PRESIDENT TINUBU MOURNS SECRETARY-GENERAL OF SUPREME COUNCIL FOR SHARI'AH IN NIGERIA, MALAM NAFIU BABA-AHMED

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has expressed sadness over the passing of the Secretary-General of the Supreme Council for Shari'ah in Nigeria (SCSN), Malam Nafiu Baba-Ahmed.

Malam Baba-Ahmed, a respected administrator and religious leader, died in the early hours of Tuesday after a meritorious career of service to Islam and to the nation.

President Tinubu described the late Baba-Ahmed as an impactful leader who steered the affairs of the Supreme Council for Shari'ah in Nigeria with wisdom, foresight, and a deep commitment to unity, justice, and peaceful coexistence.

The President recalled his long-term association with the late Baba-Ahmed, especially in the build-up to the 2011 election and in subsequent years, particularly the deceased's counsel and support during his 2023 presidential campaign.

The President notes Mallam Baba-Ahmed's pivotal role in sustaining the Council's voice on national issues, fostering greater understanding, and promoting the values of moral renewal and social justice.

President Tinubu condoles with the President of the Supreme Council for Shari'ah in Nigeria, its members, the Baba-Ahmed family, the Government and people of Kaduna State, and the Nigerian Muslim Ummah over this huge loss.

The President prays that Almighty Allah forgives his shortcomings, admits him to Jannatul Firdaus, and grants his family and the Muslim Ummah the fortitude to bear this loss.

In my several decades of very close relationship with Dele Alake @AlakeDele, I have known him as a steady hand, a forthright, upright, loyal, and committed ally.

He is straight and unequivocal. You always know where he stands on issues.

On the occasion of his 70th birthday today, October 6, I rejoice with him, his immediate family, friends, and associates. I celebrate with him for the grace of joining the Club of Septuagenarians. 

In his professional and public service life, Dele has built a reputation for hard work, excellence, and an unquenchable thirst for delivering results.
At the heart of all his human endeavours is the quest for equity and social justice.

In journalism, where he devoted most of his professional working life, he excelled beyond measure as a frontline journalist and editor. He courageously used his pen to confront the ills and malaise that plagued our country.

During Nigeria's darkest hours under military rule, he was a journalist of conscience who fought on the front lines against dictatorship and abuse of human rights, and for the restoration of democratic governance.

In public service, his creative and enterprising spirit served him well as my Commissioner for Information and Strategy in Lagos State for 8 years. He redefined government information management and became a clear example of political strategy and public communication.

In unfamiliar and uncharted territories, Dele has an inexhaustible capacity to function and deliver results effectively. It is no wonder that his work as Nigeria's Minister of Solid Minerals continues to draw local and global admiration, earning the trust of his colleagues across the continent as the Chairman of the Africa Minerals Strategy Group (AMSG).

On his 70th birthday celebration, my prayer for Dele is that the Almighty grant him more years in good health as he continues his service to God, country, and humanity in general.

Happy birthday and many happy returns to my confidante, brother, and buddy.

Over the past few days, servicemen and women of the Armed Forces have shared what the recent pay increase means for them and their families. I am glad it is making a difference.

This week, the Nigerian Army @HQNigerianArmy operationalised new formations in Zamfara, Kebbi, Oyo and Osun. Our troops are now closer to vulnerable communities in these areas, strengthening our ability to respond swiftly and decisively when our people are threatened.

We are also fast-tracking the construction of new barracks and depots in Abuja, Ekiti, Ebonyi and Kogi, with Osun already completed. As we demand more from our men and women in uniform, we must do more to support them and their families.

Every deployment is a sacrifice made by a family too.

As our Armed Forces stand watch over Nigeria, my duty as Commander-in-Chief is to ensure they have the resources and support to do their job, and that Nigeria stands firmly behind the families waiting for them at home.

The Federal Government has cleared all inherited pension liabilities dating back to 2007 through a “N758bn intervention bond”, providing long-awaited financial relief to 957,045 beneficiaries across the country.

The milestone achievement was announced by the Director General of the National Pension Commission, Ms Omolola Oloworaran, during her keynote address titled ‘From Reform to Reality: Renewed Hope, Pension Security for All Nigerians’ at the 2026 PenCom Media Conference in Lagos on Tuesday.

Addressing members of the press, industry leaders, and media practitioners, Oloworaran emphasised that the payout marks a decisive end to decades of delayed benefits passed down across multiple political administrations.

She said, “The Federal Government cleared all inherited pension liabilities, some dating back to 2007. These obligations passed through multiple administrations, but this government chose to settle them. That is statesmanship—a debt paid, not just a promise.

Burkina Faso Seeks Stronger Ties with FUNAAB

The Consul General of Burkina Faso to Nigeria, Mr. Maxim Bengaly, on August 6, 2026, paid a courtesy visit to the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta (FUNAAB), seeking to strengthen bilateral cooperation with the University, particularly in agriculture and other areas of mutual interest.

During the visit, Mr. Bengaly identified agriculture, economic cooperation, cultural exchange, and scientific collaboration as key areas where Burkina Faso and FUNAAB could deepen their relationship.

He stressed that language should not constitute a barrier to stronger relations between Nigeria and Burkina Faso, noting that human beings possess the intellectual capacity to learn and master new languages. He further illustrated this with his personal business affiliations with Saki, a town in Oyo State.

Welcoming the Consul General and his delegation, the Vice-Chancellor expressed delight at the visit. He affirmed FUNAAB’s readiness to partner with Burkina Faso and other West African countries in the areas of research, education and community development.

Prof. Kehinde disclosed that the University had, over the years, trained nationals from various West African countries, particularly at the Postgraduate level, through its Africa Centre of Excellence in Agricultural Development and Sustainable Environment (CEADESE) programmes.

He assured the Consul General that students from Burkina Faso would be warmly welcomed to FUNAAB’s Postgraduate programmes, adding that the University was open to exploring further areas of collaboration.

The Vice-Chancellor also used the occasion to appeal to the Consul General to explore the possibility of facilitating the establishment of a French Language Centre at FUNAAB, noting its potential to strengthen communication, cultural exchange and academic collaboration between the University and Francophone countries.

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has taken a swipe at former Vice President Atiku Abubakar over the privatisation of public enterprises during the Obasanjo administration.

President Tinubu said one of his prospective opponents chaired the privatisation programme but failed to pay the pensions of affected workers. He declared that his government is now clearing those unpaid pensions and “clearing the mess” left behind.

He also reaffirmed that the economy has been stabilised after the tough but necessary reforms of the past three years.

STATEHOUSE PRESS RELEASE

PRESIDENT TINUBU URGES NIGERIAN MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS IN DIASPORA TO RETURN HOME, STRENGTHEN NIGERIA’S HEALTH SECTOR

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR @officialABAT on Friday urged Nigerian medical doctors and other healthcare professionals in the diaspora to return home and lend their expertise to the ongoing transformation of the nation's healthcare sector under the Renewed Hope Agenda.

President Tinubu stated this when he received a delegation of Nigerian Diaspora Medical Associations Worldwide led by the Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM) Hon. Abike Dabiri-Erewa @abikedabiri , as part of the 2026 National Diaspora Day Celebration at the State House, Abuja.

The event had in attendance the Minister of Information and National Orientation Alhaji Mohammed Idris Malagi, Minister of State for Health Dr. Iziaq Adekunle Salako, the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Public Communications Chief Sunday Dare, Special Adviser to the President on Health Dr. Salma Ibrahim Anas and Senior Special Assistant to the President on Women's Health Dr. Adanna Steinacker.

The President acknowledged that Nigeria needs the knowledge, innovation, experience and patriotism of its highly skilled professionals abroad to build a resilient and world-class healthcare system for all citizens.

“It is a very great joy to see that you are coming back to facilitate your single motivation to help your country meet the needs of our people, the medical outreaches; seeing indivisible commitment to humanity is part of your singular oath and commitment in life. I thank all of you.

“I have been through that journey, I'm home now and I can tell you there's nowhere like home. Some people built the society where you are; they have their hands on their plough, their focus was to develop their nation and their continent.”

The President recounted how he came to Nigeria after his experiences with Deloitte and Touche and working with Mobil (company) and eventually came to Nigeria to contribute his quota to nation building.

He reaffirmed that the Renewed Hope Agenda places healthcare at the centre of national development, stressing that the Federal Government is implementing far-reaching reforms to strengthen primary healthcare, expand access to quality medical services and encourage greater collaboration with Nigerian professionals in the diaspora. He said this would be achieved through sustained investments in medical education, research, digital health infrastructure, improved welfare and policies to reverse the trend of brain drain.

“So many of you have seen the hazard of the other side of the world. You have experienced the challenges and you have come back home to feel it and seal it. Poverty and lack of development is a challenge to Africa but what do you see as a Nigerian? This is the heart of Africa. And I have interacted with many of you, my friends who are still out there to try to attract them home.

“The best way to demonstrate to you is for me to commit myself to my agenda, the Renewed Hope, so that the hope of Nigerians of having better environment, better education, better development and prosperity can be realised.

“And that your hope that this part of the continent will change for good, for better, for an improved hospitable environment, so that one day your children will see the foundation of this country as belonging to them and the future belonging to them is what we are working hard for.”

President Tinubu commended the doctors for their unwavering commitment to humanity through their recent medical outreach programmes conducted across different parts of the country, including the North-East, North-West, South-East, South-West and other regions.

Why Senator Remi Tinubu Rejected the State Banquet in Abia.

Details have emerged on why the First Lady of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, reportedly declined to attend the state banquet prepared in her honour and to commission the smart school in Isiala Ngwa North, as earlier announced by the Abia State Government during the first lady's visit.

According to sources familiar with her protocol arrangements, the First Lady maintained that her visit to Abia was solely to empower Akwete women and interact with the local weavers. The sources said she declined to alter her official itinerary by visiting the Governor's private residence in Umuehim, Isiala Ngwa South, insisting that her schedule had been concluded before her arrival.

The sources further revealed that Senator Tinubu noted that the Deputy Speaker, Rt. Hon. Benjamin Kalu and Senator Orji Uzor Kalu were aware of the purpose of her visit and that, if she were to pay any courtesy call, leaders of her party would be a priority. She was also said to have expressed surprise at the presence of several state government officials and dignitaries, insisting they were not part of her official programme and that she only invited APC women and the states first Lady Mrs Priscilla Otti.

Obviously, the visit did not unfold in the manner the Abia State Government had anticipated and failed to provide the political validation it had hoped to gain from the First Lady.

Another embarrassing moment occurred when Dr. Uche Oga thanked the Abia State Governor for inviting the First Lady to Abia state, Senator Oluremi Tinubu immediately clarified that it wasn't the Governor that invited him but rather she came on her own, that she initiated discussions on coming to Akwete with the Governor's wife regarding her desire to visit Akwete and meet the local weavers, this was after watching the documentary on Akwete weaving on NTA . She explained that the trip was intended to be a quiet visit focused on empowering the women.

The First Lady also declined requests to commission a smart school in Isiala Ngwa North, maintaining that her mission in Abia was limited to Akwete and the women's empowerment programme and doesn't want it to be misinterpreted.

The Abia State Government has planned to use the First Lady's visit to validate the substandard smart school projects.

Recently Abia state government has been struggling to explain how the state has spent N112 billion on renovation of schools without any visible projects .Last month,they they took advantage of the recent visit of the Minister of Education to Michael Okpara University of Agriculture, Umudike, and dragged the minister into commissioning a purported smart school project and thereafter dragged him to visit a bus terminal an arrangement completely unrelated to his official assignment in an attempt to obtain political validation.
