Lost my iPad on August 7, 2019. Searched everywhere & only recently figured out I might have left it at MM2 passing thru security to catch a Lag to Abj flight. 3 weeks after checked with the staff at MM2 & it was there #proudlynigerian 😊
Two years ago, I pledged to champion a foreign policy prioritising our people, our prosperity, and our place in the world.
Today, I am proud to announce the West Africa Economic Summit (WAES) 2025, which will be held in Abuja on June 20–21, with the theme “Unlocking Trade and Investment Opportunities in the Region.”
This summit is not just an event. It is a bold step toward a prosperous, integrated West Africa powered by trade, innovation, and our most valuable asset: our people.
WAES 2025 will bring together Heads of State, CEOs, investors, entrepreneurs, youth innovators, and development partners to craft real solutions and unlock real opportunities.
From the Presidential Roundtable to the Deal Room, from youth empowerment showcases to regional project partnerships — this is where vision meets action.
I invite the world to join us in Abuja as we build a stronger, more unified, and globally competitive West Africa.

ECOWAS at 50 is a story of you—the people breaking barriers, building futures, and driving West Africa forward together.
Tomorrow, we gather in Lagos to celebrate our shared journey, honour our unity, and look ahead to the next 50 years of regional progress.

Is Nigerian Political System carved against young people? https://t.co/VLP1TfnyzN - I concluded my four part series profiling women in politics with this one about @simifaj and the amazing job she does alongside @ose_anenih . Thanks to @CDDWestAfrica for sponsoring this work READ
Yesterday, my uber driver said it's the responsibility of legislators, not citizens, to hold government accountable, in the spirit of checks & balances. I'm thinking there's room to partner with ridesharing companies to expand convo on civic education. Bonjour.

Good evening. Thank you for the kind words. Happy to announce @gra_africa as my new venture. We have a landing page (https://t.co/4UyWXp6dts) while the website is in progress. 💫
I had a great time speaking at #DARE2019#LEVERAGE last week, where I shared my HOR campaign story.
Politics is in need of solution and with resourceful people like you and I, we'll create a better system that works for every Nigerian.
The tragedy in Onitsha raises a question on why the fire service should be federal and not state, for responsiveness; and how states can at least copy the emergency service in Lagos.
If a company has no verifiable address online or offline, that is a huge red flag. Please don't be super desperate for a job and lose your money, property or life. Please RT these two tweets and spread the message.
Anyone who engages in recruitment scam is a criminal and should be treated as such.
Guys, you have to be careful so you don't get scammed or kidnapped. Do a background check of the office address, website or google names of individuals/companies that invite you to an interview.
I had the worst flight experience @airfrance from Abuja to Paris to Dallas. I don’t understand how your business class had only one bathroom, with no running water and made traveling with a toddler extremely arduous. You can do better!
