In Addis Ababa for the Nigeria-Ethiopia Nutrition Leadership Exchange Forum, as part of the Nigerian delegation led by Vice President @officialSKSM.
President Bola Tinubu's administration is tackling malnutrition head-on, through a number of key policies and initiatives such as the implementation of the National Policy on Food and Nutrition, the development of the National Food and Nutrition Bill, the establishment of the Presidential Nutrition Investment Fund, and many others outlined by the Vice President.
Our subnational governments are equally invested in the nutrition agenda. They are pooling resources toward supplies for preventing and treating malnutrition, while nutrition committees now operate in many State Houses of Assembly and local government areas.
Our agency, as a member body of the National Council on Nutrition, is also working synergistically with relevant organizations to mobilise additional domestic resources as we seek to bring down Nigeria's stunting rate to the absolute minimum.
Last two weeks, my father suffered the worst seizures since he started having them post stroke because we couldn’t find the usual brand of seizure medication he was on and got another brand. Turned out it was fake and it was just chalk. Spent millions on resuscitation and ICU monitoring. It was the scariest couple of days we’ve had in a long time. His doctor later confirmed they’ve been having same emergencies even with children’s seizure medications. I’ve cried, I’ve cursed, I’ve said Allah Ya isa so many times I can’t count — but WHEN WILL THIS NONSENSE END?!!!!! What is @NafdacAgency doing about this?!
Happy Birthday to the Rt. Hon. Speaker of the House of Representatives, @Speaker_Abbas.
I wish you continued wisdom, good health and success as you provide leadership in the service of our nation. May Allah continue to guide and strengthen you, and grant you many more years of impactful service to Nigeria.
Happy Birthday, Your Excellency!
A snippet from my engagements at the 81st United Nations General Assembly in New York. A valuable opportunity to engage with global leaders and stakeholders, exchange perspectives and advance conversations around Nigeria’s priorities in biosafety, sustainable development and food security.
Representing Nigeria on the global stage remains both a privilege and a responsibility.

Xi Jinping is the only world leader who was personally received by Donald Trump. It made me understand why Nicolo Machiavelli said "It's better to be feared than to be loved".
I held a productive engagement with key stakeholders and the party leadership of Ikara Local Government Area to consolidate support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu @officialABAT and Governor Uba Sani @ubasanius . Our discussions were constructive and focused on mobilizing the people of Ikara/Kubau Federal Constituency and solidifying our structures ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Just imagine for a moment if the Iranian president stood up at the UN, imagine if Ahmadinejad had come to the UNGA, and said: “Do I annihilate the Jewish state, and do it quickly? Do I drive Israel into hell?”
Imagine the Western and global and media response and outcry.

Turkish President Erdogan:
Personally, as a father and as a grandfather who cherishes his children and grandchildren, I have to say the following from this podium with a heavy heart.
Today, Gaza is not only the world's largest graveyard for children. It is also the place with the highest rate of child amputations in the world.
Gaza has become the most inhumane and shameful concentration camp of our time.
