“I’ve been seeing a lot of Nigerians saying that I went to meet Seyi Tinubu and that they bribed me with money. Even before that prayer, I made it clear that Peter Obi is my candidate and I will vote for him.” — Isaac Fayose reacts to the backlash he faced after a video of him praying for President Tinubu resurfaced online.

BREAKING: President Tinubu has approved the extension of the 700km Akwanga-Maiduguri Highway by an additional 400km, increasing the length of the strategic road corridor to 1,100km. The new extension will take the highway through Taraba State, creating stronger links between the North-Central and North-East. The highway, originally conceived as a dual carriageway linking Akwanga in Nasarawa State with Maiduguri in Borno State through Plateau, Bauchi, Gombe and Biu, will further extend the corridor into Taraba State, with the additional 400km extension. Tinubu also approved the reconstruction of major roads across the country, as disclosed by the Minister of Works, David Umahi. They include: - Reconstruction of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway with reinforced concrete pavement. - Completion of the abandoned Ibi Bridge in Taraba State. - Construction of the 5.76-kilometre Lau Bridge across the Benue River in Taraba State. - Construction of 400km dualised East-West Road running from Lokoja down to Benin.

STATEHOUSE PRESS RELEASE OUR ECONOMY IS ON STEADY GROWTH, SAYS PRESIDENT TINUBU TO DELOITTE AFRICA President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, on Wednesday in Abuja, received commendations from Deloitte Africa for the ongoing financial and fiscal reforms in the country and was encouraged to pursue a stronger partnership that supports investments, youth training, and employment. The President, who received a delegation from Deloitte Africa, led by the Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Ruwayda Redfearn, at the State House, said the reforms had steadily stabilised the economy over three years, with growing plaudits for positive development and growth indicators. “We are following the example of Deloitte’s greatness to change things from the foundation, building the necessary future for our people. “Yes, reforms are difficult. It has not been a McDonald’s customer relationship but a harvester of good things, if implemented well, and that is what we are about. “Thank you for your partnership in paying attention to what we are doing here, as we have heard from the Honourable Minister of Finance about the fiscal, revenue and tax reforms that have taken place and are moving the nation forward. “The reforms on revenue will continue to stimulate growth. And the effect of the reform? Yes, some issues are difficult to take the bitter medicine, but it is working well. For the economy, Nigeria is making serious foundational progress,’’ the President said at the meeting, which was also attended by the Minister of Finance, Taiwo Oyedele and the Chairman of the Nigerian Revenue Service, Zacch Adedeji. President Tinubu said the reforms had stimulated the economy, strengthened the fiscal and revenue sectors, repositioned financial institutions, and prepared the country to be more globally relevant and competitive. The President urged Deloitte Africa to improve its impact on the Nigerian economy by training and recruiting the dynamic youth population. “The family of Deloitte; you just reminded me of my cradle years in accountancy and where I cut my childhood accounting teeth in Chicago. Deloitte has a good training programme, and I believe you will continue to reflect that,’’ he stated. The Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Taiwo Oyedele, who spoke on the reforms and impact, urged the leadership of the accounting and business firm to focus on building capacity among the youth. The CEO of Deloitte Africa, Ruwayda Redfearn, said the global organisation is primarily focused on digital and business transformation, with over 500,000 employees worldwide working across various roles and locations, including over 6,000 in Africa. She said the accountancy firm's revenue was $74 billion in 2025. “We are before you to say that we want to serve. We have a local team on the ground that is ready, as well as the global firm, to support you and support your administration as you lead the country,’’ she said. The Chief Executive Officer of Deloitte West Africa, Yomi Olugbenro, assured the President of the firm’s support for the reforms. “We do what we do because of the philosophy that our Africa CEOs talk about – making an impact that matters. Where we are at the moment, we believe that the ground has been solidly laid. There is a need to truly extract more value and deliver the dividends of democracy to ordinary Nigerians on the street. The bigger work is really about how to cascade some of those big reforms further down. “We do believe that with the capabilities that the firm has all over the world, with the half a million people that our CEO spoke about, we have used cases, examples, experiences of how we supported nations all around the world, so Nigeria will definitely benefit from those experiences. "So that is why we are here, and we welcome the invitation that you may grant us as to where exactly you want us to support you,’’ he added.
