GOVERNOR ZULUM HANDS OVER NEW JAMB ZONAL OFFICE IN MAIDUGURI TO JAMB REGISTRAR/CEO
Borno state government has officially handed over the newly constructed Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) Northeast Zonal Office in Maiduguri to the board's outgoing registrar and chief executive, Professor Ishaq Oloyede, alongside the incoming registrar, Professor Segun Aina.
Governor Babagana Umara Zulum presented the facility during a ceremony attended by senior officials of the Borno state government and the JAMB headquarters.
The ultra-modern office complex was completed in just four months and it is expected to enhance JAMB's operations in the region, improve service delivery for candidates and institutions, and further support the development of Nigeria's education sector.
Q: Do you think you have gotten an age of political retirement because you don't seem to be lobbying for more?
Fashola: I have been very lucky. I haven’t lobbied for any office in which I have served.

"President Tinubu told me, 'When I assume office, don't negotiate with criminals.' By negotiating with criminals, we are indirectly empowering them against ourselves, and that is what we are doing in Kogi State today". — Governor of Kogi State, Ahmed Usman Ododo
Germany has reaffirmed its commitment to strengthening bilateral relations with Nigeria, announcing an additional €10 million in support to promote peace, security, humanitarian assistance, and post-conflict recovery during the official visit of the German Foreign Minister to Abuja.
The funding is aimed at supporting the rehabilitation of displaced communities, rebuilding critical infrastructure, and restoring livelihoods in conflict-affected areas, particularly in Nigeria's North-East.
"Only last week, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu allocated $3 billion for the reconstruction of the Eastern Rail Corridor... Following a review of all options, we, the five governors of the South-East, have decided to align our support with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu." — Imo State Governor and Chairman of the South-East Governors’ Forum, Hope Uzodimma
There is nothing exciting from the other side (opposition) other than those who want a change of government just wanting the president to go, but to what? What are you giving us instead?

"May our loyalty never be tested"- Babatunde Raji Fashola refused to throw Asiwaju under the bus by promising to forfeit his loyalty to his benefactor. 👏👏👏
I remember clapping for him when I watched it Live.

The power of social media is truly amazing. ❤️
I made a random post about a man selling pure water on the streets of Abuja while dressed in a suit. Not long after, Cosgrove Investment Limited saw the post and commented, asking us to help find him because they believed such dedication deserved to be rewarded.
A few days later, I found him, reached out to Cosgrove and connected them.
Just over a week later, he called me with so much gratitude. Cosgrove had met with him and empowered him to start a business of his own. He couldn’t stop thanking everyone who made it possible.
This is a reminder that one simple post can change someone’s life.
Thank you to everyone who shared the post and helped us find him. And a special thank you to Cosgrove for turning kindness into action.

Today, the House of Representatives passed President Bola Tinubu’s Executive bill on State Police.
The bill will now be sent to the states house of assembly for approval.
You mean real people wake up every day, look around, see new roads, improved infrastructure, and development happening in their communities, then suddenly say, “Forget all this progress — let’s vote for @PeterObi the serial liar, or @sowore the professional fabricator or Atiku the veteran contender still searching for the winning formula”?
Politics can be emotional, but voters usually remember what they can see.
I received the Director-General of NIMC, Dr. Abisoye Coker-Odusote, and her team as we discussed how digital identity can support the ongoing reforms in the solid minerals sector.
A credible identity system is essential to effective governance. It helps us track activities, strengthen regulation, improve security and make better decisions based on reliable data. These are all critical to our efforts to sanitise the mining sector and build greater transparency and accountability.
We also talked about how the new NIMC Act creates fresh opportunities for stronger collaboration across government. By working together and making better use of technology and trusted data, we can improve governance, support investment and deliver lasting reforms in Nigeria’s mining industry.
Today, I paid a courtesy visit to Distinguished Senator Kabiru Gaya, one of the founding fathers of our great party, the APC, who has since joined the NDC.
Our meeting was warm and focused on the unity of Kano State. We agreed that leaders have a responsibility to promote dialogue and peaceful coexistence.
Democracy is strengthened not by division, but by our collective resolve to put the interests of the people above political differences.

Please take 13 minutes of your time this morning to watch this exchange between the Minister of Finance @taiwoyedele and the Senate Committee on Finance
A lot of the videos I saw before I searched cut out the minister's response and emphasized only the Senators' questions.
