Omah Lay has released the official music video for “Canada Breeze,” a track from his 2026 album Clarity of Mind.

The singer also took on the creative director role, with NWSPK directing the video. The visuals lean into sunset-inspired colours, psychedelic face paint, choreographed movement and quick cuts that follow the song’s rhythm.

The release gives one of the album’s standout tracks a fresh visual treatment, as Omah Lay continues the rollout of his first full-length album since Boy Alone in 2022.

Dangote Refinery has extended the deadline for its public share offer from October 13 to October 27, 2026, following approval from the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The offer comprises 4.1 billion shares at ₦525 each, which could raise about ₦2.15 trillion if fully subscribed. Aliko Dangote says the extension is intended to give more investors across Africa time to participate, including those completing account opening and identity verification.

The extra two weeks could bring more investors into one of Africa’s biggest industrial businesses. The question now is how much of the offer will be taken up.

Minister of Power Joseph Tegbe has begun mobilising APC members and community leaders across Oyo State in support of President Bola Tinubu’s 2027 re-election bid.

Tegbe is making the case for another term by pointing to planned solar mini-grids and electrification projects in Ogbomoso, Oke-Ogun and Ibarapa, which he says are nearing completion.

He has also urged APC members to settle internal disagreements and strengthen grassroots mobilisation across the state. The electricity projects form part of his political argument; their expected impact on power supply remains to be assessed against actual delivery.

First Tirad Global Resources Ltd and its majority shareholder, Funmilola Soyebo, are suing FCMB for ₦5 billion over the alleged unauthorised disclosure of the company’s bank statement to a third party.

According to reports, the incident occurred in April after a request made through WhatsApp led to screenshots of the statement being passed between a former and a serving FCMB account officer before reaching the recipient. The claimants say the disclosure exposed sensitive financial and personal information.

In a letter dated July 8, FCMB reportedly described the disclosure as “wholly unauthorised”, apologised and said disciplinary measures had been taken against the employee involved. The claimants are asking the court for damages and other remedies. The ₦5 billion is the amount being sought, not an award by the court. The case remains to be decided.

Investors who were leaving Nigeria are starting to reconsider, according to CBN Governor Olayemi Cardoso.

Speaking in Singapore, Cardoso said some investors who had planned to exit Nigeria are changing course, pointing to more predictable policies and improved economic stability. He also cited $46 billion in net reserves and strong local participation in bank recapitalisation as signs of confidence in Nigeria’s economy.

Now, Nigeria wants to turn that confidence into stronger investment ties with Asia, combining its large market, young population and entrepreneurial energy with Asian capital and expertise.

The opportunity is there. The focus now is turning investor interest into businesses, expansion and jobs.

Do you think Nigeria can turn renewed investor interest into real economic gains?
