[1] Target a minimum of $$20bn from the export of processed agricultural products like chocolate from cocoa, animal feed from cassava, furniture from timber, palm oil derivatives, etc

PRESIDENT Bola Tinubu has called on Nigerians to spare a moment and appreciate former Delta State governor Emmanuel Uduaghan who passed away earlier today given his relentless service to the nation.

This afternoon, it was announced that Governor Uduaghan, 71, passed away. He was in office between 2007 and 2015 and according to President Tinubu, the former governor did not abandon public service after serving two terms but continued to play a role in deepening democratic governance.

SEVERAL Nigeria-eligible players completed moves to new clubs on the last day of the transfer window yesterday in a development which Super Eagles head coach Eric Chelle will no doubt be closely monitoring.
