Governor Ademola Adeleke has urged entrepreneurs not to be daunted by the current economic situation but rather continue to innovate to prosper.

He made the charge today at Ibadan while commissioning a major gas plant alongside the Dangote Refinery Booking office, urging entrepreneurs to continue to strive and thrive through persistence and adaptation.

According to the State Governor, “opportunities exist during economic turbulence for business people who can innovate and adjust their operational models.

“ We are commissioning a business today that is innovating in tune with the current economic climate. I use this event as a point of contact to all business operators. We know the environment is harsh but we must adapt.

“You cannot afford to give up. You have invested so much. Let’s refocus the business by reviewing the line of business. Let study what new lines the current situation is throwing up. Let’s cut costs and put God at the centre of our operations’ ‘, the Governor advised as he commissioned the business in the presence of several dignitaries.

The Governor while congratulating the CEO of the Dangote Refinery Booking Office, Mrs. Motunrayo Ajeigbe Akinlosotu, described her as resilient and dogged in seeing her dreams come through.

He expressed happiness that the CEO chooses to be part of the solution in Nigeria at a time many able Nigerians are selling their hard-earned fortunes and inheritance to seek greener pastures abroad in the name of Japa syndrome.

The Governor called on other Nigerians especially young entrepreneurs to defy all odds in pursuing their dreams to fruition.

Speaking earlier, the Managing Director of Mrs. Motunrayo Ajeigbe Akinlosotu, said the venture is a decade-long dream fulfilled, noting that the office will service clients from far and near.

The business owner who thanked God for making the dream possible despite the economic climate said the firm hjas a capacity for more than a billion naira product transaction.

“We are open for business with a promise to serve our client with integrity and professionalism”, the proprietor promised.

Minister of the Federal Capital Territory Nyesom Wike has vowed to ensure that President Bola Tinubu’s enemies develop high blood pressure.

Wike said he had realised that Tinubu’s opponents are unhappy with his good works since assuming office in 2023.

The minister made this statement during the commissioning of the Arterial Road N16 (Shehu Shagari Way) from Ring Road 1 (Nnamdi Azikiwe Way) to Arterial Road N20 (Wole Soyinka Way), along with other roads in the Katampe district of capital city, by President Tinubu on Wednesday.

Wike recalled how he came to understand, while watching television, that some individuals harbour resentment towards Tinubu.

The minister vowed to continue rolling out commendable projects that would cause further dismay to the President’s critics.

He said: “Sometimes, I don’t know, spiritually I was touched. I was just touched to turn it (TV) on, and I was watching, and I didn’t realise that people could be in pain, but now I know that such people are in pain.

“I now must make sure I continue to give them high blood pressure. As they continue to be in pain, it’ll be sweetening us, and that’s now my job.

“I’ll be happy, moving around, and laughing every time, and they’ll be there shouting, fighting, and killing themselves. So, Mr President, thank you for being part of this revolution.”

Democracy Day: ‘Nigeria is not where it should be’ – Niger Gov, Bago

Published

Niger State Governor Mohammed Bago has expressed concern that despite over two decades of uninterrupted democratic rule, Nigeria still falls short of its potential.

The governor spoke in a statement released by his Chief Press Secretary, Bologi Ibrahim, to commemorate this year’s Democracy Day.

Bago stressed that more needs to be done to translate democratic rule into tangible development.

“It is worrisome that despite the uninterrupted democratic rule that Nigeria has been having from 1999, the Nation is still not where it should be. More needs to be done,” Bago said.

He called for electoral reforms and enhanced civic participation for inclusive governance and strong democratic institutions that protect the vulnerable, ensure justice and provide equal opportunities for all, thereby, advancing democracy in Nigeria.

Bago also called on Nigerians to reflect deeply on progress made, renew their commitments in the democratic process and uphold the principles of democracy.

According to him, “Democracy symbolises the victory of the collective will of the people, over dictatorship. It also reminds every patriotic Nigerian of the struggles, sacrifices, aspirations, and resilience of our past heroes and heroines.”

He also stated that semocracy has brought about transparency and accountability in governance, vibrant political competition, expression of diverse viewpoints and increased civic engagement, among others.

Bago reassured the people of Niger State that through responsible leadership and inclusive governance for a sustainable development, more dividends of democracy will be provided.

He also called for continuous prayers, support and understanding, while reiterating his firm resolve in the task of building a more secure, transformed and prosperous state under his New Niger Agenda.

“I urge you all to continue to pray for leaders at all levels for a purposeful leadership. I reaffirm my commitment to the New Niger project, which is a possibility,” the governor stated.
