Governor Zulum Claims Some People Profit from Boko Haram Insurgency
Borno State Governor, Professor Babagana Zulum, has alleged that certain individuals are benefiting financially from the prolonged insurgency caused by Boko Haram and are reluctant to see it end.
In an interview with BBC Hausa, the governor lamented how these individuals, who profit from the crisis in the Northeast and neighboring Chad, are hindering efforts to combat the insurgency.
“There are people who don’t want this insecurity to end because they will not be happy with that,” Zulum stated.
While acknowledging progress in the fight against the insurgents, he expressed concern about the resurgence of Boko Haram fighters who have returned to the region after being driven out of Chad.
Zulum called for unity among citizens and urged them to support security agencies to tackle the menace effectively. However, the governor refrained from naming those allegedly profiting from the crisis.

South Korea’s Security Chief Calls for No Violence Despite Tensions Over Yoon’s Arrest
South Korea’s presidential security chief, Park Chong-jun, made a clear statement on Friday urging that there should be no violence or bloodshed if authorities try to execute another arrest warrant for impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol, following his failed attempt to impose martial law.
He refused to cooperate with investigators, and last week, a tense standoff occurred between his security forces and law enforcement officers attempting to arrest him.
Yoon’s actions during the attempted martial law declaration have led to insurrection charges.
“I understand the concerns of the public, seeing the government in such conflict and confrontation,” Park said.
“However, there must be no physical clashes or bloodshed in this situation.”
Investigators obtained a new arrest warrant for Yoon after the previous seven-day order expired on Monday, aiming to question him over charges related to insurrection.
However, despite this, Yoon’s supporters have rallied around him, even braving freezing temperatures outside the presidential residence to protect him.

Nigerian Government Cuts Minimum Wage Review Time from Five to Two Years
The Nigerian government has announced plans to shorten the minimum wage review cycle from five years to two, signaling a more frequent adjustment to align with economic realities.
This decision was revealed by the Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Nkeiruka Onyejeocha, during an address in Abia State.
Onyejeocha explained that the revised timeline is part of President Bola Tinubu’s commitment to improving the welfare of Nigerian workers.
She emphasized that the government is determined to ensure that wage reviews happen regularly and in a timely manner.
“We are no longer sticking to the old five-year schedule for minimum wage reviews,” Onyejeocha said.
“Instead, we will now revisit the minimum wage every two years, with the next review set for less than two years from now.”
