Insecurity Troubles Me More Than Anything Else in Nigeria — Pres. Tinubu
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu says insecurity remains his deepest concern, warning that without rebuilding trust, Nigeria will continue to face worsening security challenges, economic setbacks, and widening educational gaps.
The President, represented by House Speaker Abbas Tajudeen, spoke in Kaduna at the 25th Anniversary of the Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) and the launch of its Endowment Fund.
In his address titled “A Generation Summoned by a Crisis,” Tinubu said his administration inherited severe security problems but is tackling them with urgency. “Nothing troubles me more gravely than the security crisis bedevilling Nigeria, especially Northern Nigeria.
Affliction in any part of the country is a setback for all,” he said, noting that the scale of the crisis is daunting but solvable. He urged Northern leaders to remain honest and courageous, saying the region must not abandon its duty to protect the vulnerable. “We fail the day we sleep comfortably while millions sleep hungry—the day fear becomes a permanent companion for travellers,” he said.
The President stressed that although decades of dysfunction have fractured unity, the North’s ethnic and religious diversity remains a source of strength. He reaffirmed his government’s commitment to eliminating t+rrorist and bandit groups and reversing the region’s economic decline.
Tinubu expressed optimism about Northern Nigeria’s future, saying he looks forward to crude oil flowing from Kolmani and other Northern fields. He highlighted ongoing investments in critical infrastructure, including the Abuja–Kaduna–Kano Superhighway, expected to be inaugurated in Kano soon.
He noted that each generation faces its defining challenge and that today’s task is confronting the North’s security c@llapse and erosion of communal values. Tinubu praised the ACF for 25 years of principled advocacy and for remaining a stabilising voice in national affairs.
The Central Bank of Nigeria should listen to Aliko Dangote. He knows what he is talking about. This is a man who is singularly responsible for 15% of Lagos State's GDP and 4% of Nigeria's GDP. If he says the Interest Rate is too high, he has the experiential and practical knowledge to support his claims. If he is complaining, imagine what those further down the food chain in the Private Sector are feeling. If the private sector is not comfortable with this policy, wealth inequality will increase in Nigeria, and we only need to look at Kenya to see the outcome of that. A wise man learns from the mistakes of his neighbour. An unwise man waits to learn from his own errors. Preventive action is necessary, failing which Presidential intervention is required.

There’s no single gain in cult!sm…
Here’s the story of Tunde, a course-mate in UNN, who “belonged.”
In our first semester, first year, Tunde was appointed the Class Rep of the Dept (have to withhold the Dept name for obvious reasons).
Some odds favored him to be the Class Rep - the HOD wanted him. He’s one of the 3 students from South west in the class. He’s amongst the earliest arrivals and he was pretty serious at the time.
He was reappointed in Year two. But mid into the first semester of second year, he started changing. His punctuality to classes dropped. He was lagging behind in most of his responsibilities - as a class rep.
Tunde had a girlfriend named Sharon, in second semester of first year. She’s Igbo and prolly one of the most beautiful girls in the dept. Their relationship didn’t get pronounced and noticed until first semester of second year. Sharon moved in with him off campus. So, they’re always coming to classes together.
But when Tunde changed, we noticed Sharon was coming to classes alone sometimes. No one knew why. I possibly couldn’t have known cos we were never close.
EFCC Hands over 14 Forfeited Properties to Enugu State
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC on Wednesday, April 24, 2024, handed over 14 properties initially forfeited to the Federal Government and now ceded to the government and people of Enugu State.
The transfer of the properties to Enugu State Governor, Dr Peter Mbah was performed by the Executive Chairman of EFCC, Mr Ola Olukoyede at the corporate headquarters of the Commission.
Speaking before the brief handover ceremony, Olukoyede who disclosed that the road to the forfeiture dated back to 2007, stated that the event spoke of the mutually beneficial relationship existing between the federal government and states.
“What we are witnessing today testifies to a symbiotic relationship that should exist between the federal government and the state governments. The essence of our meeting here today is for us to hand over properties that were forfeited to the federal government, which of course belong to Enugu State people back to the people. It shows that governance can work in Nigeria. Our people deserve the benefits of good governance and that is what is being evidenced here today.
Speaking further, he said, “If you look at the history of this particular matter, it takes us back to 2007 when we started the prosecution. So we are looking at about 17 years since the matter has been on. Eventually, some of the properties were forfeited and since then, the EFCC has been managing those properties even though the titles of quite a number of the properties have been revoked by the Enugu State government. What we are witnessing here today is the official handing over of the properties to the people of Enugu State through His Excellency, Dr Peter Mbah,” Olukoyede said.
Earlier in his remarks, Governor Mbah expressed gratitude for the handover and thanked the EFCC chair and the Commission for ensuring that the people of his state reclaimed their common patrimony.
“I would like to express my profound gratitude for the event we are witnessing today. The importance and significance of this event can never be lost on us and we do not also take it for granted. So I want to take this opportunity to convey my profound gratitude and deep appreciation to the chairman and members of the EFCC team who have brought us to where we are today. This is a journey that began several years ago and we are marking a formal closure to that journey here today. A journey that saw the successful prosecution of certain companies in possession of assets belonging to the people of Enugu State,"
The governor who noted that the properties were forfeited not to his state but to the federal government expressed gratitude to President Bola Tinubu for making it possible for them to be returned to the government and people of Enugu State.
“Those assets were forfeited to the federal government. And this brings me to another gratitude that I want to convey here today. I want to acknowledge and recognize the important role played by the President, His Excellency Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Without the proactiveness and speed at which he acted on our request to cede these assets back to the people and government of Enugu State, we wouldn’t have been here today. So I want to thank him most sincerely for granting our request for these assets that were forfeited to the federal government to be ceded back to Enugu State.
He lauded Olukoyede’s initiatives at making the EFCC a strong institution and cautioned against attempts by some individuals to distract the Commission. “I will not end this remark without acknowledging the work the EFCC chairman is doing in strengthening this very important institution. It is important that we do not weaken our institutions. Whatever we do in governance is transient. So I want to commend him for the efforts he is making in ensuring that this very important institution, the EFCC is strengthened. Thank you very much for all the great work you and your team are doing and particularly for the effort that you have put in to make today a reality,” the governor stated.
The properties comprise houses, transmission equipment for radio and television stations, a building for medical operations, among others.
@NiyiOyinlola@chilagmanuel@Calakand@Rainmaker1973 You don't get his point. He was simply saying we shouldn't make Africa look like one country. This is because, most European guys see Africa as one country
An Urgent Call for Healthcare Reform:
On a visit to Tungan Madaki Primary Healthcare Centre, Abuja today February 15, 2024, as part of World Sick Week, I saw the extent of our desperate need for massive reforms in the healthcare sector.
We now have a total of 47 nominees submitted to the Senate by the President for screening and confirmation as the ministers of the federal republic of Nigeria.
Still feeling under the weather 🤕. It gets worse as evening approaches.
However, after going through the comment section I've decided it's time to make the case for an ECOWAS intervention in Niger before analysing the capabilities of the potential belligerent of this crises.
The Government said they can no longer fund education and cannot give Scholarships.The Governments of Pakistan,Saudi,Iran,Sudan,Qatar and others will continue to give Nigerian students Scholarships and fund their education.I hope our Government will be happy with these burden off their neck and be ready to welcome the consequences of it.

Sad news: FG not Tinubu has signed 2023 Electricity Act that replaced EPSR act 2005. This act will bring about the de-monopolization of Nigeria’a electricity, generation, transmission and distribution of electricity at the National level and EMPOWER States, companies and individuals to generate, transmit and distribute electricity. So ask your Gov and financial experts to key into this. More jobs guys.
