Today, we commissioned two major road projects, Abaranje Road in Igando-Ikotun and the newly named Babajide Sanwo-Olu Road in Dopemu. Abaranje Road used to be nearly impassable. Today, it’s a completely transformed dual carriageway with proper drainage, streetlights, and pedestrian walkways. In Dopemu, we’ve rebuilt a busy 1.8km road to meet the needs of a growing population and faster traffic flow. These roads mean quicker commutes, safer walks, better business, and real relief for residents and commuters. We also visited Ikotun Roundabout, a major traffic trouble spot. We’re planning a flyover there to finally ease the daily gridlock. We’re working…
Daniel Bwala, Special Adviser on Policy Communication to President Bola Tinubu, has said former Vice President Atiku Abubakar would have been a great president if he had won previous elections.

Elon Musk knew, long before he so strongly Endorsed me for President, that I was strongly against the EV Mandate. It is ridiculous, and was always a major part of my campaign. Electric cars are fine, but not everyone should be forced to own one. Elon may get more subsidy than any human being in history, by far, and without subsidies, Elon would probably have to close up shop and head back home to South Africa. No more Rocket launches, Satellites, or Electric Car Production, and our Country would save a FORTUNE. Perhaps we should have DOGE take a good,…
Former Iranian deputy parliament speaker on Monday criticized Russia for refusing to provide Iran with the S-400 air defense system, despite Tehran supplying drones used in the war in Ukraine. “Russia has given the S-400 air defense system to Turkey and Saudi Arabia, but does not give it to Iran, which has provided it with drone assistance in the war with Ukraine, because it might be used against Israel,” Ali Motahari wrote in a post on X. “This is what the strategic cooperation with Iran that Mr. Putin talks about looks like,” he added.
Kabul. At the border, Taliban fighters greeted the returnees with slogans of reassurance. “Come back and live in peace,” they said. Yet fear lingers.

I wanted to continue—but in Afghanistan, I don’t think I can,” she said, adding that even in Iran, some universities refused to accept her. Yadulallah Alizadeh, another deportee,…

The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, Nyesom Wike, has seized thousands of hectares of land from the University of Abuja, recovering 7000 out of the 11,000 hectares the institution had fenced off in the Giri District without proper documentation. Speaking at the commissioning of newly constructed access roads in the area, Wike accused the university of appropriating large portions of land illegally. “The University on their own grabbed 11,000 hectares. I said that will not happen. No document, nothing. You see them fencing everywhere, and before you know it, they would have gone to sell our land,” Wike…
