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.

My Mum used to sell food on the roadside by the C&S primary school in Ikorodu many years ago, she did everything to make sure we could get an education.

I will send you one million naira from the sale of the chessboards to support your mum’s business. I wish you all the best.

Amid the flood of felicitations following my convocation as Overall Best Graduating Student of LAUTECH, I find it necessary to address the stir around my NELFUND appreciation post. I accept the praise, life changing offers and the backlash, in good faith. Still, it is only fair to set the record straight.

I hail from a village in Osun State, raised in a modest family of five. I attended public primary and secondary schools, not by choice, but because even the most inexpensive private schools were beyond our means.

Even then, survival itself; food and clothing was a daily struggle. I walked miles to school each morning, while my parents laboured as jacks-of-all-trades to make ends meet.

For nine defining years before I entered university, we lived within sight of basic amenities yet beyond our reach, no electricity, no television; just lanterns and candles. Against these odds, I earned a scholarship and now this distinction.

In my third year, a coursemate’s father, someone I had once tutored academically, gifted me my first smartphone which I am still using till now. On several occasions, lecturers, moved by quiet compassion, provided me with clothing. There are many other instances, too numerous to recount.

So, I say this plainly, not all of us are born with a silver spoon. Some of us climbed the ladder by holding on to every rung of legitimate support we could find.

As an engineering student aspiring to make academic history, should I resort myself to blaming my family’s financial situation for my inability to afford fees and essentials like a reliable smartphone or laptop needed for skills and certifications?

For me personally, NELFUND was not incidental; it was instrumental and to acknowledge what helped one’s journey is neither propaganda nor misplaced allegiance. It is simply an act of appreciation.

Thank you @NELFUND and everyone that contributed to this success!

Greatness awaits all of Us.

Quite ironic that I’ve been getting emails from global fashion brands and media networks to come talk about my the work that we do @chessinslums and @GiftOfChess .

Follow our important work. It’s all that matters away from the noise. We are doing great things from a small place.

If an attention seeking racist man says a culture is retarded because one adorns his regal Agbádá outfit to a historic location to play chess,we must all stand firmly against it regardless of our biases

We have received a new set of 24-car trains to strengthen the Lagos Red Line fleet.

This will improve capacity, reduce wait times and make daily commuting easier for Lagosians.

We remain focused on building a transport system that is efficient and reliable for everyone. That is still our goal.
