@charlesbanky: “To the US African command, I want to know, since this collaboration has started, for some reasons I've been trying to see a nexus every time there is an attack up north and you guys go on the offensive, every time we get good news from the top, we now get to see large kidnapping down south as it is currently in the case of Oyo State"

Update🔔: Oke-Ijumu K!!dnap Victims Regain Freedom as Vigilantes, Security Forces Neutralize Suspected Band|ts
The Bar Manager and Sales Girl abducted during a deadly attack on Aluta Bar Relaxation in Oke-Ijumu, Kogi State, have been rescued unharmed by a joint security team.
Sources say the victims were being moved to the k!dnqppers’ hideout when operatives of the Ogbe and Irele-Ekiti Vigilantes, Nigerian Army and Police intercepted the gang.
Several suspected bqnd!ts/k!dnqppers were neutralized during the operation, while others reportedly escaped with g¥nsh°t wounds.
The rescue operation took place on Tuesday, June 9, three days after the victims were k!dn@pped from the relaxation centre.
Security forces have intensified efforts to track down the fleeing suspects.
Building on the recently signed Memorandum of Understanding with the Nigeria Police Trust Fund, we met with Inspector General of Police, Olatunji Disu, and Mohammed Sheidu, Executive Secretary of the Nigeria Police Trust Fund yesterday, to explore opportunities for police stations to serve as Points of Presence on the Project BRIDGE network across the country, as well as ways to leverage connectivity as a tool for modernising operations, improving service delivery, and accelerating the digital transformation of the Nigeria Police Force.
We also witnessed a live demonstration of Awarri’s AI-powered, voice-enabled local language statement capture and case management solution, an innovative platform designed to improve the efficiency, accuracy, and speed of investigative processes. I am encouraged that deployment will commence in Abuja and Lagos in the coming weeks before scaling more broadly across the country.
As we continue to build the digital infrastructure that powers Nigeria’s future, it is equally important that our public institutions are equipped to adopt and harness these technologies to deliver better outcomes for citizens.

SANWO-OLU, HAMZAT, POLICYMAKERS LEAD DRIVE FOR INVESTMENTS IN LAGOS
•As LASG Courts Global Capital with Fresh Opportunities in Infrastructure, Tourism at Invest Lagos 3.0
The Lagos State Government on Tuesday reinforced its ambition to become Africa's leading destination for investment, innovation and enterprise, unveiling new opportunities across infrastructure, tourism, creative economy and financial services.
Speaking at the second day of the Invest Lagos 3.0 Summit held at Eko Hotels and Suites in Victoria Island, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, his deputy, Dr. Obafemi Hamzat, top government officials and policymakers outlined concrete plans, ongoing projects and investment-ready opportunities designed to attract local and international capital.
In his address during the closing ceremony, Governor Sanwo-Olu said the success of the summit would ultimately be measured not by the quality of conversations held but by the investments, partnerships and projects that emerge from them.
The Governor said strategic agreements signed during the summit represent practical commitments capable of facilitating investments, creating jobs and driving economic growth.
Governor Sanwo-Olu noted that Lagos continues to strengthen its position as a gateway connecting Nigeria to Africa and Africa to global markets through strategic investments in transportation, logistics, energy and digital infrastructure.
He highlighted major projects, including the Lagos Rail Mass Transit system, the Lekki Deep Sea Port, road expansion programmes and ongoing investments in energy infrastructure as critical foundations for long-term economic competitiveness.
Governor Sanwo-Olu also pointed to the state's strategic role within the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), describing Lagos as uniquely positioned to benefit from a market of more than 1.4 billion people across the continent.
The Governor further reaffirmed plans to establish the Lagos International Financial Centre (LIFC), describing it as a major step toward positioning Lagos as a global hub for finance, trade and investment.
Speaking earlier, Lagos State Deputy Governor, Dr. Obafemi Hamzat, identified policy continuity, institutional stability and long-term planning as key factors driving investor confidence in Lagos.
He said Lagos State's development model is built around creating a sustainable environment where people can comfortably live, work, invest and raise families.
Dr. Hamzat explained that Lagos remains attractive to investors because of the consistency of its governance systems and policies, which provide certainty beyond political transitions.
Dr. Hamzat also stressed the importance of collaboration among state governments, noting that economic growth in Lagos is closely tied to the development of other states and the overall progress of Nigeria.
Also speaking during a sector-focused session, Lagos State Commissioner for Tourism, Arts and Culture, Mrs. Toke Benson-Awoyinka, unveiled a broad portfolio of investment opportunities across tourism, hospitality, entertainment, culture and the creative economy.
Benson-Awoyinka said Lagos is strategically positioned to unlock the immense potential of its coastline through destination resorts, eco-tourism projects, hospitality developments, marina facilities and waterfront tourism infrastructure.
The commissioner disclosed that Lagos State Government is revitalising key heritage assets, including the Black Heritage Museum, the John Randle Centre for Yoruba Culture and History and the historic Point of No Return in Badagry, to create globally competitive tourism destinations.
She added that Lagos is investing in tourism transportation systems, hospitality infrastructure, workforce development and creative industry projects, including the proposed Lagos Film City, aimed at strengthening the state's position as Africa's cultural and entertainment capital.

Political circles are buzzing as prominent Obidient figures, Ikenna Azomchine and former Peter Obi Campaign Deputy Manager, Isaac Balami, held a meeting with Seyi Tinubu.
The high-profile engagement has sparked fresh discussions about possible political realignments ahead of the 2027 elections, with observers viewing the meeting as a sign of growing support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and ongoing efforts to build broader national unity and development partnerships.
STATEHOUSE STATEMENT
President Tinubu congratulates Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on setting a service record
I warmly congratulate Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the historic milestone of becoming India’s longest-serving elected Prime Minister.
This remarkable achievement reflects the enduring confidence and trust the people of India have reposed in his leadership over three consecutive mandates. His dedication to public service, commitment to national development, and influential leadership on the global stage continue to inspire millions worldwide.
Beyond being a great friend of Nigeria, Prime Minister Modi is a personal friend and trusted ally whom I can always count on. Over the years, I have come to deeply admire his wisdom, courage, and commitment to the progress and prosperity of his nation.
As a distinguished recipient of Nigeria’s national honour, the Grand Commander of the Order of the Niger (GCON), he has also contributed immensely to strengthening the bonds of friendship and cooperation between our two countries.
On behalf of the Government and people of Nigeria, I wish Prime Minister Modi continued good health, wisdom, and success as he leads India to even greater heights.

The 2027 presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Peter Obi, has threatened to file a N5 billion lawsuit against his former ally and chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Kenneth Okonkwo, for alleged defamation.
In a pre-action letter to Mr Okonkwo signed by his lawyer, Alex Ejesieme, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Mr Obi accused the ADC chieftain of making false and defamatory statements against him when he appeared as a guest on Channels TV’s Sunrise Daily on Monday.
Both politicians were in the Labour Party, and later moved to the ADC before Mr Obi left the party for the NDC.
Ekiti Knowledge Zone (EKZ) is expected to create over 20,000 jobs in its first phase and up to 100,000 jobs overall, while driving research, technology, entrepreneurship, and skills development.
Governor Biodun Oyebanji @biodunaoyebanji reaffirmed that the project is designed to unlock the talent of Ekiti people, attract technology-driven industries, and create opportunities for the next generation of innovators.
Why have a $50billion foreign reserve when people are hungry.....
That would be the question flying in the clueless Wailers head.... when CBN announced that the reserve has hit 17 years high..... The last time being during the reign of Yar Adua..
Jonathan couldn't achieve it....
Buhari couldn't achieve it...
The poor man looks at his pocket....
The rich man look out for investment...
Wailers don't only have empty pockets...
They have empty he*ds....
In 2022.... The reserve was gone.... you must be a big man close to Emefiele to get dollar....
indutrialist, foreign students, online traders, Airlines, importers all went through hell in their quest to get dollar..
The world rate the strength of a nation economy through it's external reserve...
When we hail the Nigeria Tinubu is building the reserve is one of our guide
When dollar dried up in 2023.... Emefiele and co kept lying that they had $30billion in reserve....even when Airlines and other claimed they were owed $7billion...
it was JP Morgan that pulled the rug off Emefiele feet.... when it analysed CBN audited report and highlight that Nigeria net external reserve was just $3.7billion left to defend the Naira....
Every other cash in the reserve was encumbered...
Before 2023.... the black market was Nigeria official FX market....even when the gap between the black market and CBN rate was 100% apart.... Almost every dollar in Nigeria ends at the black market...
Nigeria media and Native Wailers derive joy quoting the black market rate as official rate.... Tinubu has since clean up the market.... with all the FX Cabals running the markets now back to the farm ....
For the past 2 years....the Naira is not only stable and appreciating....there is no difference between black and official FX rate....
The $3.7billion net reserve Tinubu met would have been able to fund import for less than one month....with Nigeria trade balance roving around the deficits region...
It was merely a matter of time before essential goods like drugs become scarce due to scarcity of dollar for import...
That is why it's hilarious seeing some grown up men accusing Tinubu of rushing his reforms when we were all already about to cross the red line into chaos
God is a Nigerian and Tinubu is God's project.... it's evident in the convulsions all his enemies suffer when they gather...
Emefiele ban importation of almost 50 goods to conserve foreign reserve yet it was still empty.... Tinubu lift the bans yet the reserve keeps rising like Ijebu garri...
Those who said the lifting of import ban will kill the Naira and reserve are now in shame ....
When Investors see the rising reserve... their confidence in investing in Nigeria soar as we see in the stock market biggest bullish run in History....
Lenders now offer Nigerians loans at the lowest interest ever .... IMF was crying today that they can give Nigeria very cheap loans instead of borrowing from Arabia nations...
Almost every developed countries on Earth were built with borrowed money...
Only Obi and his wailers can fix Nigeria multi trillion dollar infrastructural gap with annual capital revenue of less than $10billion....
They are poor in thinking and pocket....
Nigeria rising reserve will slow inflation growth rate...
It gives every Nigerian window to trade abroad, pay online....
My banks have been advertising dollars to me... first time since early 2000s
These rising reserves make payments of borrowed loans easier only obi and wailers are ignorant of these...
Nigeria is rising..... We would never ever follow wailers and obi to Egypt.....
At the end of Tinubu 8 years.... our kids and grand kids would grow up to read our social media posts and found how we supported these economic revolution...
Obi, Atiku and other wailers would be put in a hall of shame on how they desperately tried to truncate the rise of the greatest black nation on Earth....
Earlier today, the Vice President of Nigeria, Kashim Shettima, arrived in Ekiti State to commission the landmark Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu Flyover, perform the groundbreaking ceremony of the Ekiti Knowledge Zone, and inaugurate the new Economic and Financial Crimes Commission Zonal Office in Ado-Ekiti.
A significant day for Ekiti as these projects further underscore the state’s commitment to infrastructure development, innovation, investment, and institutional growth.
Today, President of the Senate, Senator Godswill Akpabio, represented President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, officially commission the completed main carriageways of the Outer Southern Expressway (OSEX), starting from Gudu Cemetery to Kabusa Junction.
Tomorrow, which will be the second day of our over 30 days of projects commissioning in the FCT, we will commission the newly constructed Arterial Road N5 (Obafemi Awolowo Way) from Life Camp Junction to RR III, Dape District section.
Contract for the OSEX main carriageways from RRI to RRII was awarded in October last year, meaning that the project, with two bridges, was delivered within eight months.
This is another demonstration that nothing is impossible if we are determined and committed to achieving results.
"At least 80% of projects that we have completed are projects initiated by various administrations."
FCT Minister Nyesom Wike says ongoing road and infrastructure work is fulfilling promises to Abuja residents, including roads, water supply, and informal sector relocation.
"Up until now the world wasn't taking Nigeria seriously until when President Tinubu came in. Shell pulled out of Nigeria... but February this year, Shell pledged an investment of 20 billion US dollars in our economy. Before Shell makes such an investment, they take a minimum 20-year outlook. That tells you they have looked at the foundation that is being laid by this government." — Political Scientist, Obafemi George

PRESIDENT TINUBU INAUGURATES APO MAIN CARRIAGEWAYS
President Bola Tinubu has reassured of his Administration's resolve to provide more infrastructure projects across the Country.
The President gave this assurance during the inauguration of the two main carriageways of the Outer Southern Expressway OSEX, from the ring road 1 by the Gudu Cemetery to the Ring road 11 by the Kabusa junction.
Onoze Yakubu reports that President Bola Tinubu, represented by the Senate President Goodswill Akpabio described the infrastructure development as a major step in enhancing transportation and connectivity within the Territory.
He commended the FCT Minister for his precision in ensuring timely completion of the project.
The Outer Southern Expressway (OSEX) project was constructed in stages, culminating in the latest inauguration.
FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, instrumental in overseeing the project's development, says it is a promise made and fulfilled.
Stakeholders describe the OSEX as Abuja's crucial transport backbone, designed to link the city center with expanding districts, thereby improving urban mobility.
I joined Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu at the Eko Convention Centre for Day 2 of Invest Lagos 3.0.
Our focus this year was to position Lagos as the primary business gateway to Africa. We spent the day engaging with investors and business leaders, making it clear that Lagos is open for business and we are actively building the infrastructure and policy framework to back it up.
President Tinubu approved a Presidential Task Force on Ebola preparedness and allocated N10 billion to strengthen Nigeria’s emergency health response.
The task force will enhance surveillance at airports and border corridors, activate isolation centers, and implement stricter screening measures for passengers from high-risk countries.
@carfaithfun@NewsCentralTV Hard work is what differentiate leader from lazy twitter rat like @carfaithfun Ewu brain 🧠 that use all his life to play ludo on social media for Obi fraud
