Presidency Rejects World Bank’s Poverty Report on Nigeria

The Nigerian Presidency has rejected a recent World Bank report estimating that 139 million Nigerians are living in poverty, calling the figure "unrealistic." In a statement, President Bola Tinubu's media adviser, Sunday Dare, argued that the World Bank's model uses a global poverty line of $2.15 per day, which, when converted, amounts to nearly ₦100,000 per month. He pointed out that this is higher than Nigeria's new minimum wage of ₦70,000, making the metric an "analytical construct" rather than a true reflection of local realities. The Presidency emphasized that the government is focused on its reform trajectory and social programs, such as expanded cash transfers and infrastructure funds, to drive inclusive growth. It stated that what matters is the direction of the economy, not a static figure based on outdated consumption data. While the World Bank commended Nigeria's bold economic […]

Tinubu: Why I Never Tried to Convert My Pastor Wife

President Bola Tinubu has called for religious tolerance, using his own marriage as an example of peaceful coexistence. He revealed that he has never tried to convert his wife, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, who is a Christian pastor, to Islam. Speaking at a funeral in Jos, Plateau State, the President stated, "I inherited Islam from my family... but my wife is a pastor and she prays for me at all times. I have never convinced or converted her; I believe in the freedom of religion." He emphasized that despite their different faiths, they pray to the same God and that love for others is what truly matters. Tinubu urged Nigerians to shun religious and ethnic differences, declaring that his mission is to unite the country and ensure its prosperity. The President also assured Christian leaders in the North of his administration's […]

‘We’re Racing Against Time’: Full Text of President Tinubu’s 65th Independence Day Speech

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Tuesday addressed Nigerians to mark the country’s 65th Independence anniversary, delivering a wide-ranging speech that reflected on the nation’s past, outlined his administration’s economic and social reforms, and offered a message of hope for the future. Tinubu recalled the sacrifices of Nigeria’s founding fathers — including Herbert Macaulay, Nnamdi Azikiwe, Obafemi Awolowo, Ahmadu Bello, and Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti — who envisioned a strong, prosperous, and united Nigeria. He noted that, despite challenges such as civil war, dictatorship, and political crises, the country had made significant progress in education, healthcare, infrastructure, and economic growth since 1960. The president stressed that his administration inherited a near-collapsed economy but chose the “path of reform” over “business as usual.” He highlighted key policy moves, including ending fuel subsidies, unifying foreign exchange rates, and investing in infrastructure, agriculture, and social programmes.

Ndume Urges Tinubu to Act Like a Dictator to End PENGASSAN–Dangote Refinery Dispute

Senator Ali Ndume has urged President Bola Tinubu to take decisive action — even if it means acting like a dictator — to resolve the escalating standoff between the Dangote Refinery and the Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (PENGASSAN). Ndume, who represents Borno South, made the call on Monday during an interview on Arise Television’s Prime Time. “The best thing is for the president to sign an executive order calling them off. He has the right to dissolve them. In this case, I don’t mind if he acts like a dictator because some situations require very drastic measures,” he said. The crisis began after PENGASSAN accused the Dangote Refinery of unlawfully sacking 800 workers for joining the union. On Saturday, the association directed its members nationwide to down tools, calling the move a violation of Nigeria’s […]

The Federal Government has secured N250 billion to fund light rail projects in Kaduna and Kano States, the Minister of Information and National Orientation, Alhaji Mohammed Idris, announced on Monday in Abuja.

Tax Reforms Will Grow Nigeria’s Budget Fivefold — Speaker Abbas

Speaker of the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas, says President Bola Tinubu’s tax reforms will dramatically expand Nigeria’s revenue base, projecting that the national budget could grow to five times its current size within the next two years. Abbas made the remarks in Abuja during “An Evening with 004,” an informal youth engagement organised by the Office of the National Youth Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC). According to a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Leke Baiyewu, the Speaker said the Federal Government’s ongoing efforts to block revenue leakages and strengthen tax compliance will allow for more robust funding of critical projects and services. “One thing I want you to go home with is that Mr President and the National Assembly have crossed a major hurdle that has been bedevilling our budgets — paucity of revenue,” Abbas told […]

ECOWAS Parliament Approves UA19.6m Budget for 2026, Focuses on AI and Governance

The ECOWAS Parliament has adopted a UA19,636,030 budget (approx. $26 million) for the 2026 financial year, with a strong focus on deploying Artificial Intelligence (AI) to improve legislation, strengthen governance, and enhance accountability across West Africa. Speaker of the Parliament, Hadjia Memounatou Ibrahima, announced the resolution on Saturday during the closing of the 2025 Second Extraordinary Session in Port Harcourt, Rivers State. She described the budget as “the engine of our commitment to the people of West Africa,” emphasizing that it will allow the Parliament to implement outcomes from its AI seminar while ensuring transparent management of public funds. The 2026 budget represents a 5% increase compared to 2025, rising by UA939,233 from last year’s UA18,996,897. Of the total, UA19,368,394 (98.64%) will come from the Community Levy, while UA257,636 (1.36%) will be sourced elsewhere. Despite the upward adjustment, concerns remain […]

Nigeria Grants Visa-Free Entry to St. Kitts & Nevis

Nigeria has granted visa-free entry to citizens of St. Kitts & Nevis, effective September 26, 2025, marking the first time the policy extends beyond Africa. The waiver, which applies to ordinary, official, and diplomatic passports, is aimed at strengthening trade, investment, and cultural ties between the two nations. Until now, Nigeria’s visa-free access largely covered ECOWAS states, with Cameroon and Chad as the only non-ECOWAS African countries enjoying the privilege. The development follows the Afri-Caribbean Investment Summit (AACIS ’25) held in Abuja earlier this year, organised by Aquarian Consult Limited (ACL). ACL’s Managing Director, Aisha Maina, said: “This visa waiver is more than diplomacy; it is about opening doors for trade, investment, and cultural exchange. At ACL, we are proud to have played a role in turning dialogue into action.” Diplomatic ties between Nigeria and St. Kitts & Nevis have […]

Tinubu Calls for Total Elimination of Nuclear Weapons at UN

President Bola Tinubu has called for the complete elimination of nuclear weapons, describing their continued existence as a grave threat to global peace and security. Delivering Nigeria’s statement at the high-level meeting commemorating the International Day for the Total Elimination of Nuclear Weapons at the UN headquarters in New York, Tinubu — represented by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Amb. Yusuf Tuggar — urged nuclear powers to dismantle their arsenals without delay. “Nigeria will continue to do its part to ensure the total elimination of nuclear weapons is achieved,” Tinubu said. “The catastrophic humanitarian consequences that could result from either intentional use or unintentional explosion of these dangerous weapons are dire.” He warned that weapons of mass destruction pose significant risks not only to international peace but also to human health, the environment, and vital economic resources.

NEFGAD faults BPP’s defence of US fiscal transparency report

The Network for Public Procurement Advocacy and Development (NEFGAD) has faulted the Bureau of Public Procurement (BPP) over what it described as a “weak and deceptive” response to the 2025 U.S. Fiscal Transparency Report, which indicted Nigeria for failing to disclose procurement contract details. The U.S. Department of State, in its latest review, acknowledged Nigeria’s progress in publishing budget documents and debt obligations but flagged persistent opacity around public procurement, warning that it undermines accountability and weakens governance. The report, which assessed 139 countries and the Palestinian Authority, found that 71 governments met minimum fiscal transparency requirements, while 69 did not. Nigeria was listed among 32 African countries still lagging, alongside Egypt, Algeria, Cameroon, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Chad, Angola, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Tanzania, and others. Specifically, the report faulted the Office of the Auditor-General of the Federation for failing to publish […]
