Recent stories to watch

Some recent pieces show why parliaments matter right now. In Lagos, the state assembly impeached Speaker Mudashiru Obasa and elected Mojisola Meranda as the first female speaker — a move that changes power dynamics and raises questions about accountability and reform. That story shows how internal assembly decisions can ripple into state politics.

Energy and oversight crop up too. When power cuts return, parliaments often step in to question ministers, open inquiries, and push for solutions. Coverage of Eskom’s Stage 3 load-shedding highlights how lawmakers use hearings and budget votes to press power companies and government agencies. Expect more stories where assemblies hold executives to account over service delivery and public spending.
