Fifty years after the passing of General Murtala Muhammad, his example still weighs heavily on our sense of duty as public servants.
He led with clarity and firmness. He expected discipline from the civil service and carried Nigeria’s voice with confidence beyond our borders, especially in matters of justice and African unity. His life remains a reminder that leadership is not about time spent in office, but about resolve and the courage to act when called upon.
Today, at this milestone anniversary, I am reminded of the standard he set. Government must be principled, focused, and united in purpose. The most meaningful way to honour his memory is to keep working toward a nation that lives up to those values.

There is a differebce between a state visit, a working visit and a private vsit.
State visit: The host is the monarch (king/queen). It is usually mainly ceremonial. The visitor will ride in the royal carriage, etc. I watched President Babangida's state visit in 1989.
Working visit: The prime minister is the host. It's usually mainly about business and government issues.
Yesterday, we had a productive and engaging meeting with the national executives of the Renewed Hope Agenda and the City Boy Movement, convened by Seyi Tinubu. The meeting provided an important platform for constructive discussions on strengthening coordination and aligning our collective efforts towards advancing President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope vision across the country.
We remain committed to working together in unity and purpose to support initiatives that promote national development and the success of our shared objectives.
