1GW NORTHERN ELECTRIFICATION PROJECT
I had a productive meeting with the Honourable Minister of Power, Joseph Olasunkanmi Tegbe, to discuss the Sun Africa Power Project and the proposed 1GW Northern Electrification Project.
Following the Northern Governors’ approval for the formation of NNEC as the Northern Region’s renewable energy company, NNEC has now been registered and is the vehicle for the implementation of the project.
This initiative, financed by the US EXIM Bank with the support of the US Government, aims to deliver up to 1,000 MW of utility-scale solar generation capacity with 500MW BESS across participating Northern States and signifies a new and stronger relationship between Nigeria and the United States.
We reviewed progress on project structuring and governance frameworks designed to insulate the initiative from political interference, safeguard investments, and guarantee financing repayment throughout the project’s life.
A memo will be presented to the Federal Executive Council (FEC) for approval before full implementation commences.
We are grateful to His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, for his visionary leadership in driving this transformative initiative.
Together, we are building a brighter, more self-reliant Northern Nigeria through strategic renewable energy infrastructure.
By 2050, Africa will have the world’s largest youth population. The real challenge is preparing them to lead in the technologies of the future.
Nigeria cannot compete in the industries of tomorrow with the infrastructure of yesterday.
That is why NASENI is establishing the Sustainable Emerging Technologies Institute (SETI) in Kano.
I was pleased to host the HM @fmitiofficial, Dr. @joduwole, at the institute as we continue building a platform that bridges the gap between talent, research, and industry.
Through SETI, we are creating an environment where the next generation of innovators can develop solutions that will drive Nigeria’s industrial and technological transformation.

@instablog9ja Pls can you provide a video clip Tuggar said that. Tuggar is loyal to Mr President he believed that Tunibu is a democratic person. What happened in Bauchi is clearly undemocratic.
@channelstv It is clear that everybody knows that the people of Bauchi State are wise when it comes to politics. How can a greedy man stand with M.A. Lawan, who is considered one of the worst governors in the history of Bauchi State?

If we had a government in Bauchi State, I wouldn't have said anything is wrong because, of course, a sitting governor can sort things out for us. So, but Bauchi does not have a leader. Pate is not supposed to be the leader of APC Bauchi.

Yesterday, I was in Amman, Jordan, where I met with the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the Jordanian Armed Forces, Major General Yousef A. Alhnaity.
On behalf of the Government of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, I signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Government of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan on Defence Cooperation and Intelligence Sharing.
The MoU signed seeks to strengthen our cooperation, particularly as the security threats confronting Nigeria continue to evolve in complexity, asymmetric, and cross-border by nature.
This agreement reflects the commitment of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration to a “bottoms-up approach” aimed at ensuring peace, security, and stability across Nigeria.
As matter of fact Peter Obi is not deserve for any political position, it is on record he was a governor for good 8 years without any development legacy in Anambra.
We really underestimate how dangerous Peter Obi is. We take it for granted that this man was a huge failure in Anambra State:
- Zero Infrastructure
- The refuse he left in Anambra State still smells till today—and is what Soludo is still cleaning
- Zero savings
Nothing to write home about.
What is most shocking is that some Nigerians still follow him despite his confession that his Chief of Staff and most important adviser is a MAD Man!
Do you know how demented a man has to be for him to be able to communicate to mad people? And even be able to sit with them and have them communicate with him?
This is the kind of person some of our brothers want us to handover the affairs of this country to? NO WAY!
SECOND BASE JARE!!!!!!
@yesmylo As matter of fact Peter Obi is not deserve for any political position, it is on record he was a governor for good 8 years without any development legacy in Anambra.
Over the course of a two-day high-level Working Group engagement, I welcomed senior U.S. government officials and reaffirmed Nigeria’s appreciation for the strong partnership with the United States. These sustained engagements reflect a mature, trust-based relationship focused on protecting civilians, promoting religious freedom, and addressing shared security challenges.
As my engagements at Davos drew to a close, I shared brief conversations on the margins of #WEF26 with @JoseRamosHorta1, President of Timor-Leste, and our Minister of Finance, Wale Edun, a reminder that global forums are also shaped by dialogue, reflection, and shared purpose.
