President Bola Tinubu’s campaign promise in 2022 was clear: “If I do not provide steady electricity in my first four years, do not vote for me for a second term.” Yet, in January 2026 alone, the national grid has already collapsed twice, and Last year, it collapsed about twelve times.

My Personality of 2025: Taiwo Oyedele

In 2023, while writing Economics with Uncle Tunde, I was deciding who to ask for book reviews. I needed people who truly understood fiscal and monetary policy.

Taiwo came to mind. Former boss. Tax expert. Author. Already leading the Fiscal Policy Reform Committee at the time.

I hesitated because of how busy he was, but I sent the manuscript anyway. By the next day, he had responded. Not just with a review, but with detailed corrections and suggestions to make the book better. He was the first to respond.

That reminded me that excellence is never accidental.

The same traits show up clearly in his work on tax reform today. Calm. Patient. Thorough. Focused on education over noise. Despite provocation, he remains measured and objective.

I cannot recall a policy reform in Nigeria that came with this level of public explanation and engagement. That did not happen by chance.

Nigeria last attempted to consolidate laws at this scale with the Petroleum Industry Act (PIA), and that took nearly 20 years. This effort has taken about three.

Reforms of this scale are never painless, but history will judge this effort more kindly than the present noise suggests.

For his professionalism, discipline, and quiet excellence under pressure, Taiwo Oyedele is my Personality of 2025.

“If I don’t see this case (Yahaya Bello’s case) through, I won’t have any moral rights to accuse anybody of corruption in Nigeria. In fact, EFCC should be proscribed. I will resign..."

Dear EFCC chairman, what changed?

@officialABAT We only need you to fight corruption. Because looted funds alone can bring us back to wealth. A serious government will begin by blocking all leakages in the government sector and then legislate laws to punish offenders of corruption. after he will now go after all past leaders

[Lucky Israel @Israel_O22]

@NigeriaStories Same Students that are exempted are complaining. See the truth is whoever has issues with this tax reform is not well informed about the tax laws. This is why it is very important you read for yourself and don’t go about the narratives people are pushing around.

New Tax Laws will Commence on January 1, 2026 as Planned.

[President Bola Ahmed Tinubu Media Centre @PBATMediaCentre]

NEW TAX LAWS WILL COMMENCE ON JANUARY 1, 2026 AS PLANNED

The new tax laws, including those that took effect on June 26, 2025, and the remaining acts scheduled to commence on January 1, 2026, will continue as planned.

These reforms are a once-in-a-generation opportunity to build a fair, competitive, and robust fiscal foundation for our country.

The tax laws are not designed to raise taxes, but rather to support a structural reset, drive harmonisation, and protect dignity while strengthening the social contract.

I urge all stakeholders to support the implementation phase, which is now firmly in the delivery stage.

Our administration is aware of the public discourse surrounding alleged changes to some provisions of the recently enacted tax laws.

No substantial issue has been established that warrants a disruption of the reform process. Absolute trust is built over time through making the right decisions, not through premature, reactive measures.

I emphasise our administration's unwavering commitment to due process and the integrity of enacted laws. The Presidency pledges to work with the National Assembly to ensure the swift resolution of any issue identified.

I assure all Nigerians that the Federal Government will continue to act in the overriding public interest to ensure a tax system that supports prosperity and shared responsibility.

@Mazi_Chinonso1 This is how MTN reassigned or resold my MTN to another person after I traveled out of the country.
I queried MTN. They told me it's NCC directive to all network providers to reassign dormant numbers after 3 months.

That policy is a dangerous policy. Whosoever suggested that

@TENIBEGILOJU202 As long as the Northern politicians keeps education far away from their youth. The insecurity in those regions will never stop. He didn’t plead for jobs to be created for them or enabling environment for them to farm but instead he said they should be included in the budget.
