President Tinubu is building Nigeria without leaving any region behind.

From North to South, East to West, the Tinubu administration is investing in landmark road infrastructure that will connect communities, unlock economic opportunities, and drive national development.

✅ South West & South South: Lagos–Calabar Coastal Highwa.

✅ South East: Enugu–Port Harcourt Expressway.

✅ North East & North Central: Akwanga–Bauchi–Gombe–Biu–Maiduguri Superhighway.

✅ North West: Sokoto–Badagry Superhighway

These are not just roads, they are economic corridors designed to boost trade, create jobs, and strengthen national unity.

Niger State Governor Umar Bago has come under criticism from some Muslim hardliners after making a declaration.

"Any mosque or imam found preaching extremism, terrorism, hatred, violence or division should be reported. The imam will be arrested and the mosque closed."

The governor's directive has sparked widespread debate, with critics arguing that the measure targets Islamic clerics, while supporters say it is aimed at tackling radicalisation and strengthening security across Niger State.

Chargé d’Affaires Keith Heffern and Public Affairs Counselor Lee McManis met with senior Government of Nigeria cultural heritage officials @ncmmhq and relevant law enforcement agencies following the CPAC foreign government session on Nigeria's request to extend the 2022 U.S.-Nigeria Cultural Property Agreement.

This results-driven engagement reflects the United States' commitment to a strong, action-oriented partnership with Nigeria, one that delivers real outcomes: protecting irreplaceable cultural treasures, safeguarding American buyers and institutions from illicit antiquities, and cutting off funding streams that fuel criminal and terrorist networks.

"It wasn't Peter Obi that defeated President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in Lagos. It was how the Muslim Muslim ticket was weaponised. Some people thought President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is a religious bigot. Now everybody knows better.

His wife is a Pastor. Seyi Tinubu is a Christian. Yinka is a Muslim. These blood bothers respect themselves, because of the training they got from their father.

Religion has never been the basis on which Asiwaju manages state affairs." - Senator Musiliu Obanikoro on @seunokin's podcast

A degree may open the door, but skills, resilience and innovation determine how far you go.

I was honoured to join the Noella Foundation’s Life After School Summit 2026, where I engaged with over 500 final-year students preparing to transition from the classroom to the world of work. I commend the Chairman and Co-Founder of the Noella Foundation, Mr Seyi Tinubu and his wife, Mrs. @layaltinubu for creating this important platform to equip young Nigerians with the mentorship, skills and opportunities they need to thrive beyond graduation.

My message was clear: in today’s rapidly changing economy, lifelong learning, adaptability, critical thinking and problem-solving are no longer optional. they are essential. To all graduates, you must challenge yourselves not only to seek jobs, but to create value, build enterprises and contribute meaningfully to our nation’s growth.

Through the Nigeria Education Sector Renewal Initiative (NESRI), and in line with the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, we are transforming education to better connect learning with skills, innovation, entrepreneurship and employment—preparing our young people to thrive in a knowledge-based, trillion-dollar economy.

To every student, don’t just ask, “What job can I get?” Ask instead, “What problem can I solve?” The answer to that question has the power to shape your future and Nigeria’s.

The Federal Government has launched a $500 million Niger Delta Agricultural Investment Fund to mobilise commercial investment into agriculture, diversify the region's economy beyond oil, and advance the administration's food security agenda.

The commercial, returns-driven fund will finance key agricultural value chains, including palm oil, cocoa, cassava, rice, horticulture, marine resources, and livestock. A new coordinating council chaired by the Vice President, with the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) serving as its secretariat, will oversee the initiative.

[Nentawe G. Yilwatda @nentawe1]

I warmly appreciate His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, for graciously approving the request jointly made by myself and His Excellency, Governor Caleb Mutfwang for the construction of the Fourth Legacy Road Project.

This strategic road, stretching from Maraban Jama'a through Pankshin to Langtang and Shendam, and terminating at Ibi, will strengthen connectivity, stimulate economic activities, improve access to markets, and deepen national integration across the North Central and North Eastern States.

This approval is another testament to President Tinubu's commitment to infrastructure development and inclusive growth under the Renewed Hope Agenda. I also commend Governor Caleb Mutfwang for his collaboration and shared commitment to the progress of our people.

Together, we will continue to support initiatives that bring lasting development and prosperity to every part of Nigeria.

The CBN will announce further details of the sandbox.

In the same spirit, the Nigerian Revenue Service will release a tax policy for the virtual assets sector.

The policy operationalises Nigeria's tax laws as they apply to virtual assets, providing greater certainty for taxpayers and service providers, strengthening voluntary compliance, and ensuring that the sector contributes fairly to national revenue as it grows. It complements the coordination framework by aligning revenue administration with the work of the other participating authorities. The NRS will provide further details.

The Federal Government is also finalising a comprehensive Virtual Assets White Paper, which will set out the country's longer-term policy direction and implementation priorities and serve as a roadmap for stakeholders across the sector.

The Council has been directed to develop a Harmonised Implementation Framework within 30 days to guide the participating agencies in giving effect to the Order and to ensure its expedited implementation.2/2
