Dangote refinery will make Nigeria net fuel exporter – Shettima

Vice President Kashim Shettima says the Dangote Refinery is positioning Nigeria to become a net exporter of refined petroleum products after decades as a net importer of value. Speaking at a High level Accra Reset Initiative meeting on the sidelines of the 2026 World Economic Forum in Davos, he said Africa’s prosperity must be homegrown, built on innovation, industry and interdependence rather than external aid.​ Shettima cited the Lagos based Dangote Refinery as proof of what happens “when African capital meets industrial ambition,” noting that it is gradually turning Nigeria into a major exporter of fuel. He argued that matching production with infrastructure and clear policies can move nations from being price takers to value makers in global markets.​ According to him, only by building domestic productive capacity can African countries convert their large populations and natural endowments into real, […]

Trump sends US ‘armada’ toward Gulf amid Iran tensions

President Donald Trump says a US “armada” is heading toward the Gulf as Washington keeps a close watch on Iran despite recently playing down the prospect of imminent military action. He told reporters on Air Force One, returning from the World Economic Forum in Davos, that the United States was sending a “massive fleet” toward Iran “just in case”, adding that he would rather avoid conflict but was monitoring Tehran “very closely”.​ Trump has repeatedly kept open the option of new strikes on Iran after backing Israel’s 12 day war in June aimed at degrading Iranian nuclear and ballistic missile capabilities. He said in Davos that US attacks on Iranian uranium enrichment sites last year were intended to prevent Tehran from developing a nuclear weapon, something Iran denies.​ The latest remarks come after weeks of seesaw rhetoric, with Trump at […]

Trump’s Greenland climbdown eases tension but future still unclear

U.S. President Donald Trump has backed away from using tariffs or military force to push his controversial plan to acquire Greenland from Denmark, easing fears of a major transatlantic rift. After weeks of threats, he dropped the tariff idea and hinted that a preliminary agreement over the Arctic territory could be reached instead.​ Trump’s bid to gain control of Greenland, a Danish territory and key NATO outpost, had alarmed European allies who saw it as a direct challenge to an alliance that has underpinned Western security since World War Two. Following talks at the World Economic Forum in Davos with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, Trump voiced optimism about a deal that would secure a U.S. missile defence site and access to critical minerals while countering Russian and Chinese influence in the Arctic.​ European stock markets steadied on the news, […]
