President Tinubu’s NELFUND: Giving Every Student a Chance

-

President Tinubu’s NELFUND: Giving Every Student a Chance “How a son of nobody and who knows nobody can access the loan freely.” Education is the foundation of progress, yet for many Nigerian students, financial barriers have been a roadblock to achieving their dreams. Recognising this, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu launched the Nigeria Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) — a visionary initiative designed to ensure that no student is left behind because of financial constraints . The heart of NELFUND is simple: it levels the playing field. Whether you come from a well-connected family or from humble beginnings, the fund is built to make sure that every Nigerian student has access to education loans without discrimination, delays, or unnecessary bureaucracy. This is why the slogan resonates so strongly: “How a son of nobody and who knows nobody can access the loan freely.” It speaks directly to millions of young Nigerians who have talent, ambition, and drive—but lack the financial su...

President Tinubu’s Bold Economic Reforms: Two Years of Progress and Renewed Hope

-
Image
When President Bola Ahmed Tinubu assumed office, he inherited an economy weighed down by heavy subsidies, low oil production, dwindling reserves, and widespread investor distrust. Many believed the challenges were insurmountable. Yet, just two years into his administration, the economic indicators tell a powerful story of resilience, tough choices, and steady progress. The reforms have not been without pain, but they reflect a deliberate strategy: dismantling old structures that held Nigeria back and laying a foundation for lasting prosperity. From Deficit to Surplus: Reversing Nigeria’s Trade Balance In Q1 2023, Nigeria recorded a ₦20 billion trade deficit . Two years later, the country now boasts a ₦5.7 trillion surplus . This dramatic turnaround reflects improved oil exports, reduced importation of refined products, and stronger non-oil contributions. This surplus is more than a statistic — it shows Nigeria is regaining control of its economy and reducing reliance on foreign de...

The FCT Minister–Soldier Standoff: A Test of Civil Authority and the Rule of Law

-
Image
On November 11, 2025, Nigerians watched in disbelief as a video surfaced showing a tense confrontation between the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, and a group of armed soldiers who blocked his convoy from accessing a disputed piece of land in Gaduwa, Abuja. The incident, brief but dramatic, was more than a moment of political theatre. It struck at the heart of a much bigger issue — the place of the military in a democracy, and the sanctity of civilian authority under the Nigerian Constitution. The Legal Position: Who Was Right? The Minister’s Authority Under Section 302 of the 1999 Constitution and the FCT Act , the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory exercises the executive powers of the President within Abuja. That means the Minister is not just a political appointee — he represents federal executive authority . His duties include overseeing land allocation, urban planning, and the enforcement of development control through the Federal Capital T...

Nigeria: On the Right of Self-Defence and Protection of National Sovereignty

-
Image
The Federal Republic of Nigeria reaffirms its unwavering commitment to the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations, in particular the maintenance of international peace and security, the respect for the sovereignty and political independence of all States, and the peaceful settlement of disputes. Nigeria is a sovereign and independent nation. Our Constitution vests sovereignty in the people of Nigeria and mandates the Government to protect the territorial integrity and independence of our country. This sovereignty—recognised under international law and reaffirmed by our membership in the United Nations, the African Union, and the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS)—is inviolable. The Government of Nigeria has observed with grave concern recent statements and actions that amount to a threat of aggression and possible violation of our territorial integrity. We remind all States that any such threat or use of force contravenes Article 2(4) of the Ch...

Kebbi’s 3 a.m. Withdrawal Shows Why President Tinubu’s Security Reforms Can’t Wait

-
Image
When Governor Nasir Idris of Kebbi State revealed that security personnel deployed to vulnerable communities were withdrawn at 3:00 a.m.—just 45 minutes before an attack—Nigerians reacted with shock, anger, and a single question that refuses to disappear: Who gave the withdrawal order? It is a fair question. It is also one that may take time, investigation, and institutional honesty to answer. But the Kebbi incident exposes a deeper truth about security management in Nigeria: our command structure is too fragmented for a country battling multi-layered threats. And this, more than anything, validates President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s push for a centralised, technology-driven, and accountable security coordination model. Nigeria’s security agencies—military, police, DSS, civil defence, intelligence units—operate in parallel lanes with overlapping mandates. State governors, despite bearing the title “Chief Security Officer,” have no legal authority over federal forces. This incoheren...
