President Tinubu not resting, committed to growth of Nigeria, says Aide, Khadijat Omotayo Kareem

 

The Personal Assistant to President Bola Tinubu on Constituency Affairs, Khadijat Omotayo Kareem on Monday said the President is not resting in his commitment to see to the growth of Nigeria.

Khadijat said this at a Town Hall Meeting with “Critical Stakeholders” in Lagos State held at the premises of the Lagos State Television. She had held such meetings in many other constituencies spread over the country.

The meeting, according to her, was to provide room to deliberate on challenges facing constituencies across the country and report back to the President in order to find solutions to them.

Khadijat said the President understands the importance of building infrastructure in Lagos and other parts of the country as an important springboard for development in the country, particularly Lagos as the commercial centre of Nigeria while strongly expressing the Tinubu’s commitment to completing all ongoing federal projects in Lagos State.

“President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is committed to addressing challenges facing Nigeria and Lagos State in particular.

“He promised to support projects that will enhance the quality of Lagosians as well as meet the needs of our constituencies,” she said.

She added: “The President is not resting because he wants to bring renewed hope to Nigerians.”

Khadijat assured stakeholders that every constituent in the country will get what they deserve and that their complaints will be reported back to the President.

The Chairman, Nigeria Labour Congress, Lagos Chapter, Funmi Sesi, said the stakeholders’ meeting was necessary in order to build a relationship between the government and the people.

On issues concerning Lagos and the South West, Sesi said Lagos State should be given special status by the Federal Government.

She noted that Lagos State is home to Nigerians from all parts of the country, which has caused financial strains on the state in providing public infrastructure.

She told the Personal Assistant to inform President Tinubu to embark on a massive housing scheme in the south west, build more specialized hospitals in Lagos, handover abandoned federal government property in the state to the state government, establish a food bank in Lagos, invest in agriculture in the South West as well improve transportation system in Lagos

The President, Trade Union Congress, TUC, Lagos chapter, Gbenga Ekundayo, drew the attention of the Presidential Aide to some government policies that need further fine-tuning.

He noted that some economic policies of the President have cut down the purchasing power of Nigerians and appealed to the President to ‘slow down’ on his policies.

“The President should expedite actions on the Renewed Hope Housing Scheme. He should try and win the youth to his side using sports. The President should also look into the lifestyle of political appointees, which is sending the wrong signal to Nigerians,” Ekundayo said.

On her part, the Iyaloja of Computer Village, Ikeja, Bisola Azeez, who represented the Iyaloja-General, Folasade Tinubu-Ojo lamented the lack of access to loans by traders.

“Our challenge as traders is having access to loans to augment our working capital. The real people that need the loan don’t have access to federal government loans because of too many requirements. The federal government should fashion out means traders can get loans

An activist and founder, Coalition of Oodua Self-Determination Group, Rasaq Olokooba said the President should take quick action on the formation of state police.

“Our farmers can no longer go to farm because our farms are no longer secured. The security of Yoruba land is germane. There should also be special status for Lagos State because Lagos has the highest number of residents,” he said.

Other contributors expressed worries over attitudes of political appointees who abandon their constituencies after getting into office and relocate to other areas.

They urged the president to compel politicians to live within their constituencies for the benefit of their people.

NASRE: Building A Safety Net For Nigeria’s Journalists

NASRE: Building A Safety Net For Nigeria’s Journalists

 

At a time when Nigeria’s media industry is strained by economic uncertainty, job instability, and shrinking newsroom resources, the Nigerian Association of Social and Resourceful Editors (NASRE) is redefining professional solidarity. More than a network of editors, it is emerging as a critical support system for journalists navigating an increasingly precarious landscape.

 

Founded on the principles of welfare, solidarity, and professional growth, NASRE has positioned itself as a responsive and forward-looking body within the media ecosystem. While many professional associations remain focused on advocacy and training, NASRE distinguishes itself by combining these roles with direct and practical support for journalists and their families.

 

At the core of its mission is a clear proposition that no journalist should be abandoned in times of need. Through financial assistance, targeted outreach, and sustained engagement, the association has supported members facing hardship, as well as widows and families of deceased practitioners. These largely understated interventions have steadily earned NASRE credibility and respect across the industry.

 

The organisation’s approach reflects a keen awareness of the pressures confronting media professionals, including irregular pay, job insecurity, and limited institutional backing. In such an environment, NASRE’s welfare initiatives are not merely charitable, they are essential.

 

Beyond welfare, the association is investing in professional resilience. Through collaboration, networking, and knowledge-sharing platforms, it is equipping editors and practitioners to remain competitive in a rapidly evolving digital media space, where adaptability is no longer optional.

 

Headquartered in Lagos, NASRE continues to broaden its reach, attracting a growing membership united by the need for a more responsive and supportive professional community. Its expansion signals a shift in expectations within the industry, away from symbolic affiliations towards institutions that deliver measurable value.

 

For many observers, NASRE represents a necessary evolution, a professional body anchored not just in ideals, but in impact. By combining empathy with structure, it offers a model of what media associations can become in challenging times.

 

As the industry continues to evolve, organisations like NASRE may prove indispensable. In a profession devoted to telling society’s stories, it is ensuring that the storytellers themselves are not left behind.
