Tinubu Postpones Executive Meeting to Honor Late Army Chief Lt. Gen. Lagbaja
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, as the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, has announced the postponement of the Federal Executive Council meeting that was originally scheduled for today.
The meeting will be rescheduled for a later date, which will be communicated to the public in due course.
This decision comes as a mark of respect and tribute to the late Lt. General Taoreed Lagbaja, the Chief of Army Staff, who sadly passed away on the night of Tuesday, November 5, 2024.
General Lagbaja has been serving the nation with unwavering dedication since he was appointed Chief of Army Staff on June 19, 2023.
His sudden death has left a profound impact on the Nigerian military and the entire nation.
His leadership, commitment, and exceptional service to the country, particularly in enhancing national security, will be remembered by both his colleagues and the public.
In honour of the fallen General, President Tinubu has also directed that the national flag be flown at half-staff across the country for the next seven days.
Earlier today, President Tinubu, alongside top officials, extended his deepest condolences to the family of the late General Lagbaja, as well as to the Nigerian Armed Forces.
In the message, President Tinubu described General Lagbaja as a remarkable leader whose efforts in strengthening the nation’s military and security framework will not be forgotten.
He prayed for eternal peace for the late General, acknowledging the invaluable role he played in the advancement of Nigeria’s defence and security systems.
Nigerian politician Peter Obi speaks on the increase in the cost of living in Nigeria and shared how more Nigerians are now hungry and the hunger crisis is increasing in the country.
He stated, “Despite three years of Tinubu’s food emergency, Nigeria’s hunger ranking index declined to among the worst nations globally.”
“Yet the outcome of this has been the opposite. Nigeria’s hunger index has worsened significantly. Nigeria’s hunger index ranking was 103rd out of 123 countries surveyed in 2022/2023, and this figure has since worsened to 115th out of 123 countries surveyed in 2025/2026.”
The U.S. government has released a warning to social media influencers who will be coming to watch the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The government placed a rule on creating content to make money while using a tourist visa and stated that it could lead to deportation back to their country.
It can be noted that the World Cup will be hosted in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
“People who enter the United States under a visitor program and receive income from a U.S. source would be violating the conditions of their admission status.”
Nigerian businessman Isaac Fayose has spoken about what he considers one of the country’s biggest problems, stating that many Nigerians are worried about government taxation, insecurity, and the increasing rate of kidnappings for ransom.
He lamented the situation and criticized the government, arguing that these issues have become deeply rooted and that there appears to be no lasting solution in sight.
According to him “In Nigeria we have two governments. One is collecting tax, the other one is collecting ransom. Both of them have one thing in common which is to make life difficult for their people.
The one that is collecting tax without doing anything will come and share you rice and semolina. The one that is collecting ransom is doing giveaway on social media.”
