President Bola Tinubu felicitates the Chancellor of Joseph Babalola University, Ikeji-Arakeji, Osun, Prof. Anthony Adegbulugbe, on his 70th birthday.

 

Tinubu lauded Adegbulugbe for his achievements and contributions to academia, evangelism, business, and philanthropy. Mr. Bayo Onanuga, his Spokesman, said in a statement on Wednesday.

 

He quoted the President as recalling their shared experiences that “in October 2019, I had the privilege of sharing the podium with Prof. Adegbulugbe as we received honorary doctorates alongside the Sultan of Sokoto, Muhammad Abubakar III, and the Obi of Onitsha, Igwe Nnaemeka Ugochukwu Achebe, at Afe Babalola University, Ado-Ekiti.

Germany, Nextier strengthen ties on security, development cooperation 2nd April 2025

Germany and Nigerian public policy think tank, Nextier, have explored the evolving landscape of German-Nigerian cooperation, focusing on economic growth, security, climate resilience, and investment opportunities.

 

The discussion was featured in the latest episode of Nextier’s Crossing Perspectives podcast, where Nextier’s Managing Partner, Dr. Ndu Nwokolo, engaged with the Deputy Head of Mission at the German Embassy in Nigeria, Ambassador Johannes Lehne.

 

Lehne noted Germany’s longstanding partnership with Nigeria and the country’s improving economic climate, attributing it to the reforms introduced by President Bola Tinubu.

 

“Inflation is decreasing, foreign exchange reserves are stabilising, and oil production is picking up,” he said.

 

He observed that German companies are showing increased interest in Nigeria, reflecting growing confidence in the business environment.

 

He added that Germany’s approach to development aid in Nigeria is shifting from crisis management to investment and business promotion.

 

“We will put more investment into the country. We will shift from crisis management to promoting businesses,” he stated, while also reaffirming Germany’s commitment to bolstering Nigeria’s defence sector.

 

According to him, Germany has already established a military support programme with the Nigerian Armed Forces and is likely to increase its assistance. He also highlighted Germany’s role in strengthening ECOWAS’ counterterrorism capabilities by providing mobile headquarters, hospitals, and logistics infrastructure.

 

On concerns over potential budget cuts in climate resilience, food security, and gender-related initiatives, Lehne reassured that funding remains intact.

 

“The Green Party in Germany secured €100 billion for climate, resilience, and gender programs. As the United States reduces its aid footprint, Germany will step in to fill the gap,” he said.

 

Germany, he added, will maintain its active development cooperation through GIZ, focusing on energy, agriculture, and job creation, including expanding the African Power Program for regional electricity integration.

On migration, Lehne acknowledged the desperation that pushes young Nigerians to seek illegal routes abroad but warned against the dangers of human trafficking networks.

 

“Don’t do it. It’s highly dangerous. Criminals exploit migrants, and the journey is filled with risks,” he cautioned.

 

Instead, he noted that Germany is working on a legal migration agreement with Nigeria to create structured opportunities for skilled workers.

Lehne also highlighted Germany’s investment in Nigeria’s energy transition and infrastructure development, citing projects such as the West African Power Program, which aims to integrate electricity networks across the region.

 

Regarding Nigeria’s critical minerals sector, he revealed that German companies have begun exploring opportunities, conducting satellite mapping of resources, and engaging with state governments.

 

However, he stressed that security and energy infrastructure must improve to attract sustainable foreign investment.

 

The discussion also addressed challenges facing ECOWAS, particularly the withdrawal of Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger. Lehne compared the situation to Brexit, stating that ECOWAS must decide whether to tolerate military rule or uphold democratic values.

 

“Countries cannot cherry-pick benefits without sharing responsibilities,” he said.

 

With an upcoming transition in the German government, he predicted heightened defence investments due to global security concerns.

 

He noted that Germany recently strengthened military cooperation with Nigeria through a $2 million defence support programme for 2025–2026 while continuing its counterterrorism support for ECOWAS.

A Life of Purpose: My 50-year Journey of Impact, Gratitude and Philanthropy – By Aare Adetola Olaniyi Emmanuelking 

 

A Life of Purpose: My 50-year Journey of Impact, Gratitude and Philanthropy – By Aare Adetola Olaniyi Emmanuelking

 

The 2nd of April holds a profound significance for me. This year marks a momentous milestone – my 50th birthday—a celebration of half a century filled with rich experiences and impactful contributions. In stark contrast to the jubilant celebrations of my 40th birthday, which saw the streets of Lagos alive with revelry, I have chosen a path of humility and gratitude to observe this occasion. I plan to reflect quietly on my journey and offer heartfelt thanks to my creator for the many blessings I have received.

 

My life story is truly remarkable. The inspiration for my thriving real estate business was born during a particularly challenging period—while I was recuperating in a hospital. It was then that I envisioned a venture that would transform the housing landscape in Nigeria and beyond. Today, that vision has flourished into a multi-billion-dollar conglomerate, and I have dedicated myself to providing affordable housing solutions. My work has significantly impacted the lives of countless individuals, turning the once homeless into proud homeowners. My innovative approaches have not only disrupted traditional real estate practices but have also inspired many others in the industry to explore similar pathways.

 

I remain profoundly grateful to my creator for enabling me to turn my lofty dreams into reality. I have focused my efforts on addressing the pressing issue of housing in Nigeria, crafting affordable home plans that have set a standard many in the industry have sought to emulate. As a trailblazer in the real estate sector, I have become known as the benchmark for real estate business success in Nigeria. Yet, I eschew lavish displays of wealth and grandeur. Rather than inviting praise from my admirers through elaborate festivities, I am instructing friends and associates to express gratitude on my behalf and to redirect their gifts toward charitable endeavors. This philosophy represents what I view as one of the greatest gifts I could receive for my birthday—bringing joy to those in need.

 

An embodiment of generosity and selflessness, I have intentionally opted against the extravagant celebrations common among billionaires. Instead, I encourage my community to focus their resources on philanthropy during this special time. For me, the opportunity to support and uplift the less fortunate embodies the true spirit of celebration.

In honour of my 50th birthday, I have planned a personal prayer service dedicated to me and my family, which will serve as a moment for reaffirming my commitment to a life devoted to serving God. My gratitude is especially poignant, given the challenges I have overcome. Adversity has met resilience on my journey, and I continuously witness the favour and protection of my creator, which empowers me to thrive despite life’s many obstacles.

 

Moving beyond personal reflection, I am also initiating plans for widespread communal betterment across Nigeria. I aim to donate substantial infrastructure improvements to underserved communities, making tangible contributions to enhance residents’ lives in significant ways. My commitment is symbolized by my pledge to commission 50 impactful projects nationwide, each representing a part of my dedication to fostering positive change and supporting community development.

While I have plans for a well-deserved retreat with my family beyond Nigeria’s borders, I remain grounded in my values and commitment to my community. As my 50th birthday unfolds, many are gathering to honour me in various ways, a testament to the profound influence I have had on their lives and the societal landscape.

 

In line with the wisdom of renowned playwright Professor Femi Osofisan, who insightfully noted that birthdays are not merely for the deceased, I truly appreciate the significance of this milestone, especially within a society where the average life expectancy is less than 50 years. I stand as a beacon of humility, gratitude, and an unwavering commitment to improving the lives of others.

 

Ultimately, as part of my ongoing legacy, I have made it clear that my 50th birthday celebration will revolve around positive societal contributions. Instead of indulging in extravagant expenditures for personal enjoyment, I prioritize investments that will uplift communities across Nigeria. I am determined to ensure that my milestone is marked by meaningful contributions rather than mere indulgence, reaffirming my role as both a property magnate and a dedicated servant to my country and its people.

 

In conclusion, I want to thank you all for your love, wishes, and prayers. May heaven celebrate you all, too. Amen. Happy 50th birthday 🎂 to me.
