One of Nigeria’s foremost policy groups, the Independent Media and Policy Initiative (IMPI) has justified the borrowings of the President Bola Tinubu administration on the ground that it is the most realistic way to bridge the country’s massive infrastructure gap.

This according to IMPI is because the country is estimated to require a minimum annual spend of $14.2 billion over the next 10 years to…
A fact grounded examination of what Nigeria owes, what it has paid, and who is profiting from the confusion by OLABODE OPESEITAN In Nigeria, the agbada, that magnificent, wide flowing gown, can signal wisdom or conceal mischief depending on the wearer. It can be the costume of authority just as it can be the costume of performance. When some Nigerians recently stormed the World Bank’s social media pages to beg the institution not to lend their government another dollar, they wore their outrage like an agbada. It was voluminous, eye catching, and concealing everything underneath. Underneath, in this case, was…

Fellow party men and women, I am pleased to witness this historic moment in the annals of our party. The party we formed just like yesterday is gearing up for its fourth election cycle. It is a source of pride for me, and I believe for all our distinguished leaders and teeming members. We founded the All Progressives Congress (APC) on the firm principles of progressive politics, consensus democracy, and personal devotion and sacrifice. This principle of selflessness and devotion has seen us go through each election cycle and come out firmer together. We must consolidate on it as we…
The Ogun State Government has described Senator Gbenga Daniel’s recent allegations against Governor Dapo Abiodun as the “rantings of a drowning politician,” accusing the former governor of shamelessly turning against the same consensus political arrangement that facilitated his emergence as the Ogun East Senatorial candidate in 2023.

Daniel, while speaking during his…

The message is simple: Nigeria remains one of the most profitable…
