NEW NIGERIA PROJECT AND VISION TAGGED: NIGERIA MUST RISE AGAIN – BY NEW NIGERIA MOVERS.
INTRODUCTION
Overcoming mass killings and incessant waste of human life and property, divided interest, divided spirit, cruelty, enmity, hostility and hatred, class, cultural and political disharmony in our country will require building up institutions around us that will improve safety, fellowship, our union and relationship. Fellowship is one of the key elements to national progress and development. It occurs when citizens share their views together in an atmosphere of love and respect, and everyone communicates with one another in love for the progress of the country.
Since 1960, Nigerians are free from colonial masters and rule. However, we have continued to wax stronger in criticising and condemning one another, uplifting and magnifying the section of the country or tribe we come from. We all know that Nigeria is a constitution of many tribes in one nation. Therefore, the concern of every citizen should be the unification and meeting point of all the tribes without collision, but instead we keep criticising and condemning one another. How Nigeria can be fully united or integrated should be the concern of all and sundry. Building institutions around us that will knit us together, unite us, foster deeper love and effective communication, promote economic growth and political stability is the sense about new Nigeria project and vision tagged NIGERIA MUST RISE AGAIN. These include:
1. BUILDING INSTITUTIONS FOR BROTHERLY LOVE AND CARE, GIVING, HOSPITALITY, SHARING AND DARING – BY NEW NIGERIA MOVERS
It is true that we live together, intermarry, transact business together, work in the same office and play games together. Also, it is true that we go to the same church or mosque, worship or call on the same God, but there is no mutual love and trust. We behave as people of different foreign nationalities living in a particular country in matters of national interest because we have divided mind against one another.
The oil of love must be kept afresh as of the day of our fathers. Love is friendship set on motion. It is a strong binding force that magnetises people together regardless of tribe or tongue, and compelling them to make sacrifices for one another without any ulterior motive for gain or aggradisement. There is need to build up institutions around us that will enhance brotherly love and care, giving, hospitality, serving, sharing and daring for one another.
2. BUILDING SYSTEMIC AND LASTING STRUCTURE THAT WILL PROMOTE CULTURE AND LANGUAGE.
Culture has the power to stabilize or destabilize, reform and deform a nation and people. However, the more we go deep in relationship with one another, the more we become united. Where love is no room is too small. Love has no scale for tribe, race, state of origin, class or religion. It is time to build up institutions, systemic and lasting structures around us that will improve safety of life and property, stabilize our relationship and union, economy and democracy, and make our country grow to a state of excellence, such that we can commit into the hands of our children now and later.
3. BUILDING INSTITUTIONS TO CATER FOR THE AGED AND RETIRED PARENTS AND GRANDPARENTS
The retirement age is sixty (60) years or thirty five (35) years of meritorious service as the case may be. Since they are no longer in active service or because they have been cut off from working environment, they are proned to body weakness, loneliness, stress, sicknesses and diseases. Thus, they need adequate care or attention from the government, individuals, and organisations. Building institutions that will make life easy, comfortable, affordable and enjoyable for the aged and retired parents and grandparents are very important.
4. BUILDING INSTITUTIONS FOR SAFETY OF LIFE AND LIVING OR PROPERTY – BY NEW NIGERIA MOVERS
The biggest challenge in today’s Nigeria is that of insecurity of life and living or property.
i. Terrorists are unleashing their fury and anger on our people, villages and communities with impunity.
ii. Bloodshed has become so rampant in our country and graphics of gruesome killings of innocent people are increasing.
iii. Kidnappings for huge ransoms are the order of things
iv. Armed bandits are terrorising families, killing and carting away their belongings.
v. Fatal accidents on our roads almost on daily basis.
vi. Buildings are collapsing claiming several lives.
vii. Industries are folding up causing many workers to lose their jobs.
There is need to build institutions around us that will guarantee safety of lives and property.
5. BUILDING INSTITUTIONS FOR FREE, FAIR AND CREDIBLE ELECTION, ELECTORAL PROCESS AND CANDIDATE
Democracy since 1999 has not yielded tangible results because we have not taken election and electoral process, electioneering campaigns and promises seriously. Greed, over-ambition, and desperation, bribery and corruption, rigging, thuggery, violence and wanton destruction of life and property, etc. are common. The desire to grab-it-all, and at all costs; the desire to become president, governor, senator, etc. at all costs is demonic. There is need to build up institutions around us that will stop that demonic nonsense.
5. BUILDING INSTITUTIONS FOR ECONOMIC GROWTH AND INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT
The condition of things at both private and public sector is alarming.
i. Both the private and public sector is in difficult time characterised by bribery and corruption, fraud, stealing, duping, extorting, exploiting, insecurity, poor electricity supply, bankruptcy, etc.
ii. Quite a lot of companies are distressed not because they are not competent nor having competent staff, but because they refuse to compromise standard or play along with the ruling party and government officials.
iii. Also, so many workers are going through poverty and neglect, frustration and victimisation in their office or place of work not because they are incompetent, but because they have refused to compromise their faith and belief, or ethics of their profession.
Thus, there is need to build up institutions around us that will promote sincerity, accountability, and transparency, dedication and devotion to duty.
HIGHLIGHTS OF NEW NIGERIA PROJECT AND VISION TAGGED NIGERIA MUST RISE AGAIN.
1. COMMONWEALTH SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT
Leaders and followers are one team. A leader is incapable of doing his job effectively without a good system; and it is difficult for the team to move forward with their set goals without a good system of government. The system of government is very important and so powerful in the sense that it determines the rate of progress and development, and for how long a country can be together. If any country should pay no attention to its system of government, it is not a country like Nigeria with diverse ethnic nationalities. Politically, It is the system of government that fosters leadership and followership relationship effectively. When the system of government is defective, it affects leadership and governance.
2. New Nigeria Movers Boys’ And Girls’ Squad.
Because of the deplorable situation of the country, and the chaotic conditions of living, and the role of family in nation building, it is imperative to address leadership commencing from family to the office. One way to secure a better future for our great country is to train our young ones. A child who is well trained today would become a great asset for the country tomorrow.
So many of our children today are out of school and control of parents and guardians. A lot of parents and guardians can no longer exercise control over their children. Quite a number of them are just roaming about the streets aimlessly. Uncountable number of them are engaged in all sorts of crimes and criminal activities. Effective child and leadership training would involve a new Nigeria squad to build, nurture and train the younger ones from childhood to adulthood. This is the sense in New Nigeria Movers Boys’andGirls’Squad.
3. Youth As Carriers Of Legacies
Leadership and followership are intertwined, with leaders guiding and inspiring their followers, while the followers supporting and contributing to a shared vision. Both roles being crucial for continuity and succession. Lack of upright, reliable and genuine national leaders at all levels of government today is a pressing concern. Despite numerous law enforcement agencies and institutions, love and care, honesty, accountability and transparency, and safety are lacking. Dearth of national leadership is evident in the lives of those leading the country characterised by insincerity, lack of accountability and transparency, hatred, cruelty, enmity, hostility, stealing and embezzlement, etc. It is imperative to address the ugly situation by putting in place a new political order for succession and continuity. Youths as carriers of legacies have been largely neglected in the affairs of governance and study of leadership. An omission to be addressed.
FRSC@ 38: SHEHU MOHAMMED STEERING NIGERIA’S ROAD SAFETY REVOLUTION TO GREATER HEIGHTS
By Deputy Corps Marshal Bisi Kazeem (Rtd) fsi, MNIM, anipr
When Mallam Shehu Mohammed assumed leadership as Corps Marshal of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), he inherited not just an institution with history, but a national mandate that touches every family, every highway, and every community in Nigeria. At 38 years, the Corps stands tall as Africa’s model road safety agency, and under his stewardship, that legacy is not merely preserved, it is being boldly redefined.
Nigeria’s highways were once synonymous with fear. Before 1988, the World Health Organisation ranked Nigeria among the most dangerous countries in the world to drive. It was a troubling indictment that demanded courage and clarity of purpose. The establishment of the FRSC under Decree No. 45 of 1988 laid the foundation for reform. But sustaining and advancing that reform across decades requires visionary leadership, the kind now exemplified by Mallam Shehu Mohammed.
Today, under his command, the Corps is consolidating its position as one of the most technologically advanced and operationally efficient law enforcement institutions in Nigeria. With renewed strategic focus, the present leadership has deepened the Safe Systems Approach built on people, processes, and technology, ensuring that safety interventions are not reactive, but preventive and intelligence-driven.
One of the defining hallmarks of his administration is accelerated digital transformation. Within six months, over 3,000 personnel were trained to strengthen operational competence and technological adaptability. More than 95 per cent of the Corps’ administrative and operational processes are automated, supported by over 30 web-based applications that enhance traffic governance nationwide. From the National Crash Reporting Information System (NACRIS) to the upgraded e-ticketing platform, innovation is no longer optional; it is institutional culture.
Emergency response under the current Corps Marshal has become faster and more coordinated, with nationwide response time reduced dramatically from 50 minutes to 15 minutes. The 122 toll-free emergency line and 24-hour National Call Centre continue to serve as lifelines for distressed road users, reflecting a leadership that understands that every second counts.
Strategic stakeholder engagement has equally flourished. Safe corridor initiatives have been strengthened, collaboration with transport unions intensified, and enforcement around articulated vehicles tightened. The result is a significant reduction in tanker-related crashes, a development that speaks to deliberate policy direction and disciplined implementation.
Under Mallam Shehu Mohammed’s leadership, data has become a central pillar of enforcement and planning. Through strengthened collaboration with the National Identity Management Commission, the National Bureau of Statistics, and the Nigeria Customs Service, the Corps has advanced harmonized data systems that support evidence-based interventions. Transparent weekly crash trend reporting now guides targeted deployment and corrective strategies.
Nigeria’s standing on the global stage has also been reinforced. The country remains an active participant in the renewed UN Decade of Action for Road Safety (2021–2030) and continues alignment with international road safety conventions. These achievements build on the solid foundation laid by past leaders from Olu Agunloye and General Haladu Hannaniya to Chief Osita Chidoka, Dr. Boboye Oyeyemi, and Dauda Ali Biu, but under the present Corps Marshal, the momentum has unmistakably intensified.
Operationally, the Corps’ footprint now spans 12 Zonal Commands, 37 Sector Commands, over 300 Unit Commands, over 700 Station Offices, 59 Zebra Emergency Ambulance Points, and presence in all 774 Local Government Areas of Nigeria. Yet beyond physical structures lies a stronger institutional spirit, one driven by discipline, professionalism, and accountability.
From a nation once ranked among the most unsafe for motorists to a continental pacesetter in road safety management, Nigeria’s transformation story is inseparable from the strength of its leadership. At 38 years, FRSC is not simply celebrating longevity; it is celebrating purposeful stewardship.
Mallam Shehu Mohammed represents a generation of reform-minded leadership committed to smarter mobility systems, data-driven enforcement, and people-centered safety administration.
His tenure reflects continuity with courage sustaining the Corps’ proud legacy while boldly steering it toward greater innovation and measurable impact.
The road ahead is demanding. But under his steady command, Nigeria’s highways are safer, its systems smarter, and its future brighter.

Introducing “Atupaglowco” : Where Fragrance Meets Feeling; The Story of Our Beginning
Introducing “Atupaglowco”: Where Fragrance Meets Feeling; The Story of Our Beginning
Every great journey begins with a sense of anticipation. For us, it began with a simple belief that a space should do more than exist, it should speak comfort and glow.
In a world filled with noise, stress, and endless motion, we realized something powerful. Fragrance can transform not just rooms, but moods. A familiar scent can calm anxiety. A warm aroma can turn a house into a home. A gentle glow can bring peace after a long day. This realization gave birth to “Atupaglowco.”
Atupaglowco was not created to sell diffusers, room sprays, or candles. It was created to create experiences. To create moments. To create atmospheres where people can breathe, reflect, and feel whole again.
The name itself represents more than a brand. It represents warmth. It represents light. It represents presence. We remember the early days, the planning, the testing of scents, the moments of doubt, and the moments of excitement. Each candle poured was a step of faith. Each fragrance blended was a piece of our vision coming to life. We weren’t just building products; we were building something meaningful.
Our diffusers were designed to quietly fill spaces with elegance.
Our room sprays were crafted to instantly refresh and revive environments. Our candles were made to bring calm, beauty, and a soft glow into everyday life.
Atupaglowco was born from passion, patience, and purpose. This launch is not just the start of a business. It is the start of a movement to help people create spaces they love. Spaces that inspire rest. Spaces that inspire joy. Spaces that glow.
We believe fragrance is personal. We believe glow is emotional. We believe every space deserves both.
Today, we proudly introduce Atupaglowco to the world.
This is only the beginning.
Ajadi Hails Oyo Speaker Ogundoyin at 39, Describes Him as Beacon of Purposeful Leadership
A leading governorship aspirant of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Oyo State, Ambassador Olufemi Ajadi Oguntoyinbo, has congratulated the Speaker of the Oyo State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Adebo Edward Ogundoyin, on the occasion of his 39th birthday, describing him as “a symbol of resilience, maturity and purposeful leadership in Nigeria’s democratic journey.”
In a congratulatory message made available to journalists on Tuesday, Ajadi praised Ogundoyin’s steady rise in public service, noting that his emergence as Speaker at a relatively young age reflects the possibilities of responsible youth leadership when combined with discipline, vision and service.
“Rt. Hon. Ogundoyin’s leadership has shown that age is not a barrier to excellence,” Ajadi said. “At 39, he stands tall as one of the most impactful Speakers in Oyo State’s history—calm, inclusive and deeply committed to democratic ideals.”
Ogundoyin, who represents Ibarapa East State Constituency under the Peoples Democratic Party, has served as Speaker since 2019 and was re-elected to lead the 10th Assembly in June 2023. His tenure has been marked by legislative stability, improved executive–legislative relations and youth-inclusive governance.
Ajadi commended the Speaker for fostering unity within the Assembly and prioritising laws that strengthen grassroots development across Oyo State. “His humility, accessibility and focus on people-oriented legislation have earned him respect beyond party lines,” he said. “He exemplifies the kind of leadership Oyo State needs—one anchored on service, accountability and progress.”
The governorship aspirant further described Ogundoyin as a rallying point for young Nigerians aspiring to public office. “In a country searching for credible leaders, Ogundoyin’s story offers hope,” Ajadi added. “He has shown that when young leaders are trusted with responsibility, they can deliver stability and results.”
Ajadi wished the Speaker many more years of good health, wisdom and greater service to Oyo State and Nigeria at large, praying that his leadership journey continues to inspire a new generation of public servants.
Ogundoyin, one of the youngest Speakers in Nigeria, has continued to attract goodwill messages from political leaders, civil society actors and constituents, as Oyo State marks another year in the life of a lawmaker widely regarded as a steady hand in the state’s legislative affairs.
