At this point, we need to gather all the former ministers of Education, and send them to prison.
Federal Ministry of Education@NigEducation

FEDERAL MINISTRY OF EDUCATION PRESS RELEASE 1 April 2026 FG LAUNCHES NATIONAL DIGITAL ECONOMY RESEARCH CLUSTERS TO TURN UNIVERSITIES INTO INNOVATION AND TECHNOLOGY HUBS The Federal Government has launched the National Digital Economy Research Clusters under Project BRIDGE to reposition Nigerian universities as hubs of innovation, entrepreneurship, and global competitiveness. The Honourable Minister of Education, Dr. Maruf Tunji Alausa, stated that the initiative aligns education, research, and digital infrastructure to drive Nigeria’s transition to a knowledge-based economy. He explained that Project BRIDGE, a $2 billion investment, will deploy over 90,000 kilometres of fibre optic infrastructure to connect universities and other critical institutions nationwide. The Research Clusters will focus on six priority areas: connectivity, digital public infrastructure, digital skills, digital economy, trust and safety, and artificial intelligence. The programme is designed to ensure research produces practical outcomes such as policy solutions, innovations, and job creation. Dr. Alausa noted that the initiative complements ongoing reforms including EIBIC, the Student Venture Capital Grant, and efforts to strengthen NgREN. The Honourable Minister of Communications, Dr. Bosun Tijani, emphasised the role of research and local knowledge in driving digital transformation, supported by initiatives such as the 3MTT Programme and National AI Strategy. The Federal Government reaffirmed its commitment to leveraging digital innovation to drive economic growth and national development. Boriowo Folasade Director, Press and Public Relations

I usually overlook inaccurates like this but I feel like it is doing more harm than good to the younger generation First of all, Aburi was about a confederation and a confederal system not about regionalism. There is a difference and you should learn about it Secondly, Ojukwu rejected regionalism. At the Adhoc constitutional conference, Eastern delegates in September 1966 rejected regionalism, this was prior to the Aburi Agreement There were only two options that Ojukwu was open to; a confederal system or secession. The fact that you confuse them shows there is so much you need to read about. Even the retweets you have gotten emphasize the problem Asides this, the debate now becomes, is a 4 region confederal system/ or secessionist state good for 400 ethnic groups in post colonial Nigeria? A 4 region confederal system or secession into 4 parts would have still maintained the problems that made the 4 regions fail prior to the 1966 coup. I thought this was clearly evident. A confirmation of this, lies in the 1958 willink minority report where minorities sought states and a break up of the 4 regional arrangement. There is no way, solidifying that arrangement would have brought lasting peace. The Aburi arrangement benefited the East. I have no problems with that, however making it into this arrangement that benefited all is untrue. I also have no problem with you hating Gowon. But let every assertion be based on truth And this is the primary problem about misinformation, it is simplistic and not backed on facts Also it dishonest to absolve those who planned the Jan 15 coup, and also ironsi’s policies, and lastly the counter coupists (of which Gowon was not a participant to) and go straight to a conversation about the Aburi Accord It is imperative to note that these were cascading events. As such, it is dishonest to ignore important cascading issues It is also important to note that Aburis confederal arrangement was not a silver bullet to fix Nigerias issues since it relatively maintained the 4 geological system that was flawed and failed in the first republic I have read extensively about the Jan 15, 1966 coup, the counter coup, the Ironsi years and I am sure it will be unwise that we open up these old wounds We are in 2026, we should focus on how to get out of this mess This is not because I am afraid of discussing past history, I am very well versed in it an I am aware that everyone contributed in putting us in this situation. Nnamdi Azikiwe refused the secession clause who brought us here. It was not Gowon who told him to oppose that arrangement It was also not Gowon who told him to oppose the Kabba/Ilorin merger and seek a deal in the 1959 arrangement that the Middle Belt be in perpetuity in the North. What of opposition to a Middle Belt state by Zik in the 1958 minorities commission? Should we leave all these and focus squarely on Aburi? That’s not how history works, you do not get to choose where history should begin. It begins not in 1967, but long before that

Gowon, if you had signed the Aburi Peace Accord that you and Ojukwu agreed on for regional autonomy, so that every region could govern themselves, all these senseless killings wouldn’t be happening today. But instead of peace, you chose the path of war in 1967, and 3 million Igbo people lost their lives, then everyone was forced into this one Nigeria. God has kept you alive so you can witness what’s happening today, the people you call brothers are the ones massacring your own people in Plateau State. The East remembers!

For all these students who won 50m Naira for their startups Is there an advisory or incubator-type team that is there to guide them on how best they can deploy the 50m? Also can Minister Bosun plug them to Amazon credits too? If 10 out of the 45 startups go big, its Jobs

This is how we build Nigeria into a knowledge-based economy. By elevating our students to the status of celebrated National Laureates, we are ensuring that research and academic excellence receive the national prestige and financial reward they deserve—recognising intellectual capital as a critical driver of national development.

The news from Jos is disheartening, I don't even care about people whose voices were loud under GEJ and suddenly quiet now. Politics shouldn't make us ignore the wanton killings and loss of life. @officialABAT do your job.

The Nigerian Farmer
The Nigerian Farmer@Naija_farmers·
If you are a first-time farmer planning to dive straight into large-scale goat production, I am practically on my knees begging you to reconsider one critical decision: do not start with exotic breeds. While the desire to own the highest-quality animals and achieve impressive results right out of the gate is understandable, the reality of managing high-performance livestock is far more punishing than most novices anticipate. This advice comes from a place of pure transparency, with nothing to gain from your success or failure; the goal is simply to prevent the heartbreak that comes when ambition outpaces experience. The primary reason to avoid exotic breeds initially is the steep learning curve. These animals are often far less resilient to local climates and diseases than indigenous breeds that have adapted to the environment over centuries. For a beginner, mastering the fundamentals of animal husbandry is challenging enough without the added pressure of managing fragile health requirements. When you lack the mental preparation for these challenges, the sight of losing animals back-to-back, consecutive mortality, can be soul-crushing. Without a fortified spirit, these losses will tempt you to abandon the industry entirely before you have truly begun. Beyond the emotional toll, the financial risks are significant. Exotic breeds carry high-end price tags, meaning that every loss is a massive blow to your initial capital. Furthermore, these animals require a level of management intensity that is difficult for a newcomer to maintain. They often demand specialized nutrition, strict medical oversight, and specific environmental controls to thrive. Investing in expensive stock before you have mastered the basics of nutrition and disease prevention is a gamble that rarely pays off for a first-timer. Ultimately, starting with hardy, local stock is the smarter, more sustainable move. Local breeds allow you to "learn the ropes" with animals that can withstand minor mistakes and local environmental stressors. By protecting your investment and your peace of mind in the early stages, you build the foundation necessary to eventually scale up to more demanding breeds. Don’t let your ambition outpace your experience, master the fundamentals first, and the exotic breeds will still be there once you have the expertise to keep them alive.
