*Urges PENGASSAN, NUPENG, others to remain vigilant  Former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar has criticised President Bola Ahmed Tinubu-led  federal government over its handling of the OPL 245 dispute, describing recent claims of a “final resolution” as misleading. In a statement released on Sunday, the Atiku Media Office said a fresh legal move by Malabu Oil and Gas Limited shows the matter is still far from settled, contrary to earlier assurances by government officials. The statement pointed to a pre-action notice issued by Malabu through its counsel, Chief R.O. Atabo (SAN), which it said challenges the narrative of closure being promoted by the Attorney-General of the Federation, Lateef Fagbemi. According to the statement, the dispute remains active in court, with cases still pending before the Supreme Court and the Federal High Court.  It also raised concerns that Malabu, described as a key stakeholder in the oil block, was not involved in any negotiation l...

In the pre-action notice dated March 17, 2026, and addressed to the Commission Chief Executive of the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission, Malabu, acting through its counsel, warned against any regulatory recognition, approval or implementation of arrangements concerning OPL 245 while several suits over the asset remain pending in court.  The letter, written by R. O. Atabo, SAN, LL.D, on behalf of the majority shareholders and directors of Malabu Oil and Gas Limited, stated that the comp...

Frank, in a strongly worded statement, accused the UK government of being “complicit” in Nigeria’s challenges, insisting that the timing of the visit, barely 24 hours after reported killings, showed a lack of empathy for grieving Nigerians. “I wonder how President Tinubu could travel barely 24 hours after people were killed,” Frank said. “At a time when the whole world is expressing concern over the tragedy in Nigeria, he and his retinue of Ministers and top security officials chose to go on a state visit - celebrating and drinking champagne - while Nigerians are dying.” He described the trip as one that had caused ...
