Nigerian presidency: news, scandals, policy and accountability

When the word 'presidency' comes up in Nigeria, it usually means decisions that touch everyday life - budgets, schools, security, and how public money is handled. This tag gathers reporting, sharp analysis, and updates on those decisions so you can see who is acting, who is asking questions, and what changes matter.

Expect original reporting and clear explanations. We cover major policy moves, court fights, corruption probes, and election developments. For example, our report on the missing N71.2bn from the Nigeria Education Loan Fund shows how a presidential program can unravel and what watchdogs like the ICPC are being asked to do. You’ll find timelines, named officials, and the practical effects on students and public services.

Why follow this tag? Because the presidency sets priorities. A single directive can change school funding, health budgets, or which projects win contracts. If you care about local services or national direction, these stories explain the link between presidential choices and what happens on the ground. We break down complex moves into clear takeaways so you know what to expect next.

How we cover it. We focus on facts, documents, and voices from inside the story. Expect interviews with activists, officials, and experts. We track investigations, cite key figures, and list dates so you can follow developments without guessing. Our posts flag verified claims and point to official statements when available. When a scandal breaks, we outline what steps regulators can take and what citizens should watch for.

What you'll read here. Short analyses of policy shifts, updates on probes and court cases, background explainers on presidential power, and quick guides to what major announcements mean for ordinary people. We also highlight regional and international angles when presidential actions affect trade, foreign relations, or donor funding.

This tag aims to make the Nigerian presidency easier to follow. No jargon, no spin - just clear updates and useful context so you can see what the presidency actually means for Nigerians today.

We also monitor elections, cabinet reshuffles, policy rollouts, and international visits. Expect explainers on how changes in fuel policy, budget priorities, or security operations will affect daily life. We unpack jargon like 'fiscal transfers' or 'executive orders' in plain language. If you want deep reads, look for our longform pieces that trace a story from first leak to final court ruling. Your feedback helps shape coverage. Tell us what matters.
