It was my distinct privilege to host the National Shea Programme Stakeholder Forum at the Nigeria Commodity Exchange (NCX), yesterday.

Chaired by the Honourable Minister of Industry, Trade & Investment, @joduwole, this pivotal sensitization session marks a major milestone in our strategic mandate to restructure Nigeria’s shea sector, fully aligned with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.

Our discussion focused on a critical economic shift: moving away from exporting raw materials to prioritizing domestic value addition. By centering our strategy on local agro-processors and empowering the hardworking women who form the backbone of shea picking, we are ensuring that the wealth generated by Nigerian shea stays right here at home.

The encouraging participation and actionable commitments from major value chain players—including our goodwill partners (PFSCU, Bank of Agriculture, Afreximbank), cooperatives, and aggregators—demonstrate that we are fully aligned. The progress made today has set a solid blueprint in motion, and NCX remains committed to transforming Nigeria into a global, self-sustaining shea processing powerhouse.

My profound appreciation goes to the Honourable Minister, our partners, and the dedicated NCX team for delivering a highly successful forum. The work continues.

UPDATE: Meeting between @STinubu and @7Stargloballtd, Obidient General, Ikenna Azomchine sparks fresh speculations ahead of 2027 elections

ABUJA, Nigeria: The Obidient General, Ikenna Azomchine, alongside former National Deputy Campaign Manager of Peter Obi and Chief Executive Officer of Seven Star Global Hangar, Isaac Balami, recently held a meeting with Seyi Tinubu in what observers describe as a significant political engagement ahead of the 2027 general elections.

According to reports monitored by Podium Reporters, the meeting goes beyond an ordinary courtesy visit, as it reflects ongoing political discussions and emerging alignments within Nigeria’s evolving political space.

The engagement has also been interpreted by political stakeholders as a demonstration of support for the administration and leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, amid continued consultations among key actors on issues concerning national development, unity, and progress.

Sources familiar with the meeting say conversations centered on strengthening national cohesion, youth involvement in governance, and fostering partnerships that can contribute to the country’s political and economic stability.

The development comes as political activities and strategic consultations continue to gather momentum across party lines ahead of the 2027 elections, with influential figures increasingly engaging in discussions aimed at shaping Nigeria’s future political direction.

It was a pleasure hosting Dr. @Volatunji1 , National Commissioner/CEO of the Nigeria Data Protection Commission (@ndpcngr), and his delegation at the exchange today.

As we position the @ncxnigeria as a world-class, data-driven exchange, robust data privacy is not just a regulatory requirement—it is the foundation of investor trust and market integrity.

This visit is incredibly timely as we roll out new innovations that rely on secure data processing, including NIN, BVN, and CAC registrations.
I am deeply grateful to Dr. Olatunji for his commendation of NCX’s strategic role in Nigeria's economic growth, and for the NDPC's generous offer of free induction training and Virtual Privacy Academy (VPA) vouchers for our staff.

We are fully committed to investing in our people to ensure total compliance with the Nigeria Data Protection Act (NDPA) 2023.

To turn our discussions into immediate action, we have established a joint NCX-NDPC working group to co-develop a seamless data compliance roadmap.

Together, we are safeguarding our ecosystem and creating a secure environment for global investment.

Germany has committed €8 million to support Nigeria’s technical and vocational education and training (TVET) sector over the next two years as part of efforts to tackle youth unemployment, close the skills gap, and strengthen workforce development.

This initiative is aimed at equipping millions of young Nigerians with practical and employable skills as nearly 70% of the population is under 30 and about five million youths enter the labour market yearly.

Dear Mr @PeterObi,

To set the record straight, the Budget Office of the Federation's Q3 2025 Budget Implementation Report confirms the specific figures cited regarding 2025 over-borrowing and lagging capital expenditure.

However, the claim that total debt reached ₦200 trillion is false; official Debt Management Office data places the maximum debt significantly lower.

CLAIM: Nigeria’s total public debt has escalated to approximately ₦200 trillion.

VERDICT—FALSE: According to official records from the DMO, Nigeria’s total public debt stood at ₦159.28 trillion as of December 31, 2025. While this is a substantial increase, the statement overstates the actual debt by roughly ₦40.7 trillion.

CLAIM: Debt increased by over ₦100 trillion under Tinubu compared to Buhari's ₦49 trillion tenure.

VERDICT—MISLEADING ARITHMETIC: The nominal debt in naira terms skyrocketed from roughly ₦87.38 trillion in mid-2023 to ₦159.28 trillion by late 2025. However, financial analysts point out that a large percentage of this "increase" is not due to fresh cash borrowing, but rather the mathematical impact of currency devaluation. External debts denominated in USD are now calculated against an exchange rate exceeding ₦1,500/$, multiplying the total naira value without any new loans being taken.

CLAIM: The government borrowed ₦11.89 trillion between January and September 2025, exceeding the ₦10.34 trillion target.

VERDICT—TRUE: The Budget Office of the Federation confirms that the actual borrowing inflow reached ₦11.89 trillion during the first nine months of 2025, representing an over-borrowing margin of ₦1.54 trillion above the prorated projection.

CLAIM: Only ₦3.10 trillion was allocated to capital expenditure, leaving 82.34% of planned capital projects unfunded.

VERDICT—TRUE: Official budget implementation reports verify that out of ₦17.58 trillion earmarked for capital projects in that period, only ₦3.10 trillion (17.66%) was utilized.

CLAIM: There is no explanation or information regarding how the balance was utilized.

VERDICT—FALSE/EXPLAINED BY DATA: The text asks if the remaining funds were hidden or deployed for campaigns. Official data reveals a direct fiscal explanation: debt servicing and revenue shortfalls. During those nine months, the government suffered a massive ₦12.03 trillion shortfall in expected revenues while debt servicing obligations climbed to ₦12.52 trillion (exceeding the budgeted debt service by over ₦2 trillion). The over-borrowed funds went into a severe fiscal squeeze to prevent default on existing debts and fund personnel recurrent overhead costs.

While the point about the low capital budget implementation is verified by the Budget Office's Q3 2025 report, it is important to stick to the actual financial data rather than inflated numbers.

The numbers are exaggerated: Nigeria's total public debt is ₦159.28 trillion, not ₦200 trillion as claimed.

Currency arithmetic vs. New borrowing: A massive chunk of the debt growth since 2023 is not fresh spending, but the translation of preexisting foreign debt into local currency following the floating and devaluation of the Naira.

While we are still celebrating Nigeria's external reserves hitting over $50bn, Nigeria's Foreign Trade Surplus jumps 341% to N7.55Trillion!!

Better days are still ahead!

I commend all our patriotic front-line soldiers in the fight against terrorism in all forms.

You stand as a shield between innocent citizens and those who seek to destroy the peace, safety, and dignity of our communities.

In the forests, on the roads, at forward operating bases, in the air, creeks, and across difficult terrains, you carry the burden of national protection so that millions of Nigerians can sleep, work, worship, farm, trade, and raise their children in hope.

This fight has not been easy. It has come with pain, pressure, and sacrifice. But your courage has remained firm. Your service is acknowledged. Your sacrifice is honoured. Your country does not take you for granted.

To every officer and soldier of our Armed Forces, to the Police, DSS, Civil Defence, intelligence services, local security formations, and all who work day and night to keep Nigeria safe, I say thank you.

I also acknowledge the families behind the uniform. Many of you have endured long absences, anxious nights, and the emotional cost of duty. Nigeria remembers that sacrifice, too.

We honour those who have paid the supreme price in defence of our country. Their names may not always trend, but their courage lives on in rescued communities, protected families, and the survival of the nation they served.

The fight against terror is not only a military operation. It is a national duty. Citizens must support our security forces by providing timely, useful information. When you see something, say something. When you know something, report it.

Nigeria will not surrender to fear. We will not allow terrorists, bandits, kidnappers, or violent extremists to define who we are as a people. Their violence is not our identity. Their hatred does not represent Nigerians of any faith, creed, or community.

To our troops and all front-line patriots, thank you for your courage. Thank you for your vigilance. Thank you for your service.

May the Almighty protect you as you protect our country.

President and Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces
Federal Republic of Nigeria

The Federal Government has commenced the construction of five pedestrian bridges along Section Two of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway to improve safety and reduce the frequent loss of lives recorded on the busy highway corridor.

The 84-kilometre stretch from Sagamu Interchange to Ojoo in Ibadan has long posed serious risks to residents crossing at major points such as Soka, Sanyo, Elebu, Seminbiyo, Boluwaji, and other bus stops due to the absence of pedestrian bridges.

Beyond the harvest lies the gateway. 🔑

Raw shea nuts bring returns, but processing and branding build legacies. It’s time to shift from exporting raw potential to exporting premium, finished products.

Some of us have been following Nigeria’s political development from a very young age and for the first time since 1999 we have a President who is actually restructuring the country like we have always wanted even though it hasn’t been perfect.

We will not leave such a man to support less capable ones because certain distractors are hell bent on using insecurity to derail the process.

Tinubu will complete this process and we will do everything possible to make it a reality.

[Akeem Bright @akeem_bright]

@PBATMediaCentre Great submissions so far. Looking forward to the full interview 👏🏽👏🏽

HeadsUp!

Nigeria's external reserves hit record high of $50.04bn, driven by the various Monetary Policies of the President Tinubu-led administration.

[Akin Akinwale @mrlurvy]

For once, I agree.

What our timelines truly need cleansing from is fake news, recycled videos, unverified security alerts, manipulated content, and the growing culture of posting first and verifying later.

Unconfirmed kidnapping stories are circulated as facts. Rumours are amplified by influencers and ordinary users alike, only for corrections to come much later, if they come at all.

Before sharing that alarming video or breaking news, take a moment to verify it. Being first is not as important as being right.
