Last week, I was a panelist at the Ogun Digital Summit @OgunDgtSummit where I spoke to teeming youths, emerging leaders, business and startup founders on the topic "Utilising social media as a tool startup/ business growth."

Dear Nigerians, here's another question that deserves our collective attention.

The 2026 FG Budget earmarks N22.15 billion for the construction of 106 Palace buildings, with some including furniture and solar installations.

Our review raises serious accountability concerns:
📍 11 Palace projects worth N5.85 billion have no identified locations, making public oversight almost impossible.
📍 None of the 45 implementing MDAs has the statutory mandate to construct palaces.

Among the agencies budgeted to execute these projects are:
• Nigerian Building and Road Research Institute (N3.92bn)
• Federal Cooperative College, Ibadan (N3.29bn)
• Sheda Science and Technology Complex (N1.54bn)
• National Cereals Research Institute (N427m)
• Industrial Arbitration Panel (N369.4m)
• National Oil Spill Detection and Response Agency (N280m)
• Federal Neuro Psychiatric Hospital, Dawanau (N42m)

At a time of rising debt and limited fiscal space, should the Federal Government fund projects that are largely local in nature, while states and local governments constitutionally exist to address many community-level needs?

This is not about the importance of our traditional institutions. It is about ensuring that public budgets reflect constitutional responsibilities, institutional mandates, and Nigeria's development priorities.

The Federal Budget should not become a vehicle for financing projects outside the constitutional and statutory responsibilities of the institutions implementing them.

Nigeria deserves a budget that is lawful, transparent, and development-driven.

@DavidHundeyin When I read this news on EFCC's handle, my mind went straight to you, because you were the first person to notice this scam and provide evidence to support it.

Tosin (co-founder/CEO of Moniepoint) and I were same set in Ife (entered 2001). Razaq co-founder of Cowrywise a year our junior (2002).

I finished in 2006 because I studied a 4-year course. Tosin and Razaq finished in 2007 because Tosin studied a 5 year course, Razaq 4.

I didn't know Tosin in Ife. Razaq and I were close.

Now, Tosin's company, Momiepoint, has just committed N1 billion to building an innovation hub in OAU.

I can't wait for my own company, Jarus Homes, to also become big enough to be able to commit N1 billion into our alma mater alone.

Well done, Tosin @Eniolorunda

PS: I think OAU 2000 - 2010 guys really cooked. Apart from Moniepoint and Cowrywise, Jobberman, Seamless HR are other top tech companies founded by OAU guys of that era. Any other popular one?

LE TOGO SUPPRIME LE VISA POUR TOUS LES AFRICAINS !

Le Togo franchit une étape historique dans le renforcement de l’intégration africaine. Désormais, tous les ressortissants des États africains détenteurs d’un passeport national valide peuvent entrer sur le territoire togolais sans visa, pour un séjour allant jusqu’à 30 jours.

À travers cette réforme majeure, le Président du Conseil réaffirme sa volonté de faire du Togo un espace d’ouverture, de mobilité, d’opportunités et de coopération au cœur du continent africain.

Les voyageurs doivent toutefois effectuer leur déclaration de voyage sur la plateforme officielle https://t.co/CsFa9PI7k2 au moins 24 heures avant leur arrivée afin d’obtenir leur bordereau de voyage.
Le Togo confirme ainsi son leadership en matière d’intégration régionale et de rapprochement des peuples africains.
