Vice-President Kashim Shettima says President Bola Tinubu is dedicated to the survival of Nigerian enterprises.

Mr Shettima said this during a tour of the SecureID Smartcard and Digital Solutions Facility in Lagos, according to a statement on Tuesday.

The vice-president described the Nigerian enterprises as catalysts for a sustainable economic future.


He said the SecureID Smartcard and Digital Solutions Facility in Lagos was a shining example of Nigeria’s industrial and technological potential.

He commended SecureID, the country’s leading smart card manufacturing company, for its two decades of excellence in manufacturing and digital solutions.

Mr Shettima also lauded the company’s evolution from a local startup to a continental leader in digital solutions capable of producing 200 million cards annually, including international passports and voter identification cards.

According to him, this enterprise embodies the promise of what our nation can achieve when our innovative minds are given the support to compete with the rest of the world.

“From a humble local startup to a continental leader, SecureID has proven that with vision, dedication, and hard work, Nigerian businesses can stand tall on the global stage,” he said.

The vice-president noted that economic growth was inseparable from enterprise development.

He revealed some government interventions designed to spur industrial expansion, which include fiscal reforms and the manufacturing sector fund, expected to encourage investment in key industries.

He also revealed that the Tinubu administration had introduced strategic measures to bolster the nation’s economy, ensuring enterprises like SecureID could thrive and drive national development.

Mr Shettima further reaffirmed the government’s commitment to fostering an environment where businesses could flourish. He pledged that the administration would help local industries fulfil their potential.

The Senate President has said that a class captain has power within his right to separate two friends that always talk during class and move their seats apart.

Recall that Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, who represents the Kogi Central Senator will now face senate disciplinary panel over her seat reallocation outburst in the red chamber.

The Senate President Godswill Akpabio announced this on the floor of the Senate, saying a motion to that regard has referred the matter to its Ethics, Code of Conduct and Public Petitions committee.

Recall that the controversy began when Akpoti-Uduaghan’s seat was reassigned within the Senate chamber without her consent.

The Kogi senator was moved from her original position in the minority section to the last row, a change she resisted.

Her refusal to comply with the arrangement was deemed a violation of Senate rules.

However, Akpabio said Akpoti-Uduaghan will now face disciplinary panel, which will then to revert back to the chamber after investigation.

The Senate President said: “There’s a motion before us that we should refer the entirety of the saga to our Ethics, Code of Conduct and Public Petitions, and then to revert back to us. But let me just read this for the record, even the first time the issue came up here our distinguished sister was not even speaking from her seat. And that was, that was when we tried to call her to order.”

Twelve years ago, on February 10, 2013, Nigeria’s Super Eagles lifted their third Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) title, defeating Burkina Faso 1-0 in Johannesburg.

Under the late Stephen Keshi, a squad of home-based talents and Europe-based stars blended perfectly to achieve glory.

Here’s a look at the heroes from that night and where they are now.

Vincent Enyeama
The shot-stopper was a fortress throughout the tournament, keeping four clean sheets, including in the final. He earned a spot in the tournament's Best XI.

Enyeama retired from international football in 2015 with 101 caps, making him Nigeria’s most capped player until Ahmed Musa surpassed the record in 2021.

The 42-year-old now resides in Uyo and France, running his hotel business while mentoring his son, who plays as an U-18 goalkeeper for Lille.

Efe Ambrose
Ambrose was a consistent figure in Nigeria's defense during the tournament and he earned a spot in the tournament's Best XI. Post-AFCON, he enjoyed a lengthy career in Scotland with Celtic and Hibernian.

Now 36, Ambrose plays for Workington AFC in England’s NWCFL after leaving Bury FC.

Kenneth Omeruo
A rising star in 2013, Omeruo impressed with his solid defensive displays. He went on to have spells with Chelsea, Middlesbrough, and Leganés.

Now 31, he is a free agent after leaving Kasımpaşa in Turkey and remains a valuable option for the Super Eagles.

Elderson Echiejile
Echiejile missed the final due to injury but played a key role throughout the tournament. After stints in Portugal, France, and Turkey, the left-back has been without a club since 2020.

Now 36, Echiejile focuses on football development projects in Nigeria.

Joseph Yobo
The captain led by example, guiding Nigeria to glory. Yobo became the country’s most-capped player at the time with 100 appearances.

He retired in 2014 and was later opportuned to serve as an assistant coach for the Super Eagles in 2020.

The former Everton captain is now managing his football academy in the Niger Delta and works as a pundit.

John Mikel Obi
One of Africa's most decorated footballers, John Mikel Obi played a pivotal role in Nigeria's triumphant 2013 Africa Cup of Nations campaign in South Africa.

Since hanging up his boots, he has seamlessly transitioned into one of the most prominent voices in football podcasting, and has most notably caused uproar with his criticism of current players, such as Chelsea’s Nicolas Jackson.

Ogenyi Onazi
Onazi’s tireless work in midfield was crucial during the knockout stages. After spells in Italy, Turkey, and Denmark, Onazi is currently a free agent at 32, having last played for Avezzano in Italy’s Serie D.

Victor Moses
Moses dazzled on the wings, contributing two goals and several assists. The former Crystal Palace youngster earned a spot in the tournament's Best XI.

He continued to shine at Chelsea and Inter Milan before moving to Spartak Moscow. Now 34, Moses plays for Luton Town in the English Championship.

Brown Ideye
Brown Ideye, now with Enyimba, was a key member of the Nigerian squad that won the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations in South Africa.

He scored in the semi-final victory over Mali. After a 17-year absence from Nigerian football, the 36-year-old striker returned home, signing with Enyimba following a successful career in Europe and the Middle East with clubs like West Bromwich Albion, Dynamo Kyiv, and Olympiacos.

Ahmed Musa
Nigeria’s most capped footballer with 110 appearances, has been a consistent presence for the Super Eagles over the years. He featured in five of the team’s six matches during their victorious 2013 Africa Cup of Nations campaign in South Africa, scoring in the 4–1 semi-final win over Mali.

The 32-year-old has been part of four AFCON squads (2013, 2019, 2021, and 2023). Currently, Musa plies his trade in the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) with Kano Pillars, following his stint in Turkey’s Süper Lig with Sivasspor.

Sunday Mba
Mba was the hero of the final, scoring the winning goal against Burkina Faso. Despite his heroics, Mba’s career didn’t reach expected heights. After short stints in France and Turkey, he’s been without a club since 2018.

Now 36, he lives a quiet life away from football.

Fegor Ogude
At the time of the 2013 AFCON, Warri-born Fegor Ogude was playing for Vålerenga in Norway. Shortly after the tournament, he made a move to Russia, where he spent five years with Amkar Perm and Yenisey Krasnoyarsk.

Following a period without a club in 2019, Ogude reportedly retired from professional football in 2020.

VIDEO: Drama in Senate as Akpabio orders suspension of Senator Natasha over seating arrangement

A heated drama erupted in the Senate on Thursday, February 20, as Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan of Kogi Central engaged in a shouting match after discovering that her seat had been changed without her consent.

The plenary session, presided over by Senate President Godswill Akpabio, was ongoing when Chief Whip Senator Mohammed Ali Monguno raised a point of order concerning Natasha’s seating position.

As Monguno made his submission, Natasha interjected forcefully, demanding explanations for the change.

“Why was my seat moved without my consent?” she queried, refusing to be silenced.
The altercation escalated, prompting Akpabio to order the Sergeant-at-Arms to remove her from the plenary.

However, Natasha resisted, standing her ground and defiantly declaring, “I am not afraid of you, and I will not be silenced."

The lawmaker also accused Akpabio of sidelining her, stating that she had been denied several opportunities to present bills for a second reading since their last confrontation.

Efforts to restore order proved challenging, with tensions running high.

The situation was eventually brought under control when the public address systems were shut down, allowing proceedings to resume.

The incident underscores ongoing tensions in the upper legislative chamber and raises questions about the Senate's internal dynamics under Akpabio’s leadership.

Binance case continues as Nigerian government, through the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS), has asked the Federal High Court in Abuja to order Binance Holdings Limited to pay $79,514,055,594.40 and N231 million for economic losses allegedly caused by its operations in Nigeria, as well as $2,001,000,000 in income tax for 2022 and 2023.

These monetary demands and alleged liabilities, exclusively seen by Nairametrics, include a 10% penalty for non-payment of income tax for 2022 and 2023, a 26.75% interest rate—being the prevailing Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) lending rate per annum—from January 1, 2023, and January 1, 2024, respectively, among other charges.

Recall that NAFDAC had explained why it had to shut down markets

Peter Obi said "I have noted the mixed reactions- both positive and negative to my call for the immediate reopening of markets that were not involved in illegal drug trading.

Once again, this situation highlights why we continue to experience economic stagnation, and unproductivity in our nation.

When those who have never built or managed businesses - who do not understand how micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) operate - are in charge, they take actions that cripple legitimate businesses and stifle economic growth.

This is how we have continued to decline - where governance disregards the realities of everyday Nigerians.

The earlier we embrace the fact that small-scale businesses are a critical part of the economy, the better for us as a developing nation.

During my recent visit to Indonesia, I engaged with the Ministry of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) and policymakers. They clearly demonstrated how Indonesia MSMES provides over 90% of the employment.

The Indonesian government provides committed support to ensure these MSME businesses thrive, offering access to reduced funding while ensuring that those who violate the law are duly persecuted and punished.

During my tenure as Governor, Anambra State was the first to seek a partnership with the Bank of Industry to secure special loans for MSMEs. A dedicated committee was set up to ensure that the loans reached those who truly needed them. We also facilitated the establishment of a Bank of Industry branch in Anambra to enhance access to funding.

When many states were banning motorcycle riders, a.k.a okada riders operations, on allegations that they were involved in criminal activities, I refused to follow suit because I understood the economic implications for small businesses. Instead, I intensified efforts to enhance their operations, creating an environment where small businesses could thrive while collaborating with their unions, and security agencies to weed out the bad actors.

Similarly, I ensured that certain categories of small businesses, such as wheelbarrow pushers, were exempted from paying taxes to ease their financial burden.

Today, entire markets are being shut down because of the actions of a few.

You do not cripple an Ogbo Ogwo market and surrounding markets for several days in the name of enforcement.

These are people struggling to survive in an already difficult economic environment, yet instead of providing solutions, the government is shutting down markets indiscriminately. This is not governance; it is economic sabotage.

Small businesses must be protected—not destroyed—if we truly want to build a productive nation.

I respectfully appeal once again that businesses not involved in the sale of fake drugs should not be shut down due to the huge implications of closing businesses that depend on daily profits to survive. A one-month closure will cripple many of them. We have witnessed similar situations in the past, where businesses reopened only to find that goods with short shelf lives had expired, resulting in huge losses.

Additionally, I like to advise that shop owners should be present before any searches are conducted on their premises to ensure transparency and fairness.

A video that went viral on Tuesday has captured the final moments of the late Chief Ayo Adebanjo, leader of the Yoruba socio-cultural group Afenifere, in which he shared his own thoughts on how his passing would be announced.

The video features Adebanjo, alongside a woman’s voice identified as his daughter, where he humorously but somberly says, "Ayo Adebanjo, leader of Afenifere, the controversial man, is gone. He died at the age of 90-something. He spoke last to his daughter."

Chief Ayo Adebanjo, the revered 96-year-old leader of Afenifere, passed away peacefully at his residence in Lekki, Lagos, on Friday, February 14, 2025.

A deeply respected Nigerian lawyer and nationalist, Adebanjo was born on April 10, 1928, in Ijebu-Ogba Oke, Ogun State.

Maintaining healthy boundaries can help you strengthen relationships, avoid unhealthy connections, and improve your self-esteem and overall well-being. Navigating friendships between men and women can sometimes feel like tightrope walking, especially when it comes to setting boundaries.

The key lies in a mutual understanding and respect that keeps the friendship comfortable and drama-free.

Recall that the former Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Mudashiru Obasa, has filed a suit against the Assembly and the new Speaker, Mojisola Meranda, before the Lagos State High Court in Ikeja, challenging the legality of his sack.

Obasa, in the suit which is yet to be assigned to a judge, is urging the court to declare that his colleagues in the House acted unlawfully by removing him while the Assembly was on recess.

In the application dated February 12, 2025, and filed by his lawyer, Chief Afolabi Fashanu (SAN), the plaintiff claimed that he was removed from his position on January 13, 2025, by 36 lawmakers while he was out of the country.

Two people were reportedly shot on Monday in Boripe Local Government Area of Osun State as members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) clashed following the resumption of reinstated council executives.

The crisis stemmed from a dispute between Governor Ademola Adeleke and the Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Adegboyega Oyetola, over the return of sacked APC executives to office after their reinstatement by the Court of Appeal.

Checks by The Nation confirmed that APC executives resumed office early on Monday, celebrating their reinstatement and boasting about reclaiming control of the council.
