The Bank of Industry (BOI) has unveiled an €85 million long-term financing facility aimed at expanding local cocoa processing, reducing Nigeria’s dependence on raw bean exports and strengthening value addition across the cocoa value chain. https://t.co/gv4J4xxwc8
@Oyo_Matters Commendable! But the two dead teachers and others should not be forgotten. The “ruling class” at the subnational level should complement Federal Government to foster holistic development efforts at the rural areas. Such effort would mitigate a repeat occurrence.
CHAMPIONS OF IMPACT!
Nigeria has been crowned the *ICC Rexona Criiio Cricket Festival of the Year* winner, a testament to our unwavering commitment to growing cricket from the grassroots and making the game accessible to every child.
This recognition celebrates the passion of our young participants, the dedication of our coaches, teachers, volunteers, state associations, partners, and every stakeholder who continues to believe in the power of cricket to inspire communities and change lives.
At the Nigeria Cricket Federation, we remain committed to creating more opportunities, reaching more schools, and introducing thousands of young Nigerians to the game each year.
This award belongs to every child who picked up a bat, bowled a ball, and discovered the joy of cricket through Criiio.
Together, we're not just growing cricket, we're building the future of the game.
Nigeria. Inspiring the next generation

@chibuzo_mikel@woye1@JohnFanimokun I think the DSS Chief, Mr Tosin Ajayi, should make the list of the top three security appointments in this administration. The new IG seems to have started on a tight footing but it is too early to make an objective call given that his appointment is recent.
Khadija Abubakar from Bauchi State is fluent in both Hausa and Igbo. She says if asked to choose between Bauchi and Enugu, she will choose Enugu.
She even has an Igbo name. Onyinyechukwu (God's gift) given to her my her mum.
Demarketing a part of Nigeria is demarketing the whole of Nigeria. Let that sink in.
Yesterday, July 10, 2026, marked 27 years since George Iwilade, popularly known as Afrika, a vibrant, brilliant, and courageous student leader and Secretary-General of the Students' Union Government of Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, was murdered by cult gangs sponsored by the university authorities.
Since his brutal killing on July 10, 1999, Afrika has grown from a fallen comrade into a timeless legend of the Nigerian student movement. His courage, conviction, and sacrifice continue to inspire generations of young people committed to justice and liberation.
For context, this photograph was taken during one of our solidarity actions in Yaba, Lagos, protesting the persecution of OAU students. Standing together were Afrika, then OAU SUG President Lanre Adeleke aka "Legacy", and my humble self as we unfurled a giant banner inside a massive police cordon in defiance of intimidation.
Afrika and I shared many struggles before I left Nigeria in February 1999. His life was cut short, but his ideals could not be buried. Twenty-seven years later, we still remember him not merely for how he died, but for how he lived: fearless, principled, and unwavering in pursuing justice.

Mr. President, do something different. Don't join the bandwagon.
Not every polytechnic needs to become a university. 🙏
Strengthen them, modernize them, and make them world-class centres for technical skills, innovation, and industry.
Nigeria needs more skilled hands, not just more degree certificates.
