Union Bank Employees Promote Cleaner Waterways and Coastlines With Beach Cleanup

Image
Union Bank of Nigeria, in furtherance of its commitment to building a cleaner and more sustainable environment, organised a beach cleanup in partnership with the Nigerian Conservation Foundation (NCF) at Alpha Community Beach, Lekki, Lagos, on July 3, 2026. Nigeria currently generates an estimated 2.5 million tonnes of plastic waste annually, with Lagos alone accounting for approximately 870,000 tonnes of that figure. More than 88 per cent of this waste is never recycled, and a significant proportion finds its way into rivers, lagoons, and the ocean, posing grave consequences for marine biodiversity and coastal communities. It is against this backdrop, and in direct alignment with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals on Responsible Consumption and Production (SDG 12) and Life Below Water (SDG 14), that Union Bank organised this exercise. The cleanup was held to mark the Bank's 2026 Employee Volunteer Day under its Employee Volunteering initiative, powered by UnionCares,...

Image
The Ethnic Nationalities for Peaceful Co-existence in Nigeria (ENPCN) has expressed deep concern over what appears to be conflicting public pronouncements by the Honourable Minister of Defence, General Christopher Gwabin Musa (Rtd.), regarding Nigeria's counter-terrorism strategy. In a statement signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Dr. Joe Idoko, ENPCN noted that as "a coalition committed to national unity, peacebuilding and harmonious coexistence among Nigeria's diverse ethnic nationalities, we believe that at a time when insecurity continues to threaten lives, livelihoods and national cohesion, senior government officials—particularly those entrusted with the nation's defence architecture—must communicate with clarity, consistency and strategic discipline." The group noted that "Within a short period, Nigerians were presented with two contrasting messages from the Minister. In Sokoto State, he directed troops not to wait for any order before shooting...
