Hello Mr. Olusegun Dada. The 3,700 towers to be built will they be built by Nigerian contractors or Indians and Chinese will bribe their way through to get them again and import their nationals to do them?
We have seen this experience before. There are competent Nigerian contractors. They at the beginning were building for telecom companies. Suddenly the Indians and Chinese bribed their way down to NASS and our companies were out of business.
Nigeria First is Nigeria First. Jobs and anything Nigerians can do must go to Nigerians first. And there is no job Nigerians can’t handle, including space technologies.
Secondly, have you put a system and technologies in place so when Nigerian contractors get job civil servants will not delay their pay and extort them of their money?
Nigerian civil servants are evil. Can you imagine to get import and export licenses one had paid official fees for they are demanding N7 million?
Imagine 1000 people are applying at N7 million each that’s N7 billion that will be shared between few people. And what will they do with money? They will rush to FX market and run down on naira, export the money to pay school fees and buy properties abroad.
Meanwhile, Nigerian businesspeople who are growing the economy, employing resources, pay wages and taxes are frustrated. They leave their businesses to spend months in Abuja chasing payment for works they had done.
I am not telling you hearsay Sir, I am telling live stories. The thieves are alive and kicking in the Nigeria bureaucracy.
The evil civil servants are bent on frustrating Tinubu’s reforms for selfish reasons. Don’t be surprised they will support opposition and even military coup to overthrow the reforms and to maintain status quo.
Why was the FAAC toll system not working? Civil servants sabotaged it. When systems are being developed they are tested before deployment.
Solution, build systems and technologies that will continuously block them.
@NigAffairs@woye1 I can testify to that. I was a student of St Gregory's College when Tinubu returned the school to the Church and also paid NECO fees of every students in Lagos. Tinubu has been a good leader since day 1
@maribeemjay@Emedikee@nifemioguntoye I can swear on my life, you dont own one thing in South Africa as you dey. Me as a Nigerian living in South Africa I own a lot of investment alongside countless other Nigerians.
It is with great pride that I present to you the very first Nigerian Adire chess board. Each one sells for a million naira(700 dollars).
It’s a limited collection of just 100 pieces. 50% of proceeds goes towards charity and I will personally hand deliver to the first 20 people.
Today, I formally submitted my resignation letter as Nigeria’s Minister of Foreign Affairs at the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, in line with the directive of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, and the provisions of the Electoral Act.
This moment marks the close of a significant chapter of service; focused on strengthening Nigeria’s global partnerships, deepening diplomatic engagement, and delivering a people-centred approach to foreign policy.
I express my sincere appreciation to President Tinubu @officialABAT for the trust and opportunity to serve under the Renewed Hope Agenda, and to contribute to advancing Nigeria’s foreign policy through the 4D Doctrine.
I remain deeply grateful for the support of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs @NigeriaMFA, as well as the collaboration and partnership of colleagues and partners across the world.
The journey continues, guided by duty, purpose, and the call to serve.

My dear fellow Nigerians,
Today, as I clock another year in the journey of life, I'm filled with joy and gratitude for the opportunity given me to serve this great nation. I want to take this moment to thank Nigerians for their messages, show of love and prayers on the occasion of my 74th birthday. I thank all our citizens for their patriotism, solidarity and support for our administration.
To those who have taken space in newspapers or paid for air time on radio and television to wish me well, I thank you immensely.
I must thank my wife, First Lady Oluremi Tinubu, for her kind and loving words. I also thank Vice President Kashim Shettima for all he said about me.
Consistent with my tradition over the years to mark my birthday in line with the mood of the nation each year, I resolved to also observe this year's birthday low key.
As I mark this special day, I am reminded of the challenges we've faced since we initiated our reforms. I'm glad that our sacrifices have not been in vain as we can see some glittering light at the end of the tunnel, despite the temporary setback caused by ongoing Middle East crisis.
The credit for the positive outcomes we have achieved does not belong solely to me, our Renewed Hope team and to our government. We achieved the gains together.
As we march towards the third anniversary of our administration, it is my deepest conviction that we shall succeed in building a brighter future for our citizens and future generations.
We are determined to confront some of the challenges we face today, and with your continued support, we shall overcome.
Let us continue to work together to build a stronger, prosperous and more resilient nation that will make Nigeria the pride of Africa.
Thank you all, and happy 74th birthday to me!
Bola Ahmed Tinubu
President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria
