It is definitely deliberate that successful organisations are drawn to Lagos. Lagos has maintained a single, rolling development plan since 1999. How many states have this alignment where every successor is building on the last? Lagos generates the vast majority of its budget internally unlike other states relying on FAAC. So whose value are they extracting? “It’s also not by accident that insecurity is trafficked everywhere else before it get to Lagos. It is deliberate.” Lagos is literally at the edge of the sea, surrounded by Ogun state, insecurity will get there last, this is basic geography. Lagos is literally crumbling under the weight of the failure of other states, its infrastructure can’t cater to the huge population for such a small state. Yet people are so determined to make Lagos the boogeyman for failure of other states. Hold your leaders accountable!

Ignore the clowns marching on the streets harassing other Africans, there are still sensible people in SA.

World Bank List Tincan & Apapa Ports on Global Top 20 Improved Ports. The continuous improvement paradigm of the Dantsoho-led Management of the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) has received global recognition, as the World Bank, in its Container Port Performance Index (CPPI) for 2025, released in June 2026, listed Tincan Island Ports Complex and Apapa Port Complexes in the Top 20 Port Improvement category. The Container Port Performance Index (CPPI) provides a consistent, data-driven measure of global port efficiency by focusing on vessel time in port. It enables comparisons across ports and over time, helping identify where performance is improving and where challenges remain. This development is coming on the heels of the NPA's frontline contribution to the sustenance of the National Trade Surplus through its provision of the platform for Nigeria's successive attainment of trade surplus year-on-year since 2024, and most recently N7.54 trillion in the first quarter (Q1) of 2026, as reported by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS). Responding to the reports, Dr. @AbuDantsoho said "With the investor-friendliness of President @officialABAT providing the gravitas needed for increased investment to implement our port infrastructure and equipment modernization drive coupled with the unflinching support from the Honorable Minister @FMoMBENigeria, @GboyegaOyetola, we have all it takes to advance the fortunes of trade and boost the national economy". openknowledge.worldbank.org/…

The naira traded within a tight band in the official market last week, closing at ₦1,363.82/$ on June 11, a marginal weakening of ₦1.61 from ₦1,362.21/$ two weeks ago. In the parallel market, the naira weakened slightly to ₦1,400/$ from ₦1,398/$ last week, a depreciation of ₦2. The parallel market premium widened marginally to ₦36.18 (2.65%), up from ₦35.79 (2.63%) last week  but still within a stable range. External reserves climbed to $50.427 billion as of June 10,  a 17-year high  up from $50.037 billion last week, supported by sustained oil revenues, diaspora remittances, and foreign portfolio inflows. At this level, the CBN has greater capacity to defend the naira, absorb external shocks, and signal to foreign investors that Nigeria can meet its dollar obligations. The CBN also released the fourth edition of its foreign exchange manual this week, aimed at improving transparency among authorised dealers.

Princeton University’s Innovations for Successful Societies (ISS) program used to track and curate transformational leadership at the subnational level in Nigeria. 4 Nigerian transformative leaders were featured. Bola Tinubu, Donald Duke, Babatunde Fashola and Ahmed Makarfi. Donald Duke was far ahead of his time. He saw Tinapa, Obudu ranch, clean and green Calabar, and civil service reforms. Bola Ahmed Tinubu saw the Free trade zone, Eko Atlantic, Tax and institutional reforms, Judicial reforms, civil service digitization. Obi had nothing in his mind apart from saving money in his bank, and investing state funds in a family beer business. Nothing transformative up till this day can be linked to him.

Nigeria's Oil Output Hits a 15-Month High in May 2026 Nigeria pumped 1.53 million barrels per day of crude oil in May 2026, up from 1.49 million barrels in April, a 41,000 barrel per day increase month-on-month. This is the highest crude output level since July 2025 and the first time this year Nigeria has exceeded its OPEC production quota of 1.5 million barrels per day. Including condensates, total oil output reached 1.70 million barrels per day, reinforcing Nigeria's position as Africa's largest oil producer. Bonny Terminal led production at 293,870 barrels per day, followed by Forcados at 289,900 and Qua Iboe at 173,360. Upstream operations remained stable with no major pipeline breaches or facility shutdowns during the month. Higher oil output is good news for Nigeria's exports and revenue outlook. More barrels pumped means more dollars earned. With oil prices above $80 per barrel, sustaining this oil output level will provide a boost to the economy through higher growth in the oil sector, increased government revenues and exchange rate stability. Key Takeaway: •Nigeria is pumping more oil than its OPEC quota for the first time this year, which provides a boost to the economy given high oil prices.

So when are you saying “ Tinubu must go”, you must present an ideological alternative that has been tested, proven to have succeeded with evidence and also has the clout/ political capital to galvanize a consensus around his ideas to move the country forward!!!

Do you really think Peter Obi as president would have gotten the Nigeria tax act passed.? Do you think Peter Obi as president would have gotten LGA autonomy ?. Do you think Peter Obi as president would have started the process of fiscal federalism ( that is even if he is ideologically on the same page )?. Do you think Peter Obi as president would have gotten state police bill over the line ?. These bills required elite political maneuvering and clout, one that Peter struggles with. That you are President doesn’t automatically confer the skills required for governing. Worthy note is that this administration has assented to over 60 bills within 3 years.

Lagos Blue Line Expands Service to 94 Daily Trips, Starts Earlier at 6:00 AM #LAMATA #Keepinglagosmoving #lasg

We're alot on that table tbh, the realization always hits hard. Peter Obi is not 5% what we made him in 2022 and now, the people that created the psyop cant believe people are waking up

After watching this video you will thanks APC’S administration for taking a bold step to change the evil @OfficialPDPNig plants into our constitution

The fate of any region is not in the hands of the President . There is nothing a President can give to a region that its regional leaders or elite can’t do in triple folds. Blaming the President is the most lazy and convenient thing to do. There is no single problem any region is facing that cannot be solved from within.

I miss having fmr Gov @tundefashola in active public service. However, one must acknowledge the selflessness of a man who understands that others also deserve the opportunity to serve, and that no individual is omniscient. There is wisdom and humility in knowing when to step aside and allow others the chance to contribute their ideas, express their leadership, and shape the nation's future. Watching him at the platform, brings back memories of his immense contributions to our great nation. May the future be better than the past and may we be given the grace to witness it. #KemKem

Very intellectually stimulating presentation by H.E Babtunde Fashola @tundefashola @theplatformng yesterday.

One unique thing i admire about Lagos is the quality of YORUBA Leadership it brings to Govern the affairs of the state bringing more development, prosperity and growth despite being the most populated state in the entire country with over 20M people from different tribes and ethnic group who has made it in Lagos from Trade, commerce, Business of Food, technology and entertainment. In 2027, we will be going to the polls to ensure the continuation of good YORUBA leadership that will govern the affairs of Lagos either as indigene or visitors! The video highlights of Deputy Governor and Governorship aspirant @drobafemihamzat says it all towards a #GreaterLagos

NIGERIA'S MANUFACTURING REVIVAL The Real Story Behind Q1 2026's Best Industrial Numbers in Years Nigeria’s manufacturing sector grew 3.29% in Q1 2026! That is its strongest quarterly performance in four years and a 191% quarter-over-quarter (QoQ) increase from the growth rate of 1.13% recorded in the preceding quarter, Q4 2025. After years of slip down the slope, the manufacturing sector is observed to be undergoing a resurgence driven by this administration’s reforms.
