Pluboard is a news company that tracks and simplifies money, business, power and environmental issues in Nigeria and across Africa. We help Africa’s next generation navigate a fast-changing world through smart, clear, and deeply reported journalism.
Africa is home to the world’s youngest population, a thriving tech culture, vast natural resources, and communities already confronting climate change. Its future depends not only on economic and political inclusion but also on how it manages environmental risks and opportunities. Yet journalism that should connect these dots is often either too elite or too disconnected to drive understanding and real decisions.
Pluboard delivers world-class reporting, financial education, and data tools to help everyday citizens, professionals, entrepreneurs, investors, and policymakers make informed choices daily.
In addition to hard news reports, features and investigations, we use a range of innovative storytelling formats and tools – including explainers, interactive graphics, data visualizations, analyses, how-to guides, and trackers – to cover:
Business & Economy: Briefs and deep dives into companies, markets, and economies.
Finance & Investment: Simple, data-informed insights that empower financial literacy and smarter money decisions.
Politics & Power: We map influence, track decisions, and expose how public policies shape people’s lives, markets, and businesses.
Environment & Climate Change: In-depth reporting on how Africa’s green transition, climate politics and finance, climate risks, extractive industries, and environmental policies are reshaping livelihoods, food security, and industries. From renewable energy to fisheries, we connect environmental change to everyday economic realities.
Technology & Innovation: We tell stories that show tech innovation and how digital tools, platforms, and start-ups are transforming work, business, and daily life.
Development & Social Economy: We track public welfare and development (healthcare, education, infrastructure) and connect them to Africa’s business growth and financial future.
Security: We highlight how conflict, insecurity, and governance affect economic opportunities, growth, and investor confidence.
Our mission is to be the most intelligent source of financial, environmental, and policy information out of Africa, one that empowers people with simplified and trusted knowledge.
