[Accountability Lab Nigeria @accountlabng]

Women in Nigeria’s informal economy contribute significantly to household incomes and local economies. Yet, unpaid care work and gaps in essential services such as water, childcare, transport and healthcare limit their trading hours, earnings and economic opportunities. These challenges are compounded when public budgets fail to reflect their needs.

🇳🇬 On Democracy Day, @progintl’s newest member @fiwonNg took to the streets with a warning: poverty, unemployment and exclusion are fuelling Nigeria’s insecurity.

For informal workers — 93% of Nigeria’s workforce — democracy too often means “the freedom to struggle alone.

@AyowoleSanyaolu Nigerians don't need persuasion to convince them that they are hungry. An hungry woman needs no one to remind her of her hunger. She needs some immediate succor and serious leadership.
