 The credibility of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) voters’ register has come under intense scrutiny ahead of the 2027 general elections, following revelations by INEC Chairman Professor Joash Amupitan that names of deceased persons remain on the register. Amupitan disclosed that names of voters who died as far back as 15 years ago are still listed, a situation critics say could undermine the integrity of the 2027 polls and lead to significant financial waste through the printing of excess ballot papers and other election logistics. The INEC chairman made the revelation while receiving the Director-General/Chief Executive Officer of the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC), Abisoye Coker-Odusote, and her management team during a courtesy visit in Abuja on Wednesday. Amupitan announced that INEC has entered into a partnership with NIMC to deliver a credible voters’ register and transparent elections. He said INEC would leverage NIMC’s robust data archi...

PRESIDENT TINUBU RECEIVES PROF. ADEMOLA ADENLE, WINNER OF THE INAUGURAL GLOBAL M.S. SWAMINATHAN AWARD FOR FOOD AND PEACE


President Bola Ahmed Tinubu today received Professor Ademola Adenle, a Nigerian scholar and sustainability expert who recently won the inaugural World Academy of Sciences–M.S. Swaminathan Award for Food and Peace.


 


President Tinubu congratulated Adenle for winning the award and for bringing glory to Nigeria.


 


He commended him for his work in the fields of agricultural innovation policy, biosciences, renewable energy, and public health, which focuses on sustainable solutions for rural and marginalised populations across Africa and beyond.


 


The meeting was attended by the Minister of Agriculture and Food Security, Senator Abubakar Kyari (CON).


 


Professor Adenle made history as the first-ever recipient of this prestigious global honour, presented by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on August 7, 2025, during the M.S. Swaminathan Centenary International Conference in New Delhi, India.


 


Widely described as a "mini Nobel Peace Prize", the award was established by The World Academy of Sciences (TWAS) in memory of the late Professor M.S. Swaminathan, the legendary agricultural scientist known as the "Father of India's Green Revolution." His pioneering work revolutionised India's food systems and inspired generations of scientists across the developing world.


 


Professor Adenle, who currently serves as Senior Special Adviser on Agricultural Innovation in Nigeria's Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security, was recognised for his outstanding contributions to food security, climate justice, and the empowerment of vulnerable communities.


 


Prof. Adenle said he would soon launch the Women in Biosciences Initiative, which aims to enhance rural agricultural productivity through training, entrepreneurship, and innovation.


 


The program will also address malnutrition and waterborne diseases, and promote the adoption of renewable energy, particularly solar power, to reduce energy poverty. The initiative will be implemented in collaboration with the M.S. Swaminathan Research Foundation across Africa and Asia, extending Professor Swaminathan's enduring legacy of combining science with social equity.


 


The M.S. Swaminathan Award for Food and Peace recognises individuals from developing countries who have made transformative contributions to food security, sustainable agriculture, and peacebuilding.


 


In his address at the award ceremony, Prime Minister Modi praised Professor Adenle as "a beacon of hope" for his dedication to addressing humanity's most pressing challenges.
