Nigeria’s Social Welfare in Poor State – Economists

The Nigerian Economic Society (NES) has raised concern over the country’s worsening social welfare, describing it as “ignominious” with over 133 million Nigerians facing deprivations in education, health, and living standards. Speaking in Abuja ahead of the NES 66th Annual Conference, the society’s president, Prof. Adeola Adenikinju, stressed that while Nigeria has recorded some progress in macroeconomic reforms, these gains have not translated into meaningful improvements for households and businesses. He noted that reforms introduced by the Federal Government had shown encouraging signs, such as a slight easing of inflation in July 2025. However, he maintained that inflation remains high and its impact on households uneven. “The reforms must be sustained, broadened, and translated into real economic benefits for micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) and households,” Adenikinju said. The NES president highlighted that Nigeria’s Multidimensional Poverty Index, last measured […]

DMO Cautions States on Rising Debt, Urges Focus on Tax Reforms and PPPs

The Debt Management Office (DMO) has advised state governments to reduce reliance on borrowing for infrastructure projects and instead prioritise Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) and stronger tax revenue mobilisation. Speaking at a World Bank-supported workshop under the States Action on Business Enabling Reforms Programme in Lagos, DMO Director-General Patience Oniha warned that Nigeria must avoid slipping back into a debt crisis similar to what it faced before its 2005 debt relief programme. She stressed that borrowing should only be a last resort, adding that governments at all levels must ensure that any loans taken are prudently utilised and sustainable. “Borrowing should not be the major source of funding. Revenues, especially tax revenues, must be significantly improved. Efficient tax collection ensures more resources for health, education, and infrastructure without raising tax rates,” Oniha said. According to her, PPPs present a more viable […]

Tinubu Urged to Sack Underperforming Ministers — Nataro

A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and former Kebbi State governorship candidate, Mallam Salihu Isa Nataro, has called on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to reshuffle his cabinet by removing underperforming ministers ahead of the 2027 general elections.

FG Urges Traditional Medicine Practitioners to Standardise Products

The Federal Government has called on traditional medicine practitioners to standardise their products and subject them to modern scientific scrutiny, stressing that this is the only way to dispel doubts about their safety and efficacy. Speaking in Abuja during the 2025 African Traditional Medicine Day, the Minister of State for Health, Dr. Adekunle Salako, said investment in research and clinical studies is necessary to validate the quality of traditional remedies and integrate them into Nigeria’s health system. “Evidence is the bridge between belief and policy. It is what will allow traditional medicines to move from the periphery to the mainstream of healthcare delivery, not just in Nigeria, but also across the continent,” Salako said. He explained that many Nigerians, especially those in rural and underserved areas, still rely on herbal remedies, spiritual healing, and indigenous knowledge systems as their primary […]
