I took profound issue with the panel discussions on Rural Industrialisation Indaba 2026 at the ongoing ZITF Company today which ostensibly focused on the commendable goal of enhancing rural livelihoods through industrial initiatives. However, the conspicuous omission of key stakeholders, including Chiefs and other traditional leaders, from these dialogues...

Dear Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour As opposed to the repeated criticisms and remarks directed at my person by a few irrelevant individuals, I take your own clarification as confirmation that there is no issue with being addressed by any of the names you have now personally identified. Fair enough! Since assuming office as Commissioner for the Environment and Water Resources in 2023, we have introduced and implemented several far-reaching initiatives aimed at improving environmental sustainability and public welfare in Lagos State. These include the execution of Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) with international partners, the prohibition of materials that obstruct drainage channels, the removal of illegal structures and contraventions impeding the free flow of stormwater, among many other interventions. Of course, we agree that more still needs to be done, and we remain committed to continuously improving our systems, processes, and interventions to better serve the people while we welcome constructive contributions and feedback from well-meaning Lagosians, whose insights play an important role in helping us achieve our shared vision for a cleaner, safer, and more sustainable state. Interestingly, at virtually every stage of these reforms, you have consistently found reasons to oppose or criticize them, even when they have received broad commendation from stakeholders and objective observers. This approach mirrors the exact disposition of your political mentor. For the record, several of the MoUs signed by the Lagos State Government are at the implementation stages, and in the coming weeks, Lagosians will begin to witness tangible outcomes from these strategic partnerships. We are confident that these initiatives will deliver significant benefits to the state and its residents. Constructive criticism remains an important part of public discourse. However, it is equally important to acknowledge progress and commend worthwhile initiatives when they yield positive results. A balanced perspective serves the public interest far better than perpetual cynicism. Aburo, come down from your imaginary high horse. There is so much to learn, and to learn, you must be humble enough to acknowledge and admit your usual ignorance. Cheers!

Today, important negotiations took place in Washington. We discussed many issues with President Trump. It was a long and detailed conversation, including discussions about the situation on the battlefield and our steps to bring peace closer. There were also several meetings in a format with European leaders and the President of the United States. We discussed security guarantees. This is a key issue, a starting point towards ending the war. We appreciate the important signal from the United States regarding its readiness to support and be part of these guarantees. A lot of attention today was given to the return of our children, to the release of prisoners of war and civilians held by Russia. We agreed to work on this. The U.S. President also supported a meeting at the level of leaders. Such a meeting is necessary to resolve sensitive issues. I thank President Trump for the invitation and for today’s special format of our meeting. I also thank all the leaders who were with us today: Emmanuel Macron, Keir Starmer, Friedrich Merz, Giorgia Meloni, Alexander Stubb, Ursula von der Leyen, Mark Rutte. Today was an important step, a demonstration of genuine unity between Europe and the United States. The leaders personally came to support Ukraine and to discuss everything that will bring us closer to real peace, to a reliable security architecture that will protect Ukraine and all of Europe. We continue our work, coordinating our steps with all allies who strive to end this war with dignity. I thank everyone who is helping.
