PRAY FOR ABIA STATE.
Gov. Alex Otti hàtes the people of Abia. He doesn’t care about their lives and properties.
Abia State does not have a functional Fire Service that’s equipped to carry out their duties.
Let me tell you how crazy Obidients can be. If this is accepted and implemented by President Tinubu, the same set of Obidients that have been shouting for state police would begin to criticize and abuse President Tinubu for establishing state police. Have you seen any Obidient applaud this news? NEVER.
It’s all a strategy and scam.
BREAKING NEWS: In preparation for the establishment of state police, the Inspector General of Police, Olatunji Rilwan Disu, has submitted a framework for the creation of State Police to the Senate.
@ruffydfire Mr Rufai, do you know that a Nigerian Bachelor's Degree especially from the State University is not equivalent to an Australian Bachelor's Degree regardless of how many years we study - 4years.
What could be humiliating in an international education platform than this?
The Federal Government has placed a six-year suspension on the approval of new universities, polytechnics and colleges of education across Nigeria.
Naija News reports that the decision was taken during a meeting of the Federal Executive Council presided over by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu at the Presidential Villa.
Minister of Education Tunji Alausa briefed journalists after the meeting and explained that the temporary restriction is meant to improve the quality and stability of existing tertiary institutions in the country.

FMINO PRESS RELEASE
TINUBU’S ECONOMIC REFORMS ARE STEADYING NIGERIA, RESTORING TRUST – INFORMATION MINISTER
The Honourable Minister of Information and National Orientation, @HMMohammedIdris , has said that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s economic reforms are stabilising Nigeria’s economy, restoring confidence, and putting the country on a sustainable growth path after years of uncertainty.
The Minister spoke during a virtual interview on ICAN On Air, a live programme of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria (ICAN), streamed on Thursday.
According to Idris, the removal of fuel subsidy and the unification of the foreign exchange rate were deliberate decisions taken early in the administration to fix deep structural problems that threatened the country’s economic survival. “You cannot build an economy where the foundation itself is extremely faulty. As of May 2023, about 26 out of 36 states could not pay salaries, and about 97 per cent of our income was going into debt servicing. Nigeria couldn't survive on that path,” he said.
The Minister explained that while the reforms caused short-term shocks, they were necessary to correct long-standing distortions and return national resources to the broader population, rather than a few beneficiaries. “These were not politically convenient decisions, but the President believed we were living on borrowed time. If those steps were not taken, Nigeria was heading in the wrong direction,” Idris added.
He noted that recent economic indicators show clear signs of improvement, including more substantial foreign reserves, easing inflation, and growing investor and international partner confidence. “Today, our foreign reserves are about 46 billion dollars, the highest in about eight years. Headline inflation has dropped significantly, and Nigeria is receiving acceptance both domestically and internationally,” he said.
Idris also highlighted Nigeria’s removal from the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) grey list as a significant credibility boost, explaining that it has improved access to global capital and strengthened Nigeria’s standing in the international financial system.
On tax reforms, the Minister clarified that the objective is not to increase the burden on citizens but to simplify the system, eliminate duplication, and bring more people into the tax net fairly and transparently. “The tax reform is not meant to make people pay more tax. It is to simplify the process, remove duplication, and bring those outside the tax net into it, so the government can plan better for development,” he said.
The Minister also stressed that trust is central to effective governance and public communication, describing it as his core assignment since assuming office. “Without trust, there is no way you can build confidence, and without confidence, there can be no meaningful development. Our job is to communicate government policies truthfully, transparently, and listen to feedback from Nigerians,” Idris said.
He explained that President Tinubu regularly seeks feedback on policies and is willing to adjust implementation where necessary, while remaining firm on reforms considered essential for long-term national progress.
Addressing the challenge of misinformation, the Minister said the government is strengthening inter-agency collaboration and media literacy to curb the spread of fake news without undermining freedom of expression. “Fake news is dangerous. If you don’t find a way to reduce its impact, you wake up one day, and you don’t have a country. Media freedom is critical, but it must come with responsibility,” he said.
Idris added that Nigeria won the bid to host UNESCO’s first Category-2 Media and Information Literacy Institute, aimed at equipping citizens, especially young people, with the skills to distinguish facts from falsehoods.
"Keir Starmer, the British Prime Minister visited China, and he got instant results. Tinubu has visited 47 countries since he was in, no results"
-A Nigerian man poured out his frustration on how Tinubu kept travelling throughout the world with taxpayers' money without achieving anything.
@Onsogbu Stupid and poor analysis. What you have failed to factor is the presence of MNCs (Multi-National corporations in Lagos who operate in Lagos and pay tax in Lagos. These companies operate their because of its strategic importance to national economy as well as SMEs.

In 2006, Peter Obi declared that "EDUCATION IS NOT FOR THE POOR" AS HE FORCED SEC SCH STUDENTS TO PAY 1st,2nd & 3rd TERM AT ONCE.
In 2026, same Peter Obi has said "I WILL REMOVE STUDENT LOAN, WHEN I BECOME PRESIDENT BECAUSE IT IS WASTEFUL".

Dear Hon. Benjamin Kalu @OfficialBenKalu,
Abia is at a crossroads. While other states build airlines, unlock tourism, and leave lasting legacies, your people are asked to celebrate bus stops and water fountain.
Your leadership, brilliance, courage, and vision are exactly what Abia needs. Please step into the ring in 2027. Come rescue your people from mediocrity. Deliver innovative solutions, pride, purpose and progress to your great state.
The eyes of Abia are upon you.
History will remember those who rise when their people call.
