According to a statement from his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, the president intends to use this time for reflection on his administration’s economic reforms.
During his recent speech for Nigeria’s 64th Independence Day, Tinubu announced plans to host a 30-day National Youth Conference aimed at involving young people in governance. He emphasized the importance of empowering the youth, who make up over 60% of the population, by giving them a platform to discuss issues such as education, employment, and security. The president expressed that the modalities for the conference and the selection of delegates would be developed in consultation with youth representatives. He reiterated his commitment to listening to their aspirations and implementing the conference’s recommendations to build a more inclusive and prosperous Nigeria.
Additionally, Tinubu highlighted his administration’s determination to reform Nigeria’s political and defense systems to ensure national stability. He commended the resilience of the Nigerian people in overcoming various crises and pledged to tackle banditry and terrorism to enable displaced farmers to return to their lands and help alleviate rising food prices.
Lagos State Police react to claims of them taking money from dispatch riders on the Coastal Road in Lagos.

Former Kogi politician, Dino Melaye, faces backlash from the public after he shared a video on social media of him abroad and living well through his luxurious lifestyle.
In the same video, he speaks about Nigeria’s current economy and shares his disappointment.
He wrote, “See country, God help us to build a true nation where our wicked leaders will be in jail and the right people in power. Nigeria must be fixed. YES WE CAN.”
However, many state that what he posted and what he is saying contradict each other, and they accused him of sharing his own records to know if he was a corrupt leader.
