Drug lord forgot he told BBC in an interview in 2022 that his family left him an inheritance, and that's how he made his money.
Fraud!
When I first arrived in the United States as a young man, I drove a taxi to earn money for my education. I even had to postpone starting school for several months to save enough.
When I eventually got to Chicago, I worked different jobs to support myself and pay my way through university. I know what it means to worry about tuition, accommodation and how to make ends meet while pursuing an education.
Those experiences have stayed with me.
I know what education made possible in my own life, and I believe every Nigerian child deserves that same opportunity, regardless of where they are born or what their parents can afford.
This is one reason education remains a major priority of our Renewed Hope administration.
Through NELFUND, we have provided over ₦372 billion in student loans for institutional fees and upkeep, helping young Nigerians remain in school and pursue their education.
Our technical and vocational education programme has attracted over 2.8 million applications. We have rehabilitated 38 technical colleges, while students in federal and selected state technical colleges now benefit from free school fees, boarding, textbooks and uniforms.
We have reached a new agreement with ASUU, providing for a 40% increase in academic staff remuneration and measures to improve stability in our universities.
A four-year course must take four years. Our young people deserve to complete their education on time and get on with their lives. Promise made, Promise Kept
In medical education, we are investing ₦110 billion in rehabilitating 24 medical schools. Annual nursing enrolment has increased from 28,000 to 115,000, while medical and dental enrolment has risen from 5,000 to 12,000.
Nigeria needs more doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals, and we must build the capacity to train them here at home.
Over one million children who were previously out of school have been returned to learning. We are investing in teacher development, expanding educational opportunities for girls, and implementing a new national curriculum that restores Nigerian History to our classrooms.
Our children must know where we have come from, understand the country they belong to, and be prepared to take responsibility for its future.
I commend the Honourable Minister of Education, Dr Tunji Alausa @DrTunjiAlausa, the Minister of State, Professor Suwaiba Sa’id Ahmad @Suwaiba_Said, and the entire education team @NigEducation for their dedication to this important work.
I am particularly pleased that the team has developed an interactive A–Z of the Nigeria Education Sector Renewal Initiative (NESRI), bringing together the reforms, programmes, achievements and opportunities across our education system.
I invite every Nigerian to visit edu4pbat.ng and explore the A–Z of NESRI.
If you are a parent, find out what opportunities are available for your children. If you are a student, explore the programmes you can benefit from. If you are a teacher, see what support is available.
And if something is not working as it should in your community, I want to hear about it. Your feedback will help us identify problems and address them.
Our journey from reform to opportunities and shared prosperity must begin with education.
The circumstances of a child’s birth should never determine the limits of their ambition. Our responsibility is to give every Nigerian child a fair chance to fulfil their potential.
We have more work to do, and I am determined to see it through.
Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR
President
Happy for level of awareness at this young age. Please tell her Linda ikeja "fell pregnant" despite all her men bashing.
The real target here was Peter Obi

Anyone telling you that the 2027 General Election has been rigged is working for Tinubu and APC. Rig and die. #RigandDie2027

The mess in the voters’ register is not restricted to a few states. It’s pervasive across most of the states. Our register fails a lot of integrity tests. We are not only seeing AI-generated voters but also pictures taken off the internet in a lot of places, such as in Bayelsa.

This right here is why the USA is the greatest country in the world
Abdul El-Sayed (@AbdulElSayed) didn’t think he had a chance in politics. Encouragement from Bill Clinton and the success of Barack Obama offered a different story.
With the joke Alone, imagine how much Peter Obi would have saved.
Imagine!
Comedian Phronesis don finish PO😭😭
"Imagine Mr Peter Obi as President of Nigeria. I feel he would be the first president to practically work like an Accountant-General because of how seriously he takes accountability and public funds. Tell me, which former governor has publicly challenged anyone to provide evidence that he st0le public money, promising to stop campaigning if anyone can prove it?"
