  The Coalition of APC Progressive Youths has made a passionate appeal to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to consider the appointment of Hon. Nasir Jaoji as a federal minister, describing him as "useful, resourceful, and far ahead of all current federal appointees from Kano State." In a statement issued in Kaduna, the coalition praised Jaoji as a renowned and respected youth leader of great substance, whose impact and contributions to humanity have resonated well beyond Kano State, his home state.  According to the group, Jaoji’s record in philanthropy, education, and grassroots mobilisation stands as a rare example of committed service to both community and country. “We, as progressive youths of the All Progressives Congress, have come to a consensus that Hon. Nasir Jaoji represents the kind of dynamic leadership this administration needs. If it takes replacing a current appointee from Kano to make room for Jaoji, so be it,” the statement read.

Some regarded the situation to be re-birth of APC in Kano. Some defined the...

Posted by Suhaib Auwal  As Alhaji Aminu Dantata, CON, OFR, is remembered on the 7th day of his passing, I join millions across Nigeria and the international community in mourning the loss of a rare gem — an elder statesman, renowned philanthropist, and devout Muslim. Alhaji Aminu Dantata was not just a towering figure in Nigeria’s economic and social landscape, but a symbol of humility, compassion, and moral rectitude. He lived a life anchored on the fear of Allah, guided by deep faith, and devoted to lifting others—regardless of tribe, region, or religion. His philanthropic footprint touched the lives of countless people, both within Nigeria and far beyond our borders. From education to healthcare, from community development to religious support, his generosity was boundless, sincere, and transformative. To the people of Kano, he was not just a businessman or elder statesman—he was Baba, a father to the fatherless, a provider to the needy, and a beacon of hope to the hopeless. His...
