CITY BOY MOVEMENT MEDIA DIRECTORATE HOLDS INAUGURAL MEETING, FLAGS OFF NATIONAL MEDIA MOBILISATION

ABUJA, NIGERIA The City Boy Movement (CBM) has officially activated its National Media Directorate following a successful inaugural meeting held on Tuesday, February 18, 2026, in Abuja. The development marks a major step in strengthening the Movement’s strategic communications framework and expanding its nationwide grassroots engagement.

The high-level hybrid meeting was presided over by the National Media (@DOlusegun ) Director, Hon. Dada Olusegun, and recorded an exceptional turnout, with more than 300 media professionals joining virtually, alongside physical participants representing all 36 states of the federation.

A key resolution from the meeting was the establishment of a National Reconciliation Team tasked with fostering coordination and operational harmony across the country’s geopolitical zones. Mr. Famuyide Olumide was nominated to lead the unit, supported by the following zonal coordinators:
•South West: Akin Akinwale
•South East: Ogugu Chioma Gloria
•South South: Nathan Yakubu
•North Central: Hamza Abdullahi

Speaking during the opening session, Hon. Dada Olusegun emphasised the importance of unity and structural cohesion within the Movement.

“Our strength lies in our unity. By streamlining our internal processes and harmonising regional efforts, we are positioning the City Boy brand to be more resilient, coordinated, and impactful nationwide.”

The meeting convened a broad coalition of digital media influencers, mainstream media professionals, and grassroots communication strategists. This integrated approach is designed to ensure that the Movement’s messaging — focused on supporting the re-election of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in 2027 — effectively reaches both urban digital audiences and rural communities across the country.

The session concluded with a charge from the National Media Director urging members to uphold professionalism, discipline, and proactive storytelling in advancing the Movement’s communication objectives.

SANWO-OLU GREETS MUSLIMS, CHRISTIANS FOR RAMADAN, LENT

The Governor of Lagos State, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has celebrated with Christians and Muslims on the commencement of this year's Lenten and Ramadan fasting season.

Governor Sanwo-Olu, in a statement issued by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr. Gboyega Akosile, greets Christians and Muslims for Lent and Ramadan, urging them to use the fasting period to seek the face of God in prayers.

The Governor enjoins Nigerians and Lagosians in particular to be more steadfast in prayers to God against many untoward occurrences in the country and seek advancement of our shared peace and prosperity.

He said: "I congratulate Lagosians and Nigerians, especially Christians and Muslims, for the celebration of this year's Lent and Ramadan. The fasting period is very significant to Christian and Muslim faithful across the world. It teaches abstinence from worldly pleasures, steadfastness in prayers and total submission to the will of God.

"I believe strongly that the start of these two major religions’ activities on the same day is not a mere coincidence but God’s design for our nation and the entire world for peace and stability.

"Lent and Ramadan are important seasons in the Christian and Islamic calendars. It is a period when the adherents are expected to fast and seek God’s intervention in the affairs of man. The season teaches us the significance of abstinence for the sake of seeking God’s grace, mercy and forgiveness.

"As we join the rest of the world in observing this year's Lent and Ramadan, I enjoin Lagosians and Nigerians, especially Christians and Muslims, to be more steadfast in prayers to God against any forms of evil occurrences in our land.

"Let us be good to one another. We should be tolerant and be of good behaviour to one another. Let us continue to offer prayers for continued peace, unity and stability in Lagos and Nigeria at large."

STATEHOUSE STATEMENT

PRESIDENT TINUBU'S MESSAGE ON THE PASSING OF CIVIL RIGHTS ICON REVEREND JESSE JACKSON

I join the rest of the world and the people of the United States of America to mourn the passing of civil rights icon and renowned Baptist preacher, Reverend Jesse Jackson, who passed away this morning at the age of 84.

Reverend Jackson was a servant-leader who captured the global imagination as a young activist, alongside civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr., fighting for the dignity of black people, the oppressed, and the voiceless in the United States and across the world.

Although he built a career working as a preacher and active political organiser, Reverend Jackson became a national and global icon, demanding improved social and economic conditions for African-Americans.

Along with other compatriots, Reverend Jackson carried on the unfinished business of Martin Luther King Jnr in the noble fight for racial justice in the United States.

As a student in the United States in the 1970s, I lived in Chicago, the same city where Reverend Jackson fought the most important battles against injustice and all forms of discrimination. I witnessed firsthand how, as a faithful servant of God and humanity, he pointed the arc of American society to the great promise of the American dream.

As a community organiser and activist, Rev. Jackson was an influential figure in American politics and global affairs. If Barack Obama became the first Black American president, it was because Reverend Jackson and his fellow activists did not relent in their march for justice, reminding America of its values and creed.

When Barack Obama broke the glass ceiling as the first Black President in America, it was Reverend Jackson who first inflicted the cracks on the ceiling in 1984 and again in 1988 when he offered himself as a Democratic Party presidential contender.

Reverend Jackson was a great friend of Nigeria and Africa. He was a moral voice and a formidable resistance to apartheid in South Africa. He played a leading role in the campaign for the release from prison of Nelson Mandela and other African National Congress leaders. He won critical support for sanctions against the then apartheid government.

During the dark era of military dictatorship in Nigeria, Reverend Jackson stood in defence of human rights and the restoration of democratic rule. He was the Special Envoy appointed by President Bill Clinton to Nigeria and Africa in 1997 and 1999.

In Nigeria and across Africa, Reverend Jackson promoted civil liberties and advanced the course of democracy and good governance. He also helped link African leaders with the Congressional Black Caucus to promote Africa’s interests in Washington.

Reverend Jackson lived a remarkable life as a strong voice for the universal ideals of justice and human progress. Even as age and illness mellowed him, his voice still resonated, urging us never to stop fighting for what is right and never to lose faith in humanity. He wanted us to “keep hope alive”.

May the great and noble soul of Reverend Jackson find eternal rest.

President @officialABAT, Tuesday, unveiled Nigeria Industrial Policy 2025 with a charge to relevant ministries, departments and agencies (MDAs) of government to ensure speedy implementation.

According to him, the policy, which is a roadmap for re-engineering Nigeria’s industrial base, unlocking value across sectors, and placing production, competitiveness, and jobs at the centre of the nation’s economic strategy, has already established a clear implementation architecture, because policies rarely fail at conception but at execution.

Speaking during the official launch of the Nigeria Industrial Policy 2025 at the Bola Ahmed Tinubu International Conference Centre, Abuja, the President who was represented by his deputy, Vice President @KashimSM, regretted that for too long, Nigeria has grappled “with fragmented value chains, high production costs, infrastructure gaps, policy inconsistency, and insufficient coordination between government and industry.”

Emphatically, the Nigerian leader noted, however, that “this stops now,” as the Nigeria Industrial Policy 2025 is an acknowledgement of such deficiencies.

STATEHOUSE PRESS RELEASE

PRESIDENT TINUBU TO YOUNG HEALTH FELLOWS: SERVE WITH HONOUR, HUMILITY AND COURAGE, THE NATION BELIEVES IN YOU

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Tuesday urged the young fellows of the Federal Government's National Health Fellowship Programme to serve with honour, humility and courage, assuring them that the government will work assiduously to secure their career paths.

President Tinubu said this during the first National Traditional and Religious Leaders Summit on Health in Abuja.

The President described the Fellows as the driving force towards achieving the Renewed National Health Alliance.

The National Health Fellows are carefully selected from each of the 774 Local Governments in Nigeria. This is the Second Cohort of the Fellows, selected to boost health care delivery nationwide, as part of a programme championed by the Federal Ministry of Health and Social Welfare.

"Today, I stand here with pride that our young people are proving yet again that Nigeria’s future is not something to fear. It is something to look forward to. I thank the Federal Ministry of Health and Social Welfare, state governments and all our partners for keeping this vision alive.

"We are working to secure your career paths through the federal structure and support from development partners. I am also aware that the Honourable Minister of Health and Social Welfare and his team have requested state governments to host a fitting graduation ceremony for you in your states as you complete your fellowship. I thank you on behalf of a grateful nation and urge you to carry the spirit of altruism, as it will bring great rewards.

``To Cohort 2, the National Health Fellowship Programme represents a new Nigeria where talent and competence help you reach your full potential. This administration recognises and believes in the potential of our youth. We will harness your energy to fuel our renewal and create opportunities that provide you with dignity, purpose and a pathway to leadership.”

President Tinubu enjoined the Fellows to work in synergy with the traditional and religious leaders to ensure effective and efficient service delivery.

"You are the driving force that traditional and religious leaders will count on to fulfil the commitment they made today as the operational backbone of this national health alliance. Bring structures where systems are weak, data where decisions lack clarity and energy where communities seek hope. You are the youthful force behind Nigeria’s health transformation,” he said

The President also urged traditional and religious leaders to support government efforts to achieve universal health coverage.

"We are building an inclusive, united and committed society to renew the hope of our people. The keyword here is HOPE. Nothing good is achieved without our hope, and we pledge to do everything possible to renew it.

The President reaffirmed his administration’s will to sustain the war against insecurity, assuring that Nigeria will eventually win the battle.

The Minister of Health and Social Welfare, Professor Mohammed Ali Pate, thanked the President for providing the required leadership in policy direction. He presented the 2025 State of Health Report to the President.

"We have used the 2025 State of Health of the Nation Report as a basis for the dialogue. As you can see, Christian and Muslim faiths are represented to hear their feedback, and I think we have carried some important lessons from what we have heard from them.”

"We hereby commend the Federal and State governments for embarking on the ambitious Nigeria Health Sector Renewal Investment Initiative and for the inclusive spirit of the Health Sector Compact.

Traditional rulers and religious leaders from the six geopolitical zones of the country attended the event. Among them were the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi; the Olu of Warri, Ogiame Atuwatse III; the Emir of Zazzau, Alhaji Ahmed Nuhu Bamalli; and the Tor Tiv, Prof. James Ortese Ayatsev.

Others were the Olowo of Owo, Oba Ajibade Ogunoye; the Shehu of Borno, Alhaji Abubakar Umar Garbai Al-Kanemi; Igwe Dr Lawrence Chikezie Agubuzu, the Ogbumechendu of Ezema Olo Kingdom; the Ayangburen of Ikorodu, Oba Kabiru Adewale Shotobi; and the Olumobi of Imobi-Ijesa Kingdom, Oba Jacob Adetayo Hasstrup.

The President of the Christian Association of Nigeria, Most Rev. Daniel Okoh, and the Deputy President General South of the Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs, Alhaji Razaq Oladejo, committed to champion community healthcare coverage in their spheres of influence.

Abiodun Expresses Deep Sorrow Over Ota Toll Gate Tragedy, Condemns Reckless Driving, Directs Full Investigation

The Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun, has strongly condemned the reckless driving habits of some truck operators plying the Sango–Ota corridor, following a fatal accident at the Ota Toll Gate area that claimed seven lives.

The crash, which involved a trailer tanker reportedly affected by brake failure, resulted in the deaths of six men and one woman. Two other victims — a male and a female — sustained critical injuries and are currently receiving medical attention. In total, nine persons were involved in the tragic incident.

Describing the development as painful and unacceptable, the Governor said the loss of innocent lives due to preventable negligence is one too many. He extended his heartfelt condolences to the bereaved families and prayed for strength and comfort for them during this difficult period.

Governor Abiodun has directed an immediate investigation into the circumstances surrounding the accident, stressing that anyone found culpable must face the full weight of the law.

He also called for heightened vigilance and stricter traffic enforcement by the Nigeria Police Force, Federal Road Safety Corps, Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, and the Traffic Compliance and Enforcement Corps to prevent a recurrence along the busy corridor.

In a related development, the Executive Chairman of Ado-Odo/Ota Local Government, Lawal Adewale Wasiu visited the scene shortly after the incident alongside key local government officials, where he received briefings from security operatives coordinating rescue and control efforts.

The Chairman expressed deep sorrow over the tragedy and reiterated the need for strict adherence to traffic regulations.

He also cautioned against roadside trading and other risky activities that expose residents and commuters to avoidable danger, assuring that the council would collaborate closely with relevant agencies to strengthen safety compliance within the axis.

The Ogun State Government reaffirmed its resolve to intensify road safety enforcement and protect lives and property across the state.
