Tinubu Expected To Sign Amended Electoral Bill This Month, Says Akpabio

Vice President Kashim Shettima spent part of his time in Maiduguri, Borno State, participating in community activities that included wedding ceremonies. Among them were the weddings of the daughters of the Managing Director of the North-East Development Commission, Mohammed Alkali, and Nana Abubakar Zulum, the daughter of a brother of Borno State Governor, Prof. Babagana Zulum.

He was joined by family members, religious leaders, and senior government officials, as prayers were offered for unity and lasting peace in Nigeria, alongside messages of social cohesion, stability, continuity, and the consolidation of peace in the North-East.

Vice President has paid glowing tribute to the late Deaconess Eno Nnana Usoro, mother of Central Bank of Nigeria () Deputy Governor, Ms. Emem Nnana Usoro, describing her as a woman whose life exemplified grace, faith, and service to humanity.

He noted that the late Deaconess’s enduring legacy is evident in the lives of her children, particularly her daughter, the CBN Deputy Governor, whom he described as a mother’s dream fulfilled.

Speaking on Saturday at the funeral reception of the deceased held at Four Points by Sheraton Hotel in Ikot Ekpene, Akwa Ibom State, the Vice President said the late Deaconess Usoro’s life was a profound testimony to the power of prayer and the transformative influence of motherhood anchored in faith.

“The exemplary Ms. Emem Nnana Usoro is a daughter she couldn’t have been prouder of. She stands today as a symbol of a mother’s dream fulfilled — a story defined by sacrifice, prayer, and perseverance,” VP said.

A day after the burial of the late former President Muhammadu Buhari, at the behest of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, I am leading a delegation to Daura for prayers at the former President’s residence.

I am accompanied by the Governors of Borno State, Prof. Babagana Umara Zulum, and Katsina State, Dikko Umar Radda, as well as serving and former ministers, among others.

I will also be leading other mourners to the third-day prayer, which is expected to take place tomorrow.

Early this morning, I arrived in London in the company of the Chief of Staff to the President, Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila, on the directive of my boss, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, following the death of former President Muhammadu Buhari.

I was received on arrival by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Amb. Yusuf Tuggar, and the Governor of Borno State, Babagana Umara Zulum.

I will accompany the remains of the former President to Nigeria for burial in Daura, Katsina State.

The former leader died in London after a brief illness.

Tinubu/Kashim Continued 2027….

Earlier today, I joined my boss, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, at the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting held at the Council Chambers of the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

The meeting, chaired by President Tinubu, featured discussions on critical issues of national importance, including approvals aimed at strengthening Nigeria’s economy through local content prioritization and strategic sectoral reforms.

Today’s meeting also witnessed the formal swearing-in of Dr. Saviour Enyiekere as Chairman of the National Assembly Service Commission (NASC), alongside 12 commissioners representing Nigeria’s six geopolitical zones.

President Tinubu also administered the oath of office to two new Permanent Secretaries—Mr. Rafiu Olarinre Adeladan (Oyo State) and Dr. Muktar Mohammed (Jigawa State)—to strengthen leadership at the federal civil service level.

In a solemn moment of reflection, the Council observed a minute of silence in honor of the late Dubem Onyia, former Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, who passed away in March.

Earlier today in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, I launched the state’s National Human Capital Development (HCD) Accelerator Project and the ARISE Human Capital Development Strategy.

Following the launch ceremony, I inspected ongoing work at several ARISE HCD projects, including model primary schools and the ARISE Park—an innovative environmental reclamation project.

In my remarks, I restated the Federal Government’s resolve to position Nigeria among the top 80 countries on the Global Human Capital Index (HCI) by the year 2030.

This goal can be achieved by enhancing the nation’s workforce capabilities and improving socioeconomic outcomes.

I commended the state government for becoming the first to implement the national blueprint across all local government areas.

Every policy or programme that intervenes in the lives of our people can only succeed if it’s rooted in the grassroots. The true wealth of any nation lies in the strength of its human capital: the education of its children, the health of its citizens, and the productivity of its workforce.

Vice President , on Tuesday in Kaduna State, performed the groundbreaking ceremony for the construction of Phase 1 of the Special Agro-Industrial Processing Zone (SAPZ), declaring it a strategic milestone in President ’s plan to industrialise Nigeria’s agriculture sector and create sustainable jobs across the country.

The SAPZ is part of a larger national programme, with Kaduna, Kano, Kwara, Cross River, Imo, Ogun, Oyo, and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) among the states in the first phase of the project.
