Stop Watching the Hearing Start Demanding the Audit

When United States Congress wants answers, the same pattern plays out. The biggest name gets called in. Cameras switch on. Soundbites travel faster than facts. But the real story rarely sits at the microphone. It sits in the documents.It sits in internal emails.It sits with the staff who drafted policies and carried them out. When a leader refuses to answer directly, it raises a basic question. Why does the investigation stop there? Accountability doesn’t start at the top. It follows the chain. Serious oversight means looking beyond the headline witness. It means calling the deputies.The policy writers.The supervisors who signed off on decisions. Anyone who has watched a U.S. House Committee on Oversight and Accountability hearing knows the pattern. High-profile testimony draws attention. But the details that explain what actually happened are usually buried deeper in the structure. Real investigations […]

NASS moves to clear air on disputed gazetted tax laws

The National Assembly has announced steps to clarify alleged discrepancies between versions of recently passed tax laws and the copies already gazetted and circulated to the public.​It has directed the Clerk of the National Assembly to release certified true copies of all tax bills signed by President Bola Tinubu, including the certificate pages, so Nigerians can review and verify the documents themselves.​ Officials said the move responds to public concerns after a lawmaker, Abdulsamad Dasuki, claimed that the texts passed by the two chambers differ from the gazetted versions of the Nigeria Tax Act, Nigerian Tax Administration Act, National Revenue Service Act and Joint Revenue Board Act.​The House of Representatives had earlier set up a seven member committee to investigate the alleged changes and ordered the re gazetting of the tax laws, but its report is still pending.​ The National […]

Expert urges FG to adopt AI to transform public service

Data scientist Gbolahan Temilorun has called on the Federal Government to make Artificial Intelligence a core part of ongoing public service reforms, arguing that it can boost efficiency, transparency and citizen engagement across ministries and agencies. He said rising public expectations, rapid population growth and limited resources mean Nigeria must embrace smarter ways of governing or risk falling behind countries already modernising with AI.​ Temilorun explained that AI refers to computer systems capable of tasks such as decision making, pattern recognition and language processing, which can help governments respond faster and allocate resources more effectively. When embedded in public service delivery, he noted, AI can reduce delays, improve accountability and cut back on manual, fragmented processes that slow down service to citizens.​ One immediate use case he cited is intelligent digital reporting platforms that allow citizens to report damaged roads, […]

NAICOM Directs Insurance Customers to Link NIN to Policies

The National Insurance Commission (NAICOM) has issued a directive requiring all insurance companies and brokers in Nigeria to collect verifiable identity details—including the National Identification Number (NIN), Bank Verification Number (BVN), and Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) documents for corporate clients—before initiating or renewing any insurance policy. The directive, effective immediately, is designed to strengthen market transparency, fight financial crime, and align insurance with national integrity standards. Policies already in force must be updated to include the required identity details by December 31, 2025. For group/corporate coverage, comprehensive employee lists with all relevant data must be provided before activation. NAICOM warned that insurers and brokers failing to comply will face regulatory sanctions. The agency encourages customer sensitisation campaigns and will monitor compliance closely to ensure a more secure, resilient, and competitive insurance sector.

Africa’s Carbon Credit Deals With Blue Carbon Stall, Raising Oversight Concerns

Several African nations, including Liberia, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Kenya, and Nigeria, signed major carbon credit agreements with Dubai-based Blue Carbon in 2023 to protect forests and sell credits to global polluters. The deals promised revenue, environmental benefits, and local investment. However, within two years, these agreements stalled or vanished with little implementation. Liberia’s million-hectare deal was halted after concerns about transparency, lack of local consultation, and potential violations of land rights. Similar agreements in Zimbabwe, Zambia, and outside Africa (Papua New Guinea) failed to progress, often lapsing at the MOU stage. Background investigations found no trace of Blue Carbon or its projects in global carbon registry records. The company’s web presence and activities faded in 2025, and its offices could not be verified. Activists say the projects were primarily “greenwashing,” allowing polluters to claim climate action with no real impact or […]

Trump Signs Law to Release Epstein Files After Congressional Push

President Donald Trump has signed new legislation requiring the public release of government records on late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The move, seen as a reversal for Trump, followed rare bipartisan support in Congress and public demand for transparency. The “Epstein Files Transparency Act” instructs the Justice Department to upload unclassified files, including transcripts, flight logs, and communications, online within a month—allowing only minimal exceptions for privacy and security. Abuse survivors and activists celebrated the bill’s passage, urging the administration not to delay or withhold information. Top Democrat Chuck Schumer and others cautioned against possible redactions or delays under the guise of ongoing investigations. Trump, once an associate of Epstein, signed the bill without ceremony, with some analysts warning his administration could still attempt procedural obstacles. Epstein’s arrest and later death in custody fueled suspicions of high-level cover-ups and public mistrust. The new law, passed following substantial pressure on Trump and Speaker Mike

Ruth Kadiri Calls Out Nollywood Trend of Buying YouTube Views

Nigerian actress and producer Ruth Kadiri has raised alarm over a growing trend of Nollywood filmmakers buying views on YouTube to artificially boost the perceived success of their films. Speaking at a session during the Africa International Film Festival (AFRIFF), Kadiri urged honest conversations about digital challenges facing the industry. She explained that the reliance on fake view numbers distorts the market, making it harder for hardworking filmmakers to get recognition based on real audience engagement. Kadiri noted that two years ago, a million views was a major achievement for independent producers—but now, for some, it’s just a baseline due to manipulated numbers. Her comments drew support and debate from industry peers, who acknowledged that inflated metrics can fuel unhealthy competition and distract from the importance of quality storytelling. Kadiri encouraged young filmmakers not to be pressured by online figures […]

In Reversal, Trump Supports House Vote to Release Epstein Files

US President Donald Trump has reversed his previous opposition by urging House Republicans to vote in favor of releasing all documents linked to convicted financier Jeffrey Epstein. Announcing his new stance via social media, Trump stated: “Vote to release the Epstein files, because we have nothing to hide.” The House will soon consider a bill mandating the Justice Department to disclose nearly all Epstein-related files, with sensitive details redacted to protect ongoing investigations and victims. Trump’s move comes after mounting bipartisan pressure and public demands for clarity on political figures’ connections to Epstein. Amid controversy and speculation over alleged links between Epstein and prominent politicians, Trump emphasized that the release would help dispel “Democrat hoax” claims, increase government accountability, and restore public trust. The measure’s growing Republican backing signals an important shift in the transparency debate ahead of the upcoming […]

PFAG Questions NAFCO Over GHC 100 Million Grain Purchase Fund

The Peasant Farmers Association of Ghana (PFAG) is urging the government to clarify how the GHC 100 million released to the National Food Buffer Stock Company (NAFCO) was utilized for purchasing surplus grains from farmers across the country. The fund, announced earlier this year, was meant to stabilize food prices and help farmers offload excess maize, rice, and other staples. But several months later, many farmers say they have not seen any evidence of direct purchases or financial support. PFAG’s Executive Director, Bismark Owusu Nortey, voiced concern about the situation: “I have not had any report from farmers saying they have sold their produce to NAFCO, which is why we are worried about where the GHC 100 million went.” Nortey acknowledged that some NAFCO-branded rice has been seen on the market but noted the lack of transparent data identifying which […]

Afaglo Urges Mahama to Extend ORAL Mandate to Probe NPP Corruption Cases

A senior member of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Novihoho Afaglo, has called on President John Dramani Mahama to extend the mandate of the Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL) task force to further investigate corruption cases linked to former officials of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) administration. Afaglo praised the joint work of ORAL and the Attorney-General’s Department, calling their partnership vital in exposing alleged financial irregularities and misuse of state resources meant for national development. He stated that without ORAL’s vigilance, “Nana Akufo-Addo’s appointees could have stolen millions from the state unnoticed.” According to him, ongoing investigations initiated under Mahama’s administration have already revealed “significant wrongdoing that cannot be ignored.” Afaglo stressed that the current wave of revelations should serve as a warning to all serving public officials, urging them to remember that their roles are meant to uplift […]
