₦4 Billion Disbursed. So Why Is Gamboru-Ngala Road Still This Bad? From Sept 2024 to Dec 2025, over N4bn has been disbursed to the Construction of Gamboru-Ngala Road axis, Borno State. Yet, on the ground, the road remains in a deplorable state. The only visible intervention has been the dumping of red sand on some sections. An intervention that, according to road users, has further worsened the condition of the road. During the rainy season, or when a vehicle breaks down, the resulting gridlock can leave travellers stranded for days, sometimes weeks, and on occasion, close to a month, exposing travellers to serious safety risks. We call on @FMWNIG, and the @BornoGovt to provide the public with details of how the funds disbursed for this project was used and to urgently mobilise the contractor to site.

BREAKING: Starlink just helped make medical history in Africa! 🇳🇬 Using a Starlink internet connection, a surgeon near Lagos remotely controlled a robot to remove a cancerous kidney from a patient in Abuja, around 500 km away, in West Africa’s first tele-robotic surgery.

Your Local Government is responsible for many of the services and facilities you interact with every day. The Fourth Schedule of the Nigerian Constitution outlines key functions of Local Government Councils, including roads, markets, waste management, and participation in primary education and health services. In the first half of 2026 alone, Local Governments received N3.04 trillion from FAAC. That’s N3.04 trillion going to the tier of government closest to you. Knowing what your Local Government receives and how the money is budgeted helps you keep track of what is happening in your community. That’s why me.budgit.org was created. Check your State and Local Government monthly allocations, see projects in your area and how much was budgeted for them. Today is a good day to start. Visit me.budgit.org and know what’s happening in your community. #GetInvolved #AskQuestions

The discovery of an alleged illegal juice production facility in Badagry, Lagos, by the @NSCDCrops raises a bigger question beyond the arrest of suspects: How did a facility producing and distributing adulterated drinks get to the point of reaching consumers? According to reports, the facility was allegedly producing “Barkas Juice” using water, synthetic flavourings, industrial sweeteners, colourants and other additives, with packaged products prepared for distribution to markets. Meanwhile, @NafdacAgency has the statutory responsibility to regulate food products and inspect manufacturing facilities to ensure that what reaches Nigerians meets safety and quality standards. This is why the issue should not end with an arrest. It should prompt a wider review of how unregistered food manufacturers operate, how products enter markets, how fake registration numbers are detected, and how regulatory agencies share intelligence before potentially harmful products get into the hands of consumers. This reported case also comes amid recurring concerns about proliferation of adulterated and substandard products across Nigeria. The focus should therefore be on stronger preventive regulation, regular surveillance, effective enforcement and better coordination among regulatory and security agencies. Citizens should not have to discover unsafe products only after they have reached the market. We commend the @NSCDCrops for acting on intelligence and urge the relevant regulatory authorities, particularly @NafdacAgency, to thoroughly investigate the facility, and make the outcome of the investigation public. Public health protection requires more than enforcement after the fact. It requires a regulatory system that detects risks early and keeps unsafe products away from Nigerians. #GetInvolved
