The Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of T Pumpy Concept, Akintayo Adaralegbe has has disclosed that the company’s mega city project will create jobs, drive economic growth, and provide affordable housing for thousands of Nigerians in Abuja.

Adaralegbe disclosed this during a media briefing on Tuesday in Abuja, describing the mega city, set to be unveiled on March 1st in Nigeria’s capital, as a luxury hub that will improve global connectivity.

He guaranteed that, as part of its effort to support the federal and state governments in tackling Nigeria’s housing deficit, the mega city will be affordable for the majority of Nigerians, offering a flexible payment plan.

He stated “Set to be officially unveiled in March, the T Pumpy mega city promises to reshape the urban landscape of Abuja and address some of the city’s most pressing issues, such as the housing deficit and high unemployment rates.

According to Adaralegbe, “The mega city is more than just a residential and commercial development. It is envisioned as a luxury hub that will also enhance global connectivity and create a vibrant, prosperous community.

“This development is designed not only to provide much-needed housing for Nigerians but to serve as a catalyst for economic growth and job creation. It is a crucial project that will contribute significantly to the development of both Abuja and the nation as a whole.

“The T Pumpy mega city is set to create numerous job opportunities in various sectors, from construction to operations, retail, and other industries. This large-scale development will require a substantial workforce during both its construction and operational phases, providing employment to thousands of skilled and unskilled workers.

“Given the high unemployment rates in Nigeria, especially among youth, the creation of jobs through this project is of critical importance.

The project will offer long-term career prospects, helping to reduce unemployment and provide pathways for professional growth.
“As the mega city becomes operational, it will also attract a wide range of businesses, further expanding the job market and stimulating economic activity in the region.

The project is expected to serve as a magnet for both local and international investors, bringing much-needed investment into Abuja and Nigeria.

This influx of investment will provide a significant boost to the economy, generating revenue and creating even more opportunities for entrepreneurship and business development. The T Pumpy mega city will therefore serve as a key driver of economic growth, benefiting not only the residents but the entire country.

” Addressing the housing crisis in Nigeria is another key objective of the T Pumpy mega city. With a rapidly growing population, especially in urban areas such as Abuja, the need for affordable housing has never been greater.

The T Pumpy mega city project will provide thousands of Nigerians with access to quality, affordable homes, making homeownership a reality for many who might otherwise struggle to afford traditional housing options. The development is designed to cater to a wide range of income levels, ensuring that a diverse demographic can benefit from the project.

Adaralegbe emphasized that “by offering a flexible payment plan, the mega city will make homeownership more accessible to many Nigerians, including young professionals, first-time buyers, and families. The development will offer more than just affordable housing; it will provide a high standard of living with world-class amenities such as modern infrastructure, recreational facilities, and secure living spaces.

The mega city will be a desirable place to live, enhancing the overall quality of life for its residents and fostering a sense of community.

“The project will also prioritize social interaction and community engagement. The mega city will feature public spaces, entertainment centers, and cultural hubs that encourage residents to connect and engage with one another.

This focus on social cohesion is vital to creating a vibrant and thriving community, where individuals can come together to live, work, and play in an environment that supports their needs and aspirations.”

Amb Lion Ogorry Files Landmark Lawsuit Against Sahara Reporters, Sowore For Misleading and Malicious Publication Endangering National Security

Ambassador Adebayo Lion Ogorry, a renowned public advocacy practitioner and activist, today announced the filing of a high-profile lawsuit against Sahara Reporters Ltd. and its publisher, Omoyele Sowore, in the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.

The suit, numbered FCT/HC/CV/4767/2025, accuses the defendants of publishing a false, malicious, and reckless article that violates Nigeria’s Constitution, the Cybercrimes (Prohibition, Prevention, Etc.) Act 2015, and other laws protecting public discourse, national security, and public order.

The originating summons, filed on November 24, 2025, stems from a Sahara Reporters article titled
“EXCLUSIVE: How Tinubu’s Defence Minister Matawalle Maintains Contact With Bandit Leaders, Ordered Them To Compel Communities To Vote For APC—Former Aide,” published on November 19, 2025.

Ambassador Ogorry alleges that the publication contains grave, unfounded accusations against the Honourable Minister of State for Defence, Dr. Bello Matawalle, claiming he maintains illicit contacts with bandit leaders, orders communities to vote for the All Progressives Congress (APC), and engages in activities that undermine counter-terrorism efforts.

These claims, according to the suit, are not only false but also fabricated to incite alarm, hatred, and ill-will, while endangering national security and public safety.

In his affidavit supporting the summons, Ambassador Ogorry, a Nigerian citizen and resident of Abuja with a long-standing commitment to public order and lawful civic discourse, emphasized that the article was disseminated widely across Sahara Reporters’ website, social media channels, X.com (Twitter) account, Facebook pages, WhatsApp broadcasts, and other platforms. He described the publication as a blatant violation of Section 39(3)(a) of the 1999 Constitution (as amended), which prohibits speech that endangers public safety, national security, and public order. Furthermore, it contravenes Sections 24(1)(a) & (b) of the Cybercrimes Act 2015 by disseminating false, misleading, and harmful information capable of causing alarm or ill-will.

“The defendants’ reckless actions have not only tarnished the reputation of a dedicated public servant but have also compromised ongoing military operations against banditry and terrorism in Nigeria’s North-West region,” said Ambassador Ogorry. “This publication promotes distrust, exposes the Minister to risks, and undermines the morale of our armed forces engaged in counter-terrorism. It is a direct assault on our national security and the freedom of expression that must be balanced with responsibility.”

The lawsuit seeks the following reliefs from the court:
– A declaration that the publication is false, misleading, malicious, and not protected speech under Section 39(1) of the Constitution (as amended).

– A declaration that it falls within restricted speech under Section 39(3)(a), endangering public safety, national security, and public order.
– A declaration that it violates Sections 24(1)(a) & (b) of the Cybercrimes Act 2015 by prohibiting false, harmful, or misleading information.

– AN ORDER OF INJUNCTION restraining the Defendants, their agents, or privies from further publishing, distributing, circulating, or causing to be circulated the said false publication or any other malicious publication especially as it relates to and against the person of Defence Minister, Dr. Matawalle.

– An order directing the defendants to issue a public retraction of the publication and publish a full apology on their website and social media channels for 14 consecutive days.

– General and exemplary damages of N10,000,000,000 (Ten Billion Naira) for the frivolous, false, and malicious publication geared toward endangering public safety, national security, and public order.

Ambassador Ogorry highlighted that the article, based on unverified claims from an alleged “former senior aide,” lacks any official record or evidence, demonstrating the defendants’ disregard for truth and ethical journalism. He urged the court to address this as a matter of urgent national importance, citing precedents such as President F.R.N. v. ISA (2017) and Guardian Newspapers v. AIEH (2011), which affirm that freedom of expression does not protect reckless publications that threaten security.

“This lawsuit is not just about correcting a falsehood; it’s about safeguarding Nigeria’s democracy, protecting public officials from baseless attacks, and ensuring media accountability,” Ambassador Ogorry added. “Sahara Reporters and Omoyele Sowore must be held responsible for their role in spreading dangerous misinformation that could fuel terrorism and disrupt public order.”

The case is set for hearing in the Abuja Judicial Division, and Ambassador Ogorry expressed confidence in the judiciary’s ability to uphold justice and constitutional principles.
