Tinubu: At 65, While We Haven’t Achieved All Lofty Dreams of Our Forebears, We Haven’t Strayed Too Far from Them
President Bola Tinubu has said that Nigeria may not have achieved all the lofty goals of its founding fathers, it has not strayed too far from those goals.
Addressing the nation in a national broadcast, on Wednesday morning, to mark the 65th independence anniversary, President Tinubu said even though the promise of independence had been tested by profound social, economic, and political challenges, the nation has made tremendous progress in economic growth, social cohesion, and physical development.
He said: “For decades, the promise of our Independence has been tested by profound social, economic, and political challenges, and we have survived. While we may not have achieved all the lofty dreams of our forebearers, we have not strayed too far from them. In 65 years since our Independence, we have made tremendous progress in economic growth, social cohesion, and physical development. Our economy has experienced significant growth since 1960.
“Although, it is much easier for those whose vocation is to focus solely on what ought to be, we must recognise and celebrate our significant progress. Nigerians today have access to better education and healthcare than in 1960. At Independence, Nigeria had 120 secondary schools with a student population of about 130,000. Available data indicate that, as of year 2024, there were more than 23,000 secondary schools in our country. At Independence, we had only the University of Ibadan and Yaba College of Technology as the two tertiary institutions in Nigeria. By the end of last year, there were 274 universities, 183 Polytechnics, and 236 Colleges of Education in Nigeria, comprising Federal, State, and private institutions. We have experienced a significant surge in growth across every sector of our national life since Independence – in healthcare, infrastructure, financial services, manufacturing, telecommunications, information technology, aviation and defence, among others.
“Our country has experienced both the good and the bad times in its 65 years of nationhood, as is normal for every nation and its people. We fought a bitter and avoidable civil war, experienced military dictatorships, and lived through major political crises. In all these, we weathered every storm and overcame every challenge with courage, grit, and uncommon determination. While our system and ties that bind us are sometimes stretched by insidious forces opposed to our values and ways of life, we continue to strive to build a more perfect union where every Nigerian can find better accommodation and find purpose and fulfilment.”

Court suspends 2025/2026 admissions in UNILAG, OAU
The Federal High Court sitting in Enugu has ordered the University of Lagos, UNILAG, Obafemi Awolowo University, OAU, and the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, to suspend all admission processes for the 2025/2026 academic session.
An education technology expert and the Chief Executive Officer of Educare, Alex Onyia, posted the court order on his X handle on Tuesday.
The order was issued by Justice A.T. Segun-Bello on Tuesday, following an ex-parte motion filed by a group of candidates, Chibuzor Success, Oyeleye Zainab Ayomide, Adedeji John Samuel, Monsura Aliat Aduragbem, and Bassey Daniel Nsikak, on behalf of other affected applicants of the 2025 post-UTME examinations of both universities.
The applicants had sought interim injunctions restraining the institutions and JAMB from releasing, approving, uploading, or finalizing any admission list for the new session.
While ruling on the application, Justice Segun-Bello held that there was a “veritable and triable issue” requiring both sides to be heard and directed the applicants to put the respondents on notice.
The judge further ordered all parties to maintain the status quo, preserving the current state of affairs regarding the 2025/2026 admission list, pending the hearing of the substantive motion.
The case was adjourned to October 28, 2025, for hearing.

Be Productive, Patronise Made-in-Nigeria Goods, Tinubu Calls on Nigerians
President Bola Tinubu has called on Nigerians to be productive, innovative and enterprising.
Speaking in a national broadcast to celebrate the country’s Independence anniversary on Wednesday, the president admonished Nigerians to be producers and not consumers.
He urged Nigerians to embark on farming and build factories, patronise ‘made-in-Nigeria’ goods and pay “our taxes”.
The president said: “The Federal Government will continue to do its part to fix the plumbing in our economy. Now, we must all turn on the taps of productivity, innovation and enterprise, just like the Ministry of Interior has done with our travel passports, by quickening the processing.
“In this regard, I urge the sub-national entities to join us in nation-building. Let us be a nation of producers, not just consumers. Let us farm our land and build factories to process our produce. Let us patronise ‘Made-in-Nigeria’ goods. I say Nigeria first. Let us pay our taxes.”

Ikpeazu dismisses reported death sentence
Former Governor of Abia State, Okezie Ikpeazu, has reacted to viral reports circulating on social media that he was sentenced to death by hanging for allegedly stealing N1 trillion during his tenure.
The news claimed that the former Abia Governor was sentenced to death by hanging by an Abia State High Court after money was found in his secret foreign account.
But speaking in an interview with ABN TV on Tuesday, Ikpeazu dismissed the claims as laughable and mischievous, insisting that the entire story was fabricated to mislead the public.
“This is not news, it is laughable,” Ikpeazu told ABN.
Also reacting to the report, former Commissioner for Information in Abia State, John Okiyi Kalu described it as hate speech and urged the DSS to fish out those behind it.
Okiyi Kalu also claimed that the fake news was a cyber crime committed by people working for “Otti”, adding that similar fake news was recently published against Ikpeazu and credited to a popular Nigerian music star.
But responding to the claims by John Okiyi Kalu, the Special Adviser to Governor Alex Otti on Media and Publicity, Ferdinand distanced Governor Otti from the fake news, cautioning the former Commissioner against using the name of Governor Otti to gain financial favour from Ex-Governor Ikpeazu.
Ekeoma, who reacted through his official Facebook page, said that his principal could not have sponsored anyone to publish such a fake report.
“It is laughable to imagine that Governor Otti who played the most responsible and decent opposition politics in the history of Abia State would sponsor anyone to allege that the former Governor was sentenced to death for alleged corruption.
“What would Governor Otti stand to gain from such a rubbish report?” Ekeoma asked.
