🎓 If you are a student, staff member, alumnus, parent, or simply interested in the story of University of Nigeria, Nsukka hostels, come closer. Did you know that beyond the N44,000 hostel accommodation and allocation fee reportedly paid by each student, the Federal Government also disbursed a total of N594.6m between 2022–2025 for hostel-related projects in the university, largely for rehabilitation and a few construction works? In 2025 alone, a total sum of N125.79m was paid for the same purpose. This is aside from other allocations made to the institution for different needs. With an average of four students to a room in many cases, students and other stakehoders deserve to know: 🏠 Which hostels were rehabilitated? 🏠 What exact work was done? 🏠 Which contractors received these funds? 🏠 Were the projects completed to standard? 🏠 Why are accommodation pressures still common? Public education funds must translate into decent living conditions, safe hostels, and better welfare for students. We are publishing the list below so stakeholders can see who got what and for what purpose. If Nigeria must work, public institutions must answer questions and public money must show results. #publicfundsmustworkforthegoodofthepeople

In crisis comms, you’re not just managing information but you’re managing trust over time. And trust tends to follow this rule: People forgive mistakes more easily than they forgive dishonesty. But when truth is established for those who amplified or misjudged it what happens?

🗣️Dear Nigerians, In case you haven’t seen this yet…👇🏽 Nigeria hasn’t conducted a credible population census since 2006. That means for almost 20 years, decisions about school, hospitals, and resource allocation have been based on estimates. Now, the interesting part is, between 2022 and 2023, N129.5 billion was disbursed for the 2023 population census. And that money went into: 📌 N118.38 billion for Personal Digital Assistants 📌 N2.47 billion for Hilux vehicles 📌 N499.8 million for power banks 📌 N106.19 million for an e-recruitment portal @TrackaNG wrote to the National Population Commission requesting full details under the Freedom of Information Act. The law requires a response within 7 days. It’s been over 3 weeks, no response. So we’re asking: WHAT HAPPENED TO THE MONEY? Public funds demand public accountability!! #GetInvolved #AskQuestions

Mof releases PFM Compliance League Table. The Ministry of Finance has developed a Public Financial Management (PFM) Compliance League Table, a landmark transparency and accountability initiative aimed at strengthening fiscal discipline and improving the management of public resources. The PFM Compliance League Table fulfills the Government’s commitment in the 2025 Budget Statement to publish an objective, evidence-based assessment of how public institutions comply with the PFM Act, 2016 (Act 921), its Regulations and associated laws. The League Table serves as a performance benchmarking tool that measures the extent to which public institutions adhere to the rules and procedures governing the use of public funds. By constructively ranking institutions based on their level of compliance, the Ministry seeks to deepen transparency, promote accountability, and encourage continuous improvement across the public sector in the management and use of public resources. The League Table highlights institutions with significant compliance gaps, underscoring the need for targeted corrective actions and stronger enforcement measures. In line with its statutory mandate, the Ministry of Finance, through the PFM Compliance Division, will take firm steps to address persistent non-compliance going forward. The Ministry will engage Covered entities that recorded low compliance scores and help them to identify gaps in their PFM compliance systems. Below is the ranking of the selected covered entities
