Nigeria to Provide Electricity to 300 Million Africans by 2030
Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Abbas Tajudeen, says Nigeria is taking a continental leadership role in the push for renewable energy, targeting electricity access for 300 million Africans by 2030 through the Mission 300 initiative with the World Bank and AfDB.
Speaking at the First Legislative Conference and Expo on Renewable Energy in Lagos, Abbas commended President Tinubu for approving $1 billion in financing for the Rural Electrification Agency, with $750 million allocated to solar mini-grids and home systems that will benefit over 200,000 Nigerians.
“On the continental stage, Nigeria has assumed a leadership role,” he said. “We are working to provide electricity to three hundred million Africans by 2030.”
Abbas stressed the need for collaboration: “Legislators must establish sound legal foundations. The executive must implement with urgency. The private sector must invest in innovation. Civil society must foster inclusion and accountability.”
He highlighted legislative reforms, including the creation of a Standing Committee on Renewable Energy and tax waivers for renewable energy and CNG components. The House is also working to legally back the Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Policy (REEEP) of 2015.
“The earlier we align with global trends, the better,” Abbas noted, referencing data that shows 92% of new global power capacity in 2024 came from renewables.
Hon. Afam Ogene warned that fossil fuels have failed to deliver reliable power, urging transition to clean energy as a development driver. Ghana’s Parliament Speaker, Hon. Ahiafor, praised Nigeria’s leadership and emphasized the urgency of cross-border collaboration to electrify Africa.
UNDP’s Elsie Atafuah said Nigeria must show courage and legislative action to lead the green revolution. “The next superpowers will be those who master the green value chain,” she said.

Rihanna Confirms She’s Expecting Baby No. 3 at the 2025 Met Gala
Rihanna has revealed she’s pregnant with her third child, making a grand announcement on the red carpet of the 2025 Met Gala in New York.
The 37-year-old singer and fashion icon, dressed in an elegant ensemble, cradled her visible baby bump and smiled for the cameras on the navy and daffodil-themed carpet. She was joined by her partner, rapper A$AP Rocky, who confirmed the news and responded warmly to reporters’ congratulations.
“It is time to just show the people what we were cooking up,” A$AP Rocky said. “Thank you, thank you, thank you… I’m glad everybody’s happy for us because we’re definitely happy.”
The couple already share two sons — RZA, born in May 2022, and Riot, born in August 2023.
Rihanna, whose real name is Robyn Fenty, arrived fashionably late to the prestigious benefit for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute, which this year focused on “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style” — a theme dedicated to menswear.
A$AP Rocky served as a co-chair for the event, which is known for its bold fashion statements and surprise appearances.
Rihanna is no stranger to headline-making pregnancy reveals. She announced her first pregnancy with a Harlem photoshoot in 2022 and made her second baby bump debut during her 2023 Super Bowl halftime performance. She now joins stars like Serena Williams and Karlie Kloss, who also revealed pregnancies at past Met Galas.
Once again, Rihanna blends fashion, fame, and family in a show-stopping moment.

Ex-Spurs Chief Paratici In Talks With AC Milan
~1.0 mins read
Fabio Paratici is in talks with AC Milan over becoming their new sporting director, in a move that would end his ties with Tottenham. The Italian administrator, who left his role as Spurs' managing director of football in April 2023 after being banned by world governing body Fifa - following an investigation into financial irregularities during his time at Juventus - is free to return to work in the summer when his suspension ends. Sources close to Paratici have told BBC Sport the 52-year-old is in contact with AC Milan over becoming their new sporting director. Despite leaving his role at Tottenham, Paratici has continued to have a presence at the Premier League club. He is a consultant for the club and has been a regular at Tottenham's home games, while recent reports have stated the north London club were looking to rehire him. However, Paratici - if talks with the San Siro club end successfully - will cut ties with Tottenham as he focuses on his new role. Paratici has been central to a number of Tottenham's most recent signings, most notably Cristian Romero, Dejan Kulusevski and Rodrigo Bentancur.
