VIDEO: Nigeria Records First Tele-Robotic Surgery As Surgeon Operates On Abuja Patient From Ogun

Nigeria has recorded its first tele-robotic surgery, with a surgeon remotely performing a complex kidney cancer operation on a patient in Abuja from Mowe, Ogun State.

The procedure, a robot-assisted right radical nephrectomy to remove a cancerous kidney tumour, was conducted by Redeemer’s Health Village in collaboration with RoboMed Global. The surgeon operated the robotic system in real time from a Toumai console at the facility in Ogun State, while the patient was at Nisa Premier Hospital in Abuja, about 500 kilometres away.

PRESS RELEASE

FEDERAL MINISTRY OF FINANCE

5 July 2026

𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐏𝐎𝐍𝐒𝐄 𝐓𝐎 𝐑𝐄𝐂𝐄𝐍𝐓 𝐌𝐈𝐒𝐑𝐄𝐏𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐒 𝐎𝐍 𝐏𝐔𝐁𝐋𝐈𝐂 𝐄𝐗𝐏𝐄𝐍𝐃𝐈𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐄

The Federal Government has noted recent public commentary alleging that approximately two percent of GDP amounting to over ₦8 trillion was spent outside the approved budget based on references to the IMF Representative in Nigeria and the Fund's 2026 Article IV Consultation Report. These claims are incorrect and risk misleading the public regarding the government's financial management.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Federal Government does not operate a "shadow budget" or expend public funds outside the constitutional and statutory framework established for public finance.

Under Sections 80 - 83 and 162 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 (as amended), public funds may only be withdrawn and expended in accordance with the Constitution and laws enacted by the National Assembly. Accordingly, Federal Government expenditure is incurred pursuant to duly enacted Appropriation Acts, Supplementary Appropriation Acts, and other statutory authorities enacted by the National Assembly. In addition, multi-year capital projects which necessarily span multiple budgets are implemented in accordance with extant laws and approved provisions for capital rollovers where applicable. These are recognised features of public financial management and should not be misconstrued as expenditures outside the budget.

It is inaccurate to suggest that trillions of naira have been secretly spent outside legislative approval. Such allegations should have identified the specific projects purportedly executed without appropriation or legal authority and present credible evidence in support of the claim. To be meaningful, assertions of this magnitude must be supported by verifiable facts rather than conjecture.

For the purpose of public education, it is important to distinguish between appropriation, expenditure authorisation, financing, and fiscal reporting.

Nigeria's public finance framework contains several statutory transfers, first-line charges and intervention mechanisms established by Acts of the National Assembly. These include, among others:

- Statutory allocations and contributions to development commissions and other agencies created by law.

- Cost of collection and cost of administration retained by designated revenue-collecting agencies as expressly provided under relevant legislation.

- Capital expenditure approved in separate budgets for some agencies and the Federal Capital Territory by the National Assembly.

- Special interventions approved by law to address national priorities such as security, infrastructure, disaster response, and other strategic national programmes or emergencies.

- Debt service obligations and other statutory transfers that are authorised under applicable legislation.

These expenditures are neither secret nor illegal. They are established by law, disclosed in various fiscal reports, and subject to applicable oversight, audit and accountability mechanisms. Their treatment for reporting purposes may differ from their presentation in the annual Appropriation Act, particularly under international statistical and reporting standards adopted by the Federal Government. Such classification differences should not be misrepresented as evidence of unlawful expenditure.

It is equally incorrect to suggest that the reported amount represents an increase in budget deficit. A fiscal deficit is determined by the relationship between total government revenues and total government expenditures. Whether a capital project is financed through annual appropriations, supplementary appropriations, statutory transfers, approved intervention mechanisms, or other lawful financing arrangements does not, by itself, increase the fiscal deficit.

Indeed, the IMF's observation relates primarily to the comprehensiveness, timing and presentation of fiscal reporting rather than the legality of expenditure. Like many countries, Nigeria continues to strengthen the alignment between budget presentation and international fiscal reporting standards as part of ongoing public financial management reforms. As a matter of fact, His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR had himself formally requested the National Assembly to end the practice of running multiple and overlapping budgets, and rather harmonise into a single, cohesive framework during his presentation of the 2026 Appropriation Bill to a joint session of the National Assembly on December 19, 2025.

The Federal Government remains firmly committed to prudent fiscal management, transparency and accountability. Recent reforms have significantly strengthened public financial management with ongoing improvements in budget assumptions and credibility, transparent revenue administration, digitalisation of government financial processes, and stronger treasury management. These reforms have been acknowledged by the IMF itself and other multilateral institutions, as well as international credit rating agencies, major media organisations and investors.

Public debate is both welcome and essential in a democratic society. However, it should be based on facts and an accurate understanding of Nigeria's constitutional and fiscal framework. Mischaracterising technical observations as evidence of unlawful expenditure neither advances informed public discourse nor strengthens democratic accountability.

The Federal Government will continue to uphold the rule of law, maintain transparency in the management of public resources, and work with the National Assembly, oversight institutions, development partners and the Nigerian people to further strengthen fiscal governance in line with international best practices.

Signed:

Taiwo Oyedele
Honourable Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy
Federal Republic of Nigeria

5 Little Things That Can Determine Your Success In The Corporate World

As an adult male, you can boost your chances of success in the corporate world and fasten your upward mobility by doing these five things:

Forgoing tattoos
Not wearing earrings
Refraining from using swear words
Ditching cornrows and dreadlocks (They are cute, and I like them)
Chewing gum

There is nothing inherently wrong with any of the above, and in fact, in certain fields, such as entertainment, sports, and activism, they can boost your career. But in politics, business, and diplomacy, they can give the wrong impression and affect your perception, because these are vocations that require not just self-awareness, but awareness of others and especially, perception management.

Try to think of a President or Prime Minister with a tattoo, earrings, cornrows, or dreadlocks. To the best of my knowledge, there are none. And progress in life often requires sacrifices. Forgoing what you would like to do to achieve what you want to accomplish in life.

I love cornrows, and that was my preferred hairstyle until October 31, 2003, when I got a job at the Presidential Villa and had to relocate to Nigeria from the UK. I knew that my cornrows, though cute, would not suit my new role.

One thing I can assure you is that your use and choice of words affect your upward mobility in areas beyond entertainment, athletics, and activism.

Increase your vocabulary, so you can express yourself, even when angry, without using expletives, foul words, or swearing. If you are known to continue flowing with clean, clear, and wholesome words, even under pressure, you will project an image of self-control that is so admirable that it invariably draws people of influence to you.

Yes, I know you think everyone does it, but you are not everyone. You are unique. Or you want to be.

Therefore, use clean, decent, and polished words, whether you are speaking in English or your mother tongue. You may think people won't notice, but they do—especially the right people.

Outside of entertainment and activism, those who are impressed by F and S words are not the type of people who can help you.

And chewing gum is perceived as infantile and makes you appear unserious. And it can easily distract others in the corporate environment where you exist. And of those it distracts are your superiors; you can kiss your promotion goodbye.

Understand that these are perceptions, not necessarily reality. But humans are driven more by what they perceive than by what is real.

Each of these five things appears small, and you would think that they should not ordinarily affect your career trajectory, but do not underestimate the big difference small things can make.

If I were a college career counselor or in career services, I’d quickly be figuring out how to get students to understand these forward deployed engineer jobs exist and how to get them.

The requirements are a mix of deep technical skills, often CS majors or minors. You must be great at understanding problem solving, how to have systems thinking, and have a strong business acumen. The kicker, of course, is to make sure you’re very deep in AI agents; you need to have fluency in coding agents, MCP, CLIs, Skills, and so on.

Hundreds (thousands?) of technology companies will be hiring for these roles, same with any consulting and IT services company, and the vast major of mid-size and large enterprises will be hiring for this talent internally as well.

One great example of opportunity for highly technical talent out there.

PLUMBING TIP:📌📌📌

Make sure to be mindful of your washing machine valves and hoses.

Often they are hidden behind your machine and are out of sight out of mind.

This can save you a horrible flood and is actually the number 1 cause of home flooding. 👍🙂
