Interviewer: “Do you believe that Tinubu actually won that election?”
Interviewee: “By every intention and purpose, I’m not in his party and I don’t have time for sh!t, let me explain to you why he won. If he had the machinery to rig the much, Buhari would not have allowed himself to lose in Katsina, and he did lose and the result was registered loss, if he had the machinery enough Nasiru who’s now angry would not have allowed himself to lose in Kaduna, he did lose and the result was registered loss”
—Man gave reason why President Tinubu actually won the last general elections.
@TahaAdam_ You don't need to bring down one minister to appreciate another one. Pantami made his contributions, but Tijani has introduced new initiatives like 3MTT, project bridge and many more. That's a strong record if we’re being honest.
@TahaAdam_ I understand why you would say this. Nigerians don’t understand people who choose to solve foundational issues. Fibre expansion will solve many of our problems today including cost of data.
@TahaAdam_ LOL. These people ehn. The real question is whether Nigeria is better positioned for the future today than it was 3years ago. We now have a NAIS, several research grants, a relaunched NCAIR, and you people are still stuck in the past.
It was a pleasure to visit Cape Town to meet with my brother, H.E. @SollyMalatsi, South Africa’s Minister of Communications and Digital Technologies, for a strategic conversation on the future of Africa’s digital economy, particularly the importance of digital infrastructure and the urgent role of leadership in driving meaningful digital transformation across our continent.
We also discussed the critical role of the @ITU as a global platform for advancing inclusive digital transformation and connecting the 2.2 billion people around the world who remain unconnected.
It was equally valuable to engage Minister Malatsi on the upcoming @atu_uat Plenipotentiary to be hosted by Nigeria in July, as well as the ITU Plenipotentiary Conference in Qatar and the important elections that will help shape the future direction of the Union.
Sincere appreciation to Dr. @NOIweala Director-General of the @wto, for making the time to meet with me in Geneva on the margins of the @ITU Council this past week.
I valued our excellent conversation on the intersection of trade, technology, and artificial intelligence in an increasingly interconnected global digital economy, and the importance of ensuring that developing economies are positioned to fully participate in the opportunities emerging from this transformation.
As technology continues to reshape global commerce and productivity, Nigeria remains committed not only to preparing for the future, but to helping shape it through innovation, digital infrastructure, talent development, and stronger global collaboration towards shared prosperity for our people.
Visit from Nigeria‘s Minister of Communications, Innovation and Digital Economy, H.E. Dr. @bosuntijani. The future of trade is digital and the importance of AI looms large. Nigeria should pursue important opportunities in this area. Honourable Minister, please keep up the hard work.
PRESIDENT TINUBU: FG TO DEPLOY AI-ENABLED CAMERA NETWORKS TO COMBAT INSECURITY IN PLATEAU
President Bola Tinubu has assured the people of Plateau State that the Federal Government will deploy an artificial intelligence-enabled network of over 5,000 digital cameras to help law enforcement agencies combat insecurity in the state.
President Tinubu gave the promise in his address during his visit to Jos on Thursday.
He commiserated with the government and people of the state on the March 29 gun attacks that claimed the lives of innocent citizens in the Angwan Rukuba district of Jos North Local Government Area.
“I promise you that this experience will not repeat itself,” he said.
President Tinubu directed the Minister of Defence, Gen. Christopher Musa (Rtd), Chief of Army Staff, Gen. Waidi Shaibu, and the Inspector General of Police, Olatunji Disu, to “unearth and find the killers” of innocent Nigerians.
He announced that the Minister of Communication and Digital Economy, Bosun Tijjani, will oversee the immediate installation of the security cameras in close coordination with the Plateau State Government and security agencies.
The installation will start in Jos and expand across Plateau State, building on systems already successfully deployed in Lagos and Enugu states.
Lamenting the pain caused by the latest violence, President Tinubu expressed dismay at seeing videos from Jos depicting violence.
“It is only God that can give you joy and comfort,” President Tinubu told families affected by the attacks at the meeting held at the arrival lounge at Yakubu Gowon Airport.
“No amount of money can recompense for lost souls,” he added.
President Tinubu pledged that the government will do everything possible to ensure justice is served and provide comfort for the bereaved families.
He directed the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Bernard Doro, to compile comprehensive data on those affected by the violence to ensure that government assistance is equitable to all.
Addressing leaders and stakeholders, President Tinubu emphasised the need for proactive measures to prevent future attacks.
''Why is the past not a source of lessons to us? I have listened to Jonah Jang, Wase, Lalong, Nentawe and Governor Mutfwang.
“Governor, you and I were elected on a promise of peace and security, not to comfort and create widows and widowers. We were elected to bring prosperity and inclusiveness as a government, to share hope and aspiration with everyone, and to lead our youth.
''I assure our youths who are represented here that I do not want to be here consoling and commiserating — I want to be here to establish peace,” he said.
The Governor of Plateau State, Caleb Mutfwang, said the state had enjoyed relative peace before the unfortunate incident of March 29, describing it as a temporary setback.
He commended security agencies for their ongoing efforts and expressed confidence that their interventions will continue to strengthen security.
“We will win this war against insecurity,” the Governor said, adding that the current administration inherited these challenges and is taking all measures within its powers to address them.
Governor Mutfwang also expressed gratitude to President Tinubu for approving the recruitment of 1,000 forest guards to complement the state's security efforts.
The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, thanked President Tinubu for standing with the people of Plateau, noting that the crisis had lingered for a long time.
He expressed hope that the President’s visit would strengthen security agencies, stem the tide of attacks, and provide comfort to bereaved families.
“We will stay back and work with our people to find a lasting solution to the problem,” he said.
Nigeria is advancing its digital economy with the launch of Project Bridge, a nationwide initiative focused on research, innovation, and infrastructure expansion. The project will deploy 90,000km of fibre networks, 3,700 towers, with over ₦12 billion in funding to improve connectivity nationwide.
The initiative also positions universities as innovation hubs through research clusters, aiming to drive tech development, empower youth, and support a trillion-dollar digital economy.
On this special occasion, I extend warm birthday wishes to His Excellency, President @officialABAT, GCFR.
Your dedication to the unity, stability, and sustainable development of our nation remains a guiding force for us all. As we advance the mandate of building a thriving digital economy, we draw strength from your vision and steadfast resolve to create opportunities for every Nigerian.
Wishing you continued strength, wisdom, and success in the service of our great nation.
@PeterObi Who are the people handling what you push out to Nigerians. You need to sack them or is it that yiu yourself don't understand some of these things you comment on.
Today we celebrate the women who are powering Nigeria’s progress across technology, innovation, and the broader digital economy.
When women are empowered to contribute fully, the benefits extend far beyond individuals to the nation as a whole.
Happy International Women’s Day!
