Lagos -Ibadan Road

The First Lady of Nigeria, Her Excellency Senator Oluremi Tinubu, formally flagged off the distribution of 250 tractors, 50 combine harvesters, and 150,000 bags of fertilizer to farmers across Niger State.

This documentary was really good. It shows how much of the investment and expansion in Lagos is driven by the government itself. Governor Jide truly deserves his flowers. I respect him a lot for the rail revolution alone,Blue Line, Red Line, and BRT, the kept systems that can generate billions yearly and keep Lagos economically strong even after he is gone. He really tried. However, as I said, his biggest drawback is the state of the environment. This road in frame 4 was built by Craneburg Construction Company in Alaro, Epe,and even by him..a well-built road with proper greenery and maintenance. He should have contracted the same landscapers to replicate this across the state,from Island to Mainland to suburbs,to match all these heavy investments. Lagos would look far better. That was what Gov Fashola did. Every morning, you would see people maintaining trees, cutting grasses, painting kerbs, and ensuring roads were smooth and shining. This is what Dr Hamzat must get right. His success will depend on strong environmental management, waste systems, and road maintenance. If not it will affect his performance, for a man that is super brilliant He needs to go out and headhunt, just like President Bola Ahmed Tinubu headhunted him back then because he wanted the best. He should bring in the right experts in landscaping, waste management, road marking, and rehabilitation so he can outperform and build on what has already been done. So it doesn’t downplay his work,because like I said one time, if he gets just these four sectors right in Lagos, we have hit the jackpot with him. When it comes to intelligence and investment, he is A1 too. @drobafemihamzat @jidesanwoolu @followlasg 📺: The Builders of Mordern Lagos Documentary

Army Graduates Drone Pilot Trainees in Sokoto By Zagazola Makama The Nigerian Army has graduated a new set of drone pilot trainees at the 8 Division Training School, Giginya Military Cantonment in Sokoto State. Security sources said the ceremony, held on May 1, was attended by senior officers, including the General Officer Commanding (GOC) 8 Division and Commander Sector 2 Joint Task Force North-West Operation Fansan Yamma, Maj.-Gen. B.P. Koughna, alongside formation commanders, commanding officers and staff officers of the division. According to the sources, the training focused on enhancing the operational capacity of personnel in the deployment of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance missions. In his remarks, the GOC emphasised the importance of force protection and operational preparedness, noting that drone technology has become a critical force multiplier in modern military operations. He said the effective use of UAVs would improve reconnaissance capabilities, optimise resource deployment and enhance overall operational efficiency. The sources added that the event was conducted successfully without any incident.

Tinubu’s signature project…Everything concrete..

Major Progress on 88km Federal Road in Jigawa State Significant work has been achieved on the Kano State Border – Birnin Kudu – Babaldu – Gwaram – Bauchi State Border Road (Lot 12), a key 88km federal route in Jigawa State.

The Renewed Hope National Media Tour for the North West zone has officially kicked off, ushering in a fresh era of governance that prioritises transparency, verifiable results, and genuine accountability to the Nigerian people. Launched in Abuja by the Presidential Communications Team in partnership with the Renewed Hope Ambassadors, the tour’s inaugural leg began with Kaduna State as its first destination. This is far more than a ceremonial visit or a high-altitude photo opportunity. It is a deliberate, on-the-ground exercise: a hands-on inspection of ongoing projects, a real-time documentation of tangible progress, and a conscious bridge between national policies and the everyday realities of citizens. The entire delegation is travelling by road in vehicles powered by Compressed Natural Gas (CNG), supplied under the Presidential CNG and Electric Vehicles Initiative in collaboration with Jet Motors. This choice is not symbolic—it is a living demonstration of Nigeria’s clean energy transition, moving from policy papers to practical action on the nation’s highways. The first major stop was the Abuja–Kaduna–Kano Highway corridor. The team drove through and thoroughly inspected the newly completed 108-kilometre stretch from Tungan-Maje in Abuja to Jere in Kaduna. A route that was once notorious for endless delays and frustration is rapidly transforming into a vibrant artery of movement, trade, and renewed economic confidence. From there, the delegation moved on to the Nnamdi Azikiwe Kaduna Western Bypass. Although the project was awarded in 2021, significant construction momentum only truly accelerated in 2023 under the leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. The dual carriageway—spanning 21.47 kilometres per lane—is engineered to ease chronic traffic congestion within Kaduna metropolis while opening up fresh economic corridors for growth and connectivity. Yet this tour is about far more than infrastructure alone. It represents a determined effort to rebuild trust between government and citizens by showing the work in progress, rather than merely talking about it. As the Renewed Hope National Media Tour continues across the various states of the North West—and eventually beyond—it will keep documenting, verifying, and presenting the unvarnished reality of Nigeria’s expanding investments in infrastructure, energy, and social development that are quietly reshaping the country’s future.

EVC/CEO @KSHalilu is leading the charge with @NASENIHQ’s Triple-Impact Energy Initiative in Kano. They’re empowering families by distributing clean, smoke-reducing cooking stoves that cut fuel costs big time, plus solar home systems that finally bring reliable electricity to homes and small businesses. Huge respect to @KSHalilu for using science and engineering to bridge the energy gap and deliver practical solutions. This is policy that truly improves lives one household at a time. Well done @KSHalilu

APC National Chairman Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda Commends Niger State’s Agricultural Drive as 2026 Farming Season Kicks Off The All Progressives Congress (APC) National Chairman, Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, on Saturday joined Niger State Governor Umaru Mohammed Bago and other stakeholders in Minna for the official flag-off of the 2026 farming season. Prof. Yilwatda described the ceremony as a major milestone in Nigeria’s ongoing efforts to achieve food security and build economic resilience through agriculture. He particularly lauded the Niger State Government’s intervention, which includes the distribution of critical farming equipment and inputs: 50 combine harvesters, 250 tractors, 1,500 ploughing and other farming implements, and 150,000 bags of fertilizer. “This bold investment speaks directly to productivity and prosperity for our people,” the APC National Chairman said. The event received further prominence with the attendance of the First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, who served as Special Guest of Honour. Her presence, according to Prof. Yilwatda, underscored the Federal Government’s commitment under the Renewed Hope Agenda to empower smallholder farmers, strengthen agricultural value chains, and make farming the cornerstone of national development. The flag-off is expected to signal the commencement of active farming activities across the state for the new season.

A very useless human being. Absolutely irresponsible and disgusting! You will surely collapse, not Nigeria because TINUBU WILL WIN LANDSLIDE IN 2027

2027, TINUBU or nothing.

Wether standard or not doesn't matter. The fact is; Buhari took a $3.4bn IMF loan, and Tinubu has now cleared it. Attempts to downplay this achievement by BAT won’t stand. It’s a win for Buhari’s legacy, a win for the Tinubu administration, and ultimately a win for Nigerians.
