Data tells a story.

The Africa Polling Institute’s 2026 Nigeria Social Cohesion Survey reports an index of 48.8%. The highest level recorded since the study began in 2019.

This is up from 46.8% in 2025.

Supported by the Ford Foundation , the report evaluates 14 essential indicators including Identity, Trust, Social Justice, Civic Participation, and Peace & Conflict Resolution.

A key finding:
While trust in government remains at 28%, trust in religious and traditional leaders stands at 48%.
This gap highlights where public institutions must work to rebuild confidence.

From Nollywood to Afrobeats, now meet the Skit Economy where short, hilarious social media videos called "skits" have exploded into a massive industry worth over $31 million, creating jobs and putting Nigerian humor on the global map.

OPINION PIECE BY ENENE EJEMBI

"A nation is not built by projects alone. It is built by belief — belief that the system works, and that it works for you" ~ Enene Ejembi

True nation-building goes beyond infrastructure, policies, and GDP numbers.

At its core, it rests on trust — trust between the government and the people, trust in our institutions, and confidence that policies will actually deliver results for citizens.

This is why rebuilding public trust must be central to Nigeria’s next nation-building agenda.
