To understand how Microsoft sees its role in the AI race, look at what was announced at the company’s GitHub Universe developer conference on Tuesday in San Francisco.
The event marked a turning point for one of Microsoft’s most important but often under-analyzed assets. GitHub, which is used by more than 180 million developers, wants to be the central platform for AI coding agents.

<h2>The lawmaker representing Kaduna North Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, <a href="https://www.naijanews.com/topic/bello-el-rufai/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bello El-Rufai</a>, has declared that the situation in Nigeria under the leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) is not jolly.</h2>
<p>He said unlike the typical <strong><a href="https://www.naijanews.com/topic/apc/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">APC</a></strong> person, he won't say everything is okay in the country at the moment.</p>
<p>The lawmaker, who is the son of former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai, however, said he believes in the abilities and capabilities of <strong><a href="https://www.naijanews.com/topic/bola-tinubu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">President Bola Tinubu</a></strong> to turn things around for the better.</p>
<p>According to him, Nigeria has had many accidental Presidents, but Tinubu is not one of them.</p>
<p>Speaking during a chat on the latest edition of the Mic on podcast with Seun Okinbaloye, El-Rufai expressed optimism that things would soon get better.</p>
<p>In his words, <em>"I'm not the typical APC person to come out and say things are jolly, they are not. I think they will get better, I think Asiwaju is probably the most experienced politician we've had as president.</em></p>
<p><em>"We've had many accidental presidents but he kind of prepared for this. You know in a similar way that President Babangida prepared to be Head of State through the scheming in the military, Asiwaju prepared for this.</em></p>
<p><em>"We have a blueprint to say this is what he did. That is why some us didn't follow the Governor (Peter) Obi wave."</em></p>
