The newly established mega school in Borno, located at the Sanda Kyarimi primary school in Custom flyover site, is an example of @GovBorno@ProfZulum vision for quality education.
President @officialABAT has praised the former Head of State for continuing “to serve as a respected elder statesman, promoting peace, national unity, democratic stability, and responsible political engagement” through the National Peace Committee.
He also directed the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), @GovWike, to allocate a befitting parcel of land within the nation’s capital to build an office for the Abdulsalami Abubakar African Resource Centre (AAARC).
The President stated this on Saturday in Abuja during the public presentation of three books, ‘A Call of Duty: My Autobiography’, ‘Nigeria’s Grand Patriot’, and ‘Mediating for Peace in Africa’, in honour of General Abdulsalami Abubakar (rtd).
Eulogising the former Nigerian leader at the book launch, which coincided with his 84th birthday anniversary, President @officialABAT, who was represented by his deputy, Vice President @KashimSM, described the presence of dignitaries from both home and abroad at the event as a fitting tribute to General Abubakar’s life.
He justified why the AAARC deserves a befitting office in Abuja, saying, “The establishment of the Abdulsalami Abubakar African Resource Centre is a worthy initiative that aligns with the values General Abubakar has championed throughout his life.
“In recognition of its importance, I hereby direct the Honourable Minister of the Federal Capital Territory to allocate a suitable parcel of land within the Federal Capital Territory for the development of the Centre and the advancement of its mission,” he directed.
The Vice President, Senator @KashimSM has applauded the partnership between the Kukah Centre (@KukahCentre), and the ProFuturo Foundation (@ProFuturo_) in support of quality digital education, especially in vulnerable communities across the country.
He said the foundation’s initiative for digital education aligns with the nation’s quest for skills education through the National Council on Skills and the Renewed Hope Agenda of the administration of President @officialABAT.
Senator @KashimSM stated this on Wednesday when he received on a courtesy visit to the Presidential Villa a delegation from the Kukah Centre and the ProFuturo Foundation led by Bishop Matthew Kukah.
The Vice President, who had earlier been briefed on the successes recorded in the digital education initiative of the ProFuturo Foundation in Nigeria, expressed fulfilment with the feat attained in school enrolment as well as the quality of training and teaching since the commencement of the partnership in 2017.
President @officialABAT on Tuesday commissioned major economic and infrastructural projects in Ado-Ekiti, the Ekiti State capital, as part of his one-day working visit to the state.
The completed projects inaugurated by the President include the new Zonal Directorate Office Complex of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (@officialEFCC) along Old Iyin Road in Ado-Ekiti, as well as the 1.2-kilometre flyover named after him at Okeyinmi, which serves as a major infrastructure milestone to ease traffic in the state capital.
The Nigerian leader, who was represented by his deputy, Vice President @KashimSM, on the working visit to the state, also performed the groundbreaking for the Ekiti Knowledge Zone (EKZ), aimed at driving long-term technology, innovation, and economic development in the state.
Speaking during the commissioning of the EFCC Zonal Directorate Office Complex, President @officialABAT stated vehemently that corruption will have no refuge under his administration, just as he reaffirmed the Federal Government’s commitment to strengthening anti-corruption institutions and ensuring accountability across the public and private sectors.

Mopelola Adeola-Ibrahim; Minister I, Embassy of Nigeria in Cotonou, Amb. Bukar Kalambe; and Head of Chancery, Embassy of Nigeria in Cotonou, Emmanuel Nwosa.

Nigeria is ready for business, and under the leadership of President @officialABAT, the country is committed to deepening ties with the Republic of Poland in different sectors of the economy, the Vice President, Senator @KashimSM, has said.
This, he said, can be done in the areas of defence cooperation, digital economy, agriculture, and other sectors where Poland has shown remarkable comparative advantage, noting that “there is room for improved relations between our countries.”
Senator @KashimSM stated this on Thursday during a courtesy visit by the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Digital Affairs of the Republic of Poland, Dr. @KGawkowski, to the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
The Vice President told the Polish envoy that Nigeria is open for business, noting that “since assumption of office over two years ago, President @officialABAT has unlocked the full potential of the Nigerian economy.
“We have liberalised the foreign exchange market; we have removed subsidy on petroleum products; we have harmonised our tax laws such that companies coming into Nigeria will not be overtaxed, and there is room for improvement in our relationship in critical areas,” he added.
The Vice President, Senator @KashimSM, has charged the Code of Conduct Bureau (@CCBNigeria) to remain apolitical and maintain strict independence in order to function with integrity, transparency, and accountability.
He also urged the Bureau to sustain its digitisation process to create a system that allows public officers to declare assets and liabilities electronically from any location, eliminating the delays and inefficiencies of paper forms, as well as matching what obtains in foreign jurisdictions.
Senator @KashimSM gave the charge on Friday when he received a delegation from the CCB, led by its Chairman, Dr. Abdullahi Usman Bello, at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
The Vice President congratulated Bello and his team on their assumption of office, just as he cautioned them against being mired in any controversy.
“Remain steadfast. Be as apolitical as humanly possible and do your job as much as you can,” he charged the delegation, even as he acknowledged the CCB’s current efforts, especially in the digitisation process, observing that the world is changing and the Bureau has to move with the tide.
Vice President @KashimSM has assured the Institute of Chartered Secretaries and Administrators of Nigeria (ICSAN) that the Federal Government will reach out to major stakeholders to fast-track the passage of its amendment bill aimed at scaling the impact of the institute.
The bill currently before the National Assembly aims to change the institute’s name to better reflect modern governance practices and expand its mandate beyond traditional secretarial duties.
The Vice President stated this on Friday when a delegation from ICSAN, led by its 30th President and Chairman of the Governing Council, Mrs. Uto Ukpanah, paid him a courtesy visit in his office at the Presidential Villa.
He congratulated the institute on its 60th anniversary, describing the upcoming event as a celebration of 60 years of professionalism and integrity.
“You have earned it, and the nation is better for the work you have done. You are truly a consequential organization, and even the calibre of people who were part of your history did their best for the nation,” he said.
President @officialABAT’s comprehensive economic restructuring is rebuilding the pillars of Nigeria’s economy every state of the federation can depend on, the Vice President, Senator @KashimSM, has said.
He identified the outcome of the restructuring, aimed at reducing subnational dependence on the federal government, largely through fiscal reforms and increased allocations to states, as energy reliability, fiscal balance, tax reform, and a single digital gateway for investment, among others.
Senator @KashimSM, who made the observation on Wednesday in Lafia during the Nasarawa Investment Summit 2026, noted that the ongoing transformation of subnational economies into stronger and more viable entities justifies the choice of states as the focal point of the reform agenda of the @officialABAT administration.
“At the national level, we are rebuilding the pillars every state depends on: energy reliability, fiscal balance, tax reform, and a single digital gateway for investment. The ongoing power-sector reforms are opening new paths for state participation.
