Nigeria is facing a “play deficit.”
The loss of parks, school sports, and shared recreational spaces is quietly affecting social cohesion, youth talent, creativity, and mental health.
Recreation is not a luxury.
It is social infrastructure.
A nation that stops playing together may slowly stop holding together.

Should a country borrow to pay its own salaries?
From 2020 to Q2 2025, federal recurrent spending has outrun revenue every single year. The 2021 gap alone — ₦4.04tn — was bigger than the entire federal capital budget.
In 2026, ₦46 of every ₦100 the FG plans to spend will come from new borrowing.
The law says borrowing is for roads, schools and clinics. Not salaries.

Setting the tone for 2026
Our CISD team came together for a strategic retreat to reflect on our impact, sharpen our vision, and recommit to working with excellence and purpose. We looked back on key milestones from 2025 — including the #KnowTheDebt campaign, which brought national attention to Nigeria’s rising public debt and the urgent need for accountability.
As we move into 2026, our focus remains clear: advancing inclusive, transparent, and people-centered governance.
The work continues.
The people remain at the center.
