The hard work to deliver a better Nigeria continues, building on the foundations of peace, rule of law and opportunities for all. We have no other motive than to serve Nigeria with our hearts and might, and build a nation which we and generations to come can be proud of.

Deep appreciation and gratitude must go to General (Dr.) Yakubu Gowon, the founding father of the NYSC, who conceived the idea and brought it to fruition on May 22, 1973. It is a solid legacy that has stood the test of time and proved its worth to the country.

307

The NYSC, on its part, has brought great benefits, fostering national unity, and breaking down ethnic divisions. The many marriages contracted over the years by Corps members, cutting across the boundaries of ethnicity and religion, are, in no small measure, proof of this.

199

Kudos to our dear diligent and patriotic young people, serving the nation through the NYSC. Nigeria is very proud of you. The success story of the fifty-year-old noble Scheme that is the NYSC will be incomplete without conspicuous mention of all your outstanding contributions.

168

The NYSC has, over the decades, afforded young Nigerians the platform & opportunity to make meaningful contributions in various spheres of national life. We acknowledge the contributions of members to our electoral system, Social Investment Programme, and our COVID-19 Response.

138

I have directed the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, the Federal Civil Service Commission, and the Honourable Minister of Education to ensure implementation of these employment and scholarship offers.

154

52 of them received Presidential Honours Awards, while 13 are physically challenged former members who have been recognized under the NYSC Hope Alive programme. We are grateful for their service to the nation, and their labour shall not be in vain.

164

All 65 of them are also entitled to automatic employment in the Federal Civil Service, in addition to cash prizes.

202

The 65 former National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) members we honoured in Abuja today, in commemoration of the 50th Anniversary of the NYSC, will be awarded

scholarships to study up to Doctorate degree level at any University of their choice within Nigeria.

Dr. Mbang displayed, in his over six decades of service to God and humanity, exemplary courage, forthrightness, wisdom, intellectualism and selflessness. I pray for the peaceful repose of his soul.

130

The late Prelate Emeritus Mbang was indeed a spiritual colossus at home & abroad: the longest-serving Leader, Methodist Church Nigeria; first Methodist President, Christian Association of Nigeria; first Black President, World Methodist Council, among other pioneering positions.

130

I commiserate with all Methodists in Nigeria and the Diaspora, on the passing of His Eminence, Prelate Emeritus, Methodist Church Nigeria, Dr. Sunday Coffie Mbang. Heartfelt condolences particularly to the Mbang family, and also the Government and people of Akwa Ibom State.

Hilda's drive, ambition and resilience have brought great interest and insight into the uniqueness of Nigerian food. She is now a cultural icon, and I believe that this feat will inspire many more young people, in Nigeria and beyond, to follow in her footsteps.

I share the immense joy of all Nigerians as Hilda Bassey Effiong (Hilda Baci) makes history by breaking the world record for longest cooking marathon. A great day for Nigeria. We're all very proud of what she has personally accomplished—and placing Nigeria in the global spotlight

Let me also recognize and acknowledge the important role of the judiciary in deepening rule of law and democracy in Nigeria.

Elections should be seen as a path to an end, which is the progress of the people in a peaceful environment, rather than unending bickering. This is the time for inclusion and harmony in Osun State, at the end of litigation.

137

637

The main task at hand is to make the people feel the impact of good governance, that guarantees a prosperous, peaceful and stable Osun State.

124

596

With the final decision by the Supreme Court on the July 16, 2022 governorship election in Osun State, all hands should be on deck to provide the

@AAdeleke_01

administration all the support needed to implement programmes,policies & plans fashioned to make Osun flourish & succeed.

It was my pleasure today to address colleagues at the Commonwealth Leaders Summit. My last time attending a Summit of Commonwealth Leaders, and also my last official engagement with His Majesty The King, as I leave office on May 29. An extraordinary & significant moment for me.

In June 2019, I assented to the Suppression of Piracy & Other Maritime Offences Act, 2019 (SPOMO Act), passed by the National Assembly, and which aims to prevent and suppress Piracy, Armed Robbery and other unlawful acts against any ship lawfully operating in the Gulf of Guinea.

It was my pleasure to welcome President-Elect

I'm pleased with the successes being recorded in tackling piracy in the Gulf of Guinea. Nigeria remains committed to spearheading these efforts. Through the Deep Blue Project, launched in June 2021,

@NigeriaGov

invested $195 million in security boats, vehicles and aircraft.

Very importantly, we also salute the gallantry and excellence of the officers and men of the Nigerian Army, and all our Armed Forces and other security agencies. God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

345

On behalf of all Nigerians, let me express immense gratitude to the Chief of Defence Staff and all the other Service Chiefs, and heads of all paramilitary organizations, for their commitment and selfless service to the nation.

306

We will continue to do everything to re-invigorate the fighting spirit of our troops through the inculcation of greater pride in their units.

227

The last Trooping & Presentation of Colours Parade by

@HQNigerianArmy

was held in 2007. Since then, a lot has changed: new units have been established & operationalized, in addition to the fact that existing colours have been extensively used & are hence deserving of retirement.

391

The quantum of military platforms inducted since 2015 has enabled troops to take the battle to terrorists & criminals, particularly in North-East, resulting in recapture of territories held by insurgents. Our efforts have indeed paid-off with records of unprecedented successes.

262

The Nigerian Army has acquired hundreds of Mine Resistant Ambush Protected Vehicles, Troops Carrying Vehicles, Utility Vehicles, Tanks, Armoured Personnel Carriers, in addition to large numbers of supporting artillery guns, machine guns, rifles, and ammunition.

231

The Nigerian Army has, in line with my resolve to cater for the families of deceased personnel, implemented a welfare system that has provided Army scholarships to over 50,000 children and wards of personnel who died in active service, from 2015 to date.

232

Since 2015 when I was sworn in as President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, I have ensured the recruitment of more than 60,000 soldiers from Depot Nigerian Army, apart from thousands commissioned from the Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA).

243

When we came to office in May 2015, the fighting power of our military was at a low ebb. Eight years later, the story has changed significantly for the better, in every area: fighting power, training, operations, manpower, remuneration and welfare, maintenance efficiency.

282

Today, at the

's Unveiling and Presentation of New Colours, in Abuja, I presented 81 new, symbolic flags to the Army's various units. I am very pleased to say that in the last eight years we have achieved a remarkable transformation of our military.

As we celebrate Eid-el-Fitr, May we continue to enjoy Allah’s reward for our sacrifices. We should strive to never forget the many important lessons of the Ramadan, which include improving our bond with the underprivileged and poor members of society. Eid Mubarak!

I mourn the passing of former Attorney General & Minister of Justice, and High Commissioner to the UK, Prince Bola Ajibola, SAN. His contributions to development of our legal system cannot be overstated; his patriotism, integrity and passion for service will continue to resonate.

As we celebrate this season with our families, neighbors and communities, let us do so in love, compassion, kindness, resilience and forgiveness. Happy Easter!

Our successes on security, economy, infrastructure, new oil frontier basins, landmark legal reforms as well as food sufficiency, among others, were possible because of the support of Nigerians.
