The road to 2027 begins with the women.

Her Excellency, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, First Lady of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, is bringing women stakeholders together for a powerful mobilisation and empowerment summit tomorrow, October 5, 2026, at 8:00am at the Bola Ahmed Tinubu International Conference Center, Abuja.

It’s a time to connect, engage and hear how the Renewed Hope Agenda 2.0 is taking Nigeria from bold reforms to shared prosperity.

Women, this is our moment. Bring your voice. Stand with the APC. Stand with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Vice President Kashim Shettima as we march towards 2027.

I received with deep sadness the news of the passing of Hafidh Ameir Hassan, husband of my dear sister and colleague, Her Excellency President Samia Suluhu Hassan of Tanzania @SuluhuSamia.

I know what this loss means to President Samia and her family. She has lost a lifelong companion, her children a beloved father, and the family one of its pillars. For almost five decades he stood quietly beside her, through every season of her service to Tanzania. A companionship of that depth becomes part of who a person is. To lose it is to lose a portion of oneself, and I feel for her deeply.

On behalf of the Government and people of Nigeria, and on behalf of my family, I extend my deepest condolences to President Samia, her children, the Hassan family and the people of Tanzania.

At moments such as this, the bonds that unite us as Africans matter even more. Nigeria mourns with Tanzania and stands with President Samia and her family in this hour of grief.

May the Almighty Allah grant Hafidh Ameir Hassan eternal rest, comfort all those he has left behind, and give President Samia and her family the strength and fortitude to bear this painful loss.

Bola Ahmed Tinubu
President

TRANSFORM THE SYSTEM: BEYOND ASKING WOMEN TO ADAPT

Women’s political participation is not simply about creating space for women within existing systems. It is about transforming political systems that continue to exclude, limit and disadvantage women from meaningful leadership.

Across Africa, women hold just 27% of parliamentary seats, 9% of political party leadership positions, 13% of senior executive positions, and 24% of cabinet posts. These figures underscore the persistent barriers to achieving genuine gender equality in political and decision-making spaces.

In this week’s African Newspage Quote of the Week, Ms. Ahunna Eziakonwa, UN Special Adviser on Africa, challenges policymakers and institutions to move beyond asking women to adapt to unequal systems.

The call is clear: transform the systems themselves and create more inclusive pathways for women to participate, lead and shape decisions that affect their communities and countries.

WOMEN IN POLITICS: IS REPRESENTATION ENOUGH?

Women’s political leadership is not a question of whether women can govern. It is a question of how much longer West Africa can afford to govern without fully including women in positions of political power.

With women holding just 18.4% of parliamentary seats across West Africa, the region continues to face a significant gender gap in political representation. Closing that gap is essential to building more inclusive governance and stronger democratic institutions.

In this week’s African Newspage Quote of the Week, Dr. Jide Okeke, Director, UNDP Regional Programme for Africa, challenges West Africa to confront the persistent barriers limiting women’s participation in political leadership and accelerate the journey towards meaningful gender parity.

Fellow Nigerians,

Three years ago, on this day, I first addressed you as your President. I pledged courage in leadership, honesty in reform, and commitment to rebuilding the foundations of our economy.

The decisions we have taken since have been difficult but necessary. Today, the signs of recovery, resilience, and renewal are visible across our country.

In honour of this milestone, and as a precursor to Democracy Day, today, across all six geopolitical zones, over twenty groups of strategic projects in energy, health, enterprise, education, and public works would be commissioned.

Under the Midstream and Downstream Gas Infrastructure Fund, four flagship projects today. FEMADEC Energy at the Federal University of Technology, Owerri — the first of twenty CNG refuelling stations in our federal universities. Portland Gas at Ojota, Lagos — a 96,000 SCMD CNG mother station, with a daughter station in Kubwa, Abuja. Ibile Oil and Gas, with its network of fifteen CNG refuelling stations across Lagos State. And Rolling Energy at Jahi, Abuja — anchoring a portfolio of seventeen RLNG and LCNG facilities across Kaduna, Kano and Borno. Together, these projects will lower transport costs, expand cleaner energy, and strengthen our energy sovereignty.

In the health sector, thirteen new projects today across all six zones — every one of them ribbon-cut on the ground today. Six new facilities at our federal teaching hospitals: the President Bola Tinubu Complex at the Federal Medical Centre, Abuja; the Trauma Centre Pharmacy Quality Control Laboratory at Ahmadu Bello University Teaching Hospital, Zaria; the Infertility and Assisted Reproductive Technology Centre at Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University Teaching Hospital, Bauchi; the new Mental Health Complex at the University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital; the new Administrative Complex at the University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital, Enugu; and the Laboratory Complex at the University of Uyo Teaching Hospital.

Also commissioned are the State Emergency Operations Centres in Kano, Sokoto and Katsina; the newly constructed Lagos Vaccine Hub in Oshodi; and the National Emergency Medical Service and Ambulance System fleet — one hundred and forty-five tricycle ambulances, six boat ambulances, and seventy-nine new ambulances for our federal hospitals.

Two revitalised primary health centres at Gadon Kaya in Kano and Aboh in Delta State. These two stand for the almost three thousand primary health centres our administration has revitalised under the IMPACT programme over the last two years, alongside twenty-seven equipped Comprehensive Emergency Obstetric and Newborn Care sites, one thousand six hundred and two revitalised Level 1 facilities, and one thousand three hundred and sixty revitalised Level 2 facilities, together bringing quality care closer to ordinary Nigerians in every zone.

Alongside these, the new SMEDAN Industrial Development Centre at Ikorodu, Lagos, and additional projects in education and public works being delivered across the country.

These projects are not ceremonial symbols. They are evidence that the Renewed Hope Agenda is being felt in homes, businesses, schools and hospitals across our federation.

Today is the commemoration of our inauguration. It is not a day for long speeches. On June 12, our Democracy Day, we will present our full scorecard to Nigerians.

And so, by the authority vested in me as President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, I hereby declare all these projects — across our health system, our energy infrastructure, our enterprise, our education and our public works — duly commissioned, and dedicated to the service of the Nigerian people.

The work continues.
The reforms continue.
And our resolve remains unshaken.
Thank you, and may God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

"We want to create a friendly environment for women where they can contest and win elections." - @hm_womenaffairs

Supporting women to get into politics and have a successful career was one of the big themes from @ImmaculateIman who was with us today. The Nigerian Minister of Women’s Affairs had a wide-ranging conversation with women parliamentarians here in Westminster including @KateOsamor @Margaret_Curran and Dame Karen Bradley MP. #IWD

@DrJoeAbah @Tosenloo Yes Dr. All National policies are domesticated at the sub National level and implemented at the LG/Ward level.

[Imaan Sulaiman-Ibrahim fsi @ImmaculateIman]

@DrJoeAbah Thank you Dr. I will send you a message inbox, we will agree on a suitable date during the week of the 19th of January 2026. The Nigerian Women have rolled out the Red Carpet for you😀🙏🏽🙌🏾

[Dr Joe Abah, OON @DrJoeAbah]

I picked up my sister who was visiting Nigeria for Christmas from the US from the airport. Because their flight was delayed, they had to drop me off at the Federal Ministry of Women Affairs for some work I am doing there for a client.

My sister asked said: “Ministry of Women Affairs? Nice building but what do they do there?”

Interviewing them, some of what I learnt was:
- ensuring that children are protected during adoptions
- ensuring social protection for women and children
- ensuring women have a means of livelihood to be able to nurture their children and families
-ensuring that children’s brains get the right nutrition and stimulation to be able to develop in the crucial first 2,000 days of life
- Developing a policy for domestic care givers (house helps and nannies)
- Coordinating with the Ministries of Health, Education, Water Resources, Agriculture, Water Resources and Labour to give women and children a chance of a better life.
- Working to avoid violence against women and girl
- Advocating that men are not the enemy but are important stakeholders in a quest for a better society.

A lot of work goes in the civil service that don’t make headlines because they are not construction of roads and bridges. A lot of people dedicate their lives to doing unglamorous but vital things. They work for 35 years and retire anonymously.

Your private sector arrogance of targets and KPIs to sell soft drinks can never understand this.

Show some respect.

To the Commonwealth Family,

It is time for Africa. After 100 years of the Commonwealth Games, they have never been hosted on African soil. By bringing the Commonwealth Centenary Games to Nigeria in 2030, you will send a powerful message that every region of the Commonwealth matters, and that Africa is not only part of the story, but central to its future.

Nigeria is the gateway. Africa is the stage. The Commonwealth is the family. Let us make history together in 2030. Let us complete the circle of Commonwealth unity.

The dream must be realized. The time is now.

Federal Republic of Nigeria
