One day, I hope to earn the privilege of serving Nigeria under President @officialABAT's administration. If that opportunity ever comes, I'd be honored to work alongside Barr. Nyesom Wike to help build an FCT that sets the standard for Africa. 🇳🇬
PBAT @officialABAT has been someone I’ve looked up to for a long time. I’ve followed his journey closely, and even my grandmother used to tell me about the kind of leader he was. I’m still learning from his journey today. 🇳🇬🫡
If you’re into finance and economics, do yourself a favour: listen a lot to Tinubu’s views on finance and economy. No one comes close.
I have about 40 clips of him on finance.
He’s a genius in finance, leadership and economics.
Also, consider doing an MBA; it will help!

This is the kind of economic vision I want to see for Nigeria.
Attracting billions in investment is only the beginning. The real victory is when that investment creates Nigerian companies, Nigerian jobs, Nigerian engineers, Nigerian technical expertise, and industrial capacity that remains here long after the project is completed.
This is how we build an economy that doesn't just export resources, but exports expertise.
Keep building, @officialABAT.
Dear Nigerians,
For many years, Nigeria has possessed some of the most promising deep offshore oil and gas resources in the world, yet several major developments have remained stalled. Oil lies beneath our waters. We have the engineers, businesses and young people capable of doing increasingly sophisticated work in the sector. What has often been missing is the certainty required for investors to commit billions of dollars, over many years, at the scale needed to turn that potential into production, jobs and opportunity for Nigerians.
We cannot afford to leave that opportunity beneath our waters for another decade.
I have therefore signed the Deep Offshore Oil and Gas Projects Incentives (Tax Remission) Order, 2026, to provide clear and predictable terms for a new generation of deep offshore investment in Nigeria.
The framework has the potential to unlock up to $50 billion in investment, beginning with the approximately $10 billion Bonga South West project. For existing deep offshore leases, there is a clear window to reach Final Investment Decision by 31 December 2029 and receive the full standard incentive available under the Order.
There is urgency to this work. Capital moves, and countries compete for it every day. The countries that attract long-term investment are not necessarily those with the greatest natural resources. They are the ones that provide the greatest certainty.
Nigeria must be one of those countries.
This Order marks the tenth major policy directive of my administration targeted specifically at the oil and gas sector. Each has dealt with a constraint holding back investment, production or value creation. Taken together, they represent a deliberate effort to make our oil and gas industry more competitive, attract capital back to Nigeria and ensure that more of the value created from our resources remains here at home.
But attracting investment is only half of my purpose.
I want the work that comes with these projects to come home to Nigeria. I want our engineers involved, our fabrication yards working, our marine and technical service companies securing contracts, and our young people acquiring skills that will remain valuable long after the first barrel is produced.
The Order reflects this priority. For projects accessing its supplementary incentives, activities are to be performed in Nigeria, subject to clearly defined exceptions and Nigerian Content requirements.
My ambition is that we use this new investment cycle to build Nigeria into Africa’s regional hub for deep offshore project execution. We should not only possess the resources. We should increasingly possess the skills, businesses and industrial capacity required to develop them.
When I engaged the Chief Executive Officer of Shell plc, Mr Wael Sawan, I directed my team to look beyond a solution for one company or one project. We needed a framework that could unlock a wider pipeline of investment while protecting Nigeria’s long-term interests.
That framework is now in place.
Ultimately, I will judge its success by what Nigerians see from it in terms of good jobs, stronger Nigerian businesses, greater production, increased revenues for the Federation and new capabilities built here at home.
Our natural resources must work harder for our people.
That is the purpose of this decision, and we will pursue it with urgency.
Nigeria First.

This is one of the reasons I’m building Havr for Nigerians.
I want the value we create to stay within Nigeria and contribute to our own economy.
And when Havr is ready to go public, my vision is for it to be listed on the Nigerian Exchange (NGX), not a foreign exchange.
I want Havr to be built in Nigeria, owned by Nigerians, and ultimately create value for Nigeria. 🇳🇬🏦
Follow, @havrmfb & @Havrgroup
OPay is worth $4B, and all of its wealth is built in Nigeria.
PalmPay is worth $1B, with Nigeria as the only market.
OPay wants to list in the US stock.
PalmPay eyes China stock.
You make money here, but want us left out of the gains?
We’ll fight this!
@aonanuga1956 The government of Nasarawa State is making real efforts. I’ve seen a lot of progress, and it’s encouraging to see the state moving in the right direction
Imagine Nigeria having its own Wall Street. A generation of young Nigerians building companies, trading capital, managing investments, and creating wealth from right here at home.
God strengthen @officialABAT
