 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

 End Of An Era: Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce Passes the Baton for the last time


Jamaican sprint legend, ten-time world champion and three-time Olympic gold medalist Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce has officially drawn the curtain on her illustrious career.


The 38-year-old confirmed that the World Championships in Tokyo, Japan, marked her final appearance on the global stage, bringing an end to nearly two decades of dominance in women’s sprinting.


In her farewell campaign, Fraser-Pryce reached the 100m final, finishing sixth in 11.03 seconds. 


She had earlier placed second in her heat (11.09) and maintained the same position in the semifinals with 11.00 seconds.


She also anchored Team Jamaica’s 4x100m relay squad, delivering a flawless opening leg that helped secure the silver medal.


Reflecting on her decision, the sprint queen said “My son needs me. My husband Jason and I have been together since before I won in Beijing 2008. He has sacrificed so much for me. We’re a partnership, a team. And it’s because of that support that I’ve been able to do the things I’ve done all these years. I think I now owe it to them to do something else.”


From the Pocket Rocket to the Sprint Queen, Fraser-Pryce’s career has redefined women’s athletics, inspiring generations and leaving behind an unmatched legacy of speed and resilience.
