Africa's future food security will depend not only on what we grow, but on what we produce. We are pleased to announce Africa Finance Corporation's support for a US$7 billion expansion programme that will significantly increase Dangote Fertiliser's production capacity in Nigeria and establish a major new fertiliser manufacturing platform in Ethiopia. The expansion represents a major step towards strengthening agricultural productivity, reducing dependence on imported fertiliser, supporting farmers, and improving food security across the continent. At a time when population growth, climate pressures, and global supply chain disruptions continue to challenge food systems worldwide, Africa must build the industrial capacity required to support its own development. This investment is about more than fertiliser production. It is about creating the foundations for long-term agricultural resilience, economic growth, and greater self-sufficiency across Africa. Together with partners such as Africa Finance Corporation, we remain committed to building world-class industrial platforms that address critical challenges and unlock opportunities for future generations. #DangoteFertiliser #FoodSecurity #Industrialisation #AfricaFinanceCorporation #DangoteGroup

OPERATION FANSAN YAMMA: TROOPS DESTROY TERRORIST HIDEOUTS AS OFFENSIVE OPERATIONS COMMENCE IN KATSINA STATE Troops of Joint Task Force North West Operation FANSAN YAMMA (JTF NW OPFY) have commenced a deliberate offensive operation, code-named Operation CLEAN SWEEP III, targeting terrorist and bandit elements operating within Matazu Local Government Area and adjoining communities in Katsina State. The operation was launched following the unfortunate incident that led to the death of retired Major General Rabe Abubakar, who was abducted alongside his wife by suspected terrorists and bandits in the area. The operation is aimed at locating and neutralizing the perpetrators of the heinous act, dismantling criminal networks and restoring security within the affected communities. Since the commencement of the operation on 14 June 2026, troops have conducted aggressive fighting patrols, intelligence-led raids, cordon-and-search operations and clearance missions across identified criminal hideouts and suspected terrorist enclaves within the Joint Operations Area (JOA). In the course of the ongoing offensive, troops recorded notable successes in the Dikkawa Hills general area and surrounding communities. Troops conducted clearance operations on identified terrorist hideouts in Adua, Nasarawa and Karaduwa areas, where several criminal enclaves were searched and combed. During the operations, terrorists' life-support structures and logistics bases were discovered and destroyed, further degrading the criminals' ability to operate within the area. The operation is being conducted in close collaboration with sister services, other security agencies and local stakeholders whose support continues to contribute significantly to ongoing efforts aimed at improving security within the state. The Theatre Command JTF OPFY wishes to reassure the good people of Matazu Local Government Area and neighbouring communities that troops remain committed to protecting law-abiding citizens and denying terrorists and bandits freedom of action within the region. Members of the public are encouraged to continue providing credible and timely information that could assist security agencies in tracking and apprehending terrorists and criminal elements. All information received will be treated with utmost confidentiality. Troops will continue to sustain pressure on criminal elements until the operational objectives are fully achieved. Further updates will be provided as the operation progresses. ALIYU DANJA Lieutenant Colonel Media Information Officer Joint Task Force (North West) Operation FANSAN YAMMA 15 June 2026

TINUBU IS ON THE RIGHT TRACK-OTC It is fitting that RTC Advisory Services releases its Business and Economic Review for May 2026 on this Democracy Day. The report takes the form of a Comprehensive Policy Review Report on President Tinubu's third (3rd) anniversary in government. We assess the administration on seven (7) strategic pillars-Economic Policy and Structural Reforms; Infrastructure; Social Policy; Security; Foreign Policy; Anti-Corruption and Governance; and Industry, Trade and Investment. We acknowledge the government's very successful macroeconomic reforms, which we rate "Very Positive", the impressive investments in Infrastructure and we note the successes and subsisting challenges regarding social policy, security, anti-corruption and governance, and Industry, trade and investment. The government turned a critical challenge over US President Trump’s concerns over "Christian genocide" into a valuable strategic collaboration with the US. Overall we assess that the government is on the right track with a weighted score of 65.45% and an appreciable level of success. We believe government must sustain macroeconomic improvements while increasing targeted social investments and focusing policy enhancements on power, job creating sectors such as agriculture, manufacturing, construction, mining and retail trade, growing exports and increasing non-oil FDI. If President Tinubu is elected to a second term in office, these along with desirable governance reforms may be strategic priorities. Dr Opeyemi Agbaje
