Nigeria's most influential voices sounded a united alarm in Abuja. At a lecture honoring Rotimi Amaechi's 60th birthday, Atiku Abubakar, Emir Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, Cardinal Onaiyekan, and others demanded urgent action against poverty to rescue democracy. Their message was clear: "Poverty is being weaponized – and it’s destroying Nigeria."

The September TransformationStarting this admission cycle: ✅ New students will enroll exclusively in technical programs ❌ Science-based admissions end immediately ⏳ Existing science students complete studies Bugaje explained: "Before, students preferred sciences while technical training was ignored. This smart intervention reverses that trend." Why This Radical Change?Simply put, Nigeria faces a technical education crisis: ⚠️ Only 129 technical colleges nationwide ⚖️ Versus 15,000+ conventional secondary schools 🎯 Polytechnics admit mostly general graduates due to shortages Crucially, President Tinubu approved new infrastructure and equipment to make technical paths attractive. "We’re investing to position TVET as a premier choice," Bugaje emphasized.

Amaechi Backs Tinubu’s Policies But Slams Leaders: “Gains Go to Private Pockets, Not Nigerians!”

Former Minister Rotimi Amaechi delivered a sharp message at his 60th birthday in Abuja. He revealed he would have pursued similar policies to President Bola Tinubu if he led Nigeria. But he issued a major warning: ordinary Nigerians aren’t feeling the benefits. Amaechi’s Core Critique: Where’s the Public Good?Amaechi didn’t mince words: "The failure is that the gains of those policies are in their private pockets." He claims the intended results of reforms like subsidy removal enrich private individuals, not the masses.

If it went into the economy, people wouldn’t be complaining."* The Root Problem: Sharing vs. BuildingThe ex-Rivers Governor pinpointed a deeper issue in Nigerian politics. "Our politicians lack capitalist ideas," he stated. "Elites only fight about sharing resources, not creating them." He argued this "sharing mentality" blocks real progress that could help […]
