The Presidency has dismissed recent comments by former Kogi West Senator, Dino Melaye, on the country’s rising debt profile. In a post via his verified X handle on Tuesday, the Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Media and Public Communication, Sunday Dare, described Melaye’s statements as “entertainment, and not enlightenment.” Melaye, during an interview on a national television on Tuesday, mocked the Tinubu administration over its borrowing practices. Melaye had alleged that Nigeria’s debt situation was so dire that the government may soon be forced to borrow from local fintech firms if the borrowing trend persists. The former lawmaker questioned the rationale behind recent loan requests, asking why the government was seeking $1.7 billion from the World Bank and pointing to the Senate’s approval of about $21 billion in external borrowing so far. However, citing data from the Debt Management Office, Dare explained that Nigeria’s total public debt stood at ₦149.39 trillion as of March 31, 2025

| Sports › Nigeria Battles South Africa In Crucial Tie by Babasonny(op): 3:11pm On Sep 09, 2025 |
The Free State Toyota Stadium in Bloemfontein will host one of Africa's biggest football battles on Tuesday as Nigeria's Super Eagles take on South Africa's Bafana Bafana in a high-stakes 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier by 5pm Nigeria time. For South Africa, the game offers a chance to move within touching distance of their first World Cup appearance since hosting the tournament in 2010 while for Nigeria, it is about survival. The three-time African champions trail the group leaders by six points, with only three games left to play for which a lost would almost certainly end their hopes of direct qualification. Super Eagles Head Coach Eric Chelle delivered back-to-back victories over Rwanda, but the disappointing home draw against Zimbabwe meant he still faces the uphill task of closing the gap on South Africa and Benin. South Africa, by contrast, have built momentum after a shaky start, collecting 16 points from seven matches, winning all three of their home qualifiers so far.
