Tinubu Returns from Equatorial Guinea, Signs Pipeline Deal
President Bola Tinubu returned to Abuja on Friday evening after a three-day official visit to Equatorial Guinea. His Gulfstream jet landed at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport around 6:30 pm, marking his 22nd foreign trip since taking office 15 months ago.
He was greeted by senior government officials, including Chief of Staff Femi Gbajabiamila, Secretary to the Government of the Federation George Akume, and Federal Capital Territory Minister Nyesom Wike.
During his visit, President Tinubu and Equatorial Guinean President Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo signed an agreement on the Gulf of Guinea Pipeline Project, which will enhance cooperation on gas exploration and create job opportunities. Tinubu highlighted the agreement’s potential to promote peace, security, and economic growth in Africa. He also addressed the need for African leaders to tackle issues such as skill migration, tribalism, and outdated systems to foster development and retain talent on the continent.
The Minister of Education, Dr. Tunji Alausa, has commended the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) for its use of technology to combat fraud and improve its operations.
He praised the NYSC for the transformation it has undergone and its use of technology to improve the deployment of corps members.
He said “I would like to commend you for all the transformation that you have brought to NYSC and the use of technology to ensure seamless operations and deployment of Corps Members.”
The NYSC has continued to strengthen its use of technology as part of efforts to tackle fraud, improve its processes and enhance the deployment of corps members.
It has been reported that there was an attack on the convoy of Peter Obi in Benue State as a crowd supporting the presidential candidate ahead of the 2027 elections was reportedly attacked.
The incident reportedly resulted in more than 10 youths sustaining injuries.
The injured victims were taken to the Benue State University Teaching Hospital (BSUTH), Makurdi, for treatment. A hospital official confirmed that more than 10 wounded people were brought in for urgent medical attention.
Peter Obi has called for an investigation into the incident and accused the Special Assistant to Governor Hyacinth Alia on Youths of masterminding the attack and mobilising youths to stop the support movement.
The hospital official said: “Over 10 wounded victims were brought in here yesterday for urgent medical attention. They are being treated. I don’t know where they came from. We don’t know whether they were involved in Peter Obi’s incident yesterday or not.”
Kwara State is planning to increase livestock production in the state and create higher incomes for farmers and pastoralists.
The commissioner shared “Our ultimate objective is to move Kwara from livestock keeping to a commercially driven livestock economy capable of creating jobs, improving food security, strengthening rural livelihoods and increasing the income of farmers and pastoralists,” .
