President Bola Tinubu has urged Nigerians to embrace the spirit of Eid by showing compassion and charity to their neighbors and fellow citizens.

The Nigerian government has hit back at a recent report by The New York Times, which described the country's economic situation as its worst in a generation. The report highlighted the struggles faced by many Nigerians amid rising inflation and food prices.

According to Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to President Tinubu on Information and Strategy, the government inherited a dead economy from the previous administration.
He claims that the previous government had failed to address the country's economic woes, including a fuel subsidy regime that had cost the country billions of dollars.
Onanuga criticized the New York Times report as reflective of a longstanding pattern in which foreign media have reported on African countries in a predetermined, reductionist, derogatory, and denigrating manner.
