Africa has the world’s youngest population, a thriving tech culture, vast natural wealth, and a climate crisis already reshaping how people live and work. Its future depends on reporting good enough to act on, and power held accountable enough to trust. Too often, neither is delivered.
Pluboard is built to fix that. We’re a news company that covers the economy, power, and environment in Nigeria and Africa – reporting that’s rigorous and clear enough for everyone.
What we cover:
Economy, Finance & Business: Markets, companies, and money, covered with the scrutiny they deserve – sharp briefs and deep dives that build financial literacy and expose where the numbers don’t add up.
Politics & Power: We map influence, elections, and follow decisions to their source, tracking how policy is made, who it serves, and who it costs.
Environment & Climate: Africa’s green transition, climate finance and politics, and the extractive industries reshaping livelihoods and food security. This runs from renewable energy to the health of oceans and forests. We follow where climate money actually goes, and who’s accountable when it doesn’t reach the people it’s meant for.
These beats connect to everything else we cover: Technology as it transforms markets and work; Security as conflict and weak governance impact lives and undercut growth; Development as healthcare, education, and infrastructure shape the economy citizens actually live in.
Our mission is to be the most dependable source of financial, environmental, and policy intelligence out of Africa – journalism that holds power accountable and gives citizens what they need to do the same.
