Arewa has the biggest set of hypocrites and you lot have also mastered the art of being loud about the wrong things.
Kidnappings and killings happen across the North regularly and most influencers, celebrities, and public figures suddenly lose their voices. But let there be gossip, a celebrity scandal, or news of a marriage crashing, and suddenly everyone has an opinion. It trends for days while real issues affecting people’s lives are ignored.
Some of the same people speaking up about the Oyo kidnappings today have looked away when similar tragedies happened in their own backyard.
Our problem isn't just insecurity. It's selective outrage. The hypocrisy is exhausting‼️
A part of Nigeria in pain should concern all of Nigeria. When one part of the body is injured, the entire body feels it. That’s how a nation should work‼️
It was an honor to participate in the National Women's Mega Empowerment and Rally, witnessing the sheer force of the #Powerof10Million movement firsthand. Under the visionary leadership of Her Excellency Senator @oluremitinubu, CON, First Lady of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, women's economic empowerment is taking its rightful place as a strategic pillar of national development.
Congratulations to the Honourable Minister of Women Affairs @hm_womenaffairs for driving this transformative agenda with such purpose and impact.
One Voice. One Movement. One Choice.
On this International Workers’ Day, we celebrate the unsung heroes whose daily dedication keeps our nation moving forward, especially the teachers, lecturers, and education workers who nurture young minds and build our future. Their passion and resilience in classrooms and institutions across the country continue to inspire hope and progress despite many challenges.
Happy May Day to every worker shaping a brighter tomorrow.
Today, I received Ms. Maria Gebriel, the newly appointed Head of Communication and Information at UNESCO, who paid a courtesy visit to my office on behalf of the Director-General. The warm and productive meeting underscored how far our partnership with UNESCO has advanced and the greater achievements that lie ahead.
Ms. Gebriel expressed appreciation for the ongoing collaboration and reaffirmed UNESCO’s commitment to supporting Nigeria’s education sector. Our conversation focused on ensuring no Nigerian child is left behind in the digital age, emphasizing the critical role of media, information literacy, and digital inclusion.
Honoured to participate in the Stakeholders Bootcamp on Basic Education in Jos alongside the Honourable Minister of Education, Dr. Maruf Tunji Alausa @DrTunjiAlausa, CON, Commissioners of Education and SUBEB Chairs from 36 States and FCT.
We are united under the theme “Enhancing Access to Inclusive Education and Bridging the Gap for Out-of-School Children in Nigeria” to tackle out-of-school children, weak learning outcomes, infrastructure gaps and teacher shortages with urgent innovative action.
Through the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu @officialABAT, we are strengthening curriculum delivery, teacher development, digital learning, open schooling and skills-based education via initiatives like LUMINA 2030, EduRevamp, Skill Up and Communities of Practice.
This bootcamp calls for stronger collaboration across government, development partners, civil society and the private sector to ensure no Nigerian child is left behind.
Today, I had the honour of opening the 2nd Annual National Conference of the Committee of Provosts of Colleges of Education in Nigeria.
This conference is a crucial moment for us to reflect on the future of our Colleges of Education and the changes we must make. Our graduates deserve more than certificates. They need practical skills, entrepreneurship training, and the ability to create jobs, not just seek them. That is why we are vigorously pursuing the Dual Mandate policy, enabling Colleges of Education to award both NCE and Bachelor’s degrees.
The Federal Ministry of Education @NigEducation remains committed to supporting initiatives that promote technical competence, digital literacy, and innovation within our Colleges of Education. We will continue to work closely with the National Commission for Colleges of Education and other relevant stakeholders to ensure that our institutions are adequately equipped to deliver on their mandate.
I urge all Provosts and stakeholders to align institutional policies and curricula with these priorities. Let us embrace innovation, foster collaboration, and ensure that our Colleges of Education become hubs for skills development, entrepreneurship, and educational excellence.
Happy Birthday, Hon. Minister Dr. Maruf Tunji Alausa @DrTunjiAlausa (CON)! 🎉
This is a moment to say what many of us already know but don't always say out loud. You are changing things. Quietly, steadily, and without fanfare. Education in Nigeria feels different under your watch, and those of us working closely with you can feel the shift happening in real time. You didn't come in to manage the status quo. You came in to raise the bar, and you've kept that energy even when it wasn't easy. That kind of consistency is rare in leadership, and it doesn't go unnoticed.
We see the late nights behind the decisions. We see the standard you hold yourself to, and how it challenges everyone around you to do the same. That's not a small thing. That's the kind of leadership that actually moves a nation.
On behalf of the Federal Ministry of Education @NigEducation, happy birthday to a brother we are genuinely proud to work with.
May this year bring you as much as you've given. May your health hold strong, your vision stay clear, and your impact keep growing.
Professor Suwaiba Said Ahmad
Hon. Minister of State for Education
I welcomed a high-level United Nations delegation led by Felipe Paullier, the UN Assistant Secretary-General for Youth Affairs. We had forward looking discussions on strengthening our education systems so that ideas become real change in classrooms, communities, and lives. A major focus was our ongoing work on Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) and how we are intentionally structuring it to give young people practical, relevant skills. We also reaffirmed our deep commitment to quality and inclusive education and shared the work we are driving through NESRI on key initiatives like Luminah 2030, SVCG, and EIBIC, all designed to open doors for our young people.
The United Nations reaffirmed its readiness to support Nigeria in building a more coherent and effective ecosystem, drawing from global experience but also learning from our realities here in Nigeria.
What a remarkable day at the 2026 Student Venture Capital Grant Finalist Bootcamp closing ceremony at UNDP Office, Ikoyi, Lagos. Standing alongside the Honourable Minister of Education, Dr Maruf Tunji Alausa CON @DrTunjiAlausa, my heart was full seeing these brilliant young Nigerians who completed this bootcamp with creativity, resilience, and the courage to think differently.
The truth is, our students are no longer waiting until graduation before they start contributing to society. They are innovating, building businesses and solving real problems right from within their institutions. The Student Venture Capital Grant is proof that when we invest in young minds, they rise to the occasion. Entrepreneurship is not just an educational initiative, it is a national strategy.
The Federal Government under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR through the Renewed Hope Agenda is committed to youth empowerment and this initiative reflects that commitment.
