Tinubu Sets to Speak to the Nation on Independence Day
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is set to address the nation in a live broadcast on Tuesday, October 1, 2024, at 7 a.m.
This announcement was made by Bayo Onanuga, Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, in a recent statement.
The upcoming broadcast is a significant event, marking the 64th Independence Anniversary of Nigeria.
This occasion not only celebrates the nation’s freedom but also serves as a platform for the President to share important messages with the citizens.
All television and radio stations, along with various electronic media platforms, are encouraged to connect to the Nigerian Television Authority and the Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria’s network services to carry the broadcast.
This collaboration aims to ensure that every Nigerian can participate in this momentous occasion, fostering a sense of unity and pride in the nation’s progress and achievements.
It has been reported that Niger State and some northern states have come together and agreed to take down 979 forests in order to strengthen national security.
This was revealed by the Niger State Governor, represented by his deputy, Yakubu Garba, at the passing-out parade in Mutum Daya.
He also shared that the government will support in any way they can in order to achieve this and strengthen security in Nigeria.
“The state will make necessary arrangements to support and empower the Forest Guard families for their service to the nation. We will provide them with adequate healthcare insurance scheme.”
Nigerian news analyst, Mahmud Jega, has shared his opinion on the recent airstrike carried out by the United States in Nigeria, stating that Nigerians should not blame President Bola Tinubu for the incident.
Jega made this statement during a recent interview, where he said he does not believe many people will hold the Tinubu administration responsible, as Donald Trump had issued threats against Nigeria long before Tinubu’s administration.
“No, I don’t think many people will blame the Tinubu administration for what is happening now because President Donald Trump, when he first made the threats, it was clearly not in coordination with the Tinubu administration or the government of Nigeria,” Jega said.
It has been reported that the United States carried out an airstrike targeting ISIS in the northwest region of Nigeria. The order was reportedly given by former U.S. President Donald Trump.
“Tonight, at my direction as Commander in Chief, the United States launched a powerful and deadly strike against ISIS terrorist elements in northwest Nigeria,” Trump said.
He added, “I have previously warned these terrorists that if they did not stop the slaughtering of Christians, there would be hell to pay, and tonight, there was.”
