 STATEHOUSE PRESS STATEMENT PRESIDENT TINUBU'S MESSAGE OF CONDOLENCE TO CHIMAMANDA ADICHIE AND HER FAMILY   With a deep sense of grief, I condole with Ms Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, her husband, Dr Ivara Esege, and the entire family on the passing of their son, Nkanu Nnamdi.   As a parent myself who has suffered the loss of a loved one, no grief is as devastating as losing a child.   I empathise with the family at this difficult time, and I mourn this sad loss with them.   Ms Adichie is a literary icon who has brought joy and light to many homes globally, and I pray she and her family find strength in the Almighty in this trying hour.   My prayers are with the family.   Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces Federal Republic of Nigeria January 8, 2026

 Deputy Senate President Launches ₦2.79bn Loan Scheme for North-West Farmers


The Deputy Senate President, Jibrin Barau, has introduced a ₦2.79 billion loan initiative aimed at empowering farmers across the 186 Local Government Areas in the seven North-West states.


Speaking in Abuja on Thursday, Barau—who represents Kano North Senatorial District—stated that the programme seeks to create 558 young farmer millionaires in the region.


Under the "Barau Initiative for Agricultural Revolution in the North-West (BIARN)", three farmers will be selected from each LGA across Kaduna, Kano, Katsina, Kebbi, Jigawa, Sokoto, and Zamfara. Beneficiaries will receive an interest-free ₦5 million loan to invest in farming, with the initiative set to begin in April 2025.


Barau, represented by his Special Adviser on Policy and Monitoring, Prof. Bashir Fagge, emphasized that the scheme aims to restore the North-West’s agricultural prominence, ensuring food security and economic growth.


He noted that the Barau I Jibrin Foundation (BIJF) is partnering with a national financial institution to implement the programme, which will focus on maize and rice cultivation to boost food production and lower food prices.


Fagge added that the initiative is designed to empower youth with agricultural expertise, fostering long-term sustainability in the region’s farming sector.
