@GeorgeAnagli Judging Nigeria by a random post on social media says more about you than Nigeria. Pharmaceutical business in Nigeria is more regulated than in Ghana.
Our rescue efforts will be intelligence-led, careful, coordinated, and sustained. We will deploy every lawful tool available, both kinetic and non-kinetic, to ensure our children and teachers are safely returned home.
I also extend my deepest condolences to Mrs Mary Oyedokun, the wife of the late school teacher and her family. Their sacrifice will not be forgotten, and his family will not be abandoned.
BOLA AHMED TINUBU
PRESIDENT OF THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA
@Sistaliano If the kidnap of Chibok girls and Abuja bomb blasts didnโt stop you from supporting Jonathanโs reelection, we would pressure Tinubu to do better and still re-elect him in 2027
You people claim to love democracy but you actually donโt. These women know what and where their interest lies, but you want to impose your will on them.
@klintoncod Any Nigerian supporting any of the foremost Nigerian politicians lacks the locus standi to criticize another Nigerian supporting another Nigerian politician.
In the oil and gas sector, the reforms we instituted have attracted billions of dollars in fresh investment from the international oil companies that had shunned our country. The $5 billion NLNG Train 7 project is nearing completion to boost LNG production capacity, exports, and dividends.
Domestic gas utilisation is expanding. Local refining capacity has improved our energy security. With large-scale domestic and modular refineries operational, Nigeria is reducing its dependence on imported petroleum products and conserving foreign exchange.
For years, the power sector suffered from debt, underinvestment, and uncertainty, which weakened generation capacity and limited growth. Today, we are confronting those challenges directly.
Our administration is clearing legacy obligations, expanding transmission infrastructure, investing in renewable energy, and strengthening the national grid because no modern economy can grow in darkness. When power improves, businesses expand, industries grow, jobs are created, and families prosper.
We are determined to power Nigeria into a new era of industrial growth and economic opportunity.
EMPOWERING NIGERIANS: AGRICULTURE, EDUCATION, AND HOUSING
Agricultural interventions have supported millions of farmers by improving seedlings, fertilisers, mechanisation, and irrigation and by expanding access to finance and markets. We are opening new agricultural corridors to create jobs, strengthen supply chains, and reduce pressure on household incomes.
The Nigerian Education Loan Fund has provided over 1.5 million students with access to higher education, disbursing more than โฆ282 billion to ensure that no willing student is denied access due to financial hardship.
Our Renewed Hope Housing Programme, along with that of the Federal Housing Authority (FHA), is delivering over 10,000 housing units across 14 states and the FCT, creating over 300,000 jobs and expanding access to affordable housing. Major Renewed Hope Cities in Abuja, Lagos, and Kano are progressing steadily. Our consumer credit initiative, CREDICORP, is opening up new economic opportunities for workers and families.
In healthcare, thousands of primary healthcare centres are being revitalised, while health insurance coverage is expanding for vulnerable Nigerians.
DEEPENING TELECOMS ACCESS AND INVESTMENT
We also took decisive action to stabilise the telecommunications sector, which remains one of the most important drivers of modern economic growth.
After years of severe operational pressures and declining investment, confidence is gradually returning to the sector. Telecom operators are expanding networks, investing in infrastructure, recruiting Nigerian talent, and widening digital access across the country.
A connected Nigeria is a more competitive Nigeria. Digital infrastructure is now essential to commerce, education, innovation, and national productivity.
YOUTH, TECHNOLOGY AND DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION
To our young people, I want you to know this nation believes in you. You are not a problem to be managed. You are the engine of Nigeriaโs future. Across technology, manufacturing, creative industries, agriculture, sports, and entrepreneurship, we are expanding opportunities for you to compete and succeed. We are investing in digital skills, technical education, innovation, student financing, and enterprise support because the future must be driven by Nigerian talent, creativity, and productivity.
SECURITY AND NATIONAL UNITY
Security remains central to our national mission and to the creation of a virile and prosperous society. Our Armed Forces and security agencies have intensified operations against terrorists, bandits, kidnappers, oil thieves, and criminal networks. While challenges remain, many communities and highways are becoming safer and more economically active. We continue investing in intelligence, surveillance, logistics, technology, and inter-agency coordination.
Today, American Members of Congress Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal and Jim Himes @jahimes are in Kyiv. It is an important visit during these difficult days after a massive attack. We are grateful to the United States, to the President, Congress for their strong bipartisan support, and to all Americans.
We discussed further support for Ukraine, particularly in strengthening air defenses. We have a significant need for antiballistic missiles due to the constant Russian attacks. I sent a letter to the White House and the U.S. Congress outlining Ukraineโs needs for such missiles. And today, I also personally handed this letter to the congressmen. We are counting on timely support.
I briefed the congressmen on the frontline situation and on our successful long-range sanctions. Our partners clearly see that Russia is suffering enormous losses. It is important to prevent any weakening of sanctions against the Russian Federation โ we discussed this as well. We are also working with the American side on concluding a Drone Deal.
Particular attention was given to the negotiation process. There must be no pause in diplomacy, and talks must be reinvigorated. The whole world needs peace.
