In my address, I charged the new executives to see this not as a title but as a call to serve. I told them our task is to take this movement to all 20 Local Government Areas, engage young people where they are, and build a disciplined, grassroots structure that will mobilize massively for the re-election of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in 2027.
I sincerely appreciate the Deputy Governor of Ogun State, Her Excellency Engr. Noimot Salako-Oyedele, (@NoimotOyedele) who represented His Excellency Governor Dapo Abiodun (@DapoAbiodunCON), for her inspiring remarks and passionate support for the Movement.
I also thank Senator Solomon Olamilekan Adeola (Yayi), @Sen_AdeolaYAYI our APC gubernatorial candidate, for highlighting President Tinubu's tangible impact in Ogun State - from the $7 billion Olokola Port MoU, to new federal universities and the Federal University of Medical Sciences. I must say, their presence and words gave us renewed energy and direction.
I specially commend our Ogun State Patron and Personal Assistant to the President on Special Duties, Alhaji Kamorudeen Yusuf (@KamorYusuf), for his firm leadership and sacrifice for this Movement in Ogun State.
I also thank our national leadership, members of Ogun State Executive Council, our support groups, and the great Nigerian students who turned out in large numbers for your unbroken dedication and commitment.

PRESIDENT TINUBU APPROVES FRAMEWORK TO UNLOCK $50 BILLION IN DEEP OFFSHORE INVESTMENT
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has approved a new investment framework aimed at unlocking up to $50 billion in deep offshore oil and gas investments and reviving major projects that have remained stalled for years.
The framework replaces project-by-project negotiations with clear, transparent and predictable investment rules, beginning with the approximately $10 billion Bonga South West project.
The reform is expected to attract long-term capital, increase oil production, create skilled jobs and strengthen Nigeria’s local oil and gas supply chains.
It will also promote greater Nigerian participation in engineering, fabrication, marine logistics, technical services and project management, positioning Nigeria as a regional hub for deep offshore development.
The framework, implemented through the Deep Offshore Oil and Gas Projects Incentives (Tax Remission) Order, 2026, gives investors greater certainty while ensuring Nigeria derives stronger long-term value from its resources.

Fitch Affirms Nigeria’s ‘B’ Rating, Maintains Stable Outlook
Global ratings agency Fitch has affirmed Nigeria’s sovereign credit rating at ‘B’ with a Stable Outlook, citing continued progress in foreign exchange reforms, stronger reserves, and improving macroeconomic stability.
Fitch noted that Nigeria’s gross foreign reserves rose significantly to $49.4 billion by March 2026, up from $32 billion in April 2024, reflecting stronger external buffers and growing investor confidence. The agency also highlighted improvements in FX market normalisation, increased transparency in reserve management, and sustained reforms by the Central Bank of Nigeria.
The report projects Nigeria’s economy to grow by 4.1% in 2026, supported by relative FX stability, stronger oil receipts, improved domestic refining capacity, and expanding non-oil economic activity. Inflation is also expected to moderate further, continuing the disinflation trend already underway.
This affirmation underscores rising international confidence in Nigeria’s economic direction and validates the reform agenda of the administration of Bola Ahmed Tinubu, whose fiscal and monetary policies continue to strengthen macroeconomic resilience and long-term investor trust.
