You don’t need to like BAT to acknowledge the amazing reforms going on in education. I even get mad when this administration focuses on student loan. Omo lots of initiatives and NELFUND is not even top 3
When I first arrived in the United States as a young man, I drove a taxi to earn money for my education. I even had to postpone starting school for several months to save enough.
When I eventually got to Chicago, I worked different jobs to support myself and pay my way through university. I know what it means to worry about tuition, accommodation and how to make ends meet while pursuing an education.
Those experiences have stayed with me.
I know what education made possible in my own life, and I believe every Nigerian child deserves that same opportunity, regardless of where they are born or what their parents can afford.
This is one reason education remains a major priority of our Renewed Hope administration.
Through NELFUND, we have provided over ₦372 billion in student loans for institutional fees and upkeep, helping young Nigerians remain in school and pursue their education.
Our technical and vocational education programme has attracted over 2.8 million applications. We have rehabilitated 38 technical colleges, while students in federal and selected state technical colleges now benefit from free school fees, boarding, textbooks and uniforms.
We have reached a new agreement with ASUU, providing for a 40% increase in academic staff remuneration and measures to improve stability in our universities.
A four-year course must take four years. Our young people deserve to complete their education on time and get on with their lives. Promise made, Promise Kept
In medical education, we are investing ₦110 billion in rehabilitating 24 medical schools. Annual nursing enrolment has increased from 28,000 to 115,000, while medical and dental enrolment has risen from 5,000 to 12,000.
Nigeria needs more doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals, and we must build the capacity to train them here at home.
Over one million children who were previously out of school have been returned to learning. We are investing in teacher development, expanding educational opportunities for girls, and implementing a new national curriculum that restores Nigerian History to our classrooms.
Our children must know where we have come from, understand the country they belong to, and be prepared to take responsibility for its future.
I commend the Honourable Minister of Education, Dr Tunji Alausa @DrTunjiAlausa, the Minister of State, Professor Suwaiba Sa’id Ahmad @Suwaiba_Said, and the entire education team @NigEducation for their dedication to this important work.
I am particularly pleased that the team has developed an interactive A–Z of the Nigeria Education Sector Renewal Initiative (NESRI), bringing together the reforms, programmes, achievements and opportunities across our education system.
I invite every Nigerian to visit edu4pbat.ng and explore the A–Z of NESRI.
If you are a parent, find out what opportunities are available for your children. If you are a student, explore the programmes you can benefit from. If you are a teacher, see what support is available.
And if something is not working as it should in your community, I want to hear about it. Your feedback will help us identify problems and address them.
Our journey from reform to opportunities and shared prosperity must begin with education.
The circumstances of a child’s birth should never determine the limits of their ambition. Our responsibility is to give every Nigerian child a fair chance to fulfil their potential.
We have more work to do, and I am determined to see it through.
Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR
President
Interesting, I'm also very particular about the apprehension of the hacker and recovery of the funds since the location, devices and IP seem to have been determined.
North Korea stole $6.3 billion from Binance by inviting one of its engineers to a job interview at a company that didn't exist.
And the guy didn't even have access to the money.
It took them five months and two separate hacks to pull this off.
Back in June, an engineer on Binance's wallet team went looking for an AI tool and installed a tampered Homebrew package. Binance caught it, swapped the laptop and reset the passwords. Problem solved, they figured. Except by then the attackers already knew who worked on that team and what each person did.
So they went recruiting.
In September a different Binance engineer got a message on a real job site from someone calling himself a project director. First round was a video call with a fake HR person, who even shared a social media account full of personal photos so the whole thing felt legit. Second round was with the "CEO," who told him to download a coding assignment onto his work computer. It was loaded with malware nobody had seen before, and Binance's security software missed it completely.
Then they waited. On October 20 they used his laptop plus one of Binance's own internal AI tools to get onto two wallet engineers' computers, and one of those engineers had permission to spin up new code on Binance's systems. Nine days later the attackers did exactly that. They ran a script and used an Ethereum feature called EIP-7702 to hand themselves control of a hot wallet, one of the wallets Binance keeps online to process withdrawals. Money started pouring out at 8:05pm UTC.
It took Binance four hours to stop it, which works out to more than $25 million a minute.
And it took that long because of a safety feature. Binance splits the signing power on those wallets into pieces held by different parties, so no single employee can ever drain one alone. That sounds great until something goes wrong, because it also meant nobody could hit the off switch on their own.
For context, the previous record was Bybit's $1.5 billion in February 2025, also North Korea. This one is four times bigger. Binance has already refilled about 98% of it out of its own pocket and says customers won't lose a cent.
Binance says it blocked 57 suspected North Korean attacks this year, and the one that got through started with a guy who just wanted a new job.
On state police; such a momentous and remarkable time to be alive.
Another time to recall the audacity and audacity of Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Who remembers this night in 2007 ❤️
Remember the boss telling us after game… “You’re fortunate to get a night like this”

Something to learn right here.
A smart and wealthy friend recently asked me for advice on an important decision:
Who should he appoint as CEO of his flagship company:
a top-performing sales executive or a top finance executive?
I asked to see the company's financial statements for the past three years so I could make an informed recommendation.
He declined.
He said he wasn't prepared to share that much information and that I should simply give him my best advice based on what I knew.
So I gave him a simple framework:
1. If the company is doing well, with a healthy market share, growing revenue, consistent profitability, and a stable business, appoint the finance executive as CEO.
The priority at this stage is financial discipline, operational efficiency, protecting margins, and sustaining profitable growth.
2. If the company is struggling, with unstable revenue, declining profits, and market share under threat, appoint the sales executive as CEO.
The immediate priority is to win customers, drive revenue, regain market share, and restore growth.
My friend took the advice and has since acted on it.
I have obtained his permission to share this story.
Time will tell if we are right.
My man @obonodiaug e pele o, your man don go come 2028 😂
You see how everyone agrees he's been terrible right?
2800 MW electricity available to over 250m Nigerians especially in this extremely hot period.
The opposition is abysmal because why is this not a talking point than the jejune talks on fuel subsidy and other discussions.
Truly this administration has failed woefully on Power.
Power has been so horrible in the last few weeks.
If you call @NERCNG , they’ll tell you to call @lasercng .
But see what @EKEDP & @IkejaElectric are currently getting from the grid.
See total ffs!!!
This Admin has totally failed on power, situation is worse than 2023.

A hack of this scale means serious security failures occurred. No platform is unhackable, but that cannot be an excuse. Every incident exposes weaknesses that should have been prevented.
Some details are embarrassing. Public explanations also simplify what appears to have been a prolonged multi month/year attack targeting hundreds of employees and systems, with a few ultimately compromised.
Sharing those details, however uncomfortable, helps the wider industry learn.
As a shareholder, I expect Binance to be transparent about what went wrong, take responsibility, learn from all criticism, and make meaningful improvements. 🙏
Thanks @binance for sharing all these details. Incredibly helpful to the entire industry.
Manufacturing! Manufacturing!! Manufacturing!!!
Nigeria is rising.
Afreximbank first gave Veenocks just $2 million in August 2024, only to study the project.
Those studies changed the plan. Veenocks went from focusing mainly on Nigeria to targeting eight African markets, and that opened the door to the bigger money.
The 2024 plan was a $117 million plant producing 6.6 million m² of tiles a year. Now it’s a $145 million project, backed by an $81.9 million loan, to take output from 3.3 million to 9.9 million m².
Their tiles sell under the Veramis brand and absorb 0.3% water or less. The international standard for porcelain is 0.5%.
Small money to study. Big money to build.

Sir Kessington Adebutu's (Baba Ijebu) son, Adebisi Adebutu, has secured $81.9 million in financing to nearly triple porcelain tile production in Nigeria.
Afreximbank has approved the senior term loan for Veenocks Limited, founded by Adebisi Abidemi Adebutu, to support a $145 million expansion of its manufacturing plant in Sagamu, Ogun State.
The investment will increase annual production capacity from 3.3 million to 9.9 million square meters, while creating 300 additional direct jobs on top of the more than 200 employees already working at the facility
The expansion also aims to reduce Nigeria's dependence on imported building materials, increase the use of locally sourced raw materials and position Veenocks as a major supplier to African markets.
Adebisi Adebutu, who heads R28 Holdings, is seeking to build a globally competitive Nigerian manufacturer capable of meeting European quality standards.

The first mistake was that this picture ought not to have been taken, the second and graver mistake was allowing it to be published by PYO's media team.
It is difficult to argue that it wasn't aimed at pushing a narrative, but in the end, tioluwase.
Akabi Asiwaju, eniolorunida.
What reforms look like.
When it is time for inanities, gists and gossips our noisy neighbours can be allowed into the arena whilst we take the exit.
Back at this 😂😂😂
Man should have just stuck with acting but more poorly is Atiku's sense of judgement by appointing him as his campaign spokesperson.
Now he's turned a caricature 😃
