For the first time in Nigeria’s history under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the country is witnessing a major transition from importing finished solar panels to local solar assembly and manufacturing, marking a significant step towards energy independence, industrial growth, and renewable energy expansion.

WINS:

• About eight solar manufacturing and assembly companies have emerged across the country.

• New solar production hubs are growing around the Lagos-Shagamu axis, with companies like PV Panels, AfriCell, and Tricell commencing operations.

• Made-in-Nigeria solar panels produced in Ketu, Lagos, are already being exported to other African countries.

• Locally manufactured panels now feature scannable barcode technology to improve quality control, traceability, and prevent substandard or recycled products.

• FG launched a major public-private rural electrification initiative backed by a $750 million public fund expected to attract $1.1 billion in private sector investment.

• The programme aims to provide electricity access to 17.5 million Nigerians through the deployment of 1,350 mini-grids nationwide. Over 1,000 mini-grids have already been developed across the country.

• Recent milestones include the commissioning of a 704-kilowatt mini-grid in Olamaboro and the groundbreaking of three interconnected mini-grids expected to generate about 29 megawatts of electricity.

JUST IN: Tinubu Invested Heavily In Media, He Started Television, Started Radio And Was Fully Prepared—Momodu

Veteran journalist, media entrepreneur and publisher Dele Momodu has offered fresh insights into the political journey of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, arguing that the Nigerian leader’s ascent to the nation’s highest office was driven not only by political calculations but also by years of deliberate investment in media influence and public communication platforms.

Momodu made the remarks during an interview on Niger Unfiltered, a programme aired on SYMFONI TV, where he reflected on the factors that contributed to Tinubu’s emergence as one of the most influential political figures in contemporary Nigeria.

According to the Ovation Magazine publisher, Tinubu spent many years carefully building a network of political relationships and media structures that eventually became important assets in his quest for national leadership. He suggested that the president’s approach was not accidental but rather the product of a long-term strategy designed to strengthen his public profile and political reach.

Momodu noted that Tinubu appeared to have drawn lessons from the political career of the late Chief Moshood Kashimawo Olawale (MKO) Abiola, one of Nigeria’s most prominent political figures. He argued that Tinubu closely studied Abiola’s influence, popularity and methods of engagement with the public, and subsequently developed a framework that incorporated similar elements while adapting them to changing political realities.

The veteran journalist explained that one of the most significant aspects of Tinubu’s strategy was his investment in media platforms. According to him, the president recognized early on the critical role that information dissemination and narrative control play in modern politics.

He stated that Tinubu expanded his influence beyond conventional political activities by supporting ventures in newspaper publishing, television broadcasting and radio operations.

These investments, Momodu argued, helped create channels through which political messages could be communicated effectively while also broadening the former Lagos governor’s visibility and influence across the country.

In Momodu’s assessment, the ability to shape public discourse became one of Tinubu’s strongest political assets.

He maintained that the president understood the importance of establishing structures capable of sustaining political relevance over a long period, particularly in a competitive and often unpredictable political environment.

The media entrepreneur described Tinubu as a politician known for meticulous planning and strategic thinking. According to him, the president rarely embarks on major political projects without first evaluating potential challenges and preparing responses to them.

He suggested that Tinubu’s rise was the result of years of careful preparation rather than short-term political maneuvering. Building alliances, cultivating loyal political associates and investing resources in strategic sectors were all part of a broader effort to position himself for future leadership opportunities, Momodu said.

The veteran publisher further observed that Tinubu consistently demonstrated an ability to anticipate political developments and adapt accordingly. This, he argued, contributed to the perception among supporters and observers that the president possessed exceptional political instincts and organizational skills.

Drawing comparisons between Tinubu and the late MKO Abiola, Momodu noted that both figures achieved significant levels of influence that extended beyond politics. He explained that Abiola was widely regarded as a national figure whose popularity cut across regional and social boundaries, creating an image that resonated with millions of Nigerians.

According to Momodu, Tinubu appeared determined to cultivate a comparable reputation, gradually building a political network and public identity capable of

This is the kind of post that would make the average mid-wit blush

The IMF is not some secret mastermind crippling african countries by asking it to implement common sense policies that virtually every other country with similar climate had to do to industrialize. It is simply making suggestions based on praxeological predictions. It is up to the country to save itself from perpetual wretchedness and actually go through the pain of national building or succumb to pseudo intellectual critics with no sound knowledge on the subject matter

To suggest that the unification of exchange rate is somehow only good for investors and deeply catastrophic for the common man is to show your fundamental misunderstanding of both the subject and its varying temporal effect. In other words, your fallacious assumption that because of the current short temporal pain we should abandon the path to future prosperity.

And your equally laughably misrepresentation of the unification as the real driver for the 1400 price, while ignoring the true culprit: The massive 30 trillion naira printing, an act of fiscal treason and a complete disregard for the nation’s future.

To put it plainly for the people that liked your post, the unification was not what led to the 1400 stabilization. It was the “ways and means” fiscal policy.

Isn’t it funny that you rely on the ignorance of your followers, who will gobble outwardly seemingly decent takes due to their reflexive distrust for the west

What you want is the continued distortion of the Nigerian economy, where no real value or productivity is added to the economy, where there is chronic rent seeking, where the corrupt leeches you blindly advocate for get cheap rate from the bank and then sell it at the true rate you wanted to avoid, where there is uneven supply to the real market - the black market, creating even more scarcity (another driver for the weaker rate you can’t stop bitching about)

That sounds like something someone who supports corrupt elites would want. Pretty contradictory to your moral tone, if you ask me.

The World Cup begins tomorrow, and many will watch the matches. Soccer reminds us of something we must not forget: life is not a race to show off on our own, but a path we learn to walk together. Anyone who does not know how to pass the ball, even if they have talent, has not yet understood the game. Anyone who does not know how to live with and for others has not yet understood life. #ApostolicJourney
