Public services are not abstract. They shape how people move, learn, work, access care and build their lives. When those services are weak, daily life becomes more expensive and harder than it should be. People are left to cover privately what public resources should provide. 🇳🇬

The global tax system is rooted in colonial extraction, fueling inequality worldwide. The OECD-led rules have long enabled profit-shifting by corporations, tax evasion by the ultra-wealthy and illicit financial flows.
