By Usman Abdullahi Koli The giant of Africa, Nigeria is transitioning into a new administration under a new democratically elected President. The country, in the past eight years witnessed transformation in different sectors of the economy, yet challenges are inevitable as they hinder smooth implementation of budgets. Sectors like Agriculture, Transport as well as Education have achieved a lot as farm produce have rose which lowered the level of importation of food items.

 By: Zuhuriyya Yusuf Jibrin Nigeria is a country with a rich history and a diverse population, but it has faced numerous challenges in recent years. From political instability to economic struggles, Nigeria has been grappling with a range of issues that have hindered its progress and development. However, there is hope that this moment can be a turning point for the country, and that with the right approach, Nigerians can work together to address these challenges and build a brighter future. One of the key areas where Nigeria needs to put hands on deck is in its political system. Nigeria has a long history of political corruption and nepotism, which has led to a lack of accountability and transparency in government. This has resulted in a system that is not responsive to the needs of the people, and that has failed to deliver the basic services that citizens deserve. To address this challenge, Nigerians need to come together and demand a more accountable and transparent political s...

  By: Florence Sunday Agriculture is the backbone of the Nigerian economy, providing employment, food security, and income for millions of Nigerians. The sector is also a significant contributor to the country's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and a source of foreign exchange earnings.

Therefore, agriculture deserves utmost priority in Nigeria for several reasons. Firstly, agriculture is the largest employer of labor in Nigeria, providing jobs for over 60% of the population. Prioritizing agriculture would create more employment opportunities, especially in rural areas, where most farming activities take place. This would not only reduce unemployment but also alleviate poverty in the country. Secondly, agriculture is a major source of food for the Nigerian population. With a rapidly growing population, there is a need t...
