Prayers, good intentions, and hope alone do not deliver results.
Every action must be scrutinized under one critical question:
How have these efforts translated into lifting Nigeria out of poverty? - Murtala Adogi
How often does your Governor visit a hospital unannounced—especially at midnight—to witness the real state of things?
How often does your Governor walk into a public school—not for a photoshoot, but to listen, observe, and assess the reality on the ground?
So, Nigeria can go over two years without Ambassadors?
All this while, ignoring the critical delivery of foreign policy in an era of global uncertainty.

Some of you with friends SAs and SSAs to the President and Governors please minimize your expectations from them, they have zero budget and some of them are even struggling to fuel their cars. Save your energy and focus on your hustling - Murtala Adogi

As we grapple with the repercussions of the floating of Naira and navigate the challenges of fuel subsidy removal, we were confronted yesterday with another hurdle: an increase in electricity tariffs. Band A users now face a price hike from 66 Naira to 225 Naira per unit.

Monday Governance Tips
The issues with Nigerian policymakers don't primarily stem from implementation but rather from policy design, analysis, and the ability to find contextually suitable options. Perhaps they are mostly blind to the context at hand. - MAM
Monday Governance Tips
For the President, Governor, or Minister, that wants to succeed there's one essential requirement: a Strategy, Execution, and Evaluation Team (SEET) to devise, execute, and assess implementation strategies, guiding decision-making and action. - MAM

Today, I attended the official inauguration of the Compact Development Workshop for the System Transformation Grant (STG), an initiative under the Global Partnership for Education (GPE). This significant grant, amounting to $117 million, is allocated to Nigeria by the GPE. Following a rigorous shortlisting process, six states, including Kebbi, Abia, Kwara, Akwa Ibom, Lagos, and, notably, Bauchi, which I represent as Governor, have been chosen to benefit from this grant.
The workshop, scheduled from January 15th to 17th, 2023, will outline the implementation strategies of the grant and disseminate other crucial information to the selected states. As the Governor of Bauchi, I am honoured to be part of this pivotal event, set to impact our education system significantly. #GreaterBauchi
Imagine a Fish Without Water, Then a Politician Without a Job.
Please & please before you join politics have a ‘shop’ or ‘kiosk’ or a work or business that you can fall back on immediately and bounce back ⬅️ What POLITICIANS are going through without a Job is something else 🙉
I just heard the full gist between Halima Shehu and Betta Edu. There is more to what eyes can see and ears can hear.
We await the EFCC report.
But we need to do better with our system. The system is too porous and flawed for accountability and transparency. We need to start having discussion on how best we can improve our system for better delivery of governance.
What PBAT did today will restore confidence in the minds of Nigerians and prove that the government is serious about it's fight against corruption.
As a Country, we are not yet ready to address our Education and Health challenges. How can we allocate more resources to regional interventions than national social development sectors like Health and Education
