WHY MONETARY POLICY MATTERS
The role of a central bank and the limits of what it can
"The job is simple to state. A central bank @cenbank manages the supply and cost of money so that prices stay stable, growth is sustainable and the financial system holds together. It has a modest toolkit: a policy rate, which sets the price at which banks borrow; reserve requirements, which fix how much of their deposits banks must park with it; and open-market operations, through which it adds liquidity to the system or drains it.
Each tool works through the same channels, namely credit, exchange rates and, not least, expectations."

"Yet the instrument cuts both ways. Cheap money supports jobs and softens recessions, which matters to the young and unskilled, who are first out of work when the economy sours.
But it also squeezes savers and can inflate the assets of those who already own plenty. Tight money tames prices but, pushed too far, chokes credit, slows hiring and raises unemployment.
There is no free lunch in the central banker's kitchen,"...

"Nigeria offers a vivid lesson. Since 2023 the country has stripped away a petrol subsidy, liberalised its foreign-exchange market and stopped financing the government's deficits through the central bank. These were overdue reforms, but they came with a shock: a weaker naira, dearer fuel and inflation that climbed above 30%.
The Central Bank of Nigeria (@cenbank) responded with force. It raised its policy rate by more than 800 basis points, to a peak near 27.5%, and held the cash reserve requirement at a punishing 45%.
The medicine worked. Inflation has fallen to about 15.4%, reserves have risen above $50b by some counts, the currency has steadied and growth has returned to around 4%. In September the Monetary Policy Committee reset the policy rate to 23%, calling it an operational realignment rather than a loosening."

"Few institutions shape daily life as much as the Central Bank @cenbank and few are understood as little. Its decisions on interest rates and money supply sound technical and remote. Yet they reach the price of bread, the cost of your bus fare, the chance of finding work and the odds that a small business will survive.
When a central bank does its job well, nobody notices. When it does not, everybody pays."

The 30-day fuel relief is a response to rising global fuel costs, not a campaign tool,” says Dr. Dahiru Muhammed. @pi_ctt @Mohsally @tvcnewsng

In an interview on @tvcnewsng, Dr. Dahiru Muhammed (@Mohsally), Chairman of the Presidential Implementation Committee on Technology Transfer (@pi_ctt), spoke about the 30 days fuel relief measures by President @officialABAT and further explained that It is a response to a global situation and not a campaign tool.

The eight Zamfara State lawmakers who resigned from the APC a few weeks ago met with President Bola Tinubu last night and have resolved to return to the APC to work for its success in the 2027 general election.
They were led to the President by the Minister of State for Defence, Bello Matawalle, who was accompanied by House of Representatives member, Aminu Sani Jaji.
Despite reports of their imminent defection to the ADC, the lawmakers will no longer join the opposition party, as moves to address their grievances are underway following the meeting with the President.
The eight lawmakers are:
- Aliyu Ango Kagara (Talata Mafara South)
- Ibrahim Tukur Bakura (Bakura)
- Faruk Musa Dosara (Maradun I)

What would President Tinubu do differently if re-elected?
“The period of hardship is over. The government has taken the most difficult step: stabilising the economy. Stabilisation comes before impact. We are now moving to the next stage of delivering tangible benefits. A second term would feature programmes that bring relief to Nigerians.”

WHAT WOULD A SECOND TERM UNDER PRESIDENT TINUBU LOOK LIKE?
According to Dr. Dahiru Muhammed, Chairman of the Presidential Implementation Committee on Technology Transfer (@pi_ctt), the next phase of the administration’s economic agenda would focus on translating economic stabilisation into tangible benefits for Nigerians.
He explains that stabilisation was a necessary first step, and that the government is now moving towards a phase focused on delivering practical relief through programmes designed to improve the lives of citizens.
His message is clear: the focus must now shift from stabilising the economy to ensuring Nigerians feel the impact in their everyday lives.
Watch Dr. Dahiru Muhammed (@Mohsally) share his perspective on the administration’s next phase and what a potential second term could prioritise.

With global tensions affecting fuel prices, the big question is how Nigerians can get some relief from the rising costs.
Speaking with @tvcnewsng, Dr. Dahiru Muhammed @Mohsally, Chairman of @pi_ctt, explained that the 30-day fuel relief measure is a response to global developments, not a campaign tool. He also noted that countries like the United States and Germany are taking steps to support their citizens.
Ultimately, what matters is how much this measure eases the pressure on Nigerians, helps manage transport and living costs, and makes everyday life a little easier.

Kaduna get ready!
A new era of innovation is here. On Monday, 19th of October, 2026 at Rigachikun, National Agency for Science and Engineering Infrastructure (@NASENIHQ), joins forces with the Kaduna State Government (@Better_Kaduna), to drive technology, empower communities and build a stronger innovative future in Kaduna State.
A major highlight of the event will be the launch of NASCAV, an initiative designed to transform agricultural practices through the deployment of drone technology. The initiative will promote the adoption of modern agricultural technologies to improve productivity, enhance efficiency and create new opportunities for women participating in the agricultural value chain.
The event will also feature the empowerment of 500 households with clean energy solutions, aimed at expanding access to sustainable energy, improving livelihoods and reducing dependence on conventional energy sources.
In addition, NASENI and the Kaduna State Government will perform the groundbreaking ceremony for a Skills Development Centre, which will provide a platform for practical training, technical capacity building and the acquisition of industry-relevant skills, particularly among young people.
These initiatives reflect NASENI’s commitment under its EVC/CEO, Mr @KSHalilu to translating innovation into practical solutions that improve lives, stimulate local economic activity and support Nigeria’s industrial and technological development.

Thousands of tractors are sitting unused when they could be helping farmers grow more food. Now, plans are in place to put them back to work.
Speaking with @tvcnewsng, Dr. Dahiru Muhammed (@Mohsally), Chairman of @pi_ctt, said President @officialABAT has provided funds to repair these tractors across Borno, Niger, Kebbi and other states. The committee is also working on a coal-based fertiliser plant in Kano.
These efforts will help farmers get the equipment and fertiliser they need, make farming easier and increase food production in Northern Nigeria.
This is how technology transfer should work: using practical solutions to solve real problems and improve the lives of Nigerians.

As global developments in the Middle East continue to influence fuel prices, the 30-day fuel relief initiative offers a temporary measure to cushion the impact on Nigerians.
Speaking on @tvcnewsng, Dr. Dahiru Muhammed @Mohsally Chairman of @pi_ctt, clarified that the intervention is driven by prevailing global economic realities rather than political considerations. He also noted that countries such as the United States and Germany have introduced similar measures to ease the burden on their citizens.
