If I remember correctly we negotiated a few official and diplomatic visa free entries, while at MFA, some for normal passports are also in the pipeline, not sure if this ranking is a true reflection of our current passport status ?@renoomokri what do you think ?

I am excited to announce the launch of Tech This Week, Africa’s live technology show —covering the biggest news in tech and business!
African tech is shaping everyday life far beyond the tech ecosystem – sports, culture, and entertainment.
The conversations should reach just as far, and livestreaming is the next evolution.
Tech This Week will premiere on my X, LinkedIn and YouTube today at 6pm WAT — from Lagos, the startup capital of the continent.
Thanks for your interest in tech ✨

“I said I will not allow Obaseki produce a successor even though the candidate was a very good candidate; very good candidate who was the chairman of a bank. Ha came to see me more than three times but I told him “listen, I know you are a good candidate, but for this election I am sorry; because this election is between us and the man who is bringing you, called Obaseki. Returning you would be like bringing him back so I am sorry, you have to fail”.
And he failed.”

Nigeria’s former Honorable Minister of Foreign Affairs, Amb @YusufTuggar had a sit-down for this article in @JornalGGN on the historic and economic ties that binds Nigeria and Brazil and what must be done to expand the frontiers
“Nesse processo, tivemos a oportunidade de manter conversas particularmente enriquecedoras com Yusuf Maitama Tuggar, ex-Ministro das Relações Exteriores da Nigéria e ex-Embaixador da Nigéria na Alemanha. Após deixar o comando da diplomacia nigeriana em 2026, Tuggar voltou-se para suas atividades empresariais e para sua atuação política em seu estado natal, Bauchi. Nossos encontros não tiveram o formato convencional de entrevista”

It's been an incredible week of motivation and inspiration from the legendary Alhaji Aliko Dangote; from a private tour of the Dangote Refinery last week to hearing him speak about what it means for Africa to back itself at the #UNGA81 - q

Rest in Peace Mark. You were a true newsman, who told African stories to great effect! - Veteran BBC Africa correspondent Mark Doyle dies aged 67

Khalil died. Precocious teenage football player we were fond of. My son’s friend. May Allah rest his soul and grant his parents the fortitude to bear the loss. For their group of friends and football team it’s their first intimate experience with death, they are distraught and disoriented. May they be comforted.

Seven states. 60+ million people. One bold ambition.
Across Northwest Nigeria, a new chapter is being written as seven states choose to move forward together.
Today, that story reaches the global stage at #UNGA81.
Join us and be part of the partnerships shaping the Northwest’s next chapter, because when the Northwest rises, Nigeria rises. 🇳🇬

Mandela Washington Fellowship is back!
It remains one of the most transformative experiences I’ve had. I was part of the Presidential Precinct cohort, which gave me the rare opportunity to spend six weeks in Virginia learning across UVA, William & Mary and other historic spaces shaped by ideas about leadership and democracy.
I’m glad another cohort of young African leaders will get that opportunity. If you’re eligible, give it a shot. One application can open doors you may not even be able to imagine yet.

I watched the @OxfordUnion debate.
I side with the proposition on #Gaza, but the motion '#Israel never truly wanted peace' is a trap.
Condemning a whole people justifies collective punishment. Hold the guilty accountable. God rest the dead.
