The Senior Special Assistant (SSA) to the President on Special Needs and Equal Opportunities, Mr Mohammed Isa, on Monday inaugurated the Technical Working Committee for the launch of a book titled “The New Nigeria: Compliment to the Game-Changer.”
Isa said the book initiative, championed by the International Christian Organisation for Sustainable Development (ICOSD) in partnership with his office, was dedicated to President Bola Tinubu and aligned with the Renewed Hope Agenda.
He conveyed the greetings of President Tinubu to stakeholders and described the book project as a reflection of the administration’s vision of bold reforms, inclusive growth and decisive leadership.
According to him, the 700-page book, authored by Dr Joseph Vambe with a foreword by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Sen. George Akume, documents Nigeria’s ongoing transformation under Tinubu’s leadership.
“The book captures the remarkable progress, policy choices and strategic reforms being implemented by the President, and invites Nigerians to appreciate this defining moment in our national journey,” Isa said.
He charged members of the Technical Working Committee to work diligently to ensure a successful and nationally significant book launch, urging them to adhere strictly to the approved terms of reference, implementation strategy and sponsorship plan.
Isa emphasised teamwork, professionalism, accountability and dedication as guiding principles for the committee, before formally inaugurating its members.
In his remarks, the Chairman, Board of Trustees of ICOSD and author of the book, Dr Joseph Vambe, said the project was inspired by Tinubu’s emergence and the reforms of his administration.
Vambe said the organisation began documenting the administration’s activities from the President’s first day in office to show the evidence that “Nigeria already has a New Nigeria.”
He commended the SSA to the president for his support and partnership, noting that the collaboration gave the project renewed momentum.
“We approached government institutions earlier, but it was our meeting with the SSA that marked a turning point. From that day, he showed interest and embraced this vision,” Vambe said.
He added that the partnership was aimed at promoting empowerment initiatives and supporting the Renewed Hope Agenda, expressing confidence in Nigeria’s aspiration of becoming a trillion-dollar economy.
In his closing remarks, the Chairman of the Technical Committee, Mr Emmanuel Afolabi, thanked the SSA for the warm reception accorded the committee.
Afolabi assured that members would work within the established guidelines to ensure the success of the assignment and contribute to making Nigeria greater in line with the President’s vision.
“We assure you that we’ll never let you down we will work according to the the norms that have established this group and our aim is to make Nigeria great just with the president and we will do that by the grace of God, ” Afolabi said. (

Nigeria at 66: ‘We Must Not Lose Faith in Nigeria’ — FCC Boss Omidiran
Joel Ajayi
The Executive Chairman of the Federal Character Commission (FCC), Honorable Hulayat Motunrayo Omidiran, has called on Nigerians to use the occasion of the nation’s 66th Independence Anniversary to renew their faith in Nigeria, strengthen national unity and recommit themselves to building a more inclusive and prosperous country.
In her 66th Independence Day message, Hon. Omidiran described October 1 as more than a celebration of freedom, saying the anniversary provides an opportunity for Nigerians to reflect on the country’s journey, acknowledge its progress and challenges, and renew the collective determination to build a nation where every citizen has a sense of belonging.
According to the FCC Executive Chairman, the Federal Character Principle remains particularly important to the quest for national cohesion because equitable representation promotes a sense of ownership and confidence in the Nigerian project.
“Nigeria is a nation of great diversity and
enormous potential. Our responsibility is to ensure that this diversity becomes a bridge that connects us rather than a barrier that separates us. Every Nigerian deserves to feel that he or she belongs to this country and has a role to play in its development,” Omidiran said.
The FCC boss called on government institutions at all levels to remain committed to fairness, equity, accountability and inclusive governance, while urging citizens to support efforts aimed at strengthening national institutions and promoting peaceful coexistence.
“We must not lose faith in Nigeria. The challenges before us are real, but so are the opportunities and the enormous human and natural resources available to us. Every citizen has a responsibility to contribute his or her own quota to building the Nigeria we desire,” she stated.
The FCC Executive Chairman also urged young Nigerians to remain committed to acquiring knowledge and skills, entrepreneurship, innovation, sports and other productive ventures, describing the youth as critical stakeholders in the country’s future.
“As we celebrate 66 years of independence, let us remember that the Nigeria we want cannot be built by government alone. It requires the commitment of all of us – leaders and citizens, young and old, from every part of the federation. Together, we can build a Nigeria where justice, fairness, opportunity and peace are available to all,” she said.
Omidiran reaffirmed the FCC’s commitment to the effective discharge of its constitutional mandate and to supporting efforts that promote equitable representation and inclusive national development across the federation.
The former lawmaker wished Nigerians at home and abroad a peaceful and memorable 66th Independence Anniversary, praying for continued peace, stability, prosperity and progress for the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
“Our differences should never be greater than our common identity as Nigerians. Let us continue to choose unity over division, service over self-interest and hope over despair. The Nigeria of our dreams is possible if we all play our part,” Omidiran said.
“On behalf of the Federal Character Commission, I congratulate all Nigerians on this 66th Independence Anniversary. May this occasion renew our patriotism, strengthen our unity and inspire us to work together for a stronger, more equitable and prosperous Nigeria. May God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria,” she added.
