Bamanga Tukur: Nigeria lost an icon, peacebuilder – Tinubu

President Bola Tinubu has paid tribute to Bamanga Tukur, the late PDP national chairman, describing him as an icon and peacebuilder. According to Punch Nigeria, his death is a sad loss to Nigeria.

Tinubu also recently met with Vincent Bolloré, chairman of the Bolloré Group, and company executives in Paris. The discussions focused on expanding the group's investments in Nigeria, particularly in the film, entertainment, fibre optics, and digital economy sectors.

The Bolloré Group, which owns businesses including Canal+, MultiChoice, and Universal Music, is looking to increase its investments in Nigeria, seeing the country as a hub for Africa's cultural awakening, driven by Nollywood, Afrobeats, and growing global interest in Nigerian culture, as reported by Punch.
