Two major telecommunication companies entered Nigeria within just two days: STN and Lebara.
Bro, Tinubu has eventually turned Nigeria into a fertile ground for investments.
I’m so glad this is happening.
This country will be great.
Thank you for the reforms, President Tinubu.
Honoured to once again visit His Excellency, the President (@officialABAT), with Khalifa, and to extend our warm wishes on the occasion of Nigeria’s Independence Day.
It is always a pleasure to share such moments as we reflect on our nation’s journey and look forward with hope to the future.
Wishing all Nigerians, at home and abroad, a very Happy Independence Day. May our beloved country continue to enjoy peace, unity, progress and prosperity. 🇳🇬
HAPPENING NOW:
Vice President Kashim Shettima has arrived in Lagos for the commissioning of the new corporate Head Office of Northwest Petroleum & Gas Company Limited.
VP Shettima, who is Special Guest of Honour at the event, will deliver the keynote address and commission the facility, alongside the Governor of Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, and other government and private sector leaders.
The investment aligns with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope drive to mobilise private capital, strengthen indigenous enterprise and make the private sector a major engine of Nigeria’s economic growth.
The President Tinubu administration has continued to emphasise private sector-led growth and investment mobilisation as central pillars of the Renewed Hope National Development Plan 2026–2030, with a focus on creating jobs, expanding productive capacity and building a more competitive economy.
Today, we open the National Youth Confab 2026 @Youthconfab2026. The message to every young Nigerian is this: Our dear country believes in you and in what you can do for its future.
When I proposed this Confab, I wanted young Nigerians to have more than a seat in the room. Your experience and ambition should help shape the decisions that affect your lives.
Say what you think. Where you disagree with us, say so, and bring the alternative with you. Our job as a government is to listen and act on what deserves action.
The virtual consultations run for the next two weeks and are open to you wherever you are, at home or in the diaspora.
I look forward to receiving your recommendations and giving them the serious consideration they deserve.
God bless every Nigerian Youth
God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria
Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR
President

2026 INDEPENDENCE DAY ADDRESS: FROM REFORMS TO PROSPERITY
My fellow Nigerians,
Sixty-six years ago today, our flag was raised, for the first time, over a free and sovereign nation. Since then, we have journeyed together as one nation, bound by our collective trust in the great promise of Nigeria: that a country of our size, our bountiful resources, our cultural diversity and, above all, our extraordinary people can build a giant in Africa; that in this blessed and fertile land we can build a united, strong and prosperous nation; a land of regional authority and global consequence.
Our journey has not always been easy. In truth, it has generally been too hard for too many. We have known moments of great hope and periods of profound disappointment. We have endured war, military rule, economic crises, insecurity and political upheaval. Yet through it all, Nigeria, with the indomitable spirit of its people, has endured.
It has endured through the efforts of the farmer who rises before dawn to work his land. The trader who opens her shop each morning, hopeful for a productive day. The teacher who believes in the children entrusted to her care and the young entrepreneur who refuses to surrender ambition to circumstance. We are grateful for the men and women of our Armed Forces and security services who place themselves in harm's way so that the rest of us may live in peace.
Through every difficulty, generations of Nigerians have continued to believe in one thing: that this country of ours will be better.
This faith, which sustains us all, is the inheritance of independence. Our founding fathers did not struggle merely for a flag, an anthem or a place among the nations of the world. Independence carried a larger promise: that Nigerians would have the freedom to shape their own destiny and build a nation capable of providing opportunity, dignity and a better life for its people. Sixty-six years later, Almighty God has made it our responsibility to deliver that promise.
Today, as we celebrate our independence, we must speak honestly about the journey so far, the choices we made, and the country we are determined to build from here.
For too long, the promise of Nigeria was undermined by choices that postponed difficult decisions and allowed deep economic distortions to grow.
By 2023, poverty was rising, and hope was nearly gone. The country's situation was darker than ever. We had no choice but to act.
Nigeria was like a sick patient who receives the terrible news that he has cancer. His doctor explains that the treatment will be difficult and painful, but that it offers a strong prospect of recovery. The patient has a choice. He can begin treatment, endure its discomfort and fight the disease. Or he can ask only for morphine, dull the pain and leave the cancer to spread.
For too long, Nigeria's leaders chose morphine while praying for a miracle that never came.
They focused on symptoms while allowing the disease to take hold deep within the fabric of our society. We spent enormous sums sustaining inefficient arrangements that were never intended to last. We hid from difficult truths and passed the consequences from one generation to the next.
When this Administration assumed office, we resolved to do things differently. We chose to excise the cancer. The reforms that followed were difficult. The side effects were real. Yet, we must never confuse the medicine with the disease.
Our reforms did not create the weaknesses in our economy. They confronted them. Now, as certain influential but regressive voices would have us abandon the treatment and return ourselves to the abuse of addictive subsidies, we must resist their siren song. We must remember why we began this journey and how far we have already come.
🇳🇬 66 years of nationhood, resilience and hope.
Today, we celebrate Nigeria and the millions of people whose determination keeps this country moving forward. May we continue turning challenges into opportunities and using better decisions, better data and collective effort to build the Nigeria we all want.
Happy Independence Day, Nigeria! 🇳🇬
Osey Omo mi @STinubu! The type of don they are all praying to have. Oh lord give me a child boy or girl like him make my twin boys this interested in what I am doing and please Lord let time be more impactful! I plead a greater portion of grace. @officialABAT I am happy for you.
2027: If President Tinubu Loses FCT, Rivers, I Will Resign As Minister - Wike👇🔥
The FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, stated this while meeting members of the Apo Traders Association in Abuja, saying while Rivers State is his home, Abuja is where he works and he cannot afford to lose in both places.
