 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

 Why Oyo ranked third in VAT contribution to FG, by commissioner


Oyo State Commissioner for Information and Orientation, Prince Dotun Oyelade, has attributed the state’s impressive ranking as the third-highest contributor to Value Added Tax (VAT) among Nigeria’s 36 states and the FCT to strategic economic policies and the right stimulus.

Speaking on an Ibadan-based radio station over the weekend, Oyelade noted that despite the absence of seaports and a relatively modest Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) of ₦5 billion—compared to Lagos’ ₦65 billion—Oyo State has defied expectations by securing its position in VAT contributions.

He said: “Governor Seyi Makinde stimulates the economy by pumping ₦6.4 billion into the state economy on the 25th day of every month for almost five years, which culminates in over ₦77 billion every year to the state workforce.

“Of course, that figure has changed this January 2025, with the payment of ₦80,000 minimum wage, resulting in ₦12 billion per month and ₦143 billion annually.

“The consistency of these salaries and wages not only allows the over 130,000 government workers, the largest government workforce in the Southwest, to plan their lives, it also allows farmers and produce buyers to bring their foodstuffs to the markets on good roads and with sufficient confidence that they will sell out their goods.

“The sheer consistency of salary payments on a given day has upgraded commerce and opened up patronages for artisans of different persuasions.”

The commissioner also said the increase in Real Estate sector and gospitality businesses that has attracted an influx of investors into Oyo State is also stimulating the economy.

He recalled that between May 2019 and May 2024, hospitality centres in Oyo State increased from 1,424 to 5,342, which represents a 221 percent rise.

Prince Oyelade noted that investors apart, the surge of families who are resettling in Oyo State as a result of better infrastructure, space, good roads and affordable standard of living are also impacting on the stimulation of the economy of the State.

“In the VAT 2024 release, the Southwest contributed the largest amount of ₦3.11 trillion in VAT to the federation while the South South came second with ₦1.08 trillion.

“Of the ₦3.11 trillion contributed by the South-West, Oyo State contributed ₦272.41 billion”, he said.
