    FG conducts mapping exercise to identify out-of-school, non-literate Nigerians

    The federal government is conducting a comprehensive mapping exercise to identify those who are out of school or non-literate across the country, Minister of State for Education, Prof Suwaiba Ahmad, has said.

    The minister said that with the data, the government would be able to enroll millions into literacy programs that are relevant, inclusive, and empowering.

    Ahmad spoke at a ministerial press briefing to mark the 58th International Literacy Day with the theme: “Promoting Literacy in a Digital Era.”

    She said, “As a nation, we recognise that literacy is the foundation of development. That is why the Federal Ministry of Education, under the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, is taking bold steps to expand access to literacy for all Nigerians, especially our youth and adults aged 15 and above.

    “Right now, across the country, we are conducting a comprehensive mapping exercise to identify those who are out of school or non-literate. With this data, we will be able to enroll millions into literacy programs that are relevant, inclusive, and empowering.

    “We are also embracing the digital age. From mobile learning platforms to radio and television programs, we are using technology to reach learners wherever they are in cities, villages, IDP camps, and remote communities. We are working with partners to adapt proven models like Cuba’s “Yes, I Can” to our local context, ensuring that literacy is not just taught, but lived.

    “Our goal is clear: to achieve Sustainable Development Goal 4.6, which calls for all youth and a substantial proportion of adults to achieve literacy and numeracy by 2030. This is not just a global target; it is a national priority. And it is fully aligned with our Ministerial Strategic Plan, which places education at the heart of Nigeria’s transformation.

    “We are training facilitators, developing culturally relevant materials, and building community learning centres. But more than that, we are building hope, hope that every Nigerian, regardless of age or background, can learn, grow, and thrive.”

    The minister called on development partners, civil society organisations, traditional leaders, and the private sector to join it to achieve its goals.

    “Literacy is not just the responsibility of the government. It is a shared mission. Together, we can build a Nigeria where every citizen has the tools to succeed in a digital world,” the minister added.

    Also speaking, Ag. Executive Secretary, National Commission for Mass Literacy, Adult and Non-Formal Education (NMEC), Dr John Onimisi, said that the agency has enrolled over 27,000 youth and adult learners, aged 15 and above, into literacy and empowerment programmes in the Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC).

    He said, “These learners come from vibrant communities like Apo Mechanic Village, Karonmajigi, Lugbe, Dogongada, Apo Resettlement, Gwarinpa, Kubwa Village, Mararaba, Kurudu, and Gwagwalada. We set out with a modest goal, and we have already surpassed it. But we are not stopping here.

    “In the days ahead, we’ll be expanding this initiative to 377 Local Government Areas across all 36 states and the FCT, and through our 17 community learning centres, we are going to reach thousands more. In all, we are embracing digital tools such as radio, TV, and mobile apps to make learning more accessible, more flexible, and more relevant to people’s lives.”

    Acting Head of Sector Education at UNESCO, Oladeji Adeyemi, said that the organisation was committed to supporting the federal government’s efforts to create an education system that is not only accessible and equitable but also resilient and responsive to the needs of the 21st century.

    “On this World Literacy Day, let us reaffirm our commitment to a world where every individual, regardless of their background or location, has the opportunity to read, to learn, and to thrive in both the physical and the digital worlds,” Adeyemi added.

    FG assures equitable development, prosperity beyond party lines 

    The Federal Government has assured of equitable development and prosperity for all Nigerians irrespective of political affiliation, regional orientation, tribal or religious backgrounds.

    The Minister of Information and National Orientation, Alhaji Mohammed Idris gave the assurance when the Commissioners of Information from the states paid him a courtesy visit in Abuja.

    While noting that they belong to different political parties, the minister said that the most important thing is to ensure that Nigeria is doing great in different spheres of human endeavours.

    Idris further stated that if the commissioners of health, agriculture and other sectors could usually come together with their counterpart at the federal level and discuss on the way forward, things would go well for the country.

    “This platform has come to stay; we may not wait for the National Council on Information to brainstorm on how to make this sector better and more effective.

    “I want to thank all the governors for making it possible for you to come out in this large number to attend events and visit us here.

    “We have now reached a level where we, the people, need to understand that poverty, hunger, hospital underdevelopment, illness, roads or fuel subsidy is not for members of a particular political party alone.

    “All these have an impact on all Nigerians. Therefore,  there is a need for all of us to engage more often, to sing the Nigerian song in line with the vision of President Bola Tinubu.”

    According to him, Tinubu is for the good of every Nigerian irrespective of political party and that’s why governors from opposition parties  are always with him.

    “It is Nigerians that matter and Tinubu will continue to ensure holistic development and prosperity to all Nigerians without bias,” Idris said.

    On Town Hall Meetings, Idis explained that it has started already, adding that recently the federal government media organisations were in Enugu and Ebonyi for inspection of projects and town hall meetings.

    He said that state governments now have more funds to deliver dividends of democracy to their people.

    Speaking, the Special Adviser to Tinubu on Information and Strategy,  Mr Bayo Onanuga explained that NOA exists in all states of the federation, adding that they work for both states and federal government.

    Onanuga also urged the Commissioners to ensure that state governors release funds for communications, sensitisation and empowerment of information managers at the state level.

    Similarly, the Special Adviser to Tinubu on Media and Public Communications,  Mr Sunday Dare, said collaboration between states and federal government would enhance prosperity for all Nigerians.

    Dare urged the commissioners on the need to educate the citizens on policies and programmes of the government.

    The leader of the delegation who is the commissioner for information in Borno, Prof. Usman Tar,  explained that their platform is open for utilisation by the federal ministry of information.

    “We want you to build our capacity,  because most of us are not public relations experts.

    “We also want to appeal to you for resources and intervention to help promote Nigeria beyond party lines.”

    Tar also stressed the need to carry them alone in the organisation of town hall meetings in the different states and zones of the country.

    BREAKING: FG declares Friday public holiday for Eid-ul-Mawlid

    The Federal Government has declared Friday a public holiday to mark the 2025 Eid-ul-Mawlid, commemorating the birth of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him).

    Minister of Interior, Dr. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, made the declaration on behalf of the government in a statement issued Wednesday in Abuja by the ministry’s Permanent Secretary, Dr. Magdalene Ajani.

    Tunji-Ojo congratulated the Muslim Ummah in Nigeria and across the world on the occasion, urging reflection on the virtues of peace, love, humility, tolerance, and compassion exemplified by the Prophet.

    “These values remain essential in building a united, prosperous, and progressive nation,” he said.

    The Minister further called on Nigerians, irrespective of religious affiliation, to pray for peace, security, and stability in the country while supporting government efforts toward national harmony and sustainable development.

  • FG, TotalEnergies renew partnership as company divests Bonga North stake to Shell

    FG, TotalEnergies renew partnership as company divests Bonga North stake to Shell

    The Federal Government has reaffirmed its commitment to fostering increased crude oil production through supportive policies, incentives, and strategic partnerships with international oil companies (IOCs). 

    This reassurance came during a courtesy visit by Mr. Nicolas Terraz, President, Exploration & Production at TotalEnergies SE, to the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources (Oil), Senator Heineken Lokpobiri, in Abuja.

    During the meeting, Terraz provided updates on TotalEnergies’ ongoing and future operations in Nigeria. He confirmed the successful drilling of additional wells. He also highlighted their continued stability of production, while noting the company’s divestment of its interest in the Bonga North project to Shell.

    According to a statement by Nneamaka Okafor, SA Media and Communication to the Minister, “TotalEnergies is fully committed to supporting Nigeria’s energy goals. Our continued investment in projects like Ubeta demonstrates our long-term vision, even as we responsibly rebalance our portfolio with the divestment in Bonga North,” Terraz stated.

    Senator Lokpobiri commended TotalEnergies for being a reliable and strategic partner to Nigeria, praising the company’s commitment to both existing and new developments. 

    He emphasized the government’s readiness to support upstream investments through favourable policies and a stable operating environment.

    “Our support and incentives as a Government have continued to inspire a production trajectory that aligns with our goal of ramping up production,” the Minister said.

     “We are committed to implementing the deepwater incentives to ensure this momentum is sustained and not eroded.”

    The Minister highlighted the need for continuous investment in the sector, stressing that Nigeria cannot meet its production targets without new investments or increased drilling activities. 

    “We are absolutely in support of divestments where necessary, but it is critical that there is demonstrated capacity to manage the assets being transferred,” he added. 

    “Our expectation is that companies invest in every asset they hold, but where that is not possible, farm-outs and partnerships are welcome. We are always open to discussions aimed at building consensus and achieving shared objectives.”

    The meeting reaffirmed the strong collaboration between the Nigerian Government and IOCs in unlocking the full potential of the country’s oil resources while meeting both domestic energy needs and international obligations.

    FG secures $40million funding for digital innovative hub from JICA

    The federal government has secured 40 million dollars funding for digital innovative hub to be established in Abuja from the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). 

    The government would also support the initiative with about 20 million dollars from the Nigeria Sovereignty Wealth Investment Fund, the Director General of the National Information Technology Development Agency, NITDA, Malam Kashifu Inuwa disclosed this in Abuja on Wednesday. 

    Malam Inuwa said Nigeria was set to turn its economy around with the power of technological innovations and revolution by taking advantage of the 4th industrial revolution which revolve around digital innovations and inventions. 

    He made the remarks at the NICON Luxury Hotel, Abuja while delivering the 3rd annual Economic Confidential lecture with the theme “agenda for a digital global economy.”

    The event, which was organised by PR Nigeria, an Abuja-based media outfit, also came with an award to Director General of NITDA, and presentation of three books written by Youth Corps members serving in the organisation. 

    Malam Inuwa praised President Bola Tinubu for anchoring its Renewed Hope Agenda on digital innovations and technology to promote financial inclusion, agriculture, education, social investments, health, security and improved infrastructures amongst others. 

    Inuwa said Nigeria economy is projected to grow by 20 percent should the present administration deploy Artificial Intelligence (AI) to implement its new tax regime beginning from next year. 

    According to the Director General the deployment of AI to automate 30 percent of tax revenues would lead to 20 percent economic growth for the country. He said the economy would grow exponentially, while Nigeria’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) would peak at annual growth of 20 percent. 

    He added that with such deployment Nigeria chances of achieving one trillion dollars economy will be a reality before 2030.

    Inuwa said it had become imperative for Nigeria to be active participant in the 4th industrial revolution and use Artificial Intelligence to maximise its economic growth and development. 

    He noted, “In the 4th industrial revolution, talent is key and the survival of our products and services will depend on technology and its inclusive adoption.

    “The world population is affected by aging and it’s estimated that by 2030, the world would be plagued by 85 million digital skills deficit. Nigeria can leverage on its youthful population to produce between 1.5 million and 2 million digitally skilled citizens per year. If this is done, Nigeria can earn 50 billion dollars annually from the jobs/opportunities that would come from global digital ecosystem.”

    The NITDA boss also outlined the 8 pillars under which the agency has over years promoted digital literacy, inclusive access to digital infrastructures to connect the unconnected and strengthen cybersecurity for the country. 

    In his address, the Editor in Chief of PR Nigeria, Malam Yushau Shuaibu, said the 3rd Edition of the annual lecture was significant given the steps taken by the present administration to drive the economy with digital tools and innovations.

  • ASUU warns FG over unresolved university issues

    ASUU warns FG over unresolved university issues

    The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), Akure Zone, has expressed deep frustration with the federal government over its handling of long-standing challenges in the university system, saying its patience is running out.

    Speaking at a press conference on Monday at the Federal University, Oye-Ekiti (FUOYE), the Zonal Chairman, Prof. Adeola Egbedokun, said several critical issues remain unresolved.

    These include the re-negotiation of the 2009 ASUU-FGN Agreement, sustainable funding for public universities, unchecked establishment of new institutions, retirement benefits for academic staff, and matters relating to TISSF loans and financial obligations.

    Egbedokun noted that the report of the Alhaji Yayale Ahmed-led renegotiation team, submitted to the federal government in February 2025, has yet to be acted upon, leaving academics concerned about the future of the country’s education sector.

    He said, “For more than five long months, the government has treated the report with reckless indifference, a clear betrayal of trust as well as an insult to the principle of collective bargaining. To ignore it is to undermine the very foundation of higher education in this country.

    “While we take note of the government’s planned meeting of August 28, 2025, let it be clear: the clock is ticking, and time is no longer on the federal government’s side. Our patience has been stretched to its breaking point. Trust has been shattered, and only decisive government action can mend it.

    “The NEC has resolved that all options remain on the table. If the government chooses provocation over responsibility, if it continues to play games with the future of our Universities, then it alone must bear the consequences of the storm that will follow. The ball is squarely in the government’s court. Restore trust—now—or brace for the inevitable”, he added.

    The union leader who emphasised the need for adequate funding to revitalise the university system criticised the federal government’s decision to approve new private universities while neglecting the challenges facing existing institutions.

    He also condemned the government’s loan policy for academics, which it said was primarily designed to suffocate academics as well as undermine their cooperative societies.

    “This loan policy is nothing but a crude distraction and a sinister snare. To force academics into a cycle of debt for their survival is not only heartless. It is wicked and contemptuous of the sacrifices we make for this nation.

    “Instead of dangling loans like poisonous bait, the federal government must face its moral and contractual obligations. Pay the outstanding three and a half months of withheld salaries. Honour the agreement you signed. Respect the dignity of those who build and sustain the knowledge economy. We therefore call on our members: shun this deceitful loan scheme. Do not fall into the trap”, he said.

    Egbetokun bemoaned the poor treatment of retired academics, who are forced to live on meagre pensions, saying the plight of retired colleagues is not just shameful but a curse upon Nigeria’s conscience.

    He, however, has called on the federal government to take immediate action to address these lingering issues, warning that ASUU’s patience has worn thin and wouldn’t hesitate to take frontal actions.

    The ASUU zonal leader said the Union has resolved to allow the government a brief window to respond to its demands and has slated rallies across campuses tomorrow to signal its determination.

    “These rallies represent our first decisive response to the government’s inaction, a signal of what lies ahead if our concerns continue to be ignored”, he added. 

  • FG sets September deadline for MDAs to conclude 2024 project procurement

    FG sets September deadline for MDAs to conclude 2024 project procurement

    The Federal Government has ordered all Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs) still processing contracts under the 2024 Appropriation to complete their procurement activities by the end of September 2025.

    The directive was contained in a brief from the Director-General of the Bureau of Public Procurement (BPP), Adebowale Adedokun, to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for Wednesday’s Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting.

    According to the directive, which was presented to journalists at the State House, Abuja, after the FEC meeting, by the Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, the BPP said over 70 ministries, departments and agencies (MDAs) are yet to conclude procurement for 2024 projects, even though the budget year should have ended in December 2024. 

    While the law was extended to allow for full implementation, the bureau noted that it is now more than 20 months since passage, warning that prolonged delays could result in avoidable liabilities for government.

    The brief recommended that President Tinubu obtain a full account of all projects awarded by ministers and their ministries, with each ministry and its parastatals directed to submit lists of projects for both the 2024 and 2025 fiscal years. 

    This aligns with the Secretary to the Government of the Federation’s circular on project reporting.

    Reaffirming the administration’s Nigeria First policy, the BPP urged MDAs to give priority to locally made goods and services in project execution, provided they meet international standards and are certified by relevant government authorities. 

    The bureau, working alongside the Central Results Delivery Coordination Unit, will monitor compliance and forward reports to the Presidency for further action.

    On the 2025 budget cycle, the BPP advised that a significant share of projects be procured through open competitive bidding to stimulate job creation and reduce poverty. 

    It also recommended that the BPP Director-General be included in all bilateral loan negotiations for infrastructure projects, ensuring professional oversight of procurement decisions and cost assessments.

    The bureau further expressed concern over persistent non-compliance with the Public Procurement Act by some government-owned companies and enterprises, despite the Finance Act 2020 mandating adherence. 

    It warned that such disregard has fostered financial recklessness in certain entities and called for strict enforcement to bring all procurement activities in line with the law.

    Meanwhile, the FEC has approved the construction of modern bus terminals in each of Nigeria’s six geo-political zones at a total cost of ₦142,028,576,008.17.

    Minister of Transportation, Senator Sa’idu Ahmed Alkali, disclosed this after the FEC meeting saying the contract has been awarded to Messrs Planet Project Limited.

    The terminals will be sited in Abeokuta (South-West), Gombe (North-East), Kano (North-West), Lokoja (North-Central), Onitsha (South-East), and Ewu in Edo State (South-South).

    Senator Alkali described the project as the Federal Government’s first direct intervention in road transport infrastructure beyond road construction, noting that the locations were selected for their economic viability.

    He said the absence of purpose-built bus terminals to serve millions of Nigerian commuters had contributed to increased crime, road traffic accidents, and the proliferation of arms and ammunition along the country’s highways.

    “In spite of the significance of road transportation in Nigeria, there are no bus terminals that address the needs of millions of commuters. This has resulted in increased crime, road traffic accidents, and the spread of arms on our highways”, Alkali said.

    The minister explained that the initiative, conceived by the Ministry of Transportation, is aimed at improving road safety, enhancing passenger comfort, and stimulating economic activities. 

    He added that the proposal was brought before President Tinubu and the FEC for approval after a thorough assessment of its potential impact on national transportation and security.

  • FG partners Lagos, set to launch nationwide crackdown on unsafe buildings

    FG partners Lagos, set to launch nationwide crackdown on unsafe buildings

    ‎The Federal Government and Lagos State have joined forces to launch an unprecedented nationwide crackdown on unsafe buildings in a decisive move to halt the recurring wave of collapses that have claimed hundreds of lives in recent years.

    ‎Under the National Building Safety and Structural Integrity Initiative (NBSSII), the Federal Government will carry out a nationwide audit of existing structures, enforce uniform inspection and certification standards, and introduce real-time monitoring using e-GIS mapping technology.

    ‎The initiative will also see the inauguration of a National Building Code Advisory Committee and the activation of a ministerial task team to investigate the root causes of building failures.

    ‎Housing and Urban Development Minister, Arc. Ahmed Musa Dangiwa, disclosed the measures in a keynote address delivered at a workshop on NBSSII held in Lagos. The minister, represented by Permanent Secretary Dr. Shuaib Belgore, lamented that building collapses often result from poor designs, substandard construction materials, and weak enforcement of building regulations.

    ‎“Every building collapse is not just about the lives lost but also about the broken trust between government, professionals, and citizens. We must restore that trust by ensuring that every structure meets safety standards from design to completion,” Dangiwa stated.

    ‎The workshop, organised by Lagos State in collaboration with the Federal Ministry of Housing and Urban Development, was part of a national campaign to strengthen public awareness and technical compliance in the building sector.

    ‎Hosted by Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu at Tafawa Balewa Square, the event brought together senior government officials, regulatory agencies, industry experts, and professional associations to chart a unified path towards safer construction practices.

    ‎Governor Sanwo-Olu commended the federal-state partnership, describing it as a turning point in the fight against unsafe buildings. He highlighted Lagos’ Certified Structural Integrity Programme (CSIP) as a model for other states to adopt, noting that shared responsibility between professionals, regulators, and the public is key to sustainable safety.

    ‎“We must build for life, not for collapse. This is not just about compliance; it is about protecting our people and safeguarding our cities for generations to come,” Sanwo-Olu said.

    ‎The NBSSII’s rollout will begin with pilot audits in high-risk states before expanding nationwide. Authorities say strict penalties will follow for defaulters, while public sensitisation campaigns will ensure that citizens understand their role in demanding and maintaining structural safety.

  • FG to demolish illegal shoreline structures, SGOF warns states

    FG to demolish illegal shoreline structures, SGOF warns states

    ‎The federal government has warned that it will pull down all illegal structures and revoke unapproved allocations along Nigeria’s shoreline as part of a renewed enforcement drive to protect coastal lands from encroachment.

    ‎Surveyor General of the Federation (SGOF), Surv. Abudulganiyu Adeyemi Adebomehin issued the warning in Abuja on Tuesday while receiving the executive team of the Nigerian Institution of Surveyors (NIS) and the Association of Private Practising Surveyors of Nigeria (APPSN), Abuja branch, on a courtesy visit to his office.

    ‎Adebomehin said the directive follows President Bola Tinubu’s order for a comprehensive harmonisation of shoreline documentation and allocations, which mandates the Office of the Surveyor General of the Federation (OSGOF) to take full control of the process.

    ‎According to him, all requests for Certificates of Occupancy, permits, and survey plans along the shoreline are to be suspended pending review by OSGOF. He added that the National Inland Waterways Authority (NIWA) must collate and submit all past shoreline approvals granted to individuals or companies for proper vetting.

    ‎The SGOF cautioned that despite the presidential directive, some states are still allocating land within the shoreline without involving his office.

    ‎“The enforcement unit will demolish anything within the right-of-way. This is an executive order. The Federal Government does not want any unapproved allocation around the shoreline. Our mandate is subject to the law of the sea, and OSGOF has the right maps to determine the correct boundaries. We will ensure strict compliance,” he said.

    ‎Adebomehin explained that moving OSGOF to the Presidency was aimed at eliminating the duplication of roles by various ministries, departments, and agencies, ensuring better coordination, and enforcing a unified approach to coastal land management.

    ‎In his remarks, NIS President, Surv. Chief P.C. Eze hailed the government’s stance, describing it as a decisive move to safeguard Nigeria’s coastal resources and strengthen the surveying profession.

    ‎“This is what we have been praying for, and it is now on the ground. With NIS, APPSN, and OSGOF working together, we can achieve goals that have eluded us for years. The tripod is set, with iron protection at its base—it cannot be shaken,” he said.

    ‎NIS Secretary-General, Surv. Folakemi Odunewu presented a seven-point agenda for collaboration with OSGOF. These include the digital transformation of the NIS National Secretariat, enhanced public relations and stakeholder advocacy, review of the Survey Coordination Act, the creation of an award structure for professional excellence, renewed focus on core projects, and advocacy for establishing a Ministry of Surveying and Geoinformatics.

    ‎The meeting concluded with extensive deliberations on the proposals, with all parties pledging to strengthen enforcement, deepen professional collaboration, and protect Nigeria’s shoreline from illegal occupation and environmental degradation.
