Frontline Report

A member of the Kaduna State House of Assembly, Mahmud Lawal Ismaila, has officially withdrawn from the race for the House of Representatives seat in Zaria, citing party unity and directive from the state leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC). Ismaila, who represents Birnin Zaria Constituency and serves as Deputy Chief Whip as well as Chairman of the House Committee on Education, announced his decision on Sunday, April 26, 2026, shortly after receiving widespread support from stakeholders and residents across Zaria for his ambition. In a statement, the lawmaker expressed deep gratitude to Allah for the opportunity and to the people of Zaria for the overwhelming show of love, support, and confidence in his aspiration to represent them at the National Assembly. However, he said his decision to step down followed a directive from Governor Uba Sani, whom he described as a father and leader, urging him to support the APC candidate, Iyan Zazzau, in order to ensure vic...

By Muazu Abubakar Albarkawa, Kaduna  The race toward the 2027 governorship election in Bauchi State has taken a compelling turn with the emergence of former Minister of Foreign Affairs, Yusuf Maitama Tuggar, as a leading and formidable contender. With a rich blend of diplomatic experience, legislative background, and deep grassroots connection, Tuggar’s candidacy is fast becoming a symbol of hope, renewal, and purposeful leadership. Born on March 12, 1967, into a politically conscious family in Gamawa, Tuggar’s journey into leadership appears almost destined. His father, Abubakar Tuggar, was a respected political figure during Nigeria’s First Republic, laying a foundation of public service that has clearly influenced his path. From an early age, Tuggar was exposed to the values of leadership, responsibility, and national service principles that continue to define his career. Academically, Tuggar stands out as a man of intellect and global exposure. With a degree in inte...

The Kaduna State High Court sitting in Dogarawa, Zaria, has delivered a significant ruling in the ongoing defamation suit involving the Emir of Zazzau, Ahmed Nuhu Bamalli, and a former Wazirin Zazzau, Alhaji Ibrahim Muhammad Aminu, barring the claimant from being heard due to non-compliance with a court order. At the resumed sitting on Wednesday, the presiding judge, Justice Yakubu Badamasi, held that the claimant could not be granted the right of audience, having failed to comply with an earlier directive of the court. The court had previously imposed a fine of ₦200,000 on the claimant for lack of diligent prosecution, citing the inconvenience caused to defence counsel who travelled from Lagos, Abuja, and Kaduna. Despite the order, the claimant failed to settle the fine, prompting the court to invoke the legal principle that a party in disobedience of a subsisting court order cannot be heard until such contempt is purged. Consequently, the court adjourned the matter to Jun...

A new assessment of Nigeria’s artificial intelligence (AI) governance framework has revealed major regulatory gaps, raising fresh concerns over data privacy, national security and ethical standards as the adoption of AI continues to expand across key sectors of the economy. The report, presented on Thursday at the Federal Ministry of Finance in Abuja, identified critical challenges including weak regulatory oversight, lack of transparency, accountability deficits and the growing risk of algorithmic bias in decision-making systems. Stakeholders at the event also pointed to the absence of a comprehensive legal framework to guide the deployment and use of AI technologies in the country, warning that the rapid pace of innovation is outstripping existing governance structures. Speaking to journalists shortly after the presentation, the Executive Director of the Centre for Fiscal Transparency and Public Integrity, Dr. Umar Yakubu, said Nigeria is witnessing increasing adoption of...

The Kaduna State Government has successfully resolved the long-standing land ownership dispute surrounding Jama’atu School of Health Technology, Kofar Kibo, Zaria, by issuing a Certificate of Occupancy (C of O) to Jama’atu Nasril Islam (JNI), Zaria, under the Zazzau Emirate. The Certificate of Occupancy was issued by the Kaduna State Geographical Information Services (KADGIS), officially confirming the ownership of the school land to the Zazzau Emirate. Earlier today, Sheikh Makari Sa’idu led a delegation from the school’s Board to present the Certificate to the Emir of Zazzau, His Highness Malam Ahmed Nuhu Bamalli, CFR, at his palace. However, it was gathered that prior to the official issuance of the document, some individuals allegedly operating under the influence of certain former leaders of Jama’atu Nasril Islam, along with others previously dismissed from Jama’atu School of Health Technology had attempted to obtain the Certificate of Occupancy from KADGIS. Despite on...
