Nigerians in Diaspora Hail Tinubu, Keyamo's Giant Strides in First Year




Nigerians in the diaspora have commended President Bola Tinubu and Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, for their remarkable achievements in their first year in office.

In a statement released on Wednesday, the Nigerians in Diaspora Monitoring Group (United Kingdom) praised the duo for their visionary leadership and commitment to transforming Nigeria's aviation sector.

The statement signed by its coordinator Adeka Oche hailed President Tinubu for demonstrating unwavering dedication to the progress and prosperity of Nigeria.

Oche said under Tinubu’s visionary leadership, the nation has witnessed significant strides in various sectors, including infrastructure development, economic growth, and social welfare.

The group also commended the administration's efforts in the aviation sector which have resulted in significant improvements in airport infrastructure, air travel safety, and ease of doing business.

Specifically, they highlighted the support for local airlines, resolution of trapped funds, open sky operations and the introduction of safety policies in line with best practices as the notable achievements.

The group also commended Keyamo's efforts to engage with stakeholders and promote international cooperation, leading to increased collaboration with global aviation bodies and investments in the sector.

“ Keyamo has been at the forefront of transforming the Nigerian aviation sector. He has worked towards overcoming the challenges and obstacles that have plagued the industry, such as tales of evil spirits and systemic failure,” the statement said n

“Keyamo has successfully resolved trapped funds belonging to foreign airlines, thanks to collaborative efforts with the Central Bank of Nigeria and the Ministry of Finance. This achievement has had a positive impact on the aviation sector and has helped build trust and confidence among foreign airlines.

“Keyamo’s focus has been on supporting local airlines and maximizing Nigeria’s reciprocal rights under international agreements, such as the BASA agreement. This support has contributed to the growth and development of local airlines in Nigeria. His support for our indigenous flight carriers to start international operations has been so commendable.

“Keyamo has facilitated open sky operations with the United States, allowing for unrestricted flights, and deployment of various aircraft to multiple destinations. This has opened up new opportunities for the Nigerian aviation sector and has strengthened international connectivity.

“As members of the Nigerian community in diaspora, it is incumbent upon us to continue our support for the progress and development of our beloved country, because, as democracy is not a spectator sport, but a participatory endeavour, we must all take an active role in shaping our nation’s future irrespective of where we reside.”

Court Sets Aside Arrest, Remand, Wanted Declaration Against Hammed Tajudeen Akanbi

A Magistrate Court sitting in Ogba, Ikeja, Lagos, has set aside its earlier ex-parte order authorizing the arrest, remand, and “wanted” declaration of Hammed Tajudeen Akanbi, also known as Hammed Ajiran. The development follows the earlier declaration of Akanbi as wanted for alleged multiple murder by the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Moshood Olorundare Jimoh, on February 19, 2026. However, in a ruling delivered today, Magistrate L.A. Owolabi of Magistrate Court 3 nullified the ex-parte order initially granted on February 16, 2026. In his decision, Magistrate Owolabi held that the order was obtained through the concealment of material facts. The court specifically noted that the counsel who filed and argued the application, Nosa Watson Uhumwangho, was under suspension by the Legal Practitioners Disciplinary Committee at the time and therefore lacked the right of audience before the court. The ruling sparked jubilation among members of the youth wing of the Ojomu royal family, who...

Court Cautions Police, Orders Proper Invitation of Hammed Tajudeen Akanbi

A Lagos State Magistrate Court has cautioned the Lagos State Police Command and directed that proper procedures be followed in the handling of the case involving Mr. Hammed Tajudeen Akanbi, also known as Hammed Ajiran, in what is seen as a setback for individuals including Bashir Fakorede, Jide Akinloye, and Assistant Inspector-General of Police, AIG Jimoh Moshood. Presiding over proceedings in the Ogba Magisterial District, Magistrate A. J. Odueke, in Charge No: MISC/126/2026, held that the police must formally invite Akanbi rather than declare him wanted. The Court further stated that an order for arrest would only be considered if he fails to honour such an invitation. The Court noted that it was mindful of previous proceedings in Charge No: MCIK/60A/2026, where a similar application had earlier been set aside by another Magistrate on March 23, 2026, on the grounds of illegality. Consequently, the Court declined to entertain what it described as a repetition of a defective process. ...
