It also aligns with the country’s development agenda, including the Medium-Term National Development Plan (2021- 2025) and Vision 2050. The Trust Fund is jointly funded by the six states of Bauchi, Borno, Jigawa, Kano, Plateau, and Yobe, in collaboration with the federal government. The project will be implemented over eight months. Parties bordering the same transboundary waters are obliged to cooperate by concluding specific agreements and establishing joint bodies. Further scaling up membership of the Water Convention – which already covers the pan-European region and a growing number of African states – would bring long-term benefits for over 3 billion people worldwide living in shared basins. Expansion of the Convention’s membership to East Africa would open significant new possibilities for stronger cooperation in the region. Niger confirmed its intention to join, bringing all major Lake Chad bordering nations under the Convention’s legal framework. The Gambia is a downstream country along the Senegal River, which shares all its land borders with Convention Party Senegal. Its accession would make it the first country in the Southern African Development Community to join the Convention, opening the door to further expansion and reinforcement of cooperation in a region where the majority of freshwater crosses state borders. Out of this, Nigeria will get about 1.8 per cent. “We can confirm that the President-elect, who left Nigeria Tuesday, has not been in London. “The President-elect left Nigeria on 21 March, 10 clear days thereafter.

Bayo Onanuga, the Media Director of Nigeria's President-Elect, Bola Tinubu has denied that his principal met with the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Olukayode.

Supreme Court Dissociates CJN From Planned Meeting With Tinubu (Leadership Newspaper)

The Supreme Court yesterday dissociated the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Olukayode Ariwoola, from a purported planned meeting with the president-elect,

Tinubu is in France and the CJN was in London. “We can confirm that the President-elect, who left Nigeria Tuesday has not been in London. He will go to London thereafter before proceeding to Mecca for the lesser Hajj.” Why would somebody now link that to the CJN that has left Nigeria for the UK since Saturday to observe his own medical session and just came back today (Thursday) as meeting? “The President-elect left Nigeria on March 21 – 10 clear days thereafter. It’s pure fabricated news, groundless in fact and authenticity.”
