Finding Solutions to Nigeria’s Problems: ‘Can you fix Nigeria’ Series – Episode 1


Can You Fix Nigeria’ Series – Episode 1

In October 2020, after months of observing the drift Nigeria was experiencing, the slow response to the COVID crisis and the general hopelessness of the citizenry; Culbeat Foundation initiated a series of non-partisan policy talks to re-evaluate the problems facing Nigeria.

There are strict rules in place to avoid partisanship, to avoid online abuse and to open our minds to discuss the problem with Nigeria. The series is tagged the Can You Fix Nigeria Challenge, and the episodes were recorded between November 2020 and March 2021.

It is our pleasure to serialise these discussions with you via News Round The Clock.
