Economic diversification: all eyes on solid minerals, digital economy, by Kola Amzat
Over decades, very unsuccessful attempts have been made by the successive administrations to diversify the nation economy from oil sector. But, it’s instructive to submit that the efforts made so far have not been strategic, deliberate and profound enough, as they’ve yielded no notable and significant results. Indeed, more of those moves have ended in the realm of policy formulation,…

The year of Renewed Hope, By Fredrick Nwabufo
It has been months of bold decisions, strategic re-engineering, and studied statecraftship. The expectations effusive, the yearnings harkened, the promises certain, and the hope ever so sure. Nigeria is in planned drive under an ambidextrous and masterful pilot, President Bola Tinubu, and destined for majesty. The road has not been without a few bumps, but the journey is as exhilarating…

Justice Waziri’s bizarre remarks on Plateau PDP’s candidates in the 2023 elections, By Steve Daniel
Let me start by stating that I write not to represent any political affiliation but to critically examine the recent remarks attributed to one Justice Abdulaziz Waziri of the Court of Appeal, regarding the nullification of all People’s Democratic Party (PDP) candidates in Plateau State in the 2023 elections. These remarks, as reported by Sahara Reporters and other national media…

Bridging the gap: addressing energy poverty, inequality in Nigeria through renewable energy
Lack of electricity in Nigeria critically affects the overall development of its economy. The country has the world’s largest absolute electricity access deficit, with 45 per cent of the population (90 million) lacking access to the electricity grid, a recent World Bank report states. Large disparities exist in access to electricity between urban areas (84 per cent) and rural ones…

Portable: The reason for the season, By Bamidele Johnson
The visually-offensive Portable and Pasuma, from media reports, performed at a Celestial Church of Christ Thanksgiving event. Some way to thank and praise Jehovah Nissi, Jehovah El-Shaddai, who must have found it breathtakingly edifying to see His alleged children get drunk on music by the two musicians, one of whom is weapons-grade bonkers. But credit where due. So, thumbs up…

Wike, Fubara and the Kerfuffle in Rivers, By Simbo Olorunfemi
There has to be a greater chance that the demolition of the Rivers State House of Assembly complex might actually have something to do with failure of integrity test, as has been put out by the demolition squad, than that the kerfuffle in the state could possibly have anything to do with the good and welfare of the people. It…

Amanze Obi’s spiral of lies, By Bayo Onanuga
On Monday 11 December, I stumbled on the 6th, in the series of opinions about the last general election being peddled by Daily Sun columnist, Amanze Obi. I was shocked by the cocktail of lies and fallacies put forward by the writer, on why his candidate, Peter Obi lost the last presidential election and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu won. This…

For Buhari, the kind hearted toughie at 81, By Femi Adesina
From his days as an iron fisted military ruler, Muhammadu Buhari had cut the image of a brutal, no nonsense person, without a drop of milk of human kindness. Not so. People often condemn who or what they don’t understand. Yes, he can be reserved, aloof, unflappable, and even stern. I remember when news of Bukola Saraki’s defection, along with…
