An epidemic of chronic diseases is taking hold in #EastAsiaPacific, affecting workers in their prime and increasing pressure on health systems and economies. What reforms in #PrimaryHealthCare can help build a healthier future for people in the region? wrld.bg/c6ma50YYxZj

The @NGRSenate's effort to compel the immediate past Group Chief Executive Officer of the @nnpclimited, @MKKyari, to respond to audit queries concerning the alleged N210 tr unaccounted funds highlights the critical role of transparency and accountability in public financial management. Nigerians deserve clear, evidence-based explanations for how public resources are managed. Oversight institutions must be allowed to carry out their constitutional responsibilities without interference, while all public officials entrusted with managing national assets must fully cooperate with lawful investigations. Accountability is not a favour; it is a constitutional obligation. Public funds must be traceable, public institutions must be transparent and public officials must remain answerable to the people. As concerns continue to grow over the management of public resources, this process presents an opportunity to strengthen public trust through openness, scrutiny, and full disclosure. #Askquestions #Publicfundsmustworkforthegoodofthepeople

📸 Highlights from the National Stakeholders’ Meeting on the Social and Citizen Accountability for Primary Health Care Performance (SCAPP) Project in Abuja. Convened by BudgIT and the Health Sector Reform Coalition (HSRC), the meeting brought together government representatives, health workers, civil society organisations, development partners, traditional and religious leaders, media practitioners, and community representatives to reflect on lessons from one year of SCAPP implementation across Kaduna State.

Three years ago, a bowl of rice cost ₦600. Today, it’s ₦2,000. A bag of water increased from ₦150 to ₦500. Petrol jumped from ₦198 to ₦1,320. That’s a 566% increase that didn't stay at the pump; it followed you to the market, your gas cylinder, and your child’s plate. Three years in, silence is not neutrality. While we track what power ignores, we all must acknowledge that accountability does not begin in Abuja. It starts when citizens know the numbers and refuse to look away. What has the squeeze cost you? Share your experience in the comments. 👇

🗣️Dear Nigerians, If someone told you Nigeria pulled in $10.37bn in foreign capital in the first three months of 2026 (Q1 2026), you would probably ask what changed. Fair question. The number is real. An 83% jump from Q1 last year (2025), when total inflows stood at $5.64bn. The overall figure is only part of the story. Almost all of the increase came from portfolio investment, the kind of money that comes in when the numbers look good and leaves when they don't. That category alone brought in $9.86bn, nearly 90% more than a year ago. Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), the kind that builds factories and creates jobs, rose just 7% to $135.08m. Other investments added $374.48m in Q1 2026. So yes, more foreign money is coming into Nigeria. The money is here. Whether it stays is what matters. #AskQuestion #DataofTheDay

AI is already shaping how we work, learn, and solve problems. At BudgIT, we are making sure civic actors have the skills to confidently use it in their everyday work and communities. Last week, we hosted the AI Clinic for Civic Impact in Kano, bringing together civil society actors, journalists, researchers, students, and civic tech enthusiasts for two days of learning and hands-on practice. Participants explored how AI can be applied in practical, everyday ways across different areas of work, including: 📌 Understanding AI in simple, practical terms 📌 Using AI tools for research, advocacy, storytelling, and communication 📌 Writing clear prompts to improve the quality of AI outputs 📌 Automating routine tasks to save time and improve efficiency 📌 Applying AI to monitoring, evaluation, and learning 📌 Using AI responsibly and ethically in civic work Across the sessions, participants worked through real examples, tested ideas, and explored how these tools can support their roles across civil society, media, academia, and civic technology. We’re excited to see how they take these skills forward and apply them to strengthen their work and deepen impact in their communities. #GetInvolved

Creativity is inventing, experimenting, growing, taking risks, breaking rules, making mistakes and having fun” - Mary Lou Cook @TechpointAfrica @truorganicafric @Proximateagro @MarvelStudios @technextdotng @FAOKnowledge @FAOclimate @FAOForestry @GlobalGoalsUN @vitabridgeinfo

"The gains are real. A more credible exchange rate, rebuilt reserves, sovereign upgrades from S&P and Moody's, the reinstatement of FTSE Russell frontier indices, the FATF grey-list exit, banking recapitalisation, and a re-rating of the equity market all point to restored external confidence. The pain is also real, concentrated in food, fuel, transport, power and rent, with the poverty share higher and insecurity escalating."- @proshare "Three years into the reform programme that began with subsidy removal, foreign-exchange market liberalisation, tax reform and trade liberalisation, the FDC-LBS reading is deliberately balanced, weighing the period as 15% cheers, 30% tears and 55% fears." - @FDC_ltd in their June 2026 report referenced here proshare.co/articles/june-…

The pattern is clear. Nigeria earns, then pays debt. It earns more, then pays more debt. By the time anything is left for roads, hospitals, or schools, much of it is already gone. Read that again. Now, let’s talk about the growing debt. In 2021, Nigeria’s debt stood at N33.1 trillion. By mid-2025, it had climbed to N149.29 trillion. That kind of growth affects how resources are allocated, what gets funded, and what gets left behind. 🎥 Watch the full breakdown of how Nigeria’s debt has grown, what is driving it, and what it means for development going forward. #FollowTheMoney #AskQuestions

In 2024, only 21 of Nigeria’s 36 states reported any local government internally generated revenue (IGR). According to the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), no figures were captured for the remaining 15. Those 21 states accounted for N39.40 billion in total, with Bauchi on top at N7.50 billion and Imo at the bottom with just N72.15 million. Lagos, which led the year before with N10.49 billion, did not appear on the 2024 list at all. Local governments were granted financial autonomy in 2024. But if states still cannot account for what their councils generated under the old system, the harder question is whether autonomy will be any more transparent than what it replaced. #GetInvolved #DataofTheDay
