I was honored to declare open the 2026 Caliphate Bar Law Week of the Nigerian Bar Association, Sokoto Branch, themed “Secured Nation, Secured Future.”
Our administration remains steadfast in strengthening the justice sector—promoting judicial independence, improving infrastructure, and enhancing access to justice for all. From the promotion of judges and Khadis to the ongoing construction of a new High Court complex and support for the Shari’ah Court of Appeal, we are laying a solid foundation for a more efficient and responsive system.
I commend the NBA Sokoto Branch for its unwavering commitment to the rule of law and legal excellence. I also appreciate the presence and insights of the Honourable Attorney-General of the Federation, whose call for grassroots justice and stronger community-based solutions resonates deeply with our vision. -AAS
The new CNG station in Delta State is set to serve up to 2,000 vehicles daily, supporting the push for cheaper and cleaner transport in the state.
Located in Asaba and Warri, the facilities will also function as CNG conversion hubs, enabling motorists to transition from petrol to a more affordable energy option.
The initiative reinforces the drive for lower transport costs, cleaner energy, and improved mobility for Deltans, as part of ongoing efforts under the MORE Agenda.
From Ekiti to Africa, and soon, to the World.
I received our African Spelling Bee Champion, 14-year-old Adeolu Oluwadamilola Ooreofe of St. Lawrence Metropolitan College.
Her journey from 5th place in 2025 to the 1st place crown in 2026 defines Ekiti’s resilient character.
We remain committed to strengthening an education system that produces global ambassadors. Congratulations, Oluwadamilola.
PRESS RELEASE
OGUN STATE GOVERNMENT RESPONDS TO FLOODING ALONG IPERU–ILISHAN ROAD
The Ogun State Government wishes to address the flooding incidents recently observed along the Iperu–Ilishan Road corridor and to reassure residents and road users of ongoing efforts to resolve the situation promptly.
Preliminary assessments indicate that the flooding recorded at a tiller-seller’s shop in Iperu Town occurred largely because the structure is situated below the current road level. This was further compounded by the obstruction of the drainage channel in front of the shop, which impeded the free flow of stormwater and led to overflow.
Further assessment revealed that a heap of laterite, remnants from earlier construction works, clogged sections of the drainage channel along the corridor. This obstruction significantly impeded the discharge of stormwater and contributed to the flooding experienced.
It is also important to note that the intensity of the rainfall at the time was unusually high, which increased stormwater volume.
In response, His Excellency, the Governor of Ogun State, Prince Dapo Abiodun, CON has directed the immediate mobilization of equipment to site to clear all clogged sections, remove laterite blockages, and fully open up the affected drainage channels, including the outfall/discharge channels away from the road, to restore the free flow of stormwater.
As an interim measure, labourers have already been deployed and are currently clearing and packing the accumulated sand and laterite from the drainage paths, pending the arrival of a grader and other heavy-duty equipment to expedite the process and ensure a thorough cleanup.
We are pleased to inform the public that the water has since receded, and the road surface is now dry.
The Ogun State Government remains committed to ensuring effective drainage management and maintaining critical infrastructure across the state. Residents are kindly advised to refrain from indiscriminate dumping of refuse in drainage channels, as this significantly affects their functionality.
We appreciate the understanding and cooperation of the public as these remedial efforts continue.
Signed:
Engr. Ade Akinsanya
Commissioner for Works, Ogun State

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, ably represented by the Vice President, His Excellency @officialSKSM, paid a condolence visit to Kebbi State over the recent bandits’ attack in Shanga Local Government Area and the demise of the Speaker, Kebbi State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Muhammad Usman-Zuru.
We deeply appreciate this show of solidarity, compassion, and shared grief from the Federal Government at this difficult time. The loss of our gallant security personnel and our dear Speaker is painful, but we remain resolute in our commitment to the safety and wellbeing of our people.
We thank Mr. President for his continued support and assurance that the Federal Government is doing everything possible to address the security challenges. Kebbi State will continue to work closely with all relevant stakeholders to ensure lasting peace and stability.
May Almighty Allah grant the fallen heroes and the late Speaker Aljannatul Firdaus, and give their families the strength to bear these irreparable losses.
Today, I joined my brother, Governor Inuwa Yahaya, to commission several landmark infrastructural projects across Gombe State.
From the 33km Kaltungo-Balanga road to the modern Tsangaya School at Bakasi, these initiatives reflect a shared commitment to regional development and human capital.
Governor Sheriff has reaffirmed a zero-tolerance approach to any form of illegal levies also known as ‘deve’ or activities capable of hindering government or private sector projects across the state. The focus remains clear, protect ongoing works, ensure due process, and keep development on track.
In Delta, it is work and nothing that stands in the way of progress will be allowed to stand.
The General Manager of LASCOPA has urged Lagosians not to hesitate or delay in reporting complaints to the Agency, stressing the importance of consumer protection laws in safeguarding residents’ rights.
He reaffirmed that Lagos State Consumer Protection Law (as amended in 2015) protects consumers from fake, substandard, and deceptive products and ensures fairness in all transactions.
Residents are encouraged to speak up whenever goods or services fail to meet expected standards, as silence allows unfair practices to continue—especially in today’s market where counterfeit products are increasingly difficult to detect.
Know your rights. Speak up.

To assess the pace and quality of ongoing work, today, I inspected the Warri Township Stadium accompanied by the President of the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF), Ibrahim Musa Gusau; former NFF President Amaju Pinnick and Managing Director of the contracting firm, Peculiar Ultimate Concerns Ltd, Engr. Adeleke.
Among other facilities, I inspected the hospitality suites, the Voice Operating Centre (VOC) and the pitch. Though, satisfied with most of the facilities, I however directed the contractor to replace the cladding with more superior ones for aesthetic effects. The contractor also assured us that this very important project will be completed by September 2026
Today, Governor Sheriff Oborevwori visited the Warri Stadium project for an on-site inspection of the ongoing reconstruction works.
During the inspection, he assessed the pace and quality of ongoing reconstruction works. While the playing pitch met expectations, certain finishing elements were identified as not meeting the required standards and were therefore rejected for correction.
He reiterated that every project must deliver real value to the people, stressing that both quality and agreed timelines must be strictly followed. Through the MORE Agenda, such inspections continue to ensure that development is delivered as planned, durable, accountable, and impactful.
