#NigeriaAtTICAD9 | POWERING DELIVERY: FOCUS ON THE POWER SECTOR

While some watch from afar, the Nigerian delegation in Japan is doing the actual work activating long-agreed energy projects, engaging top Japanese OEMs, and moving from commitments to commissioning.

This is not about headlines. Just infrastructure.

The Power Sector team led by HM Power @BayoAdelabu is holding implementation talks with JICA, visiting TOSHIBA and HITACHI for technical alignment, and engaging the Japanese Transmission and Distribution Corporation on loss reduction models.

At NAPTIN Abuja, training equipment from one of the signed grants is already installed. A 190 million dollar renewable energy facility is being activated to complement our 750 million dollar World Bank fund under Nigeria’s Mission 300 Compact.

Commissioning arrangements are underway for three JICA-funded substations in Apo, Keffi, and Apapa which are fully completed, fully grant-funded. These were delivered through a 32 million dollar Japanese grant.

Recall that FEC recently approved the payment of ¥53 million in project activation fees and N13 billion for Right-of-Way compensation for a Japan-back projects.

This is what delivery looks like. Quiet. Focused. Unbothered by noise - or booths.

Companies have presented the Federal Government with evidence of $60 billion in financial backing for the development of a high-speed railway.

De-Sadel Nigeria Limited, alongside China Liancai Petroleum Investment Holdings Limited, has announced their intentions to initiate the construction of a planned gas development and a 4000-kilometer high-speed rail project in Nigeria.

In a statement, it was disclosed that the companies presented proof of funds amounting to $60 billion to Sen. George Akume, the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF).

Samuel Uko, the Chief Executive Officer of De-Sadel Nigeria Limited, announced that financing for the project will be sourced from the Asian Development Investment Bank.

He said said, “Today is a very great day in the life of this administration. The high-speed rail bullet train project that we started 10 years ago has gotten a nod from this administration. It is this administration that has given us almost 90 per cent of approvals.

“Today, with our partners, I have just presented the official proof of fund for the project. The fund is coming from the Asian Development Investment Bank and it is to cover the first phase of the project that cuts across four major cities of Nigeria.

“The rail line is from Lagos to Abuja, to Kano, and from Abuja to Port Harcourt. So this is a very great work that the government has done. The federal government of Nigeria, through the ICRC, approved the Outline Business Case (OBC) and the next step was for us to submit the proof of fund to the government, which we just did. So I believe in the shortest possible time, Nigeria will start enjoying a high-speed rail in Nigeria.

“$60 billion proof of fund has just been submitted to the government through our financial and technical partners. The first phase of the project is $55 billion. So the fund is ready, and the country is ready to move forward with this project.

“You cannot develop high-speed rail without developing the gas aspect of the economy. As we all know, we don’t have enough gas presently. So the raw material for high-speed rail is power. The raw material for power is gas. So we have to develop the gas aspect to be able to access more gas to power the high-speed rail project.

“The 1,600 kilometres that covers the four major cities of the country will take us 36 months to build. But we won’t wait until the 36th month. For instance, from Lagos to Lokoja, we will cut across about six states, and when we get to the second or third state, the people from the first two states will start enjoying the speed train. So, it’s going to be in phases. So that is how the project is being structured.”

Strengthening Nigeria’s Food Security
FG and Nasarawa Deepen Collaboration on Agricultural Transformation

Lafia | August 7, 2025

Minister of Agriculture and Food Security, Senator Abubakar Kyari, visited Governor Abdullahi Sule of Nasarawa State today to reaffirm the Federal Government’s commitment to food security through stronger state-level collaboration.

The visit is part of the broader strategy under the Renewed Hope Agenda to build sustainable food systems, bridge the national demand gap, and boost agricultural productivity through coordinated subnational and private sector partnerships.

“States like Nasarawa are critical to Nigeria’s agricultural transformation,” Senator Kyari said. “By investing in production and working together, we can build a food-secure nation.”

Governor Sule noted Nasarawa’s strong output in rice and sesame, while pointing to sugarcane as a growth frontier. Both leaders committed to greater investment in mechanisation, value chains, and agro-processing to drive jobs, rural development, and long-term food self-sufficiency.

President Tinubu’s Reforms Drive ₦14.27 Trillion Tax Revenue in First Half of 2025

The Federal Government recorded ₦14.27 trillion in tax revenue in the first half of 2025, a 43 percent increase from the ₦9.97 trillion collected in the same period of 2024. This surge reflects the impact of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s economic reforms and enhanced tax administration.

Non-oil tax collections rose to ₦10.64 trillion, while oil tax revenue reached ₦3.63 trillion. With this performance, the government has already achieved 78 percent of its ₦25.2 trillion annual revenue target.

The Tinubu administration remains focused on raising Nigeria’s tax-to-GDP ratio to 18 percent by 2030 as part of efforts to boost fiscal stability and reduce reliance on oil income.
