The Ekiti State Governor and Chairman of the Nigeria Governors' Forum, Dr Kayode Fayemi, has said he is alerted to a plot by some individuals and political interests in the All Progressives Congress to activate a spate of negative media campaigns to discredit and portray him as unacceptable to the generality of the people. The Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Yinka Oyebode, advised those behind the plot to concentrate on their aspiration rather than engaging in character assassination. The Nigerian Constitution states clearly the qualifications for the position of the President of the country. Every qualified adult has the right to aspire to the number one position, but it is not appropriate to destroy the reputation of a fellow citizen who is perceived as a possible opponent. PUNCH is offering Nigerians up to $14,000- $17,000 (12 million+) in US Dollars through premium domain names and a sharp flusher to save their family from toilet snakes and poop blockages.

Despite government warnings against crowd-funding for ransoms, the practice continues to gain ground, with abductees and their families raising funds from relatives, friends, and social media to secure the release of kidnapped victims. Families of abductees disregarded the government's warnings, fearing the victims might be killed or harmed if they failed to pay the ransom. The Nigerian Police Force and Minister of Defence have warned against engaging in crowd-funding for ransoms.

The Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige, has said his Finance counterpart, Zainab Ahmed, will find means to pay the earned allowances to members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) due to the Federal Government's lack of money. ASUU had announced a four-week strike following the failure of the government to honour some of its long-standing demands. Ngige said the implementation of most of the union's demands were in progress. The meeting mandated a joint committee of ASUU, the National Universities Commission and the National Information Technology Development Agency to conduct an integrity test on the platform in conjunction with neutral experts. They are expected to conclude the test by March 8 and work on it within six weeks. If the Federal Government is in arrears on any tranche, the finance minister will look for money to pay, even though the Federal Government does not have money.
