Since the Cybercrime Act of 2015 was passed into law, several media reports have revealed how state actors have exploited its provisions to silence civic actors and journalists who seek to hold government accountable or comment on social issues.

In this report, Dataphyte tells the story of Binniyat, a Kaduna-based journalist, and how he was punished for publishing a report on a case involving the state government.

Binniyat was arrested and detained for 288 days simply for being a journalist. He described this incident as the worst experience of his journalism career.

: Published in August, this piece examines the African Democratic Congress (ADC)’s latest coalition gamble ahead of the 2027 elections and whether it can genuinely disrupt Nigeria’s two-party dominance.

Despite new alliances and familiar political heavyweights, the ADC has never garnered more than 1% of the national vote in any presidential election since 2007. History shows that breaking the grip of the APC and PDP requires more than rhetoric; it demands a nationwide structure, clear ideology, and voter trust.

Can this coalition translate recycled influence into real momentum, or is it another round of political reshuffling?

On Monday, Dataphyte’s Digital Innovation Officer, Paul Oluwatosin Akinwumi, joined the SPARK 2.2 Radio Programme across Radio Nigeria stations nationwide to discuss how gender-disaggregated data can transform agricultural policymaking and improve inclusion for smallholder women farmers.

Smallholder women farmers are central to Nigeria’s food system, yet underrepresented in policies and budgets because they are missing from the data that informs decisions. A report by International Budget Partnership (IBP) found that data-driven advocacy 18.5 percent increase in agricultural spending, new allocations to five states, and improved reach to over 111,000 women farmers.

Drawing from Dataphyte’s work in developing a scalable database for the Smallholder Women Farmers Organisation in Nigeria (SWOFON), the conversation highlighted how reliable data enables governments to design targeted interventions, improve accountability, and ensure women farmers are visible in decision-making.

At Dataphyte, data and technology are used to build inclusive data systems that centre vulnerable groups, including women farmers. This approach helps ensure that policy design, budgeting, and intervention planning are informed by evidence that reflects those most at risk.
