DEAR NIGERIAN YOUTH: A COMPELLING CASE FOR AN ATIKU PRESIDENCY (PART II)

 The Rule of Law, Institutional Transparency and the Economic Future of a Generation

By David Nwokorie

Economic growth cannot be measured by GDP alone. As former World Bank President James Wolfensohn argued in 2000, development also depends on whether courts are fair, public officials are accountable and rights are protected.

By that measure, Nigeria faces serious challenges. The World Justice Project's 2025 Rule of Law Index ranks Nigeria 120th out of 143 countries. It places the country 142nd in order and security and 118th in the absence of corruption. Foreign direct investment fell about 42% in a year, from $1.87 billion in 2023 to $1.08 billion in 2024, according to UNCTAD. The World Bank estimates poverty could reach 61% of the population by 2025.

Young Nigerians bear the heaviest cost. When contracts go unenforced, procurement is opaque and justice is slow; opportunity depends on connections rather than competence. A wealthy person can absorb these costs. A young entrepreneur may lose a whole livelihood.

Atiku Abubakar's 2027 manifesto commits to constitutional supremacy, judicial independence and the protection of fundamental rights. An Atiku presidency should turn those commitments into measurable action:

- Digital, transparent court administration

- Faster resolution of commercial disputes

- Open judicial appointments and discipline

- Compliance with lawful court orders

- Wider legal aid for low-income Nigerians

- Transparent procurement and independent verification of public projects

Such reforms would help young people build businesses, access credit and compete fairly, while rebuilding investor confidence.

Manifesto promises are only a starting point. Nigerian youth should demand outcomes, scrutinise every candidate and insist that whoever governs delivers stronger institutions, protected rights and real opportunity.

David Nwokorie is a youth leader and civil rights advocate. He is Chancellor of the School of Public Policy & Leadership (TSPPL) and President of the GENDA Foundation.

Ambassador Innocent Abu Receives Second Best Compliance Award 2026

 

Recognition Highlights Commitment to Regulatory Compliance and Professional Excellence in Nigeria’s Maritime and Logistics Industry

 

Ambassador Innocent Abu, Managing Director of Innostar Logistic Services, has been honoured with the Second Best Compliance Award 2026 by the Council for the Regulation of Freight Forwarding in Nigeria (CRFFN), in recognition of his commitment to regulatory compliance and professionalism in the freight forwarding and logistics industry.

 

The award was presented by Mr. Igwe Kingsley of the CRFFN Registry on October 16, 2026, during the celebration of World Maritime Day. The event brought together distinguished personalities and key stakeholders in Nigeria’s maritime sector, including the Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, members of the Senate Committee, and other notable dignitaries.

 

The recognition underscores the importance of compliance with established regulatory standards in strengthening the freight forwarding profession and promoting transparency, accountability, and efficiency within the maritime industry.

As Managing Director of Innostar Logistic Services, Ambassador Abu continues to demonstrate the importance of professionalism and adherence to regulatory requirements in logistics operations. His recognition by the CRFFN reflects the value of responsible business practices and the role of industry operators in supporting the growth and development of Nigeria’s maritime and logistics sector.

 

The CRFFN plays a significant role in regulating freight forwarding activities in Nigeria, promoting professional standards, and encouraging compliance among practitioners. Awards of this nature serve as an important reminder of the need for industry stakeholders to uphold established regulations and contribute to a more organised, efficient, and competitive freight forwarding environment.

For Innostar Logistic Services, the award represents a significant milestone and a source of pride, further reinforcing the company's commitment to maintaining high professional standards in its operations.

 

The achievement also highlights the growing importance of regulatory compliance in an industry that plays a vital role in facilitating trade, supporting supply chains, and connecting businesses to local and international markets.

 

Ambassador Abu's recognition is expected to further encourage a culture of compliance and professional responsibility among freight forwarders and logistics practitioners, while inspiring other industry operators to prioritise regulatory standards in their daily activities.

As Nigeria continues to strengthen its maritime and blue economy sector, the recognition of individuals and organisations committed to compliance remains essential to building a more transparent, reliable, and sustainable industry.

 

The Second Best Compliance Award 2026 therefore stands as a notable achievement for Ambassador Innocent Abu and Innostar Logistic Services, reinforcing the importance of integrity, professionalism, and regulatory compliance in advancing excellence across Nigeria's maritime and logistics industry.

OVIEL Unleashes “MAXIMUM”, a Bold Afrobeats Anthem of Swagger and Self-Expression

 

The Nigerian artist delivers an infectious fusion of rhythm, confidence and unapologetic individuality in his latest release.

 

Nigerian recording artist OVIEL returns with “MAXIMUM”, an energetic new Afrobeats single that celebrates confidence, individuality and the freedom to express oneself without restraint.

 

Driven by infectious percussion, a pulsating groove and OVIEL’s charismatic vocal delivery, “MAXIMUM” blends the rhythmic appeal of contemporary Afrobeats with a distinct hip-hop attitude. The result is a vibrant, playful record that effortlessly balances swagger with dancefloor energy.

Speaking about the inspiration behind the record, OVIEL explains:

 

“MAXIMUM is really about that feeling when you’re in your element. You’re looking good, feeling good, and you know it. You’re not trying to prove anything to anybody, you’re just being yourself at full capacity. That’s the energy I wanted to capture with this record. Nothing too serious, just good music, good vibes and maximum steeze.” — OVIEL

 

Rather than relying on aggression or bravado, OVIEL approaches the record with an effortless cool. His playful lyricism, rhythmic delivery and distinctive use of Nigerian Pidgin give the track a personality that feels both culturally rooted and universally relatable.

 

The song’s infectious bounce and feel-good energy make it a natural fit for parties, nightlife and moments that call for a little extra confidence.

 

Beyond its sonic appeal, “MAXIMUM” represents another expression of OVIEL’s evolving creative identity. With an artistic approach that brings together music, fashion, design and visual storytelling, OVIEL continues to explore the relationship between sound and personal expression.

 

The release is accompanied by a striking visual identity that embraces bold styling, contemporary fashion and an editorial aesthetic, reinforcing the record’s themes of confidence and individuality.

 

“MAXIMUM” follows a growing catalogue of releases through which OVIEL continues to develop his distinctive voice within the Afrobeats and Afro-fusion landscape.

 

With its infectious rhythm, undeniable attitude and playful charm, “MAXIMUM” is more than a statement of confidence. It’s an invitation to embrace the moment, own your individuality and turn the energy all the way up.

 

“MAXIMUM” is available now on Spotify, Apple Music, Audiomack and other major streaming platforms.
