Following the enactment of the 2024 minimum wage law, which raised workers’ pay from ₦30,000 to ₦70,000, some states have set wages above the new benchmark, while others are paying exactly the minimum. Beyond official announcements by state governors, we want to hear from you: has the new minimum wage been implemented where you work? Share your experience in the comments. #WorkersDay #MayDay #Nigeria #MinimumWage #Labour @ilo @NLCHeadquarters

Since Nigeria returned to democratic rule in 1999, election costs have risen sharply from ₦32 billion in 1999 to over ₦355 billion in 2023. Ahead of 2027, the Independent National Electoral Commission has proposed ₦873.78 billion for the next general elections, a 145% increase from 2023. A review by Dataphyte shows that over ₦900 billion has already been spent across seven election cycles since 1999. Read the article: dataphyte.com/topic/election…

₦68.32 trillion. That is the size of Nigeria’s 2026 budget. But what does it really prioritize? With ₦32.2 trillion for capital projects, ₦15.8 trillion for debt servicing, and ₦15.4 trillion for recurrent spending, the numbers tell a story of ambition, obligation, and tough trade-offs. From ₦5.41 trillion on security to ₦2.48 trillion on health, where will the real impact be felt? And more importantly are these allocations shaping the Nigeria we need, or just sustaining the one we have?

Nigeria’s capital inflow structure is tilted toward short-term investment. With interest rates around 26.75%, foreign portfolio flows are concentrated in Treasury bills and sovereign debt, with the banking sector absorbing about 59% of inflows. As a result, the gains are largely financial, with limited spillovers into job creation, wages, and real-sector output. dataphyte.com/issue/marina-m…
