- Description
- The debate over the introduction of state police in Nigeria has resurfaced as insecurity continues to affect different parts of the country, including insurgency in the North-East, banditry in the North-West, kidnapping, farmer-herder conflicts, and rising urban crime.
Supporters of state policing argue that Nigeria’s size, population, and diverse security challenges require decentralised policing systems capable of faster response times, stronger community intelligence networks, and improved local accountability.

- Description
- The Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) has issued a warning to oil marketers, urging them to reduce petrol prices in line with the recent decline in global crude oil prices or risk regulatory sanctions. The Commission says its ongoing monitoring of Nigeria’s downstream petroleum sector has revealed limited transmission of reduced crude costs to consumers.
According to the FCCPC, recent price adjustments by refiners, depot operators, and marketers remain minimal despite sustained decreases in global oil benchmarks. This has raised concerns about possible consumer exploitation in the fuel supply chain.

- Description
- This commentary draws on Netflix’s The Polygamist to examine broader questions around trust, leadership, and accountability in society. The story of Janasi, a man who maintains multiple versions of the truth across relationships while presenting each as complete, is used as a lens to explore how promises shape expectations and how repeated inconsistencies erode confidence over time.
The reflection connects this narrative to everyday realities, including economic pressure on households, rising living costs, strained transport systems, and public frustration over service delivery gaps.
