“I want to appreciate Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, for inviting us. It takes a lot of selflessness to invite other states to take advantage of a platform to market themselves, and I assure you I will not demarket you as I market myself. Lagos is a mega city. If you ask me, I would say it is overpopulated, and that is why it is good for other states to begin to grow. We cannot all be mega cities like Lagos, but there are things we can take from Lagos.” — Abia State Governor, Alex Otti, speaking today at Invest Lagos 3.0

Nigeria overtakes Kenya to lead Africa’s private sector boom. "Nigeria has outpaced other major African economies to record the continent's highest growth in business activity, driven by a surge in customer demand and new product rollouts." The latest S&P Global Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) reveals that Nigeria recorded Africa’s largest surge in private-sector activity. Defying severe inflationary pressures, Nigeria's PMI jumped from 52.9 to 54.1, overtaking Kenya to lead eight major economies on the continent. This remarkable four-month growth streak represents the country's strongest economic performance since April 2025.

I commend all our patriotic front-line soldiers in the fight against terrorism in all forms. You stand as a shield between innocent citizens and those who seek to destroy the peace, safety, and dignity of our communities. In the forests, on the roads, at forward operating bases, in the air, creeks, and across difficult terrains, you carry the burden of national protection so that millions of Nigerians can sleep, work, worship, farm, trade, and raise their children in hope. This fight has not been easy. It has come with pain, pressure, and sacrifice. But your courage has remained firm. Your service is acknowledged. Your sacrifice is honoured. Your country does not take you for granted. To every officer and soldier of our Armed Forces, to the Police, DSS, Civil Defence, intelligence services, local security formations, and all who work day and night to keep Nigeria safe, I say thank you. I also acknowledge the families behind the uniform. Many of you have endured long absences, anxious nights, and the emotional cost of duty. Nigeria remembers that sacrifice, too. We honour those who have paid the supreme price in defence of our country. Their names may not always trend, but their courage lives on in rescued communities, protected families, and the survival of the nation they served. The fight against terror is not only a military operation. It is a national duty. Citizens must support our security forces by providing timely, useful information. When you see something, say something. When you know something, report it. Nigeria will not surrender to fear. We will not allow terrorists, bandits, kidnappers, or violent extremists to define who we are as a people. Their violence is not our identity. Their hatred does not represent Nigerians of any faith, creed, or community. To our troops and all front-line patriots, thank you for your courage. Thank you for your vigilance. Thank you for your service. May the Almighty protect you as you protect our country. Bola Ahmed Tinubu President and Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces Federal Republic of Nigeria
