- Description
- In a move described as a "competitiveness shock" for the region, the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) has officially announced a sweeping fiscal reform to dismantle the high cost of air travel.
Effective January 1, 2026, all member states are mandated to eliminate non-aviation taxes and significantly reduce service charges. For decades, West Africa has held the unenviable title of the most expensive region for air travel globally—where taxes can account for up to 70% of a single ticket’s price.
The decision follows a decade of research confirming that prohibitive costs have stifled the ECOWAS mission of free movement. Under the current system, a trader traveling from Lagos to Dakar might pay upwards of $3,000 for a ticket, much of which is composed of "disguised taxation" like solidarity fees and tourism levies.
Director of Transport and Telecommunications, Chris Appiah, noted that these charges violate the International Civ...

- The United States’ Christmas Day air strikes on alleged ISIS targets in northwest Nigeria have continued to generate questions, reactions, and concerns both locally and internationally.
On December 25, U.S. President Donald Trump announced that American forces had carried out air strikes on terrorist bases linked to the Islamic State group in Nigeria.
The announcement initially sparked anxiety among Nigerians, with many questioning whether the country’s sovereignty had been breached.
However, Nigerian authorities later clarified that the operation was a joint effort, approved by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
According to Nigeria’s Information Minister, Mohammed Idris, the strikes were carried out with the full involvement of the Armed Forces of Nigeria.
Washington says the strikes targeted militants affiliated with the Islamic State, with the U.S. Africa Command confirming that there were multiple casualties, thoug...

- A usual Saturday afternoon turned disruptive at Primary School Ajegunle, off Ita-Oluwo, Ikorodu, when community members caught an alleged child kidnapper attempting to kidnap a young boy in the area. On December 27th, 2025, residents of Supreme CDA Malato, off Ita-Oluwo Bustop in Ikorodu, narrated how the event unfolded.
A little boy had gone to buy snacks nearby, and on his way back, the alleged kidnapper tried to lure him, but he took to his heels. The attention of some young men in the neighborhood was drawn to the young boy running, and they asked him what was going on before he pointed to the man, who was disguised as a madman. They challenged the man, who then attempted to run away, before he was eventually caught.
The suspect, when caught, didn't have any tangible explanation to refute the allegations against him. After being severely beaten, a journalist from The Guardian, who was not too far from the community, arrived and prevented the mob from carry...

- 6 months ago
- Description
- Nairobi County has set a historic precedent in East Africa. In a landmark decision approved by Governor Johnson Sakaja, female employees under the Nairobi City County government have been granted two fully paid menstrual health days every month.
This new policy is not a sick leave deduction; it is a standalone entitlement designed to acknowledge the biological reality millions of women face. Under this new framework, women no longer need to feign illness or power through debilitating pain. The policy aims to dignify the workplace, boost long-term productivity, and reduce the stigma surrounding menstruation.
So, what are Nigerian women enjoying by comparison?
Unlike their counterparts in Nairobi’s public sector, the vast majority of Nigerian women are not enjoying government-mandated menstrual leave.
There is currently no provision in Nigerian Labour Law granting paid time off specifically for menstruation. For most especially in th...

- As the Christmas and New Year festivities draw near, thousands of Nigerians are on the move, travelling across states to reunite with family and loved ones. But for many interstate drivers, this season of joy comes with heightened challenges. We spoke with commercial drivers plying routes from Lagos to Abuja, Kogi, Niger, and Abakaliki, who shared their experiences navigating Nigeria’s highways during this busy festive period and what they want the government to urgently fix.
Here’s what they told us.

- Unregistered Point-of-Sale terminals across Nigeria may soon be seized, as the Federal Government tightens regulation on the fintech and agent-banking space.
The Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) says from January 1, all PoS operators must be formally registered, warning that any terminal operating outside the system risks being shut down or confiscated.
The announcement, made in early December, also places fintech companies under scrutiny, with the CAC warning that platforms enabling unregistered agents could be reported to the Central Bank of Nigeria.
This is not the first time the government has raised the issue. The CAC has previously issued deadlines and extensions for PoS registration, but officials say compliance has remained low, prompting this tougher enforcement.
According to the Commission, the move is aimed at bringing PoS operators under one regulatory umbrella, in line with the Companies and Allied Matters Act and CBN guidelin...

This week, residents in the area were united in tears as the Lagos State government continued its massive wave of demolition exercises that reduced once-vibrant communities in the state to rubble, leaving the families who occupied them homeless to make way for something they call progress. David Meshioye was on the ground to report the devastating impact.

Addressing the APC National Caucus at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, Tinubu told governors and senior party figures that leadership must now be exercised “down to the local government level, warning that political gains can only be sustained through flexibility, accommodation and active engagement across all tiers of government.
“You are in a leadership position that must continue to promote tolerance and flexibility,” he said, stressing that the success of ongoing reforms depends on coordination between the Federal Government, states and local councils.

- Natural disasters in 2025 have been nothing short of brutal, tearing through communities on every continent and exposing just how vulnerable the world remains.
