Nigerians recall harsh 2025 but hope for relief in 2026

Many Nigerians say 2025 was one of the hardest years in recent times, marked by rising prices, insecurity and deep uncertainty. In spite of this, they are looking to 2026 with cautious hope that living conditions will improve.​ In Owerri, some residents described 2025 as a year of crippling hardship, especially for people in small businesses and daily trading. A trader, Chinonso Nze, said the economic climate was poor and that surviving the year felt like a miracle for many families.​ He blamed the hardship on high inflation and worsening insecurity that made travel dangerous in many parts of the country. According to him, kidnappings and attacks on highways left commuters feeling unsafe and afraid to move freely.​ Nze also expressed concern about a new tax regime expected to take effect in 2026, warning that it could further strain already […]

ASUU demands salary review, says lecturers’ welfare is a fundamental right

The Academic Staff Union of Universities, Enugu State University of Science and Technology branch, has called for an urgent review of staff salaries, declaring that lecturers’ welfare is a fundamental right, not a privilege. The union said academics at the institution deserve a pay structure aligned with national benchmarks and the 25–35 per cent wage awards already implemented in other universities.​ ASUU argued that university teachers have endured the same salary scale for about 16 years despite repeated currency devaluations and soaring inflation. It maintained that the current pay package cannot sustain lecturers, stop brain drain or motivate quality teaching and research in Nigerian campuses.​ The union insisted that welfare, including fair remuneration, is a core component of workers’ fundamental rights and central to the survival of public universities. It rejected piecemeal wage awards it described as inadequate and called […]

NARD faults FG’s claims on doctors’ welfare, says “facts must replace fiction”

The Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors (NARD) has faulted the recent statement by the Federal Ministry of Health and Social Welfare titled “FG Reaffirms Commitment to Doctors’ Welfare and Industrial Harmony in the Health Sector,” describing it as misleading and disconnected from the realities faced by medical professionals across Nigeria. In a rejoinder issued on Monday, NARD accused the ministry of presenting an “optimistic narrative” that obscures the true challenges confronting doctors. “We do not intend to join issues with the Ministry, but for the sake of transparency, truth, and the health of Nigerians, it is imperative to set the records straight, particularly for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, who may have been misinformed about the true nature of our grievances,” the association said. According to NARD, the union has 19 outstanding demands repeatedly presented to the Federal Government. It described […]

ASUU Rejects FG Loan Offer, Calls It a Greek Gift

The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), University of Lagos (UNILAG) chapter, has rejected the federal government’s loan proposal for lecturers, describing it as a “Greek gift.” During a special congress held on campus Tuesday, the union said its members were not interested in loans but in the fulfillment of existing welfare agreements. Speaking to members after a solidarity march from the university’s main gate, the UNILAG Branch Chairman, Prof. Idowu Kehinde, stressed that the government should focus on paying lecturers their entitlements rather than offering loans. “The loans are to be guaranteed by our union. This is unnecessary. University governing councils can already provide loans to staff based on their conditions of service. If we are paid a living wage and our allowances are settled as agreed, no one will need to borrow money. Let the government do the […]
