In today's episode, the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation has hiked the fuel pump price—from ₦617 to ₦897 per litre. This price surge comes just days after the NNPC admitted to owing suppliers over $6 billion. How will this affect Nigerians' daily lives, and is the country any closer to solving its fuel crisis?
Next, we look at the health sector, where tensions are high between the Federal Ministry of Health and the Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors. The doctors’ warning strike has evoked a controversial “no-work-no-pay” rule from the government. What does this mean for the future of healthcare in Nigeria?
Then, we turn our attention to a humanitarian crisis on the rise. The International Committee of the Red Cross has reported a 75% increase in missing persons cases across Africa in the last five years. Can anything be done to curb this problem?
