The Vice President, Senator @KashimSM, has applauded the Renewed Hope Baby Support (RHBS) programme, a national human capital infrastructure initiative aimed at providing every Nigerian child with structured identity, healthcare participation, and long-term financial opportunities.

He said the RHBS programme, initiated by the North East Development Commission (@NEDCOfficialNg), aligns with President @officialABAT’s declaration of 2026 as the Year of the Family and Social Protection, just as he lauded the Commission for taking proactive steps to translate the President’s vision into concrete action.

Senator @KashimSM disclosed this on Thursday when the management team of the NEDC, led by its Managing Director/CEO, Mohammed Goni Alkali, presented the RHBS programme execution framework to him at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

“As you are aware, Mr President has declared 2026 as the Year of the Family and Social Protection, with clear directives for implementation across all levels of government. I commend the NEDC for taking proactive steps to translate this vision into concrete action, particularly through the Renewed Hope Baby Support (RHBS) programme.

“The RHBS is a very timely and strategic initiative. It sits squarely within the North East Stabilization and Development Masterplan, aligning perfectly with its three critical pillars: peaceful society, healthy citizens, and an educated populace,” he stated.

Vice President @KashimSM joined President @officialABAT as the President presided over today’s meeting of the Federal Executive Council (FEC) at the Council Chambers of the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

The session, which brought together senior members of cabinet and top government functionaries, was preceded by the swearing-in of four newly appointed Permanent Secretaries in the Federal Civil Service, as well as a National Commissioner of the Independent National Electoral Commission (@inecnigeria), by President @officialABAT.

Those inaugurated as Permanent Secretaries were Mrs. Warrens Bekearedebo Augusta (Bayelsa State), Dr. Ayinde Shoretire (Ogun State), Mallam Aminu Sani Yargaya (Kano State), and Mrs. Nkiruka Bella Jones-Nebo (Enugu State), while Rear Admiral Jamila Abubakar Sadiq Malafa (Rtd) was sworn in as National Commissioner of Independent National Electoral Commission, representing Adamawa State.

Today’s FEC meeting thereafter brought together members of the Federal Executive Council for another round of high-level policy coordination, review of ongoing reform programmes, and consideration of matters central to economic management, public sector efficiency, and service delivery.

The National Economic Council (NEC) has approved the adoption of 112 as the National Emergency Number at all levels and across relevant agencies as part of measures to strengthen Nigeria’s emergency lifeline and build a unified and coordinated national response to emergencies.

Council also approved the establishment of a multi-agency implementation committee and programme coordination led by the Office of the Vice President and the Nigerian Communications Commission (@NgComCommission).

The approval was part of decisions taken at the 157th meeting of NEC held virtually and chaired by Vice President @KashimSM.

The Vice President said the 112 emergency lifeline had become necessary to prevent delays caused by bureaucratic bottlenecks, noting that what the citizens seek urgently when confronted by natural disasters or insecurity is an urgent response and not bureaucracy.

“This is not only a technical reform. It is a test of the state’s humanity. In moments of fire, accident, robbery, medical emergency, flood, violence, or panic, citizens do not need bureaucracy.

“They need response. They need to know one number to call, one system to trust, and one coordinated chain of action that moves quickly enough to save lives,” he stated.

Engaged in a productive meeting with His Excellency @YDunhai Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the People’s Republic of China to Nigeria to explore structured, long-term institutional cooperation between Nigeria and China.

[Dr. Mariam Masha @DrMashaMariam]

Our objective is to strengthen Nigeria’s regional development systems while accelerating inclusive and regionally balanced growth.

Our interest is not in isolated projects. It is in understanding the institutional architecture that enabled provincial authorities in China

It was a pleasure to meet you 🤝🏾

[Yu Dunhai @YDunhai]

Today, I was glad to meet @DrMashaMariam, Senior Special Assistant to the President on Regional Development Programmes in Nigeria.🤝

As we reflect on the #55thanniversary of 🇨🇳China-🇳🇬Nigeria diplomatic relations this year, it’s clear that our two countries have always respected and treated each other as equals, writing a remarkable chapter of shared development.

This year, during President Xi Jinping's congratulatory message to the 39th AU Summit, he announced that China will grant #zerotariff treatment to 53 African countries with diplomatic ties, effective May 1, 2026. A major step that will bring fresh momentum and new opportunities for Africa’s development.

China looks forward to working with Nigeria to translate this policy into early gains, deepening experience sharing on #regionaldevelopment and advancing our shared vision of modernization.

South East Nigeria has talent, ideas and deserves structure, planning and long-term vision.

2050 won’t magically fix itself.
The future is built deliberately starting with conversations like this.

If you care about development beyond social media rants,
this is where you should be on 3rd to 5th February.

South East Vision 2050 is asking the right question early: What kind of South East do we want to hand over?
