Dele Kelvin Oye decries persistent hardship despite higher public revenues

Dele Kelvin Oye, chairman of the Alliance for Economic Research and Ethics, urged Nigeria’s federal and state governments to turn higher public revenues into tangible improvements in living conditions. Phillips Consulting’s revised 2026 pSPI recorded citizen satisfaction at just 3.01 out of five; employment received the lowest score at 2.31, while clean water scored 2.67. Oye called for measurable results, transparent reporting on spending and projects, and 90-day public delivery plans focused on the weakest services.
