I've spent the last several months researching, travelling, and studying why countries like Singapore, Netherlands, United Kingdom, Canada and Finland built some of the world's best public education systems.
One thing became clear:
Nigeria doesn't just have an education problem. We have a school management problem.
Today, I'm releasing a white paper that proposes a new way to transform our public schools, keeping them publicly owned while introducing world-class management and accountability.
This isn't about politics.
It's about giving every Nigerian child the opportunity to attend a world-class public school.
I hope this sparks one of the most important conversations our country has had about education.
Read it. Criticise it. Improve it. Share it.
If we get education right, we change Nigeria.

Why do Nigerians top elected officials need 50 vehicle convoy to move around?
Akpabio drives a Mercedes Benz Maybach with about 20 vehicles behind him.
The convoy of the UK Prime Minister typically consists of 6 to 8 vehicles in total, though it fluctuates depending on the specific security threat level and destination.
The Prime Minister generally travels in a heavily armoured Audi A8L or a Range Rover Sentinel, 3 to 4 Escort Vehicles: Unmarked or marked police SUVs (often Range Rovers or similar models) driven by Royalty and Specialist Protection (RaSP) officers, 1 to 2 Motorcycle Outriders:
Members of the Metropolitan Police Special Escort Group lead the convoy to navigate traffic.
I have to celebrate the amazing men who I am proud & honoured to share the same birth date with.
Men of timber & caliber
Men of integrity.
Men with hearts of diamond.
Happy Happy birthday

At least this unfortunate incident will not fade away as easily as they wish.
We need accountability. Ms Mary Habila's family and public deserve to know the truth.
I have followed with deep sorrow and mounting concern the reports surrounding the death of Miss Mary Habila, a 26-year-old Nigerian from Nok, Southern Kaduna, who died on June 27, 2026, within the private residence of the Honourable Minister of Works, Senator David Umahi, in Uburu, Ebonyi State.
First, I extend my heartfelt condolences to the Habila family. No family should have to mourn a daughter taken in the prime of her life while also fighting simply to learn the truth of how she died.
But condolences are not enough. Nigerians deserve answers, and it is on this score that the Tinubu administration has failed, comprehensively and disgracefully.
Consider the facts that are not in dispute. A young woman died in the residence of a serving Federal Minister. For nearly two weeks, neither the Minister, nor the police, nor any arm of government said a word to the Nigerian people. It took the courage of Sahara Reporters to bring this death into public view. Three weeks after her death, no autopsy has been performed. No cause of death has been established. The investigation remains domiciled in the very state where the Minister served two terms as Governor and where his influence is beyond question.
And through all of this, silence from the Presidency. Silence from the Federal Executive Council. Silence from the Inspector-General of Police. Silence from the National Assembly. Not one word. Not one directive. Not one gesture to assure Nigerians that the life of Mary Habila matters to this government.
Instead, the Minister has been permitted to manage the narrative of a death that occurred under his own roof: issuing statements through his personal aides, deploying his private lawyers to correspond with the police, and continuing his official duties as though nothing has happened, while civil society groups, youth organisations, and the family’s own community cry out for an independent inquiry.
Let me be clear: I make no pronouncement on anyone’s guilt or innocence. That is precisely the point. Only a credible, independent, and transparent investigation can establish the truth, and it is the refusal of the Federal Government to guarantee such an investigation that constitutes the scandal before us.
A government’s first duty is the protection of life. Where a life is lost in circumstances touching a high official of state, the burden on government to act transparently is at its heaviest.
President Tinubu’s administration has instead treated this tragedy as an inconvenience to be waited out. If the death of a young Nigerian woman in a Minister’s residence cannot stir this government to act, then Nigerians must ask: whose life, exactly, does this government value?
I therefore demand the following: One, President Bola Tinubu must direct the Honourable Minister of Works to step aside immediately, pending the conclusion of investigations. This is not a punishment; it is the minimum standard of public accountability in any serious democracy. No official under this cloud should preside over a federal ministry as though it were business as usual.
Two, the Inspector-General of Police must immediately transfer the investigation from the Ebonyi State Command to Force Headquarters, with the involvement of independent forensic experts. No investigation conducted in the shadow of the Minister’s home-state influence can command public confidence.
Three, a full, independent, and internationally credible autopsy must be conducted without further delay, with the findings made public. The stalemate over the post-mortem, three weeks after this young woman’s death is an indictment of every institution involved.
Four, the family of Mary Habila must be protected from any pressure, inducement, or intimidation, and must be guaranteed unfettered access to the facts of their daughter’s death.
Mary Habila and Mary Baski visited the home of David Umahi, Minister of Works (@FMWNIG). On the morning of June 26, 2026, Mary Habila was found dead in her room. The other lady, Mary Baski, has since disappeared, and no one knows where she is. @PoliceNG have not yet questioned the minister.
Nigeria is a crime scene.
#Breaking: At the instigation of elements sympathetic to a certain candidate of particular concern, persons suspected to be agents of @OfficialDSSNG have reportedly abducted the MD of the Service Provider for the @NigBarAssoc in #NBADecides2026 at the MMIA airport in Lagos on his way to Abuja. They also reportedly confiscated his laptop & phones & presently have him in their custody.
This is even more impressive because the same @OfficialDSSNG had reportedly confirmed in writing that they were going to be present to observe the mechanics off voting & ballot tabulation in #NBADecides2026. It is difficult to see how they can both disable ballot administration & observe balloting all at the same time.
The design, clearly, is to frustrate #NBADecides2026 & bring about #ManuMilitari what the courts have told them they cannot do.
The same people using @OfficialAPCNg controlled methods & institutions are busy claiming other candidates are fronts for the #APC. Someone pls make it make sense.
Today, the EFCC invited Peter Akah (Randy Peter) and Mama Pee to its Abuja office for questioning. As responsible Nigerians, they honored the invitation.
As of now, they have not been released, and they have been unreachable.
EFCC, please do the needful.
