@STinubu@CityBoyMedia Today, I also make my political position clear: I proudly support President Bola Ahmed Tinubu @officialABAT at the national level and Senator Solomon Olamilekan Adeola (YAYI) @Sen_AdeolaYAYI for Ogun State.
Dear @natpopcom,
How long does it take to process a birth certificate reissuance? I submitted my application and made payment on October 22, yet my dashboard still shows PENDING, with no update or indication of the expected completion date.
I thought the move to digital services was intended to make the process faster, easier and more transparent.
Please, what is the expected turnaround time for a service applicants have already paid for?

WHEN FUEL PRICES FALL, DON'T LET YOUR APPROVAL PROCESS KEEP THE OLD PRICE
Diesel prices are currently moving downward, but the savings will not automatically appear in your transport budget.
For transport companies that give drivers approval to collect diesel from different filling stations, timing matters.
If a truck is approved today at ₦X/litre but does not move or collect fuel until later, and the station has reduced its price by then, the reconciliation team should ask:
What was the actual pump price at collection?
When did the price change?
Don't approve fuel too early when the truck is not ready to move.
Don't reconcile blindly with the approved rate.
Confirm the prevailing price.
Where pump prices are integrated with a real-time fuel management system, this risk is much easier to control. But where reconciliation is manual, officers need to pay closer attention.
For Fleet & Transport Managers, this is a simple budget-management principle:
When the market price is falling, your approval and reconciliation process must move with the market.
Cost savings are not only created by negotiating lower prices.
Sometimes, savings are protected by making the right decision at the right time.

Yesterday at Alake Stadium, Abeokuta, I showed up for our party and our candidates at the Interfaith Prayer Session for PBAT, YAYI and other APC candidates in Ogun State.
Despite my tight schedule, I made it a duty to be present. Party duty is supreme.
For me, politics is not only about making posts online. It is also about showing up, participating, engaging with people and being present when it matters.
Starting the campaign with prayers is a meaningful way to seek God’s guidance and wisdom for the journey ahead.
Nigeria is having a remarkable cultural moment in the world. Our music fills stadiums across continents. Our films and stories are reaching new audiences. Nigerian creativity, fashion and culture are commanding global attention.
We must turn this moment into lasting economic value for our people.
Today in Paris, I met with Vincent Bolloré of Bolloré Group, and his executives for extensive discussions on expanding their investments in Nigeria across film, entertainment, fibre optics and the digital economy.
Through Canal+, MultiChoice, Universal Music and other businesses, they are looking to do more in Nigeria. They see our country as the arrowhead of Africa’s cultural awakening, powered by Nollywood, Afrobeats and the growing global appetite for Nigerian culture.
I want more of the value created by Nigerian talent to remain in Nigeria. More production at home. Greater investment in our local industries and infrastructure. More opportunities and jobs for our young people. I have made this case consistently, including on greater localisation by MultiChoice.
Our reforms are creating the conditions for investment and growth. My responsibility is to ensure that these investments translate into real opportunities for Nigerians.
This is the purpose of the Renewed Hope Agenda.
Bola Ahmed Tinubu
President
Sometimes, I ask myself:
If every state governor Nigeria has had since 1999 had approached development with the same level of long-term strategic planning, would we still be discussing basic development today?
I watched Sowore's proposal on using our waterways to connect communities, link up with ports and develop mass transit.
Interestingly, even he acknowledged that Lagos had already implemented elements of this approach.
This is the point many people miss about Tinubu's Lagos story.
The idea was never simply to build one road or one bridge.
It was to create a development blueprint — transportation, water, roads, planning, revenue, infrastructure and economic growth — and then allow successive administrations to continue building on it.
LAMATA was established in 2003 to drive an integrated transport system involving road, rail and water. Today, Lagos has continued expanding that model, with BRT, rail and ferry services operating as parts of an integrated transport network.
President Tinubu himself has acknowledged that the Red Line is the realisation of a transportation vision conceived during his time as Lagos governor, while crediting successive governments for continuing the work.
That is what strategic leadership should look like.
A governor should not start from zero every four years.
A governor should inherit a plan, improve it, fund it, execute it and leave an even better plan for the next administration.
This is why we should hold every Nigerian leader accountable — past and present.
What was your plan for Nigeria?
What did you inherit?
What did you execute?
What did you leave behind?
Interviews are not development.
Promises are not development.
Nigeria needs leaders who think beyond the next election cycle.
We should judge leadership by what it builds that the next generation can inherit.

Government must improve road planning, and we must improve our road discipline.
One bad decision on the road can hold thousands of people back.

Traffic Is Bad Enough—Let's Not Make It Worse
This picture says a lot about what happens when traffic gets difficult.
The Lagos–Ibadan Expressway, particularly around Kara, has been experiencing recurring congestion due to ongoing road works.
Yes, we can ask questions about the planning of the road maintenance and why alternative routes have not been developed to better manage traffic on such a busy corridor.
But we also have a responsibility as road users.
When our side of the road is blocked or heavily congested, entering the opposite lane because “everyone is doing it” does not solve the problem.
It only creates two traffic jams instead of one.
Eventually, nobody moves.
People miss appointments.
Businesses lose productive hours.
Goods arrive late.
Fuel is wasted.
Emergency situations can become even more difficult.
Government has a responsibility to provide better infrastructure and traffic management.
We, the road users, also have a responsibility to obey the rules—even when the traffic is frustrating.
Sometimes, the little advantage we think we are gaining by breaking the rule is exactly what creates the bigger problem for everyone.
Let's make the road easier for one another.

For years, one sentence has become the easiest explanation for almost everything that happens in Nigeria:
“Dollar don rise again.”
Transport go increase — dollar don rise.
Electronics go increase — dollar don rise.
Foodstuff go increase — dollar don rise.
Even some things we produce locally — dollar don rise.
But have we ever stopped to ask what was wrong with the system that allowed the dollar to affect almost every corner of our economy?
Under @officialABAT , the FX system was fundamentally reformed.
The #CBN moved away from the old multiple-window structure and unified the market under a more market-driven system. The reform was designed to improve price discovery, reduce arbitrage and make FX transactions more transparent. The #CBN has also introduced electronic systems to improve visibility and reduce market distortions.
Now look at the bigger picture.
The traders at #ASPANDA are protesting the direct retail activities of some Chinese businesses, arguing that manufacturers are coming into their market and selling directly to consumers.
That tells us something important:
Nigeria's economic problem is bigger than “dollar don rise.”
We need to build an #economy where Nigerian businesses can compete, manufacture, distribute and grow.
#FXreform is one piece of that puzzle.
The reform may not have solved every problem. The #naira still faces pressures and businesses still feel the pain.
But at least we are moving away from a system where multiple exchange rates and opaque access created opportunities for arbitrage.
Reform doesn't mean every problem disappears overnight.
It means you start fixing the structure that produces the problem.
That is why I will continue to support @officialABAT economic reforms.
We should measure the direction of the economy, not only the noise of the moment.

One argument I keep hearing is:
“Has electricity increased in your area?”
That is a fair question. Nigerians deserve better electricity supply.
But if we want to honestly measure President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s power-sector reforms, we must look beyond whether your particular street currently has more hours of light.
The Electricity Act 2023 fundamentally changed the structure of the sector by opening the door for states and private investors to participate more directly in electricity generation and distribution.
That means the Federal Government is no longer expected to be the only answer to every power problem.
We are already seeing private-sector investment and states taking greater responsibility for power. The next question should be:
What is your state government doing with the opportunity created by this reform?
The Federal Government can create the regulatory framework, remove barriers and attract investment.
Governors must also be prepared to take advantage of the new structure.
And Nigerians must learn to measure reforms by outcomes over time, not only by what happens to their transformer this week.
We should criticise where performance is poor.
But when a government changes the structure of a broken sector and creates room for new investment and competition, we should also acknowledge the reform.
Progress should be measured honestly.
That is the journey.
The work is not finished. But pretending nothing has changed because your area is still experiencing outages is not an honest assessment of the reform.
Let's measure progress, not just complain about problems.

The political evangelism has started.
My focus now is simple: 126 Polling Units. 10 contacts per PU. 1,260 genuine grassroots contacts.
I am mobilising across Ofada Ward for @officialABAT and @Sen_AdeolaYAYI, taking the message of continuity, development and purposeful leadership directly to our communities.
This is not about sitting online and shouting politics. It is about going to the people, listening to them, engaging them and building relationships PU by PU.
If you are in Ofada Ward, or you have a genuine connection with people within any of these 126 Polling Units, I want to hear from you.
If you can connect me with 10 people in any PU, let's work together.
126 PUs → 10 contacts per PU → 1,260 contacts → grassroots mobilisation.
The work has begun. Ofada Ward, we move!

Nigeria meeting its OPEC crude oil production quota for the fourth consecutive month is not something to dismiss.
For years, Nigeria struggled to consistently meet its production targets because of operational disruptions, theft, underinvestment and other structural challenges.
Now, production stability is improving.
This is what reforms are supposed to do: fix the system, restore confidence and gradually increase productivity.
PBAT deserves credit where credit is due.
You cannot demand reforms and then refuse to acknowledge the results when the numbers begin to move in the right direction.
Facts over propaganda. Results over noise, Continuity is key to stable economy
