With the regulatory framework fully locked in, these newly procured train fleets are set to officially begin operations by the 3rd quarter of 2026. Navigating the shared NRC tracks, LAMATA is aggressively scaling up to deliver 24 daily services on the Red Line corridor by September at the latest. Each trip will comfortably move at least 2,000 passengers at a time, providing massive, reliable, and world-class transit relief to millions of Lagosians during intense peak hours.

BREAKING: Two people have climbed to the top of the Empire State Building in New York City, holding a banner from the skyscraper's antenna reading, "When the power of love beats the love of power, the world knows peace."
As of now it's unclear how the pair reached the top of the building as police work to get them down from the spire, 1,454 feet above the ground.
🚨 Sunderland were quite surprised. They were not expecting Granit Xhaka to inform them that he wanted to leave. Chelsea are playing down paying £25m-£35m due to his age. Now it's on club to club, as, on the player side he's ready to accept any condition.

Listen as Interior Minister announced the arrest of 7 terrorists leaders at Katsina Airport after returning from Hajj. Yet some terrorist sympathisers online are trying to debunk the narrative. I wonder why some of you guys support terrorism consciously.

I must commend the President of the Senate, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, the Joint Committee on Identity and National Population Commission, and the distinguished members of the National Assembly for their invaluable contributions to the passage of this landmark legislation.
I also acknowledge the Honourable Minister of the Interior, our development partners including Identity for Development (ID4D), the management and staff of NIMC, and all Nigerians whose support made this historic achievement possible.
Together, we are building a more secure, inclusive and prosperous Nigeria.
This is the Renewed Hope Agenda at work.
Bola Ahmed Tinubu
PRESIDENT
I have today signed the NIMC Act 2026 into law.
For nearly twenty years, Nigeria’s identity system operated under a law written for a different era. That era is over.
This new Act gives our nation a modern, secure and digital identity framework fit for the Nigeria we are building, a Nigeria on the path to becoming a one-trillion-dollar economy.
Whenever we criticize this man, his supporters scream hatred, tribalism or bias.
But how can someone aspiring to be President of Nigeria give answers that are this shallow, illogical and completely devoid of substance and still expect to escape criticism?
Even a Local Government Chairman would think twice before responding to serious questions in such a disastrous manner. Yet, we are expected to entrust the affairs of over 200 million people to someone who struggles with basic policy questions.
Nobody would have criticized him for simply admitting he had no answer. It is far better to say, "I don't know," than to step into the public arena and repeatedly expose a shocking lack of depth and preparedness.
This is not hatred.
This is accountability.
Anyone seeking the highest office in the land must be ready to face scrutiny when their own words continually raise questions about their competence.
FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 53 YEARS, THE KNICKS ARE NBA CHAMPIONS 🏆
New York defeats San Antonio 4-1 in the NBA Finals, capturing their third championship in franchise history!
NEW YORK: Tonight, Knicks fans across our city will come together at Plaza 33 outside MSG, Radio City Music Hall, and Wollman Rink to watch Game 5 of the NBA Finals. My administration is proud to work with the Knicks to support these watch parties.
As we celebrate, be responsible, look out for one another, stay safe, be smart, and make this a night that reflects the very best of our city.
Let's go Knicks.
Fellow Nigerians
Today, we celebrate democracy and the enduring Nigerian spirit. For 27 unbroken years, since May 29, 1999, Nigerians have chosen their leaders through the ballot, witnessed peaceful transitions of power, and resolved disagreements in courtrooms and legislative chambers—not through violence. We have experienced the longest stretch of civilian rule in our history. Our democracy is not perfect, but it is ours, and we must continue to defend and strengthen it.
I will not stand before you and declare the work finished, because it is not. The housing deficit this nation carries is counted in the millions, and it will take years of steady labour to close, and I would rather say that to you plainly than flatter you with a lie.
But the difference now is real. For the first time in a generation, the whole housing value-chain is moving together: the land and its title, the building, the materials, the equipment, the finance, and the family at the end of it, and no part waits idle on another.
Housing has moved from a welfare conversation to a national growth strategy. Real estate and construction now sit among Nigeria’s major GDP contributors, proving that every affordable home financed is also a factory order, a labour contract, a mortgage asset, a household balance sheet and a contribution to national output.
That is what I promised for our housing sector, and that is what is now being delivered. Renewed Hope was never charity. It is the right of every Nigerian to a place called home.
Bola Ahmed Tinubu
President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria
