President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is back in Nigeria as reactions trail the £746 million export finance deal to revamp Apapa and Tin Can Island ports in Lagos.

The agreement, announced during his meeting with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, will see loans guaranteed by UK Export Finance, meaning the funds will still be repaid.

Meanwhile, Presidential Aide Daniel Bwala told BBC that Nigerians should expect financial relief funded by gains from rising oil prices.

In a separate BBC interview, Information Minister Mohammed Idris defended security agencies over the Maiduguri bombings, insisting they did not fail, despite Nigeria now ranking 4th on the Global Terrorism Index.

In another development, Nollywood actor Aremu Afolayan is trending after apologising for earlier comments downplaying insecurity and economic hardship. His reversal comes amid growing criticism online.

Elsewhere, a viral video by US-based lawyer Ollachi Holman recounting alleged abuse at Igbinedion Secondary School has reignited debate about violence in schools.

In Abia State, outrage is also growing over the poor condition of a community school, with calls for action from Governor Alex Otti and local authorities.

Finally, under entertainment, Afrobeats star Asake released a vibrant new music video for his song Worship to mark the Eid celebrations, offering fans a visually rich and energetic production that blends music, culture and spirituality.

The release comes as Asake continues to make waves globally, using the festive moment to connect with fans and celebrate the season in style.
