Imagine if Tinubu wants to describe how he built Eko Atlantic City..... "Seun, I was leading my people from Ikeja to a place we call Island of Victoria. Federal Government was pursuing us from the back and we approached the Atlantic in the front. Nowhere to go. Then I spread my hand towards to Atlantic, Seun I cleared the Atlantic. I mean it was ocean before, I levelled it. It is no longer Atlantic Ocean, I turned it to Atlantic City. Seun, I then turned back and Federal Government was scared of me because of the miracle I performed. They started running away, I pursued them. They kept running. I chased them away from Ogun, Osun, Ondo, Ekiti, Kwara, Sokoto, Kano, etc until I chased them away from Abuja and occupied Aso Rock......"

Troops of Operation Hadin Kai have recorded another major operational breakthrough with the surrender of a senior Islamic State of West Africa Province (ISWAP) finance operative, highlighting the sustained impact of ongoing kinetic and intelligence-driven operations across the North East.

The Acting Military Information Officer of the Theatre Command, Captain Mohammed Goni, disclosed this in a statement, noting that the development comes amid a growing wave of terrorist surrenders.

According to him, about 46 terrorists and their family members have voluntarily surrendered to troops in recent days, underscoring the increasing pressure being mounted on terrorist strongholds.

First, he introduced the State Police, which has now been passed by both chambers of the National Assembly. Then he expanded the Nigerian Army from the current eight Divisions to twelve Divisions. The additional 4 divisions will increase Nigerian Army personnel by 28,000 troops.

This is in addition to the planned introduction of 139,000 Forest Guards to police Nigeria's forests and woodlands, where bandits often hide. Of this number, almost 10,000 have already been deployed.

This is the most far-reaching reform of Nigeria's national security architecture since the Nigerian Civil War. It shows that His Excellency, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, is a steady and effective hand who is committed to the security of life and property of all Nigerians and foreigners resident in Nigeria, as well as the supremacy of the rule of law and the assurance of law and order in Nigeria.

As a Nigerian citizen, this should make you more confident in your government. Insecurity is easing, and with these new improvements by the President, the Federal Republic of Nigeria will definitely win the war on terror.

PRESS STATEMENT

NIGERIA ACCELERATES SMART METER DEPLOYMENT WITH FLAG-OFF OF TRAINING FOR FIRST BATCH OF METER INSTALLERS

Nigeria's efforts to scale up delivery of seven million smart electricity meters and close its metering gap received a boost on Thursday, with the flag-off in Abuja of POWER FORCE, a training programme that will produce 5,000-meter installers across the country.

The Power Force programme is being implemented under the Presidential Metering Initiative (PMI), launched by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in 2023. The flag-off ceremony, held at the headquarters of the National Power Training Institute of Nigeria (NAPTIN), also featured the unveiling of the first batch of selected applicants, who will undergo a three-week intensive practical and classroom training in Abuja.

Close to 220,000 submissions were received from interested young Nigerians across the country during the application period.

Dignitaries in attendance at the event included the Minister of Power, Joseph Tegbe; the Minister of Youth Development, Ayo Olawande; the Executive Secretary of the Presidential Metering Initiative and Special Adviser to the President on Oil and Gas, Olu Arowolo Verheijen; and the Project Director of the PMI, Obafemi Solebo. The Governor of Kwara State and Chairman of the Nigeria Governors' Forum (NGF), who also chairs the PMI Board, His Excellency Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq, was represented at the event by Mr Edmund Obiora Nnaji, Executive Director, Finance and Administration at the NGF.

Other attendees included the Director-General of the Bureau of Public Enterprises (BPE), Mr Ayo Gbeleyi; the Managing Director of NAPTIN, Mr Ahmed Bolaji Nagode; and the Managing Director of the Nigerian Electricity Management Services Agency (NEMSA), Mr Adesayo Olusegun Michael.

In his address, Governor Abdulrazaq said, "PMI is not just about fixing the finances of the power sector through metering. It is also about impacting the lives of young Nigerians, through training and skills development." He called on fellow governors to explore "supporting this Power Force initiative with a view to expanding the pool beyond the initial five thousand trainees being targeted."

Power Minister Tegbe said, "Behind every successful metering programme must stand thousands of competent, certified and dedicated technicians. The 5,000 young Nigerians being trained under this initiative will become the backbone of Nigeria's smart metering workforce."

The Power Force initiative, he added, "demonstrates that our electricity reforms are not merely about equipment and technology; they are equally about creating opportunities, building human capital and securing livelihoods."

He commended the Association of Meter Manufacturers of Nigeria (AMMON) for withdrawing a court action it had instituted against the meter deployment programme, noting that "that singular decision has removed a significant obstacle to the accelerated deployment of electricity meters across the country."

Youth Minister Olawande said Power Force is directly supporting his Ministry's "One Youth, Two Skills" initiative. "This is not just the launch of a training programme; it is about creating jobs and opportunities for Nigerian youths to contribute to national development," he said.

He added, "President Tinubu's administration has demonstrated that Nigeria's federal ministries, departments and agencies can have the force of collaboration in making sure the dividends of democracy get to everybody in the country."

Special Adviser Verheijen described the PMI as the largest metering programme in the history of Nigeria, established under the leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu "to solve one of the biggest barriers to a reliable electricity sector: ensuring that every Nigerian pays only for the electricity they actually use."

She added, “One young installer cannot transform Nigeria. But five thousand can inspire fifty thousand. And fifty thousand can inspire millions more. That is how movements begin. One opportunity. One person. One act of service at a time.”

Following the Abuja launch, the Power Force training will expand to various centres across Nigeria's six geopolitical zones. Upon completion, trainees will receive formal certification by NEMSA as qualified meter installers who have met national and international competence and safety standards.

STATEHOUSE PRESS RELEASE

PRESIDENT TINUBU APPROVES EXPANSION OF NIGERIAN ARMY TO 12 DIVISIONS, RECRUITMENT OF 28,000 PERSONNEL TO STRENGTHEN NATIONAL SECURITY

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, has approved the expansion of the Nigerian Army’s structure from eight to twelve divisions—a landmark move to enhance the country’s security architecture and improve the operational effectiveness of the Nigerian Army.

This approval underscores the President’s unwavering commitment to equipping the Armed Forces to address Nigeria’s evolving security challenges effectively and to strengthen national defence capabilities further.

The expansion builds on the Administration’s sustained investments in the Armed Forces, including approval for the recruitment of 28,000 additional personnel, acquisition of critical military platforms and equipment, improvements in troop welfare, and ongoing support for operational readiness and force modernisation.

Under the new structure, the Nigerian Army will operate twelve divisions, strategically positioned across the country as follows:

1. 1 Division Headquarters – Kaduna (Kaduna, Kano, Katsina and Jigawa States)
2. 2 Division Headquarters – Ibadan (Oyo, Osun, Ekiti and Ondo States)
3. 3 Division Headquarters – Jos (Plateau, Bauchi and Gombe States)
4. 5 Division Headquarters – Makurdi (Benue, Nasarawa and Kogi States)
5. 6 Division Headquarters – Port Harcourt (Rivers, Akwa Ibom and Cross River States)
6. 7 Division Headquarters – Maiduguri (Borno and Yobe States)
7. 8 Division Headquarters – Sokoto (Sokoto, Kebbi and Zamfara States)
8. 9 Division Headquarters – Ilorin (Kwara and Niger States)
9. 10 Division Headquarters – Jalingo (Taraba and Adamawa States)
10. 81 Division Headquarters – Lagos (Lagos and Ogun States)
11. 82 Division Headquarters – Enugu (Enugu, Anambra, Abia, Ebonyi and Imo States)
12. 83 Division Headquarters – Benin City (Edo, Delta and Bayelsa States).

The establishment of the new Divisions in Makurdi, Ilorin, Jalingo and Benin City will significantly improve command and control, decentralise operational decision-making, strengthen border security, enhance the protection of critical national infrastructure, improve counter-insurgency and internal security operations, and ensure faster military response to emerging threats nationwide.

Implementation of the new force structure will be done in two phases. The first phase, covering the establishment of the 5, 9, and 10 Divisions and the reorganisation of existing formations, will be completed by September 2026. The second phase, involving the establishment of the 83 Division and further reorganisation, is expected to be completed by December 2026.

President Tinubu commended the Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Waidi Ibrahim Shuaibu, and all officers and soldiers of the Nigerian Army for their dedication, professionalism, and steadfast commitment to defending Nigeria’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.

The President reaffirmed his Administration’s determination to continue investing in the Armed Forces, ensuring they remain adequately equipped, highly motivated, and fully capable of protecting the nation and guaranteeing the safety and security of all Nigerians.
