The President, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Federal Republic of Nigeria. 🇳🇬 Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR

Nigeria
We undertook our economic reforms to build a stronger foundation for investment and give more Nigerians the opportunity to earn a better living. I welcome the World Bank Group’s work to mobilise up to $5.79 billion in private financing for Nigeria. This partnership supports our efforts to help businesses expand and attract investment into agriculture and digital infrastructure. Nigeria has gone a step further to put together a pipeline of 65 bankable projects seeking $78.5 billion in investment. Our Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Taiwo Oyedele @taiwoyedele, presented these opportunities alongside CBN Governor Olayemi Cardoso at the Nigeria Investors Forum, on the sidelines of the 2026 IMF–World Bank Annual Meetings in Bangkok. I invite Nigerian and international investors to examine these projects and engage directly with their sponsors through Projects Nigeria. Our administration will work with you to resolve obstacles and move viable investments into execution, creating jobs and expanding opportunities for our people.

When I walked into the hall yesterday and saw the young men and women of the City Boy Movement @CityBoyMedia, Relax, Tinubu Is Fixing Nigeria @RelaxTIFN, and other youth groups gathered from across our country, I saw something that reminded me why I sought the presidency of this great nation. I saw Nigeria. I saw its energy, its courage, its determination, and the future we are working to build together. Many of you have stood with me through difficult moments. You have defended your convictions, carried our message into communities, and continued to believe in the promise of a greater Nigeria. I listened to your stories with immense pride and gratitude. You reminded me once again that the greatest strength of our nation lies in its people, especially its young people. There are words I do not say often enough, and yesterday, I wanted you to hear them directly from me. Thank you. Thank you for believing. Thank you for standing with me. I remain committed to building a Nigeria worthy of your faith, your sacrifices, and your aspirations. Together, we will deliver the future you deserve.

I was delighted to welcome the leadership and members of the City Boy Movement, @CityBoyMedia, to the State House yesterday evening. Together with the Relax, Tinubu Is Fixing Nigeria @RelaxTIFN team and other youth support groups from across the country and the diaspora, we shared a warm and personal evening. Since 2022, and for three years, you have defended this administration in the markets, on campuses, in motor parks and on social media, often when it was unpopular to do so. You understood why difficult decisions had become necessary and why Nigeria could not keep borrowing to postpone them. I have seen your commitment, and I will never forget it. What the Movement has built deserves recognition. Over 4.8million verifiable members, organised across our states and local governments, reaching into wards and polling units. A contact centre speaking with young Nigerians every day. Through City Boy Care, you are supporting members in their communities. I was particularly impressed by the launch of #AskCityBoy, which uses super intelligence to help Nigerians understand what their government is doing through simple, everyday conversation. As the Speaker of the House, @Speaker_Abbas, observed, you have built a Movement prepared to answer Nigerians’ questions wherever they are. I am proud of you. I encourage every Nigerian, including our critics, to visit askcityboy.com and ask the questions that matter to you. To Relax, Tinubu Is Fixing Nigeria, your name carries a promise. I appreciate the conviction with which you have taken that message across our country. Your confidence in me carries a responsibility I take seriously. Our reforms must translate into better opportunities for Nigerians and greater security for our families. Through NELFUND, students can pursue their education with financial support. CREDICORP is expanding access to consumer credit, while 3MTT is helping Nigerians acquire skills for a changing economy. We will keep extending these opportunities. The coming election concerns the future we are building together. Get your PVC and encourage your neighbours to get theirs. Organise peacefully and lawfully. Take our record to Nigerians and make your case with conviction. To my son Seyi, who started this quietly and without asking for a title, you have only started. There is much more you can do for our people, and I expect you to keep going. To everyone who has given their time and resources to this Movement, I appreciate you. Your hope, my hope, has been renewed. Thank you. Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR President

Beyond lower fares, CNG-powered buses are offering commuters a more comfortable, convenient and efficient travel experience. With more affordable journeys and smoother mobility, passengers can save on daily transportation costs and redirect those savings towards other essential needs, improving their quality of life. Through the Presidential CNG Initiative, the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is advancing more affordable and accessible transportation options for Nigerians. #CleanMobility #AffordableTransport #RenewedHopeAgenda

Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) offers motorists an opportunity to reduce transportation costs while embracing a cleaner alternative fuel. With the potential for savings on fuel expenses and more efficient mobility, switching to CNG is a step towards a more affordable and sustainable transportation future. As we work towards a stronger and more efficient future, motorists are encouraged to explore the benefits of CNG. #CleanMobility #AffordableTransport #RenewedHopeAgenda

In Enugu State, CNG-powered buses are making a tangible difference in the daily lives of commuters, providing students, teachers, traders, business owners and other residents with a more affordable and convenient way to move around. Beyond mobility, the impact is economic and deeply human. When people spend less getting to school, work and business, they have more room to pursue opportunities, sustain livelihoods and improve their quality of life. Through the Presidential Initiative on Compressed Natural Gas and Electric Vehicles (Pi-CNG&EV), the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is advancing alternative transportation solutions designed to make commuting more accessible, support economic activity and deliver practical benefits to Nigerians under the Renewed Hope Agenda. @PiCNG_EV | @PNMbah #CleanMobility #AffordableTransport #RenewedHopeAgenda

1/3 Dear Blessing, I watched your video and listened as you explained how your journey from Masaka to Berger in the FCT now costs ₦500 instead of ₦1,500. That is ₦1,000 saved every trip. I know what that means when you have a family to feed, bills to pay and other responsibilities waiting at home. I was equally pleased to hear from Ada and Abigail, who now pay ₦1,600 instead of ₦4,000 to travel from Enugu to Nsukka, saving ₦2,400 on each journey. I also listened to Kabir, a taxi driver who explained that ₦10,000 worth of CNG allows him to make three more return trips than his colleagues using petrol. He says he has no intention of going back to petrol. I have also received encouraging feedback from Borno, where some commuters are now paying as little as ₦50 per trip on CNG and electric vehicles. Your various experiences show what our investment in CNG transportation is intended to achieve. Lower operating costs for drivers should translate into more affordable fares for passengers, leaving families with more money for their everyday needs. When we removed the petrol subsidy, I knew the decision would bring difficulties for many households. With that decision came a responsibility to provide practical alternatives that would ease transportation costs. Your stories show this is already happening, and I want more Nigerians to experience these benefits.

2/3 To Emmanuel, who asked for more buses: I heard you. I know many Nigerians are still waiting for affordable transportation to reach their communities. We are working with state governments through the Nigeria Governors’ Forum @NGFSecretariat and private investors to expand these services under the National Affordable CNG Transportation Programme. In the past few weeks, Ekiti has received 15 buses, Lagos 20, and Akwa Ibom has 50 ready for service. Katsina has introduced 30 CNG hybrid buses and 200 electric tricycles. Kano has also received 30 CNG buses and five electric buses, with another rollout scheduled for Edo. Kaduna’s 100 CNG buses have carried over three million passengers to date. Beyond the buses, more than 400 certified centres have converted over 120,000 vehicles to CNG. We are also expanding refuelling infrastructure so drivers can access CNG conveniently and more Nigerians can benefit from lower transport costs. I also recognise the pressure rising petrol prices place on families and businesses. To cushion the impact, we have waived over ₦3.3 trillion in fuel taxes and duties. NNPC Retail is foregoing its profit margin for 30 days, prioritising public transport operators, while we work towards a ₦1,350-per-litre ceiling on wholesale petrol supply costs to reduce price volatility. These measures are intended to ease the immediate burden while we continue expanding affordable transportation alternatives.

3/3 As President, I have a duty to provide relief today without compromising our children’s future. Every commitment must be sustainable and backed by a credible plan. That responsibility guides our decisions, including the difficult ones. Anyone seeking to lead Nigeria should be prepared to explain what their promises will cost, how they will deliver them, and whether they can sustain them. Promises are easy to make when the costs can be postponed, leaving Nigerians and future generations to pay the bill. Blessing, Ada, Abigail and Kabir, your stories encourage me because they show what these investments mean in the daily lives of Nigerians. Emmanuel, your request reminds me of the work still ahead. I know many more Nigerians like you are waiting for these services. Our responsibility is to keep expanding access until affordable transportation becomes a reality for more communities across our country. That is the work we will continue in collaboration with the States. Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR President @NGRPresident @NigeriaGov @PiCNG_EV

On behalf of the Government and people of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, and on my own behalf, I extend warm and fraternal congratulations to His Excellency Shri Narendra Modi @narendramodi, Prime Minister of the Republic of India, on a truly historic milestone. Today, 7 October 2026, marks 25 years since he first assumed office in 2001 as Head of Government and Chief Minister of Gujarat. His public service has continued without interruption. After more than twelve years serving the people of Gujarat, he has remained Prime Minister of the Republic of India since 2014. A quarter-century of unbroken leadership is a rare achievement in any democracy. In the world's most populous nation, it is a powerful testament to the enduring confidence the Indian people have placed in him. Across these 25 years, Prime Minister Modi has led with vision and an unwavering commitment to development. From the transformation of Gujarat to India's emergence as one of the world's largest and fastest-growing economies, his leadership in infrastructure, digital public goods, financial inclusion and innovation has lifted millions and inspired nations across the Global South. Nigeria deeply values the strategic partnership between our two great nations. I fondly recall the Prime Minister's historic State Visit to Abuja in November 2024, when Nigeria honoured him with the title of Grand Commander of the Order of the Niger. That visit gave fresh impetus to our cooperation in trade and investment, energy, defence and security, health, education, and technology. As fellow democracies and leading voices of the Global South, Nigeria and India share a common commitment to a fairer, more inclusive and more representative international order. I remain confident that, under his continued leadership, the bonds of friendship between our peoples will grow ever stronger. As Prime Minister Modi marks this remarkable anniversary, I wish him good health, continued strength and every success in the service of the people of India.

Federal Government has completed 10 radiodiagnostic centres and three cancer centres across Nigeria, marking a major expansion of healthcare infrastructure and modern medical services under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration. The 10 radiodiagnostic centres, delivered through MedSafe and the Nigeria Sovereign Investment Authority (NSIA), are equipped to improve access to modern diagnostic services while supporting quality healthcare, medical training and research. The Bauchi centre at Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University Teaching Hospital is among the facilities completed, with another in Ibadan, Oyo State, scheduled for commissioning. Coordinating Minister of Health and Social Welfare, Prof. Muhammad Ali Pate, described the development as the largest expansion of health infrastructure and equipment in Nigeria’s history, while also announcing that three cancer centres have been completed as part of the broader healthcare transformation programme. The Federal Government is also preparing to establish six major multi-specialty hospitals, with one planned for each of Nigeria’s six geopolitical zones. Together, these investments are expanding access to specialised medical services and strengthening the country’s capacity for diagnosis, treatment, training and research. The progress reflects a broader push to modernise Nigeria’s health system through upgraded infrastructure, advanced medical equipment and stronger collaboration between the Federal Government and state governments.

In my several decades of very close relationship with Dele Alake @AlakeDele, I have known him as a steady hand, a forthright, upright, loyal, and committed ally.   He is straight and unequivocal. You always know where he stands on issues.   On the occasion of his 70th birthday today, October 6, I rejoice with him, his immediate family, friends, and associates. I celebrate with him for the grace of joining the Club of Septuagenarians.    In his professional and public service life, Dele has built a reputation for hard work, excellence, and an unquenchable thirst for delivering results. At the heart of all his human endeavours is the quest for equity and social justice.   In journalism, where he devoted most of his professional working life, he excelled beyond measure as a frontline journalist and editor. He courageously used his pen to confront the ills and malaise that plagued our country.   During Nigeria's darkest hours under military rule, he was a journalist of conscience who fought on the front lines against dictatorship and abuse of human rights, and for the restoration of democratic governance.   In public service, his creative and enterprising spirit served him well as my Commissioner for Information and Strategy in Lagos State for 8 years. He redefined government information management and became a clear example of political strategy and public communication.   In unfamiliar and uncharted territories, Dele has an inexhaustible capacity to function and deliver results effectively. It is no wonder that his work as Nigeria's Minister of Solid Minerals continues to draw local and global admiration, earning the trust of his colleagues across the continent as the Chairman of the Africa Minerals Strategy Group (AMSG).   On his 70th birthday celebration, my prayer for Dele is that the Almighty grant him more years in good health as he continues his service to God, country, and humanity in general.   Happy birthday and many happy returns to my confidante, brother, and buddy.

Mr. President, Sir. On behalf of the men and women in uniform thank you Sir. Thank you for the pay increase. Thank you for the new formations in Zamfara, Kebbi, Oyo, and Osun. Thank you for the barracks and depots in Abuja, Ekiti, Ebonyi, and Kogi. Thank you for remembering that behind every soldier is a family waiting at home. You said something that many leaders never say: "Every deployment is a sacrifice made by a family too." Sir, that sentence alone tells us you understand. You understand that when a soldier leaves his home at 4 a.m., his wife wakes up to an empty bed. You understand that when a soldier falls in the bush, a mother loses a son, a child loses a father. You understand that the uniform is worn by one man, but carried by an entire family. This is what leadership looks like. Not just giving orders. Not just declaring wars. But standing behind the people who fight them. Supporting the families who wait. And investing in the future of the force. We see the new barracks. We see the new formations. We see the salary alerts. And we are grateful. But sir, we also ask for one more thing: keep going. Keep building. Keep equipping. Keep listening. Because the journey is not yet finished. And the enemy is still out there. To the Commander-in-Chief we salute you. We appreciate you. And we will continue to serve with everything we have. Nigeria will prevail. And you will not fight alone. God bless the Armed Forces of Nigeria. God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Over the past few days, servicemen and women of the Armed Forces have shared what the recent pay increase means for them and their families. I am glad it is making a difference. This week, the Nigerian Army @HQNigerianArmy operationalised new formations in Zamfara, Kebbi, Oyo and Osun. Our troops are now closer to vulnerable communities in these areas, strengthening our ability to respond swiftly and decisively when our people are threatened. We are also fast-tracking the construction of new barracks and depots in Abuja, Ekiti, Ebonyi and Kogi, with Osun already completed. As we demand more from our men and women in uniform, we must do more to support them and their families. Every deployment is a sacrifice made by a family too. As our Armed Forces stand watch over Nigeria, my duty as Commander-in-Chief is to ensure they have the resources and support to do their job, and that Nigeria stands firmly behind the families waiting for them at home.

Yesterday, Nigeria lost brave men and women of our Air Force in the service of our country. This is a painful moment for our Armed Forces and for the entire nation. Our Air Force personnel put their lives on the line every day to secure Nigeria. Their sacrifice will never be forgotten. Behind every uniform is a family. A spouse, a child, a parent, a brother or sister who expected their loved one home. Nigeria grieves with them. I have declared three days of national mourning and directed that our flags be flown at half-mast throughout the country in honour of those we have lost. The Chief of Air Staff has briefed me, and I have directed the Nigerian Air Force to immediately commence a thorough investigation into the cause of the crash to prevent future occurrences. I also commend the Nigerian Air Force for activating an immediate search and rescue operation following the accident. We honour their service. We remember their sacrifice. May the souls of our departed heroes rest in peace. Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces Federal Republic of Nigeria
