"The Sovereignty Bill in Uganda is less about shielding states from foreign control and more about managing dissent through legal language, turning regulation into a tool for limiting who gets to speak, organise, and question authority." - @Dev_Diaries

1/4 We strongly condemn the @NigerStateNG Governor’s (@HonBago) directive to shut down Badeggi FM 90.1 in Bida.
This is an unlawful act and a threat to press freedom in #Nigeria. #PressFreedom

When traffic becomes a classroom.
In Kano, children should be in classrooms, not on the streets begging, hawking, or cleaning car windows in traffic.

We’re stunned by the lightning-fast prosecution of Dele Farotimi following his arrest on Tuesday. Why isn’t the same urgency applied to the 57,750 inmates still awaiting trial across Nigeria?

MahGana is one of the girls in Borno State who has to hawk goods during school hours to help her family survive. This is one of the glaring gaps in the state's need for a gender-responsive education sector plan.

Oyo State has been operating without an Education Sector Plan, a strategic document that offers a vision for the schooling system and identifies the ways to achieve it, since 2022.

It has now been 64 years since Nigeria gained independence.
Beyond the celebrations, Nigerians must look inward and ask critical questions of where the nation is, and where it is headed.

The move to repeal the Violence Against Persons (Prohibition) (VAPP) Act 2015, through a bill sponsored by Senator Isah Jibrin, has generated diverse reactions. An assessment of the Repeal Bill reveals the sections that raise concerns, justifying the agitation of many Nigerians.
In this video, we explore the potential consequences of repealing the VAPP Act and propose actions that should be taken instead.
Watch the full video here: youtu.be/m7P3tVU0hj4
Dear @NGRSenate, repealing the VAPP Act is not necessary. Why not review it?
We urge all Nigerians and advocacy groups to closely monitor this development while engaging lawmakers to ensure the VAPP Act is reviewed, not repealed.

Lagos police have chased journalists away from Freedom Park in Ojota. Hoodlums wielding clubs and other dangerous weapons also harassed and assaulted the journalists.
The police watched from a distance, then turned away without lifting a finger.

We condemn the recent violence resulting from the ongoing #EndBadGovernance protest.
Protesters must ensure they peacefully carry out their demonstrations as violent protests are unlawful.
