HON ABIKE DABIRI, A FAILURE TO NIGERIANS IN DIASPORA

HON ABIKE DABIRI, A FAILURE TO NIGERIANS IN DIASPORA

Hello my fellow Nigerians in Diaspora, my name is Faduri Oluwadare Joseph aka Fadojoe, the convener of Nigerians in Diaspora Association

It is so sad that I am going to be making this video, directing it to Hon Abike Dabiri, the Honourable Ambassador for Nigerians in diaspora, who supposed to be representing Nigerians in diaspora. But for over a decade that she has been in this position, there is little or nothing to show for being Nigerian Ambassador of NIDO or NIDCOM as the case may be. NIDO is Nigerians in Diaspora Organization and NIDCOM is Nigerians in Diaspora Commission as established by the then President Olusegun Obasanjo, brought down to President Buhari and now to President Tinubu.

Since the creation of the commission, we have not felt the impact, so they failed us. Nigerians in diaspora find themselves helpless when they need their government intervention in any issue.

When Americans say God bless America, they don’t just say it for saying sake: they feel the impact of their country anywhere they are in the world. If an American needs the intervention of the government anywhere in the world, the country swiftly come to their aid and go all out to fight for their citizens: either abuse, hostage or whatever.

But what is the case when it comes to Nigerians? Either in London, Germany, Lybia and other part of the world, Nigerians are going through many things, some in horrible condition. When they are asked to go to Nigeria Embassy, they go there and nothing will come out of it. When I tell them we have an Ambassador through Nigerians in Diaspora Commission, Hon Abike Dabiri, many of them don’t even know we have an Ambassador to Nigerians in diaspora. In America alone we have over five million Nigerians, I don’t even know if up to 500 of them are aware of Hon Abike Dabiri’s duties and roles to them. Therefore, when Nigerians have problems they don’t know who to call or where to go. That is how bad it is.

And the worst part of it is that she has the audacity to go online to malign and talk badly of Nigerians in diaspora (talking bad of them), yet these are the people she is supposed to be representing and speaking for. She is supposed to be taking the issues of the problems faced by Nigerians in diaspora home to discuss with the government and ask for ways the government can stand for them or advise that enabling environment be created for them to be able to come back home and to invest more in their country.

Why will Nigerians even be so scattered in different countries of the world if our own country is working as it supposed to be? In fact, if not for the constant support coming from Nigerians in diaspora to those at home, may be Nigerians would have been devouring their fellow Nigerians by now. This is a country I use to say, we have everything, but lack everything. We have everything to be one of the best nations in the world, but part of the worst with continuously dwindling economy.

Recently, America president slahed Nigeria with 10% tarif. What does this mean? It simply means Nigerians in diaspora will not pay more for food items viz gari, beans, rice and any food coming from Nigeria to America. But Nigeria government has said absolutely nothing about it, while other countries are slamming America back with tarif too. China gave 24%. Canada gave their own. Leaders of many nations are talking. But my country is so quiet about it. Does mean when he nothing to slam with tarif too? The Ambassador of Nigerians in Diaspora Commission, Hon Abike Dabiri is quiet. Nigerians in America that deal on selling food items from Nigeria now have to pay high tarif and nobody to fight for them.

I’ve met so many Nigerians in different parts of the world, when so of them tell me their story, it breaks my heart. These are Nigerians who are having issues outside the country and they don’t even know who to call. No Abike Dabiri to fight for them. In fact, one will ask where is Abike Dabiri’s office in America or in London or in Canada or in any part of the world? Her duties is not just to be bringing people together to organize symposium

I hereby seize this opportunity to call on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to turn his bream light on the activities of Hon Abike Dabiri as it has to do with, Nigerians in Diaspora Commission.

We have a kindhearted woman, who brought other Nigerians foreign investors together to invested over $250 million into real estate in Nigeria only for the Honourable Minister of Work in Nigeria to destroy their investment. The investors reached out to Hon Abike Dabiri, till now, no response from her.

I met another woman in Chicago who said 50 acres of land was taken from her illegally and she has nobody to call. While people from other parts of the world have their government representatives fighting for them, but as for Nigerians, nobody is fighting for us. Rather Abike Dabiri said Nigerians in Diaspora are suffered financially, yet these are people bringing over 24 billion annually into Nigeria, in terms of different kinds of support for their family, including but not limited to support to feed their families in Nigeria. The families that the government of Nigeria’s economical failure would have subjected to untold hardship if not for the support from the diaspora.

Nigerians are hardworking people all across the world, but for Hon Abike Dabiri to tag them suffering Nigerians, is a total shame. And she owes Nigerians in diaspora apology for saying so. Because if the government had created enabling environment for businesses to thrive, Nigerians wouldn’t have been searching for greener pastures in different countries of the world.

But one thing that is certain is that Nigeria will rise again and we will have a great nation again that those who ran out of the country will return to their country. There was a time we were hearing “Ghana Must Go!” But are we still having Ghanaians scattered all over Nigeria and other countries like before again? No! They have gone back to their nation because their nation is now better than the Nigeria they were running to then. So some day, Nigeria will be better again and millions of Nigeria ready to return if there can be new Nigeria will gladly return to their country.

We are going to organize Nigerians In Diaspora Movement that will be help Nigerians in diaspora, bringing us together to support one another through the power of unity. Thank you.

I remain sincerely yours, Faduri Oluwadare Joseph aka Fadojoe,
Convener of Nigerians in Diaspora Association,
Leader of Rescue Movement for New Nigeria and
Former Presidential Aspirant under Labour Party.

Tell your people to Stop Banditry,Kidnappings and Herdsmen violence, Shehu Sani tells Fulani Group

Shehu Sani to Fulani Group,Tell Your People to Stop Banditry,Kidnappings, Herdsmen Violence

… Donates N1m Naira for procurement of Educational Activities

Former Lawmaker,who represented Kaduna Senatorial District, Senator Shehu Sani has urged the group of fulanis,Fulbe Educational Development Association that visited that visited him at his Kaduna residence to tell their people to stop banditry, kidnappings and herdsmen violence in the North and other parts of the country.

Shehu Sani,President of the Civil Rights Congress of Nigeria, (CRCN) and leading figure in the struggle for the restoration of democracy in Nigeria, overtly expressed dismay over the tarnished image of the Fulanis over issues of banditry and kidnappings .

“It is unfortunate that most of the Bandits and kidnappers in the North are basically fulanis and that’s the truth you know, but may not like.”he lamented.

Shehu Sani who stated this during the visit by Fulani Group, said its high time, something is done immediately to redeem image of the Fulani ethnic group now because,”The activities of Bandits have destroyed the lives and reputations of even the fulani people.

While urging the group to commence image minding activities to redeem the tarnished image of the ordinary and good fulanis across the country, he stressed,”You have a moral and patriotic duty to tell your people in your own language to stop the criminality of kidnappings and banditry.

“For centuries,Fulanis have been known to be peaceful and accommodating people…why should you allow your ethnic group become a brand for violence?

Speaking further the said He explained: “Today the fulanis that have become a complete nuisance as herdsmen, bandits and as terrorists,it couldn’t have happened .
“The people we failed to educate three to four decades ago ,have today constituted the major problem for the northwest, northern power of Nigeria and for most part of the country in terms of security matters.

“The North is a victim of its own leaders who failed to educate the nomads in our hinterland that today constitute a problem to the security and peace of the country”

“We failed to give them books and pens and now they are chasing us with Guns.

” The Babangida’s nomadic education program was a visionary idea nurtured by the then minister of education professor Jibril Aminu,a fulani man like you and the commission was deliberately starved of funds and left to die.

“Livestock is a multi billion Naira business.The nation must find a way to harness it. The recent establishment of the federal ministry of livestock is a step in the right direction.

“Most of the leading bandits in Niger state; Zamfara State , Kaduna State have never hidden their identity as fulanis.They killed imams; pastors, Muslims and Christians they even kill leaders of Miyetti Allah.

“Unfortunately,the attack that happened in School of Agric. mechanisation the families paid over 300 million naira;the attack that happened in Bethel Baptist School,the families paid over 250 million naira and the attack that happened in Green Field University,the families paid over 400 million naira as ransom

“Think of the ransom that was paid for Federal Government College ,Yawuri, Government Science College,Kagara, Girls Schools in Jangibe and kankara ,think of all those ransom.

“If you put it together in bulk, it’s in billions Fulanis have collecting billions as ransom but, you can’t see one Fulani man in the whole of this Kaduna with one million naira ,so what takes the money .

“If you are involved in extortion you ought to have been seen the fulanis with wealth,cars businesses and other assets,but none .Today the fulanis are poorer than before the era of banditry.

“Before Fulanis took to banditry you will see a fulani with over a thousand vows .Now however many fulanis have cows, few. So, it means that there is a possibility that the your people ,the fulanis are used as foot soldiers by some forces that are unknown.

“All the bandits when they are arrested you see wretched look ,they don’t even have clothes to wear food to eat .No homes .”
Earlier in his speech, the group leader of the Fulani group, Hassan Lamido thanked Shehu Sani for the warm reception accorded during the Sallah homage and solicited support of funds to procure educational materials for onward distribution to young fulani children in Giwa and Birnin -Gwari local government areas of Kaduna State.

Lamido,who disclosed why the group was established,said the campaign to Create awareness for the “Back to School” amongst the Fulanis was informed by the relative peace achieved and importance of education for development.

Shehu Sani however,donated one million Naira as support for immediate procurement of the educational materials requested.

ABURE SACK A RELIEF FOR NIGERIANS, NOT JUST LABOUR PARTY

ABURE SACK A RELIEF FOR NIGERIANS, NOT JUST LABOUR PARTY

No doubt, former chairman of Labour Party (LP), Barr. Julius Abure was a total disaster to not just LP as a party but to Nigeria as a whole, for his disservice to LP, amongst which led the party to lose 2023 general elections, which we should have won.

Nigeria put their hope in LP in 2023 because they for see what we are going through today in our country and never wanted what we are experiencing now to happen to Nigeria, but because of Mr. Abure’s greed, high level of corruption, illegality, and blatant abuse of law, the LP turned to a laughing stuck among good people of Nigeria who put their hope in our great party.

It’s of note that we revived Labour party in 2022 to position it to win general elections in 2023 so as to turn our country back from the wrong way APC as a party has been driving the nation. So we can make a real change not the type of corrupt hope APC called renewed hope; which today Nigerians can see as renewed hunger, renewed insecurity, renewed corruption, renewed incompetence, renewed oppression, renewed dictatorship, renewed greed and renewed poverty in the land. Nigerian people are now impoverished worse than they APC met Nigerian.

Abure’s greed started immediately from the day of the presidential primary in Asaba where the Abure led exco started selling the tickets of the party not just for competent members but for highest bidders, throwing out the windows of decency, competency, compassion, and patriotism. He (Abure) turned the party to money-making body instead of quality leader making organization that will drive the ship of our nation to success. Thus, the party broke into pieces, and the center could not hold from 2023 to date.

Every effort to reposition the party failed. Many great leaders of the party were suspended to suit Abure’s greed. And the illegalities went on uncautioned and uncontrollably bad. But today, the law of the land has caught up with him.

We can not also blame Abure alone in isolation without Mr Peter Obi sharing in this blame who saw Abure’s illegality, abuse of law, abuse of power, greed, corruption and looked away from a man who claimed to be upright and wants to make a change and rid Nigeria of corruption, greed and illegality but saw one under his watch and looked away.

My Advice to my fellow leaders and members of Labour Party now is for all of us to come together and let’s start the process of regrouping and repositioning of our party towards 2027 for a New Nigeria we all desire and a Nigeria we desire void of tribalism, favoritism, ethnicity and, incompetence.

Our nation supposed to be the envy of the world, but it’s no longer one: our country currency is on a free fall with no value around the world, our economy is in shackles with high level of corruption and no good government policies to address many problems facing Nigerian people. There is assault to Democracy in our nation with assault on freedom of speech, freedom of association, freedom to speak as opposition; which are all element of a democratic nation.

Many of our youths are rendered useless in a nation that is supposed to harness the potential of the youths as a workforce in the nation. Our educational system is a mirage. Our security is a joke, and poverty ravages the land.

Therefore, we must come together as a party for Nigerians to have hope again that hope is ahead and help is ahead for this country. We must come together and put behind us all the crisis Abure brought to the party and form one big umbrella that will rescue Nigeria from this mess we find ourselves today, as i say all the time, “A nation that has everything but lacks everything”.
We can do it we can make a change in our nation, we can deliver the people.

YES WE CAN

May God bless our Party Labour Party and may God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria

Boya is a Leader who delivers beyond limitations for the future of Adamawa’s masses -Calvin

Boya is a Leader who delivers beyond limitations for the future of Adamawa’s masses -Calvin

By:Calvin Anadio Lawan.

Hon. Barrister Aliyu Wakili Boya is a young, dynamic, and result-oriented politician, currently serving as the Member representing Fufore/Song Federal Constituency in the National Assembly and Chairman, House Committee on Police Institutions.

A seasoned public administrator with over 20 years of experience in governance, legal practice, and public service, he has proven himself as a visionary leader committed to the socio-economic development of his constituency and Nigeria at large.

Born in Fufore Local Government Area, Adamawa State, Hon. Boya’s upbringing in a well-educated family, versed in both Islamic and Western education, shaped his strong moral compass and leadership acumen. His journey through various political and administrative positions has been marked by integrity, empathy, and an unwavering commitment to service.

His youthful leadership advantage means being a relatively young politician, He will bring energy, fresh ideas, and a modern approach to governance. Such leadership resonates with young people of Adamawa State, bridging the generational gap and ensuring progressive policies for future generations.

Understanding that economic empowerment is key to poverty alleviation, Hon. Boya prioritizes interventions that put money directly into the hands of his constituents. His strategic allocation of resources through scholarships, business start-up funds, and employment facilitation has significantly boosted local economic activities.

Unlike many politicians who operate from a distance, Hon. Boya remains deeply connected to his people. His policy of returning to his constituency every three months to assess progress and provide direct interventions ensures transparency and accountability.

Sponsoring key bills, including the establishment of Federal College of Health Technology, Song LGA, and Federal College of Education (Technical), Fufore LGA to enhance educational opportunities as well as employment opportunities is something only visionary leaders do and Hon. Boya shows he’s a good leader.

Facilitating the allocation of ₦20 billion for the rehabilitation of Jabbi Lamba – Malabu – Belel road, improving infrastructure and trade, as well as playing a pivotal role in Police Service reform as Chairman of the House Committee on Police Institutions stands him out as a leader with the future of his people at heart.

Distributed ₦30 million to 60 entrepreneurs, giving each ₦500,000 as start-up capital, as well as providing farming inputs, fertilizers, and irrigation equipment to over 1,800 farmers.

Facilitated the installation of over 3,000 solar-powered streetlights and 30 electricity transformers to improve security and economic activities, at the same time ensuring the training and empowerment of over 350 women and youths in entrepreneurship, ensuring financial independence.

Provided scholarships to over 2,000 tertiary students to ease the burden of education, and facilitated the employment of 136 youths into the Nigeria Police Force and three others into federal civil service. He also sponsored free eye surgeries for over 2,000 people, demonstrating his commitment to healthcare access.

With such unparalleled achievements without executive powers or a budget, this makes Hon. Boya’s accomplishments even more remarkable in that he has achieved all of these without executive powers or direct control over a budget. His ability to mobilize resources, influence policies, and facilitate life-changing programs purely through legislative influence, strategic partnerships, and personal commitment is a testament to his extraordinary leadership capacity.

Ponder this with me, imagine what he could accomplish with Executive powers and a budget? I mean if Hon. Boya could achieve so much as a legislator, one can only imagine the transformative impact he would have if given executive powers and a substantial budget. With direct control over government resources, he would be positioned to expand his economic empowerment programs, revolutionize infrastructure development, enhance education and healthcare services, and implement large-scale poverty alleviation initiatives through targeted agriculture revolution.

Though Hon. Boya has not declared any intention to vie for governor, his leadership track record makes it clear that he is one of the outstanding leaders from Adamawa Central who have the capacity to deliver good governance at the highest level. His deep understanding of governance, commitment to economic growth, and practical approach to leadership set him apart as a transformational leader capable of driving sustainable development in Adamawa State.

Hon. Barr. Aliyu Wakili Boya stands out as a leader of integrity, competence, and action. His ability to deliver tangible results without executive authority or a budget proves that he is not just another politician but a visionary problem-solver and a true servant of the people. Given greater responsibility, his leadership has the potential to redefine governance, uplift millions from poverty, and set a new standard for impactful leadership in Nigeria.

Building a Sustainable Future: A Strategic Pathway to Innovation and Development through Sustainable Solutions via Renewable Energy, By Dr. Mustapha Abdullahi, FNSE, CEng, MIMechE

Building a Sustainable Future: A Strategic Pathway to Innovation and Development through Sustainable Solutions via Renewable Energy, By Dr. Mustapha Abdullahi, FNSE, CEng, MIMechE

In an era where technological innovation shapes the destiny of nations, Nigeria stands at a crossroads. With pressing challenges in infrastructure, economic stagnation, security threats, unemployment, overstretched education sector and energy security threats, the urgency for transformative solutions has never been greater. Fortunately, the world has offered a roadmap—developed nations have harnessed technology, particularly a sustainable solutions through Renewable Energy Technologies to meet the global energy demand and drive unparalleled progress.

For Nigeria, embracing this solution is not an option but a necessity if we are to leapfrog development hurdles and secure a prosperous energy future.

One of the most crucial areas where technology can drive impact is infrastructure. Countries like Germany and China have built efficient, sustainable urban systems powered by renewable energy. Smart grids, solar-powered street lighting, and energy-efficient transportation networks have not only improved connectivity but also reduced costs. Nigeria can replicate this by investing in decentralized solar energy solutions to power rural communities, reducing reliance on a single grid. Imagine a Nigeria where every major road is well-lit by solar-powered LED lights, where government buildings and industrial parks run on hybrid renewable energy sources—such a reality is within reach with the right policies and investments.

Through the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, a clear roadmap to achieving a sustainable future in the Country has been demonstrated. Practical steps have been taken to implement this agenda like the development of the first Gazetted National Energy Policy and its implementation plan. These strategic initiatives have shown a clear roadmap for sustainable energy solutions. Other Government initiatives include localisation and domestication of renewable energy solutions in the country, setting up industries and factories for the local production of renewable energy products like Solar PV panels and Batteries leveraging on the country’s rich natural resources and raw materials. The ECN is currently developing a large scale Solar PV module assembling plants, a modular Green Hydrogen plant and a Bio-Methanol plant. These projects will provide more access to energy, reduce the cost of energy and guarantee energy security in the country.

Economically, renewable energy is a game-changer. This, I have always maintained. Nations like Sweden and Denmark have successfully built thriving green economies by integrating solar, wind, and hydro energy into their industrial frameworks. Nigeria, blessed with abundant sunlight and vast water bodies, has already began to tap into these resources to create jobs, reduce energy costs, and attract foreign direct investment. Take Morocco’s Noor Ouarzazate Solar Complex, the world’s largest concentrated solar farm—it has not only provided energy security but has also created thousands of jobs. Nigeria’s potential to replicate such feats is immense, specifically in the northern region, where solar intensity is at its peak.

Security and job creation are two intertwined issues that technology can help resolve. In countries like Israel and the United States, renewable energy is made to power the security systems, from AI-driven surveillance to drone technology for border control. Nigeria can adopt similar measures by integrating solar-powered security cameras in high-risk zones and using tech-driven agricultural solutions to create jobs and reduce youth unemployment which is one of the major causes of insecurity. With over 60% of Nigeria’s population being under 25, training programs in sustainable solutions like solar panel technology, smart agriculture, and energy management can create employment opportunities, while simultaneously addressing our power deficit issues.

Education and general development also stand to benefit from this technology-driven approach. Countries like Finland and South Korea have transformed their education systems through digital tools and smart classrooms powered by renewable energy. Imagine a Nigeria where every rural school has uninterrupted electricity from solar microgrids, where students in remote areas have access to digital learning platforms. This is achievable with strategic partnerships between the government, private sector, and international organizations.

As the Director-General of the Energy Commission of Nigeria (ECN), one of the major player in the energy sector, I am pleased with the innovative policies, strategic partnerships and intentional financing made available by Mr President, H. E. Bola Ahmed Tinubu, under the auspices of the “Renewed Hope Administration.” The inclination and efforts of Mr. President through the Ministry of Innovation, Science and Technology, where the Honourable Minister, Chief Uche Nnaji, holds sway, signal hope, and stand commendable.

At this juncture, it is pertinent to announce a very critical project initiated by the Federal Government towards improving the energy supply and demand gaps through renewable energy sources. The Federal Government has recently appropriated funds for ‘Solarisation of critical infrastructure across the country’ to the ECN. This project will be fully implemented by the ECN. Critical Infrastructures like Universities, teaching hospitals and other public institutions will benefit from this solarisation initiative. Specially, upto to 2 megawatt solar hybrid mini grid of power will be installed in every federal government institutions and hospitals across the country (36 states including FCT). The Energy Commission of Nigeria has began energy audit across the universities and medical institutions to determine the energy needs of the institutions. This project is aimed to be completed before the year ends.

By investing in renewable energy technologies and smart technology solutions, Nigeria can accelerate its development trajectory, ensuring a future that is not just sustainable but also prosperous for generations to come.

Exposing the Smear Campaign Against KADIRS, Jerry Adams, and Governor Uba Sani

Exposing the Smear Campaign Against KADIRS, Jerry Adams, and Governor Uba Sani

(By Comrade Musa Garba Chikaji)

It is becoming increasingly clear that the so-called Kaduna Accountability Group is nothing but a front for former Governor Nasir El-Rufai and his cronies, whose main agenda is to discredit the administration of Governor Uba Sani with baseless propaganda. Their latest attack, published under the guise of a ‘sponsored exposé,’ is nothing but a desperate attempt to distort facts and mislead the public about the operations of the Kaduna State Internal Revenue Service (KADIRS) and its Executive Chairman, Jerry Adams.

First, let’s set the record straight: Jerry Adams did not concoct figures or make grandiose claims about Kaduna’s Internally Generated Revenue (IGR). He simply presented facts and figures to counter misleading allegations spearheaded by the El-Rufai-led smear campaign. Rather than engage in a factual discourse, this so-called accountability group resorted to blackmail, outright lies, and a deliberate misinterpretation of the Codification Laws governing KADIRS.

Misrepresentation of the Codification Laws

The group falsely claims that Jerry Adams lacks the qualifications to hold the position of Executive Chairman of KADIRS, deliberately misquoting Section 13B of the Kaduna State Codification Law. The law clearly states that a chairman must possess cognate experience in fields such as social sciences, management, accounting, taxation, etc. Adams not only meets this criterion but exceeds it. If the group truly doubts his professional qualifications, they should formally reach out to the relevant professional bodies for verification rather than peddling lies.

The IGR Debate: Facts vs Fiction

Jerry Adams served as the Executive Director of Corporate Services in KADIRS for three years, overseeing the revenue accounting unit of the agency. His knowledge of Kaduna’s IGR from 2015 to date is not speculative; it is backed by direct oversight and operational experience. The reality is that much of the IGR recorded during El-Rufai’s administration was due to one-off transactions such as back-duty audits and sales of government properties. These temporary revenue sources inflated figures and created a false impression of sustainable growth.

Furthermore, before the Consolidation and Codification Laws of 2016, revenue collection and accounting were scattered across various MDAs, meaning each agency recorded its own figures separately. The claim by this so-called group that Governor Sani inherited a revenue system with a huge lift is, therefore, nothing more than a fiction of their imagination.

The Lies About KADIRS Assets

Yes, the current corporate headquarters of KADIRS was acquired under El-Rufai’s administration, but that is just one of 33 offices operated by KADIRS across the state. The vehicles procured under El-Rufai’s tenure account for only 20% of the total fleet currently in use. These are verifiable facts, and anyone in doubt can physically visit these offices and confirm for themselves.

False Claims About Grants and IGR

The claim that KADIRS records federal grants as IGR is not only baseless but a reflection of the intellectual dishonesty of the group. If they had any evidence to substantiate this, they would have presented it. Instead, they rely on blanket statements and innuendos, hoping that mere repetition will make their falsehoods credible.

A Call for Focus and Continuity

The current IGR figures under Governor Uba Sani’s administration are organic, driven by ongoing reforms within KADIRS. Unlike the El-Rufai years, where one-off revenue sources created a misleading picture of sustainability, the current administration is working on lasting improvements.

I urge Governor Uba Sani, KADIRS, and Jerry Adams to remain focused and undistracted by the antics of these paid propagandists. The people of Kaduna deserve factual, issue-based discussions—not poorly scripted lies masquerading as accountability.

This transition signifies his commitment to serving the nation in a new capacity, leveraging his extensive experience in the military to contribute to the accelerated development of Oyo State.

As Muslims across the country gather to celebrate Eid-el-Fitr, Dr Adegbola’s message resonates with the essence of the festive period—encouraging love, unity, and support for one another in the quest for Oyo State to be prosperous.

In closing, he reiterated, “Let us embrace the spirit of Eid by fostering unity and love among ourselves, and building a stronger and more resilient Oyo State: TOGETHER, WE CAN”
