As Health Commissioners gather in Abuja to discuss primary health care financing, I argue that the first step begins with adequate budgetary allocation by the states.

Nigeria is a constitutional democracy and journalism is an important building block in our democratic process. Journalism is not a crime. Libel is a civil issue, not a police matter.

It is time we join in condemning the @PoliceNG and their frequent arrest of journalists.

[The ICIR @TheICIR]

Our Executive Director of The International Centre for Investigative (ICIR), Dayo Aiyetan [@dayoaiyetan ], and our reporter Nurudeen Akewushola [@NurudeenAkewus1 ] of The (ICIR) were released and left the Nigeria Police Force Cybercrime Centre at 9:15 tonight.

The reporter was released on bail to the International Press Institute (IPI) [@IPCng] President, Mojeed Muskilu [@Musikilu] after 9 hours of honouring the police invitation.

We are thankful for the support and concern we have received.

Last week, supported by colleagues, I appeared before the Global Cooperation Caucus of the Canadian Parliament, where I urged them to lend their voice to calls for a Canada-Africa Strategy. Happy to see MP @DaveEppCKL leading the charge during today's hearing.

Canada is approaching total irrelevance in the world's fastest-growing continent, experts argue.

"Africa is going to friend-zone Canada if the current approach remains, because it's lukewarm," - Stanley Achonu, the Nigeria director, One Campaign.

@WorldBank more than half of the low-income countries in or at risk of debt distress are in Africa. If nothing is done to help these countries, 16M people risk falling into extreme poverty.

We need urgent action on sustainable finance for these countries. https://t.co/TO3wUJHJWa

The @WorldBank President must urgently prioritize reforms that put resources where it is urgently needed. #FundTheFuture

President of the Nigeria Senate, in plenary with his colleagues, having a laugh at the poverty Nigerians endure.

This levity, with which they treat a serious issue like extreme poverty, is an assault on our sensibilities. 130 million out of 200 million Nigerians live in poverty.

[Abdullahi Misilli @Abdallahmisilli]

All the tenth senate are not serious.

I had warned that govt must understand why despite the investment of the last 8 years, the result is more people in poverty.

The govt is going to continue where the last administration stopped without as much as determining if the program delivered result.

@Stan_Achonu, ONE Nigeria Country Director: “As 🇳🇬 grapples with rising debt, vulnerable citizens are disproportionately impacted due to a lack of government support. The challenges are not insurmountable, but only if the leaders are willing to act quickly before it is too late.”

Some good news: after 7 years of concerted effort, Nigeria has launched its public beneficial ownership register. Kudos to @edwindaniels1, @Stan_Achonu, @OpenOwnership and many others who fought hard for this. https://t.co/YN2LKRfSQw

The effort-outcome mismatch in the fight against poverty over the years necessitates that the next govt conduct a comprehensive impact assessment of previous poverty alleviation programmes – particularly the Conditional Cash Transfer

[S Achonu @Stan_Achonu]

About 130 million people in Nigeria live in poverty and every year, that number keeps increasing. We need to evaluate poverty alleviation interventions from the past and scope out sustainable solutions that will lift millions of Nigerians out of poverty. #MakeNaijaStronger

[ARISE NEWS @ARISEtv]

We have implemented conditional cash transfers to the poor and vulnerable without pursuing the condition. This challenge must be immediately addressed by the incoming administration, we tend in Nigeria to restrict poverty alleviation within the purview of the federal government
