Oh boy !!

Today we remember that @GRVlagos stood firmly on the right side of history.

Reforms in education must go beyond promises. It must show up in learning outcomes, teacher welfare, accountability and real opportunities for every child. Which of these five reforms should Nigeria prioritise first?

Grateful for the opportunity to contribute to the conversation at the Education That Works Conference 2026. We discussed the policies, leadership decisions and institutional reforms needed to make education work-not just on paper, but in the classroom and in the lives of the people it serves. The goal is to ensure that every child has the opportunity to truly learn and thrive.

Your person in power will not be there forever. So why weaken the institutions simply because they are inconvenient to your preferred leader today?

I’m honoured to have been one of the guest speakers at the Blueprint Summit, where we had meaningful conversations around business, government policy, education, and there role in shaping Nigeria’s future. It was a valuable opportunity to engage with diverse voices, share perspectives and explore how businesses in different fields can thrive. Th future we want to build requires not just vision, but intentional policies and collective action.

Why do we continue to look outside Nigeria for things we should be building here? There is nothing bad with travelling. But when our leaders repeatedly look abroad for rest, healthcare, business and even solutions, we should be willing to ask a difficult question; what does that say about the confidence we have in the country we lead? We cannot build a country we are constantly trying to escape from.

Security isn’t just about putting more people on the frontline. It’s about building the right security architecture and giving those who serve the tools and support they need. We must strengthen intelligence-led policing, properly equip our soldiers and, just as importantly, take care of the men and women who put their lives on the line for Nigeria every day.

Well…. Looks like we saw this one coming A very predictable cycle

It’s a painful paradox when it’s cheaper to manufacture a product abroad, ship it all the way to Nigeria and sell it here than producing the same product locally. We need an ecosystem that makes production competitive in our country.

Education That Works Conference 2026 We’ll be exploring education and,governance and policy and the relationship between them. I look forward to seeing you there.

🇳🇬 Dear Nigeria, We carry your story in our hearts. The struggles, the sacrifices, the resilience, and the hope that refuses to die. 66 years on, we still believe in the Nigeria we dream of: a nation where every child can dream without limits, where hard work is rewarded, where hope is not a privilege, and where our differences make us stronger. We are not where we want to be yet, but we keep believing. we keep building. we keep hoping. We keep choosing Nigeria. Happy Independence Day, Nigeria 🇳🇬 #nigeriaat66

Without quality education, we weaken our human capital. Without reliable power and infrastructure, businesses struggle to produce and create jobs. Without security, citizens and investors cannot operate with confidence. The goal is to move Nigeria from a system of survival and consumption towards one driven by production, opportunity and human capital

No amount of billboards, convoy or political structures can replace the power of the people at the ballot box. The people are the real machinery.

A candidate’s character should matter more than the party they belong to. Choosing based on character, competence and credibility

Pensioners are not asking for a favour. They are asking for what they are owed. PENCom should not be a distant regulator watching from the sidelines. It should be central to resolving disputes between pensioners and the government, ensuring that those who spent decades serving the public can access their entitlements with dignity. The images and videos of elderly Nigerians being tear-gassed for demanding their pensions is not just disturbing. It is a failure of governance.

2027 will not be won by relying on institutions alone. INEC has a critical responsibility, and we must support those within the institution who are committed to delivering credible elections despite the pressure they may face. But as a political movement, we cannot simply rely on INEC, or anyone else. Our people are prepared to come out, vote, stay, protect their votes and defend their democratic rights.
