Some of the most important things in life feel ordinary, until you stop and think about what makes them possible. A cure. A car. A comet. Someone right now is chasing answers to questions we haven't even asked yet. This is #CuriosityOnAMission. 🔬

Governor Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa has reiterated Ondo State’s commitment to supporting the reactivation of a dormant oil field that has remained inactive since 1998, during a meeting with executives of Sahara Energy Group in Akure.
The governor emphasized that reviving the asset would boost Ondo’s contribution to Nigeria’s oil production target of 2 million barrels per day and improve the state’s standing among oil-producing states. He stressed the need to address infrastructure deficiencies, curb leakages, modernize equipment, and adopt digital systems to enhance efficiency and transparency in production.
Aiyedatiwa assured investors of a peaceful and business-friendly environment, highlighting ongoing dredging projects and planned interventions to improve access to oil-producing communities and production sites.
Speaking on behalf of Sahara Energy, Kola Adesina described the oil field as a stranded asset with significant untapped potential. He disclosed that the company is carrying out technical assessments and integrity tests to determine the requirements for full reactivation.
Both parties agreed that increased investment, technological innovation, and strong collaboration between government and operators are essential to unlocking the asset’s value, increasing national oil output, and delivering benefits to host communities.
🗣️BudgIT Marks 2026 Federal Budget as Ambitious but Unviable
BudgIT has raised significant concerns over the Federal Government’s 2026 Budget, describing it as ambitious but unrealistic and, within the current fiscal realities, not feasible. The approved budget of N68.32 trillion is the largest in Nigeria’s history, yet nearly half of it depends on borrowing.
PRESS STATEMENT
#2026FGBudget #AskQuestions
🗣️Dear fellow Nigerians,
The 2026 Federal Government budget is the biggest in our history. N68.32 trillion approved. Let that number sit for a second.
But here is what they did not lead with. Nigeria is only expected to earn N36.87 trillion this year. That means the government can only fund 53.9% of its own budget from actual revenue. The remaining 46.1% will come from borrowing. And debt service alone will consume nearly 45% of everything we earn. That is N15.81 trillion going straight to paying back what we already owe, before a single road is fixed, before a single school is built, before a single hospital gets funded.
Every year, Nigeria sets revenue targets. Every year, we fall short. In 2025, the government projected N36.35 trillion in revenue. By June, only N10.92 trillion had come in. Yet the 2026 projections follow the same pattern, the same optimism, the same numbers that history tells us we will not meet.
Our full analysis of the 2026 Federal Government Approved Budget drops tomorrow. Do not miss it.

Very inspiring words from Elon Musk today:
"I always think about this. There are always problems on earth. There’s always things that we wish to be better, that we want to solve on Earth, and we should solve them. But there there also has to be things that get you excited about the future — that make you glad to wake up in the morning, because you can’t wait to see what happens next.
That’s the future @SpaceX wants to bring to you."
