Tinubu's government: clear updates that matter to you

The naira slipping past key levels and big federal moves are reshaping daily life in Nigeria. When currency rates, recruitment drives or stipend changes hit the headlines, you want straight answers: how will this affect your wallet, your job hunt, or basic services? This page pulls together the most relevant developments tied to Tinubu's government and explains what to watch next.

Economic pressure and the naira — what to expect

The exchange rate has been tight: the official naira recently climbed to about ₦1,581.58 per dollar while black-market rates moved above ₦1,615. That gap matters. Imports get pricier, fuel and food costs can rise, and savings in naira lose buying power fast. If you send or receive money from abroad, consider comparing remittance providers and watch for official Central Bank updates before making big moves.

Small businesses should review supplier contracts and build short-term cash buffers. For everyday households, prioritise essential spending, fix prices where you can, and avoid holding large sums in cash if inflation is speeding up.

Jobs, recruitment and safety tips

The federal government opened a major recruitment drive for paramilitary and security posts — around 30,000 slots for agencies like NIS, NSCDC and others — with applications open from July 14 to August 4, 2025. That’s a big chance for job seekers, but it comes with risks: recruitment scams rise during big drives.

Use only official government portals for applications, double-check vacancy notices with agency websites, and never pay cash to intermediaries. Save screenshots of submissions and print confirmation pages when possible. If you’re shortlisted, verify interview venues and contacts through official phone numbers listed on agency sites.

Other admin moves include social policy steps like the NYSC stipend increase to N77,000 from February 2025. That affects thousands of corps members and signals financial shifts in youth programs under the current administration.

Telecom and infrastructure changes are happening too. A national roaming deal between MTN and 9mobile aims to boost rural coverage, approved by regulators. Better mobile access can ease payments, business operations and daily communication, especially outside big cities.

Want to stay on top of these stories? Follow reliable sources, set alerts for official press releases, and check regulatory bodies (Central Bank, NCC, relevant ministries) before acting on big news. For job applications, go direct to agency portals and keep records of every step.

Tinubu's government will keep rolling out measures that touch wallets, jobs and services. Keep a practical plan: protect savings, verify job offers, and watch official updates.
