Fed Govt begins implementing salary agreement with ASUU

The Federal Government has begun implementing key welfare provisions in its 2025 renegotiated agreement with the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU). Education Minister Maruf Tunji Alausa said the government has fulfilled its obligation to implement a 40 percent increase in the Consolidated Academic Allowance (CAA) for ASUU members, effective from January 1, 2026. He explained that some federal universities have already reflected the new rates in lecturers’ pay, while others are being directed to fully cascade the approved increment across their payroll so all eligible academic staff benefit. The minister added that the increase has been captured and circularised by the National Salaries, Incomes and Wages Commission and that its inclusion in the 2026 budget is now a formal statutory process.

Nine states take lead on new tax harmonisation laws

Nine states have so far domesticated Nigeria’s new tax harmonisation laws designed to end multiple taxation and uncoordinated levies. The states are Bayelsa, Anambra, Ekiti, Gombe, Kogi, Nasarawa, Plateau, Kwara and Zamfara, while 27 others are still at various stages of adoption.​ The reforms build on a model Tax Harmonisation Law developed by the Presidential Fiscal Policy and Tax Reforms Committee for states and local governments. The aim is to tackle illegal collections, remove non-state actors from revenue drives and create a clearer, more predictable tax environment for businesses and citizens.​ Committee chairman Taiwo Oyedele said it is vital for states to pass their own harmonisation laws to address multiple taxation at sub-national level. The Joint Revenue Board described the early moves by the nine states as a key step towards eliminating illegal tax collection and improving the fiscal climate.​ […]

Nigerians Anxious as Depot Petrol Price Climbs to ₦889 per Litre

Nigerians are growing increasingly uneasy as the depot price of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), popularly known as petrol, climbed to ₦889 per litre on Thursday, up from ₦887 the previous week. Data obtained by Vanguard showed Matrix sold at the highest price of ₦889 per litre, while Aiteo offered the lowest at ₦871 per litre.

Speaking to Vanguard, Dr. Billy Gillis-Harry, National President of the Petroleum Retail Outlets Owners Association of Nigeria (PETROAN), said members would work with […]
