REQUEST FOR EXPRESSION OF INTEREST
His Excellency, the Governor of Nasarawa State, Eng Abdullahi Sule, has approved the commencement of the procurement phase for the development of a 4,000 bedspace Student On-campus Accommodation at the Nasarawa State University Keffi (NSUK)
I frankly do not believe that religious (Islam in this case) inclination repudiates economic development. Drugs and alcohol don’t bring development, neither does insanity. Kano obviously can and needs to do better.
Where politics in Lagos has generally been strategically guided both locally and at the federal level, Kano has some of the most unproductive forms of politics in Nigeria. In each presidential election since 1999, Kano voters pour twice as many votes as Lagos into the election, but the state’s leaders have not found how to use this power to strategically attract development to the state beyond crumbs of political appointments for a few.
Local politics is much worse. From the day after the last election to the day before the next one four years later, people are out on radio stations doing political battles on behalf of one principal or another over literally nothing. There is nowhere in Nigeria where political talk is more ubiquitous and intense than in Kano, but all of it has not amounted to much beyond an underpass here, an overpass there: a model of unambitious infrastructural development now copied by other northern states. Three people led Kano between May 1999 and May 2023. But the rabid personal animosities between them and their supporters, and the ways in which those animosities are expressed in varying contexts daily, have made sure that what you have in Kano is effectively a politics of anti-development or quite simply a politics of noise for its own sake.
Yet, for Kano, the challenge of transforming into a modern economy remains: a local power grid, mass transit, mass housing, more professionalised classes and services, and to bring back the manufacturing industries to match the rise of the shopping plazas. The challenge of reclaiming its position as the economic heartbeat of the north also remains; so too is the kind of serious politics and transformative leadership that getting there from here will require.
First, Kano’s leaders must fashion out a broadly agreeable and rancour-free political and economic agenda for the future, the next 25 years say, which each government must adhere to and lead the people towards, regardless of party differences. Second, Kano must find a way to position its voting power in national politics to attract federal assistance for local development initiatives, and for the implementation of local industrial policy, for instance. Third, and perhaps most important, Kano must formalise its largely informal economy, to bring in more taxes and revenues to the local government.

It really heartbreaking been trying to reach all my cousins staying in Mangu.
Now that I was able to talk to Anty Sadiya she was crying telling me that their house was burnt, right now they are being displaced In the Mosque.
Muslims' houses are being attacked and set ablaze at Mangu town but the Nigerian securities on the ground are doing nothing about it.
Repost for the world to see. This is unacceptable.
Non Muslims in Nigeria are very happy when they see Arabs going against the principles of Islam. It gives them so much joy.
They start the "Shari'a is for the Poor" nonsense.
I'll respond to this in a few Hadith Inspired Tweets In Shaa Allah.

@hb_textile took me round this factory some two years ago and from what I saw then the staff strength is triple or four times it used to be. This is evident growth, keep soaring higher oga sir. Khairan 🙏🏾
I was overwhelmed with a sense of pride as I walk through my tailoring factory today (Kano). seeing a flood of young and professional tailors, all within the age bracket of (18-24) years, making a living while paying their dues of perfection to our esteemed customers.

The EFCC has uncovered a total sum of N37.1BN allegedly laundered in the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs under former minister Sadiya Umar-Farouk.
Details of the ongoing probe exclusively obtained by Sunday PUNCH revealed that the money was transferred from the Federal Government’s coffers and sent to 38 different bank accounts domiciled in five legacy commercial banks belonging to or connected with a contractor, James Okwete.
Following receipt of the funds, Okwete allegedly transferred N6,746,034,000.00 to Bureau De Change Operators, withdrew N540,000,000.00 in cash, purchased luxury cars with N288,348,600.00, and bought luxury houses in Abuja and Enugu State with N2,195,115,000.00.
Fifty-three companies were allegedly traced to Okwete, who was also said to have used 47 of the companies to lift Federal Government contracts amounting to N27,423,824,339.86.
He is also linked with 143 bank accounts in 12 commercial banks in which 134 accounts are corporate accounts linked to different companies.
Take your kids to Islamiyya and make sure they know their religion very well from a young age. So that later on in life, the basic principles of Islam will not look like extremism to them.
As we delve into the National Migration Dialogue, we will explore the dynamics of youth migration, often referred to as the Japa Syndrome, assessing its impact on the Nigerian economy, and reflect on tangible strategies aimed at harnessing youth migration for national development
