An old video but this is the first time I've ever seen a player who chose to forfeit a clear penalty opportunity and opted to dribble till he produced an open play assist.

When I placed the Renewed Hope Agenda before Nigerians, I did not speak of housing in vague terms. I gave my word that this administration would work to make decent homes affordable again, and that a hardworking family, after years of paying rent, would finally have a path to a house of its own.

Let me account for that promise plainly, by juxtaposing what we pledged beside what we have actually achieved.

PRESS RELEASE

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐅𝐄𝐃𝐄𝐑𝐀𝐋 𝐆𝐎𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐍𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 𝐍𝐎𝐓𝐄𝐒 𝐈𝐌𝐅 𝐀𝐒𝐒𝐄𝐒𝐒𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 𝐎𝐅 𝐍𝐈𝐆𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐀'𝐒 𝐄𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐎𝐌𝐘 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐑𝐄𝐌𝐀𝐈𝐍𝐒 𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐌����𝐓𝐓𝐄𝐃 𝐓𝐎 𝐒𝐔𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐈𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐑𝐄𝐅𝐎𝐑𝐌𝐒 𝐌𝐎𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐔𝐌

Abuja, 9 June 2026

The Federal Government welcomes the publication of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) 2026 Article IV Mission Concluding Statement on Nigeria and notes its overall positive assessment of the country's economic reform programme. The report provides further independent validation that the bold and necessary reforms undertaken under the leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, are strengthening macroeconomic stability, restoring confidence, and laying the foundation for sustainable and inclusive growth.

The IMF observed that reforms implemented over the past two and a half years have yielded improved macroeconomic outcomes and enhanced Nigeria's resilience to external shocks. The Fund specifically highlighted improvements in foreign exchange market functioning, stronger external buffers, ongoing fiscal and revenue reforms, banking sector resilience, and growing macroeconomic stability. These developments affirm that Nigeria is moving in the right direction and is better positioned to withstand global economic uncertainties than at any time in recent years.

The Government is particularly encouraged by the IMF's recognition that the difficult but necessary decisions to end fuel subsidies, eliminate deficit monetisation, liberalise the foreign exchange market, and strengthen fiscal discipline have contributed significantly to reducing vulnerabilities and rebuilding confidence in the economy. The report notes that Nigeria now faces global shocks with stronger policy frameworks and buffers than before.

The recent conflict in the Middle East has created new challenges for economies around the world through higher energy prices, rising food costs, tighter financial conditions, and disruptions to global supply chains. While these developments present inflationary pressures, the IMF acknowledged that Nigeria has demonstrated notable resilience. Despite significant increases in global energy prices, the foreign exchange parallel market premium has remained below five percent, sovereign spreads have remained broadly stable, and investor confidence has been preserved.

The IMF further noted that Nigeria is well positioned to benefit from higher energy prices through stronger export earnings, improved fiscal revenues, and increased foreign exchange inflows.

The Federal Government remains focused on translating these opportunities into long-term gains by increasing crude oil production, expanding domestic refining capacity, growing gas production and exports, and attracting new investments across the energy value chain.

The Government acknowledges the IMF's observation that poverty and food insecurity remain significant challenges. While progress is being made in terms of per capita income growing by nearly 10 percent in 2025 indicating marked reduction in poverty levels, we are mindful that macroeconomic stability, while necessary, is not sufficient on its own. Economic growth must be inclusive and must translate into tangible improvements in the welfare of Nigerians.

Accordingly, the Government continues to strengthen targeted social protection programmes, including direct cash transfers to vulnerable households, support for small businesses, student financing through the Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND), consumer credit initiatives, healthcare investments, and interventions aimed at improving livelihoods and expanding economic opportunities.

In agriculture, the Government is scaling up investments through the Renewed Hope National Agricultural Mechanisation Programme and other initiatives designed to improve productivity, expand irrigation and dry-season farming, enhance access to inputs and financing, strengthen value chains, and improve food security. These efforts are aimed at moderating food inflation while creating jobs and raising rural incomes.

The Federal Government also welcomes the IMF's recognition of the progress being made in domestic revenue mobilisation and public financial management reforms. The successful implementation of Nigeria's new tax laws, the digitisation of revenue collection processes, improved transparency in public finance, and enhanced accountability mechanisms will continue to strengthen fiscal sustainability while ensuring a fairer and more efficient tax system.

We note the IMF's recommendations regarding fiscal reporting, budget transparency, and data reconciliation. The Government is already taking steps to strengthen fiscal data integrity, improve coordination among relevant institutions, enhance transparency in budget execution, and deepen public financial management reforms. Efforts are ongoing to improve fiscal reporting systems and ensure that economic and fiscal statistics continue to meet the highest international standards.

The report's medium-term outlook reinforces confidence in Nigeria's economic prospects. The IMF projects continued economic growth above four percent, improving external reserves, rising investment, and strengthening fiscal revenues over the medium term. Public debt has already declined relative to GDP, while reserve buffers have strengthened considerably. These outcomes which complement recent sovereign credit rating upgrades by leading international rating agencies reflect the growing resilience of the Nigerian economy and the positive impact of ongoing reforms.

The Federal Government remains firmly committed to maintaining macroeconomic stability, accelerating inclusive growth, strengthening fiscal discipline, deepening structural reforms, improving the investment climate, expanding infrastructure, enhancing human capital development and job creation. We will continue to pursue policies that support private sector growth, attract domestic and foreign investment, and improve the competitiveness of the Nigerian economy.

While challenges remain, the direction is clear and the foundations are stronger. The ultimate objective of these reforms is not merely improved economic indicators, but better outcomes for every Nigerian - lower inflation, decent jobs, higher incomes, greater economic opportunity, and a better quality of life.

It wasn’t.

With rare exception, colonies were unprofitable, meaning more was spent building infrastructure like roads, railways, buildings, etc. than was exported.

And look at places like Singapore and Hong Kong. Both were colonies for a long time and yet they are extremely prosperous.

Interviewer: “Do you believe that Tinubu actually won that election?”

Interviewee: “By every intention and purpose, I’m not in his party and I don’t have time for sh!t, let me explain to you why he won. If he had the machinery to rig the much, Buhari would not have allowed himself to lose in Katsina, and he did lose and the result was registered loss, if he had the machinery enough Nasiru who’s now angry would not have allowed himself to lose in Kaduna, he did lose and the result was registered loss”

—Man gave reason why President Tinubu actually won the last general elections.

It was Lagos that gave Africa its richest man, not Kano. Aliko Dangote is a Lagos man. Again, it was not Kano but Lagos that gave Africa its second richest man, Abdulsamad Ishaq Rabiu (BUA). Lagos made almost everybody who is who in Nigeria.

I commend all our patriotic front-line soldiers in the fight against terrorism in all forms.

You stand as a shield between innocent citizens and those who seek to destroy the peace, safety, and dignity of our communities.

In the forests, on the roads, at forward operating bases, in the air, creeks, and across difficult terrains, you carry the burden of national protection so that millions of Nigerians can sleep, work, worship, farm, trade, and raise their children in hope.

This fight has not been easy. It has come with pain, pressure, and sacrifice. But your courage has remained firm. Your service is acknowledged. Your sacrifice is honoured. Your country does not take you for granted.

To every officer and soldier of our Armed Forces, to the Police, DSS, Civil Defence, intelligence services, local security formations, and all who work day and night to keep Nigeria safe, I say thank you.

I also acknowledge the families behind the uniform. Many of you have endured long absences, anxious nights, and the emotional cost of duty. Nigeria remembers that sacrifice, too.

We honour those who have paid the supreme price in defence of our country. Their names may not always trend, but their courage lives on in rescued communities, protected families, and the survival of the nation they served.

The fight against terror is not only a military operation. It is a national duty. Citizens must support our security forces by providing timely, useful information. When you see something, say something. When you know something, report it.

Nigeria will not surrender to fear. We will not allow terrorists, bandits, kidnappers, or violent extremists to define who we are as a people. Their violence is not our identity. Their hatred does not represent Nigerians of any faith, creed, or community.

To our troops and all front-line patriots, thank you for your courage. Thank you for your vigilance. Thank you for your service.

May the Almighty protect you as you protect our country.

Bola Ahmed Tinubu
President and Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces
Federal Republic of Nigeria

Let it be on record that Governor Jide Sanwo-Olu was the first governor to take the Lagos Rail Master Plan from paper to reality in a $1.2b project.

And by October 2026, he is set to become the first governor to give Lagos real 24-hour power,not social media power.

I hope we remember to give him his flowers when the time comes. 💐

And then again, when are the new Red Line trains arriving?
We need as many Lagos creators,and creators from across Africa as possible flooding YouTube and social media platforms with videos of the new redline trains.

Also, when is Green Line construction starting? No time.
We need to be commissioning Phase One of the Marina–Ajah corridor for commuter service by 2027.

That line will seriously skyrocket the entire corridor and open up even more opportunities for residents, businesses, and investors.

The people that want to cancel Olamide are in their third generation now.

Their father’s uncle tried it first. He don focus on him family now, carrying load for Kampala, finally earning an honest living.

Their papa tried it too. He dey Cyprus now, coordinating entry and exit at a hospital as assistant security personnel, no time for social media.

The pikin is carrying the torch today. He will soon hand it over to his own children, and they will inherit the family trade.

In that same stretch of time, Olamide evolved from a hit maker, to a hit maker with hit makers, to a business leader who makes hits alongside his hit makers who are now bonafide business leaders in their own right.

Everyone in the loop found their calling.

This applies to many niche skills. I didn’t learn astrophotography from school, I learned it by getting my hands dirty & spent every night learning how NOT to do it.

If you want to do something, just start doing it. Waiting for someone to teach you might leave you with nothing.
