Press Statement: October 1, 2026 *The "Age of Prosperity" Exists Only in Aso Rock*—Bamofin Ladipo Johnson's Response to President Tinubu's 66th Independence Day Address. Fellow Nigerians, This morning, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu addressed the nation to mark our 66th Independence Anniversary. While the Presidency would have us believe that Nigeria has safely crossed its "Red Sea" and entered an "Age of Prosperity," the painful reality on the ground for millions of citizens tells a completely different story. As a member of the opposition committed to the truth and the welfare of the Nigerian people, I find the President’s speech *detached, self-congratulatory, and profoundly insensitive to the daily struggles of ordinary citizens*. Here is our direct rebuttal to the claims made in the presidential broadcast: 1. *The Myth of the "Age of Prosperity" vs. Market Reality* The President declared that "the age of reform has done its work...

A debit card draws money directly from the available balance in a linked bank account. A credit card allows the cardholder to borrow within an approved credit limit and repay the amount under agreed terms. Understanding the difference between a debit card and a credit card is the first step towards choosing the right payment option for every expense.

Press Release  Benin-Asaba Expressway: SAN Cautions Against Unilateral Revocation of 25-Year Concession FG Should Exercise Caution Before Revoking Benin-Asaba Expressway Concession, Says Olatunji SAN Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), Abiodun Olatunji, has cautioned the Federal Government against recent pronouncements and actions concerning the state of the Benin-Asaba Expressway and the ongoing intervention activities on the highway.
