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, his death is a sad loss to Nigeria.

Tinubu has also been meeting with French investors, including Vincent Bolloré of the Bolloré Group, to discuss increasing investment in Nigeria. The talks focused on expanding the group's businesses, including Canal+, MultiChoice, and Universal Music, into areas such as film, entertainment, fibre optics, and the digital economy.

Tinubu believes Nigeria is at the forefront of Africa's cultural resurgence, driven by Nollywood, Afrobeats, and a growing global appetite for Nigerian culture. He noted that Nigerian creativity, fashion, and culture are gaining global attention, with the country's music filling stadiums and its films and stories reaching new audiences.
