Trump issues pardon to former Republican congressman Stephen Buyer after insider trading conviction    President Donald Trump has issued a full pardon to former Republican congressman Stephen Buyer, who served nearly two years in prison after being convicted of insider trading tied to post-congressional consulting work.

We are actively seeking partnerships and investments that raise living standards, and we are prepared to take the necessary steps to earn greater support, especially for infrastructure that directly affects daily life across the state.

One example is the Ease of Doing Business ranking. Four years ago, Lagos was ranked 29th nationally. Last year, we moved to first place. That did not happen by chance. It came from being more deliberate, more consistent, and more accountable in how government works".- Gov. Sanwo-Olu.
