Nigeria Remi Tinubu Predicts Nigeria Will Be Lending to Other Nations by 2026

The Digest:

At a grand gathering in Ile-Ife, First Lady Senator Oluremi Tinubu declared that Nigeria will ascend to such economic prosperity by 2026 that it will begin lending money to other nations. She framed this as the dawn of a new "season of joy" under President Bola Tinubu's administration, a vision shared amidst traditional rulers and political leaders during the Ooni of Ife's coronation anniversary.

Key Points:

• Senator Oluremi Tinubu received the chieftaincy title Yeye Asiwaju Gbogbo Ile Oodua
• She predicted Nigeria would become an international creditor by 2026
• The statement was made at the 10th coronation anniversary of Ooni Adeyeye Ogunwusi
• Attendees included former President Obasanjo, three state governors, and the Sultan of Sokoto
• The First Lady attributed the coming prosperity to the current federal administration
• The Ooni was praised for his cultural reforms and global promotion of Yoruba heritage
• Osun State Governor Adeleke pledged continued infrastructure upgrades in Ile-Ife

Institutions, like nations, are measured by their capacity not just to endure hardship, but to extend strength. This forecast of Nigeria’s rising fortunes challenges the nation to grow roots deep enough to support not only itself but others as well.
