Moody’s just flipped 🇳🇬’s outlook to Positive.
For SMEs this is simple. Stronger reserves ($53bn) + a working FX market = you can import and plan again.
Growth holding at 4%. Inflation is easing.
Still B3 credit rating. Fiscal work unfinished. But 2023’s empty vault and $7bn backlog is behind us.
🏆Stability is the real stimulus. 🎯 Direction first
📈Then scale

Firm & steady wins the race. Nigeria Forward 🇳🇬💚

#Francis Duru's Misinformation on Nollywood

The first HOME VIDEO produced and sold in Nigeria was ṢÓṢÓ MÉJÌ by Ade Ajiboye (Big Abass). It was released in 1988.

In 1989, Alade Aromire produced and released ẸKÙN.

Earlier, ÀJÀNÍ ÒGÚN was produced by Ola Balogun in 1976 as the first major indigenous commercial CELLULOID FILM. It was followed ÌJÀ ÒMÌNIRA Produced by Adeyemi Afolayan (Ade-Love) in 1978.

In 1979, Hubert Ogunde produced AIYÉ, his first CELLULOID FILM.

Ogunde, who created the first PROFESSIONAL THEATRE company in 1945 and transitioned stage plays into influential Yoruba-language films also produced JÁÍYESINMI, ÀRÒPIN
pin N'TÈNÌYÀN, and ÀYÀNMỌ́.

The first English-language Home Video LIVING IN BONDAGE was produced in 1992.

So, where did Francis Duru get his story of "Igbos built Nollywood but Yorubas have become dominant" from?

Moody's on Friday revised Nigeria's outlook to "positive" from "stable", citing the country's improved ability to withstand external shocks due to its increased foreign exchange reserves and stronger-than-expected economic growth. https://t.co/Gn85aA6GIr

PROTECTING FOOTBALL, RESTORING NATIONAL PRIDE

Football occupies a special place in our national life. It brings Nigerians together across generations and communities, and our country has never lacked talent, passion or support for the game.

Yet, our results have too often fallen short of what Nigeria should expect.

I have therefore directed a comprehensive reform of Nigerian football following our repeated failures to qualify for major regional, continental and world tournaments.

The problems are structural, and our response must address them.

PRESIDENT TINUBU HAILS AFCFTA RECOGNITION OF NIGERIA’S CUSTOMS MODERNISATION MODEL; COMMENDS BERGMAN

President Bola Tinubu has welcomed the growing continental recognition of Nigeria’s customs modernisation programme, following the selection of a subsidiary of Nigerian-owned Bergmans Security Consultant and Supplies Limited for a 20-year, multi-billion-dollar AfCFTA Customs Modernisation Project.

In a statement by the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, President Tinubu commended Bergmans Security Consultant and Supplies Limited, saying the development validates Nigeria’s capacity to build homegrown solutions for the wider African market.

The project, to be implemented through Bergmans’ subsidiary, AfriTrade CMP Limited, will deploy digital and physical infrastructure to improve customs processes, cargo tracking, border management and trade-data exchange across participating African countries.

President Tinubu said what has been built and tested in Nigeria is now providing a model for the continent, stressing that African integration should involve Africans building solutions for African opportunities.

The President reaffirmed his administration’s commitment, under the Nigeria First policy, to creating opportunities for capable Nigerian businesses to compete at home, across Africa and globally.

He also commended Bergmans, AfriTrade CMP Limited, Trade Modernisation Project Limited, the Nigeria Customs Service, Comptroller-General Bashir Adewale Adeniyi and Nigerian professionals whose work, he said, had earned continental confidence.

AfCFTA Secretary-General Wamkele Mene, who was in Abuja for the agreement, also visited the headquarters of the Nigeria Customs Service to inspect Nigeria’s customs modernisation programme.

Members of the Senate Committee on Customs, led by Senator Jibrin Isah, joined the visit at the conclusion of their two-day retreat on customs modernisation and reforms.

Mene described B’Odogwu, Nigeria’s indigenous Unified Customs Management System, as a model for Africa, noting that although similar services had been offered by non-African companies, AfCFTA chose an African solution, underscoring the importance of African innovation and excellence.

Senator Jibrin Isah said members of his committee had become ambassadors of the system after seeing its operations firsthand.

B’Odogwu, which was first piloted in October 2024, has become central to customs modernisation in Nigeria, alongside cargo tracking, data infrastructure, surveillance, risk management and non-intrusive inspection.

The programme is also being integrated with the National Single Window, launched in March 2026 to provide a single digital gateway for cross-border trade processes.

President Tinubu says the promise of the African Continental Free Trade Area will be realised when goods can move across African borders faster, at lower cost and with fewer barriers.

He reaffirmed Nigeria’s readiness to contribute its experience, innovation and enterprise towards building an efficient and integrated African single market.

The fuel subsidy today would have been N53 trillion if President Tinubu hadn’t removed it, given what is happening in Iran and globally, the exchange rate of 1 naira to a dollar would have been roughly N3,500.

"When we came on board in 2023, the total allocation monthly was around ₦700 billion. Today we are sharing ₦4.5 trillion. This is 530%, and people are talking about voodoo economy, and people are talking about it not reaching the people. I was commissioner of finance 11 years ago; we used to come looking for support to pay salaries, looking for bailouts. How many times have you heard that happen in the last 3 years?

PEPC VERDICT: DEMOCRACY AND THE PEOPLE HAVE WON — BUHARI

Former President Muhammadu Buhari has expressed his happiness with ruling of the Presidential Elections Petition Court confirming the victory of the All Progressives Congress and its candidate, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, and his running mate, Vice President Kashim Shettima, in the February 25 election.

The former President said the PEPC has “written history” by spurning intimidation and all manner of prejudice to deliver justice accordingly to a majority of citizens whose wish is that the choices they made are respected.

“If anybody has won today, it is democracy and the people. With the verdict of the Supreme Court, the election period is over, and it is time to put the heat and dust behind us. From here, the new APC administration led by Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu should get the support of everyone in order to deliver the promises it made to the people.”

The former President also voiced his appreciation to all citizens for maintaining peace throughout this period, and prayed for continued progress and development under the APC government.

He sends warm congratulations to the President, the Vice President and the All Progressives Congress on the victory in court, expressing his best wishes to them in fulfilling the peoples aspirations.
