The deadline for political parties to submit their presidential nominations is fast approaching, prompting a flurry of last-minute activity and, in some cases, lingering uncertainty over candidate lists and running mates.

Every day, thousands of Nigerians search for new ways to earn extra income or grow their savings. For many, online investment platforms promise quick returns with little effort. But while some appear to deliver at first, many eventually collapse, leaving investors counting their losses.

The latest platform to spark concern is National Reading Culture, popularly known as NRC. Reports from users who say they can no longer access their funds have reignited questions about the recurring cycle of online investment schemes that end in heartbreak.

So, why do Nigerians continue to invest in platforms that promise extraordinary returns despite repeated warnings from regulators? What lessons should investors learn from the latest collapse? And what can be done to prevent more people from falling victim?

Hello! This is Nigeria Daily, brought to you by Media Trust. I am Luqman Awwal Agono.

Today, we examine the reported collapse of NRC, hear from affected investors who agreed to share their experiences anonymously, listen to what Nigerians think about online investment platforms, and speak with a financial expert on how to identify and avoid Ponzi schemes.

For days now, one issue has dominated conversations across Nigeria. From social media timelines to radio phone-ins, newspaper headlines and television discussions, many Nigerians have been asking the same question: How does a government agency come into existence?

The conversation was triggered by the controversy surrounding the alleged Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council, or PFIPC. While the matter is receiving official attention, it has also exposed a gap in public understanding of how government institutions are established.

Can the President simply create a new agency? Must the National Assembly pass a law first? Are there circumstances where an agency can be established through an executive action? And how can ordinary Nigerians know whether an institution is legally recognised? 

Today on Nigeria Daily, we're putting the controversy itself aside to focus on the bigger picture. We'll explain what Nigerian law says about creating a government agency, the constitutional process involved, and why establishing a new agency has both legal and financial implications.

For more than 50 years, the National Youth Service Corps has been a key part of the journey for millions of Nigerian graduates, but the Federal Government's proposed reforms have now sparked a nationwide debate. 

From extending the orientation camp to six weeks and changing the iconic khaki uniform to Adire, to proposing a civilian Director-General, many Nigerians are asking whether these changes address the real challenges facing corps members. 

Join us in this episode of Nigeria Daily as we examine why the reforms are coming now and whether they will make the NYSC more relevant for the future.

There have been announcements of reductions in petrol prices, raising hopes that Nigerians would finally get some relief at the pump. Yet, in many parts of the country, motorists say they are still paying high prices for fuel, with little or no difference at their local filling stations.

So, what is delaying the reduction? Are marketers still selling old stock bought at higher prices, or are there other factors keeping pump prices high? And when can Nigerians expect to start paying less for petrol?

In this episode of Nigeria Daily, we speak with motorists, hear from the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN), and get expert insights into why the latest price cuts are yet to be fully reflected at filling station and whether cheaper petrol is likely in July.
