy era.

Dangote broke down the costs, estimating $200,000 per child annually for tuition, airfare, and upkeep totaling $800,000 per year for all four children. Over six years, this amounted to $4.8 million, which Dangote rounded to $5 million. He also noted tertiary education expenses, estimating $125,000 per year per child over four years, amounting to $2 million in total. Faisal Farouk’s 2025 Harvard MBA alone reportedly cost $210,000, including tuition and living expenses. Dangote questioned the source of the funds, adding that “Nigerians deserve to know the source of the money paid by a public officer while many parents in his home state of Sokoto cannot afford to pay N10,000 school fees for their children and wards.”
