Bayo Onanuga says President Tinubu’s Official Jet Was Refurbished, Not Newly Acquired
In response to recent public speculation, the Presidential Spokesman has clarified that the official jet used by President Bola Tinubu was refurbished rather than newly acquired. This statement comes amid discussions surrounding government expenditure and transparency, with some reports suggesting that the administration had purchased a new aircraft.
The spokesman emphasized that the refurbishment was undertaken to upgrade the aircraft’s functionality, enhance safety, and extend its operational lifespan, rather than replacing it with a new jet. According to the statement, refurbishing the existing jet was a more cost-effective solution, aimed at minimizing government spending while ensuring that the president’s transport met international standards.
In conclusion, the Presidential Spokesman’s statement that President Tinubu’s jet was refurbished—not newly purchased—demonstrates the administration’s commitment to budget-conscious decisions and accountability in government spending.
It has been reported that a Nigerian won the 2026 Spelling Bee World Championship, which was held in Shanghai, China. The winner, Chinedu Great Okdediachi, has now returned home to Delta State after his victory.
It can be noted that the student had already emerged as one of the Gold Award winners in the Middle School Group category.
“Congratulations once again, Chinedu! Your success continues to inspire young Nigerians to pursue excellence through education. Welcome home, Champion!”
The young star has made Nigeria proud by winning the international competition.
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has stated that his administration’s economic reforms have helped stabilise Nigeria’s economy and placed the country on a path toward steady growth.
He said “My reforms have stabilised Nigeria’s economy and put it on a path of steady growth.”
The President added that the reforms are creating more opportunities for development across the country.
However, many Nigerians reacted online, with some questioning the impact of the reforms and saying they have yet to experience the positive effects.
Nigerian politician and FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, has said that he is aware many civil servants do not like him.
He shared that he understands why he is unpopular among some civil servants, explaining that funds previously spent on unnecessary conferences are now being redirected to road construction projects.
He said “Some people say conferences for corruption and I say what is that? You are going for conferences to do what? These are ways government funds are being diverted. I say put this money in this road here and the people will get the impact.”
