I have directed the Armed Forces, the Nigeria Police Force, the Department of State Services, and all relevant security and intelligence agencies to launch a coordinated rescue operation immediately for the victims of the recent mass abduction in Niger State.
The Hausa people are great pillars that play a vital role in the unity and progress of Nigeria.
The Hausa language, without doubt, has flourished and has become a major language of unity and commerce across the world.
I congratulate the vast Hausa community on the occasion of Hausa Day, which is being celebrated at the historic Daura Palace today.

“CHEAPER FUEL MUST MEAN CHEAPER TRANSPORT FARES”: PRESIDENT TINUBU, GOVERNORS MOVE TO CUT TRANSPORT FARES NATIONWIDE
I am pleased with my discussion with the Governors’ Forum this afternoon. The Governors have, on their own initiative, resolved to take immediate measures to bring down the cost of transportation in their states, with a strong focus on leveraging the cost benefits of CNG and electric vehicles.
The Federal Government is already investing significantly in this energy transition. Through the Presidential CNG Initiative, over 120,000 vehicles have been converted nationwide, with more than 100,000 additional conversion kits in the works. At the same time, we continue to expand conversion centres and refuelling infrastructure nationwide.
The Federal Government, through the Midstream and Downstream Gas Infrastructure Fund, is currently financing more than 100 gas projects across the country, including 15 CNG mother stations and 86 daughter stations. In May, I commissioned four of these projects in Lagos, Abuja and Owerri, including a 15-station refuelling network in Lagos and an Abuja facility that can serve 1,000 cars and tricycles and 50 trucks and buses a day.
I have also directed the additional rollout of another 500 CNG refuelling stations nationwide in addition to the 500 stations ordered earlier in the year by the Fund, bringing the programme to 1,000 stations across the country.
Intra-state transport is where Nigerians feel the cost most directly, and it is where the states hold the levers. I am encouraged that our Governors are moving to bring these benefits closer to the people they serve.
We have agreed to set up a joint Federal and State committee to begin implementing these measures immediately. A vehicle running on CNG spends 60 to 80 per cent less on fuel than one running on petrol.
From October 1, our goal is that Nigerians begin to partake in those savings through lower transport fares.
We have agreed that cheaper fuel should result in cheaper fares!
Each tier of government must keep doing its part and work together for the benefit of every Nigerian.
Nigeria First.

For over three years, you embezzled the savings from fuel subsidy removal while poor Nigerians suffered in silence with no palliatives to ease their pain. Only now, after Atiku Abubakar promised to restore the subsidy if elected, do you suddenly remember that Nigerians need cheaper transport fares. Nigerians will not be deceived again. In 2027, we are voting for Atiku Abubakar.
Thank you, Atiku, for forcing them to remember their duty to the people.

When praying to God for wealth, don’t limit Him by asking for a fixed amount.
I once prayed and begged God for $100,000.
Today, that’s an amount I’m willing to risk on a single trade.
Pray for wisdom, opportunities, and the capacity to handle whatever He blesses you with.
I had the honour of attending the turbaning ceremony of Abubakar Balarabe Mahmoud, OON, SAN, as Garkuwan Kano earlier today.
The colourful and dignified event, held at the Emir’s Palace in Kano, also witnessed the conferment of the traditional title of Sarkin Fulanin Ja’idnawan Kano on Air Marshal Muhammad Dikko Umar (Rtd) by His Highness Muhammadu Sanusi II, PhD, CON, the Emir of Kano.
The ceremony was graced by His Excellency, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, GCFR, alongside a distinguished gathering of personalities from across the country. - RMK
