Rising-Up for a United Nigeria (RUN), a quintessential rights group dedicated to youth and national development through proactive policy interventions has described Chief Hon. Mike Msuaan (MON) as a beacon of hope for the Nigerian youth and a bridge builder who has made giant exploits beyond his Tiv and Benue roots.
This followed the conferment of a well deserved and meritorious Chieftaincy title of Otunba Akweje and Yeye Akweje on him and his wife Mrs. Joy Msuaan by the Olowu of Owu-Kuta Kingdom in far away Osun State by HRM (Dr) Adekunle Oyelude Makama, CON amidst pomp and unending celebration, in recognition of his exemplary political stewardship.
In a statement signed and widely distributed to journalists in Abuja by Amb. Solomon Adodo, the group expressed satisfaction with the numerous achievements of Hon. Mike Msuaan (MON) in the area of youth mentorship, job creation, educational development, capacity building and cross cultural networks which have earned him national recognition and acclaim.
According to the statement, “we delighted to identify with this illustrious and legendary youth leader who has over the years prioritized job creation, award of scholarships, mentorship skills acquisition and the building of bridges for peace and national development. His installation as Akweje of Owu-Kuta is a clear indication that the whole world is keenly watching and excited with the silent but legendary exploits of his political career. We are indeed proud of him. He is our ambassador and a role model to emerging leaders”
As a young man of exceptional leadership abilities as well as striking attributes of humility, honesty, integrity, unwavering wisdom, a dependable personality and one with dedication to duty, RUN joins well meaning Nigerians and especially youth leaders in congratulating Otunba Akweje Msuaan on this “milestone which has served to solidify him as a promising gentleman who is strategically placing himself for greater service, no doubt, this title will be a source of encouragement to him to continue to serve the country and humanity”.

The Embassy of Algeria in Nigeria has commemorated the 72nd anniversary of the country’s Glorious Revolution of November 1, 1954, with a reception in Abuja, highlighting Algeria’s liberation struggle and strengthening diplomatic relations with Nigeria.
The event, held on November 9, 2026, at Continental Suites Hotel, attracted prominent personalities, including the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Dr Tajudeen Abbas, members of the Federal Government, senior government officials, heads of diplomatic missions and other friends of Algeria.
Speaking at the reception, Algeria’s Ambassador to Nigeria, Hocine Mezoued, welcomed guests and paid tribute to the country’s freedom fighters who sacrificed their lives during the struggle for independence.
He described the November 1, 1954 revolution as the foundation of modern Algeria, noting that the sacrifices of the nation’s martyrs made it possible for the country to reclaim its sovereignty.
On Algeria’s development agenda, Mezoued said President Abdelmadjid Tebboune’s administration had continued to pursue economic reforms, diversification and national development under its New Algeria vision.
He noted that the country was recording progress in non-hydrocarbon exports, while improvements in the business environment had boosted investor confidence and attracted significant foreign investments.
On foreign policy, the ambassador reaffirmed Algeria’s commitment to non-interference, respect for national sovereignty, peaceful conflict resolution and the right of peoples to self-determination.
Addressing security challenges in the Sahel, he stressed that lasting peace could not be achieved through military measures alone, insisting that economic development, inclusive dialogue and peaceful resolution of disputes remained essential.
Turning to Nigeria-Algeria relations, Mezoued described the partnership as one founded on shared values and the commitment of both countries’ leaders to advancing African development.
He identified the Trans-Saharan Highway, Trans-Saharan Gas Pipeline and Trans-Saharan Fibre Optic Backbone as major strategic projects receiving attention from both countries.
The ambassador also disclosed that Algeria had continued to provide scholarships to Nigerian students to strengthen human capital development and capacity building.
He further announced that Air Algérie expanded its Nigerian operations on October 26, 2026, with the introduction of two weekly flights to Lagos, expressing confidence that the service would boost trade and tourism.
Looking ahead, Mezoued said 2027 would offer fresh opportunities to deepen bilateral cooperation, particularly through the fifth Joint High Bi-National Commission scheduled to hold in Abuja.
He expressed optimism that the meeting would provide an opportunity to assess existing partnerships, identify new areas of cooperation and move Nigeria-Algeria relations towards a more practical and results-driven phase.
