Tinubu Says Foreign Trips Are to Bring Jobs and Growth to Nigerians
President Bola Tinubu has explained the reason behind his frequent foreign trips, saying they are all aimed at securing growth, jobs, and prosperity for Nigerians. Tinubu, who just returned from a 10-day trip covering Brazil, Japan, and a brief stop in Los Angeles, stressed that every meeting and handshake abroad is tied to opening doors of opportunity for the country.
According to him, the visit to Japan focused on strengthening relationships that would attract investments in technology, industry, and human capital development. In Brazil, discussions centered on boosting cooperation in trade, agriculture, aviation, and finance, with the goal of building stronger confidence in Nigeria’s economy.
The President said his travels are not about rhetoric but about laying the foundation for a sustainable Nigeria that will outlast the present administration. “Every agreement and partnership is with one aim, to translate into real opportunities for Nigerians,” he noted.
He added that the partnerships being built will position Nigeria for long-term reforms, ensuring a future where growth and prosperity are secured for the people.
The federal government reacted to claims stating that the new tax rules will be imposed on telecommunications and petroleum products for Nigerians.
The FG released a statement to explain the process and stated that there is no intention to place taxes on telecom and petroleum products and services.
“Those recommendations do not amount to government policy and are not binding on Nigeria. Decisions on tax matters are taken through established constitutional and legislative processes and are guided by national priorities and prevailing economic realities.”
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.”
