Africa Nears Polio-Free Status, Says WHO on World Polio Day

The World Health Organization (WHO) has announced that Africa is making remarkable progress toward being declared polio-free. This milestone is driven by strong regional collaboration, digital innovation, and stronger health systems across the continent. According to the WHO, coordinated vaccination campaigns between January and October 2025 reached nearly 200 million children with at least one dose of the polio vaccine. These synchronized efforts, even in challenging regions, have led to a significant drop in outbreaks. Key to this success has been the use of technology, including digital payments for vaccinators and geospatial mapping to find and immunize children in hard-to-reach communities. Despite this progress, the WHO warns that challenges remain, including declining routine immunization and vaccine hesitancy. Sustained commitment is crucial to finally eradicating the disease and strengthening health systems for the future.

Why Every Naira Counts in Nigeria’s Tough Economy

In today's challenging economic climate, a fundamental principle for building wealth is recognizing that "no money is small." Dismissing small amounts like one Naira can lead to careless financial habits over time. Wealth, much like the human body, starts from a single cell and multiplies. True riches are often the product of small amounts saved and accumulated consistently. For instance, saving just one Naira on 20 different items during a shopping trip saves you N20. Repeated over time, these micro-savings compound into significant sums. This mindset encourages smarter financial behaviors, such as: Comparing prices by calculating the cost per unit (e.g., per gram). Buying in bulk to avoid the higher margins charged by retailers for small quantities. Joining cooperative societies to access bulk purchases and discounts directly from producers. Adopting the principle that every Naira counts is a crucial step toward financial discipline […]

 ICAN President Warns of Naira Devaluation After 2027 Elections

The President of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria (ICAN), Chidi Ajaegbu, has warned that the Naira could face another devaluation after the 2027 general elections. Speaking at a public lecture, Ajaegbu expressed concern that excessive government borrowing is creating future economic risks. He cited the "reckless" borrowing during the Buhari administration as a factor that scares away investors and could lead to currency instability. While the Naira has been relatively stable in recent months, Ajaegbu fears this may change post-2027. To avoid this, he advised the government to reduce its reliance on foreign loans, which often come with high consultancy fees. As an alternative, he strongly recommended that Nigeria turn to the capital market to raise long-term funds for infrastructure development, emphasizing that this requires accountability and a strong judiciary to combat corruption.

Northern Christian group urges US to reconsider Nigeria sanctions

The Northern Christian Youth Professionals (NCYP) has appealed to the United States government and its lawmakers, including Senator Ted Cruz, to reconsider the move to label Nigeria as a “Country of Particular Concern” over alleged Christian persecution. In a statement on Wednesday, the group said that while it acknowledges the reality of Christian killings in parts of northern Nigeria, such a designation could harm ongoing national efforts to promote peace and unity. The NCYP warned that the proposed action, though well-intentioned, might undermine President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s initiatives aimed at fostering inclusivity and reconciliation across religious and ethnic lines. The group praised President Tinubu for appointing Christians, especially from northern Nigeria, to key administrative and security positions. According to the NCYP’s National Public Relations Officer, Christian Oda, this demonstrates the president’s commitment to fairness and national unity. “This conviction is […]
