The Gateway Visit That Lifted The President’s Spirits

Image
By Kayode Akinmade  President Bola Tinubu's visit to Ogun State last weekend could not have come at a better time. It showed the phenomenal things going on in the state. The atmosphere within and outside Abeokuta, the state capital, was electric. The president rode around the state commissioning landmark projects, and his excitement and relief were palpable. The president had just visited Jos, Plateau State, where he had confronted gory images of terror and the agony of victims.  The President knew the pain of parents in such circumstances. He was visibly shaken, and promised to do everything humanly possible to rewrite the security narrative. And then came the rescheduled Ogun visit that lifted his spirits and showed the possibilities of visionary leadership... The mood before the President's visit was ecstatic. Across the state, billboards announced the visit, but much more so did a populace grateful to have a government working according to their dictates, opening up the st...

Easter: Senator Araraume Urges Nigerians To Embrace Sacrifice, Renewed Hope, Prays For Tinubu’s Leadership ....Says Christ’s resurrection symbolises Nigeria’s rising from challenges to glory ....Commends President Tinubu’s bold reforms, calls for continued prayers

Image
As Christians across Nigeria and the world celebrate Easter, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Ifeanyi Godwin Araraume, has called on Nigerians to embrace the virtues of sacrifice, forgiveness, and renewed hope which the resurrection of Jesus Christ symbolises. In his Easter message, which he personally signed, the former non-executive commissioner of the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) reflected on the profound significance of the season, describing Easter as a divine testament that no night lasts forever, and that after every crucifixion comes a glorious resurrection. “Easter is not merely a festival; it is a spiritual declaration that darkness does not have the final word. As Christ rose triumphantly on the third day, I believe Nigeria, too, is rising from every challenge to meet her God-ordained destiny,” Araraume stated. The APC chieftain used the occasion to offer fervent prayers for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, whom he described as a courageous...

Ogun Airport Is Built. Now The Real Work Begins

Image
For too long, infrastructure in Nigeria has been treated as an end in itself a ribbon cut, a speech delivered, a photograph taken, and then a slow drift into underutilization. That must not be the fate of Ogun State’s newly built and commissioned airport. The era of symbolic projects is over. This is the moment for execution. Airports do not thrive on asphalt and terminals alone; they thrive on traffic, on purpose, and on a coherent economic ecosystem that feeds them. If Ogun Airport is to succeed quickly and it must it requires an aggressive, disciplined, and intelligently sequenced destination marketing and economic activation strategy. The foundation is already clear: Ogun is not an empty proposition. It is a state rich in culture, industry, agriculture, history, and proximity advantage. What has been missing is orchestration the deliberate packaging and projection of these assets into a compelling, year-round destination economy. The first order of business is visibility. A bold “D...

Pipeline Contract Protest: NDDA Says Outright Balkanisation Will Only Increase Agitations In Niger Delta, Backs Existing Firms

Image
Convener of the Niger Delta Development Agenda, NDDA, Mr Iteveh Nurudeen Ekpokpobe, has strongly urged caution against the demand to balkanisation of the Niger Delta’s pipeline surveillance contract, insisting that dismantling the current structure may create more problems than it solves, warning that the stability achieved could be at risk. The warning comes amid rising tensions following protests by some Niger Delta stakeholders at the National Assembly, where demonstrators called for the decentralization of pipeline surveillance contracts currently handled by Pipeline Infrastructure Nigeria Limited (PINL), Tantita Security Services Nigeria Limited, and Maton Engineering Limited. However, Iteveh, speaking during an interview on Friday on ARISE TV, maintained that while inclusion is important, dismantling the current system is not the solution. “I am on the side of the Niger Delta and how it can be developed. The issue is not just about sharing resources, but about sustaining what is ...
