The narrative framing killings by Fulani herdsmen and terrorists in Nigeria’s Middle Belt as mere “herder-farmer clashes” driven by climate change is a dangerous distortion that excuses mass murder. This fraudulent argument claims herders, facing desertification and scarce grazing, encroach on farmlands, sparking violence-a global issue supposedly justifying bloodshed. Yet climate change afflicts all Nigerians, not just Fulani herders, exposing the selectivity of this excuse.

Dangers in altering statutory provisions after passage By Vanguard Editorial Board on December 24, 2025: Recommended Nigerian Newspaper Report 9

The Nigerian tax system has undergone significant transformation in recent years, driven by the need to modernise tax administration, eliminate obsolete provisions, and enhance revenue generation for sustainable economic development.

Not surprising, a number of comprehensive tax legislations, the Nigeria Tax Act 2025, Nigeria Tax Administration Act 2025, Nigeria Revenue Service (Establishment) Act 2025, and the Joint Revenue Board of Nigeria (Establishment) Act 2025, were enacted. However, recent revelations surrounding the new tax laws scheduled to commence in January 2026 have cast a long and troubling shadow over these reforms.

Tinubu’s anticlimactic ambassadorial list By Punch Editorial Board on December 17, 2025: Recommended Nigerian Newspaper Report 8

Tinubu’s anticlimactic ambassadorial list By Punch Editorial Board on December 17, 2025: Recommended Nigerian Newspaper Report 8

AFTER two years of navigating a self-imposed wilderness in the complex world of international diplomacy, Nigeria is set to send new ambassadors abroad in the New Year.

This follows President Bola Tinubu’s reopening of the détente by nominating 68 persons for ambassadorial postings, starting with three on 26 November.

Unfortunately, the ambassadorial lists were unveiled only after more than half of Tinubu’s tenure had elapsed. This is not just a bureaucratic oversight; it betrays a lack of understanding of the exigencies of modern statecraft.

Economy in 2025: Marked recovery, but poverty persists By Punch Editorial Board on December 24, 2025: Recommended Nigerian Newspaper Report 7

The year 2025 marked a tentative recovery for Nigeria’s economy, with real GDP growth accelerating to an average of around 3.9 per cent from 2.98 per cent in 2024, propelled by services-led expansion and policy reforms.

Yet this progress was not evenly felt. Soaring food inflation eroded household gains, public debt ballooned, and capital expenditure under the “Budget of Restoration” faltered badly. While GDP rebasing and external improvements offered glimmers of hope, translating aggregate gains into inclusive prosperity remains elusive.

Beyond the 2025 surge in foreign capital inflows By Guardian Editorial Board on December 22, 2025: Recommended Nigerian Newspaper Report 6

Beyond the 2025 surge in foreign capital inflows By Guardian Editorial Board on December 22, 2025: Recommended Nigerian Newspaper Report 6

The reported increased inflow of foreign capital to the country, as stated by Yemi Cardoso, the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), at the Chartered Institute of Bankers of Nigeria (CIBN) 60th annual bankers’ dinner in Lagos, can be rightly described as some form of cheery news for a beleaguered economy seeking some respite for stability. As the ordinary person has yet to feel the impact of such development on their economic circumstances, the sense of hope for a better functioning economy could be the takeaway at this point in time.
