I spent 47 days as one of several thousand African migrants seeking to enter Europe through the Sahara Desert and the Mediterranean Sea. Story on @fijnigeria tomorrow, Thursday and on Friday.

When my team and I launched Burger King in Nigeria, we joked that one day they’d start selling jollof rice in Nigeria. Crazy to see it actually happening 😂

🇳🇬 Nigeria's outlook just improved because of the Iran war... Moody's revised the country to positive from stable on Friday, citing stronger foreign exchange reserves and growth ahead of expectations, while affirming the B3 rating. The agency expects Nigeria's current account surplus to stay sizeable even if oil prices fall materially. Africa's third-largest economy has ridden the crude surge driven by the Middle East conflict, along with a ramp-up in refined product exports. The World Bank projects growth around 4.2% this year. Six months of a shut strait has redistributed money as much as it has redrawn shipping lanes. Iran's exports fell to near zero, Americans are paying about $4 a gallon, and producers well outside the fighting are collecting the difference. Source: Reuters / Writer: Daniel

PROTECTING FOOTBALL, RESTORING NATIONAL PRIDE Football occupies a special place in our national life. It brings Nigerians together across generations and communities, and our country has never lacked talent, passion or support for the game. Yet, our results have too often fallen short of what Nigeria should expect. I have therefore directed a comprehensive reform of Nigerian football following our repeated failures to qualify for major regional, continental and world tournaments. The problems are structural, and our response must address them.

STATEHOUSE PRESS RELEASE PRESIDENT TINUBU APPROVES EXPANSION OF NIGERIAN ARMY TO 12 DIVISIONS, RECRUITMENT OF 28,000 PERSONNEL TO STRENGTHEN NATIONAL SECURITY President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, has approved the expansion of the Nigerian Army’s structure from eight to twelve divisions—a landmark move to enhance the country’s security architecture and improve the operational effectiveness of the Nigerian Army. This approval underscores the President’s unwavering commitment to equipping the Armed Forces to address Nigeria’s evolving security challenges effectively and to strengthen national defence capabilities further. The expansion builds on the Administration’s sustained investments in the Armed Forces, including approval for the recruitment of 28,000 additional personnel, acquisition of critical military platforms and equipment, improvements in troop welfare, and ongoing support for operational readiness and force modernisation. Under the new structure, the Nigerian Army will operate twelve divisions, strategically positioned across the country as follows: 1. 1 Division Headquarters – Kaduna (Kaduna, Kano, Katsina and Jigawa States) 2. 2 Division Headquarters – Ibadan (Oyo, Osun, Ekiti and Ondo States) 3. 3 Division Headquarters – Jos (Plateau, Bauchi and Gombe States) 4. 5 Division Headquarters – Makurdi (Benue, Nasarawa and Kogi States) 5. 6 Division Headquarters – Port Harcourt (Rivers, Akwa Ibom and Cross River States) 6. 7 Division Headquarters – Maiduguri (Borno and Yobe States) 7. 8 Division Headquarters – Sokoto (Sokoto, Kebbi and Zamfara States) 8. 9 Division Headquarters – Ilorin (Kwara and Niger States) 9. 10 Division Headquarters – Jalingo (Taraba and Adamawa States) 10. 81 Division Headquarters – Lagos (Lagos and Ogun States) 11. 82 Division Headquarters – Enugu (Enugu, Anambra, Abia, Ebonyi and Imo States) 12. 83 Division Headquarters – Benin City (Edo, Delta and Bayelsa States). The establishment of the new Divisions in Makurdi, Ilorin, Jalingo and Benin City will significantly improve command and control, decentralise operational decision-making, strengthen border security, enhance the protection of critical national infrastructure, improve counter-insurgency and internal security operations, and ensure faster military response to emerging threats nationwide. Implementation of the new force structure will be done in two phases. The first phase, covering the establishment of the 5, 9, and 10 Divisions and the reorganisation of existing formations, will be completed by September 2026. The second phase, involving the establishment of the 83 Division and further reorganisation, is expected to be completed by December 2026. President Tinubu commended the Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Waidi Ibrahim Shuaibu, and all officers and soldiers of the Nigerian Army for their dedication, professionalism, and steadfast commitment to defending Nigeria’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. The President reaffirmed his Administration’s determination to continue investing in the Armed Forces, ensuring they remain adequately equipped, highly motivated, and fully capable of protecting the nation and guaranteeing the safety and security of all Nigerians.
