Honored to be one of the two launchers in Nairobi of Africa House Paris with Emmanuel Macron. I commend President Macron’s vision and commitment to creating a space that will strengthen connections between Africa and France through culture, dialogue, business, and innovation. Africa House, Paris, will serve as a platform for Africans and global partners to meet, collaborate, and build meaningful cross-cultural and economic partnerships. Proud to be part of this journey and committed to seeing the vision through to completion. #ASR

*Remembering Khalifa* Eight years have passed, yet time has not dimmed your presence—it has only deepened it. Your life, so purposeful and impactful, remains etched in our hearts and continues to shape the way we live, give, and carry forward the values you instilled in us. You taught us how to live—with faith, purpose, and integrity. Much of who we are today is because of you. Your guidance, strength, and quiet mentorship continue to shape our lives in ways words cannot fully express. You lived with quiet strength and profound selflessness, touching countless lives with kindness, compassion, and grace. Those moments, those prayers, and those acts of goodness endure through the people you touched and the legacy you left behind. Your devotion to Almighty Allah and to Islam was steadfast and exemplary. Yours was a life anchored in faith, sincerity, and higher purpose—one that continues to inspire us every day. As your children, we remain committed to upholding your principles, honoring your name, and preserving the legacy you built with dignity and meaning. We carry you with us, always. We pray that Almighty Allah, in His infinite mercy, grants you the highest station in Al Jannah Firdaus, envelops you in His Noor, and grants you eternal peace. Forever in our hearts. Forever in our prayers. Forever missed. Abdul Samad Rabiu, CFR, CON

Honored to have been invited to speak at the Desmond & Leah Tutu Legacy Foundation in Cape Town today, sharing my journey and engaging with such brilliant, driven fellows. What stood out most wasn’t just telling my story—it was the depth of the conversation that followed. The questions, the curiosity, and the shared belief that we all have a role to play in shaping a better future for Africa. We spoke about vision, responsibility, and the power of thinking beyond limitations. If there’s one thing I took away, it’s this: the potential is undeniable, and the responsibility is ours. Africa’s greatness isn’t a distant dream—it’s something we build, intentionally, every single day. #ASR

I commend the signing of the strategic Memorandum of Understanding between Nigeria’s BUA Group @BUAgroup and UAE-based AD Ports Group and MAIR Group in Abu Dhabi today. Only last month, upon the invitation of His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the United Arab Emirates, we witnessed the signing of the Nigeria–UAE Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement to boost cooperation between Nigeria and the United Arab Emirates. This signing therefore represents a significant industrial and trade breakthrough arising from renewed and improved Nigeria–UAE engagement under our administration, and a tangible dividend of strengthened diplomatic ties and expanding economic cooperation, following my recent state visits and high-level engagements that prioritised trade, investment, infrastructure, and food security. The partnership between the three companies explores collaboration in sugar refining, agro-industrial development, and integrated global logistics solutions, with sugar refining and advanced logistics infrastructure to be developed at the Khalifa Ports in the UAE to enhance food security, value addition, strengthen supply chain resilience, and also deepen structured trade flows between West Africa, the Gulf region, and Asia. I have always maintained that strategic diplomacy must translate into measurable economic gains. I therefore commend the BUA Group Chairman, Alhaji Abdul Samad Rabiu @asr_rabiu, and his BUA team for aligning with our administration’s vision for Nigerian industrialisation and showing that Nigerian companies are capable of playing on the global stage, even as this administration continues to deepen partnerships that attract investment, expand exports, strengthen Nigerian enterprise, and deliver sustainable prosperity. ~ Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria

Excited to sign this milestone MOU with AD Ports Group and MAIR Group. Together, we’re advancing sugar refineries, edible oil facilities, and agro-industrial projects at Khalifa Port, Abu Dhabi. #ASR
