Ghana Cedi Gains Ground as Dollar Weakness Boosts Currency Outlook

The Ghanaian cedi is showing signs of recovery, supported by favourable external conditions and improving market sentiment. Over the past two weeks, the currency faced mild demand pressures at the start of the period, largely in line with market expectations. However, it regained ground in the latter half as broad “sell America” sentiment and sustained weakness in the United States dollar provided support to emerging and frontier market currencies. Interbank market performance In the interbank market, the cedi appreciated: 0.09% against the US dollar 0.86% against the pound sterling 1.16% against the euro It closed at mid-rates of GH¢10.97 to the dollar, GH¢14.81 to the pound, and GH¢12.93 to the euro. Retail market movement The gains also filtered into the retail segment. The cedi strengthened: 0.6% against the US dollar 1.29% against the pound sterling 1.11% against the euro It […]

Burkina Faso Records Successful Plantain Harvest Under Agricultural Self-Sufficiency Initiative

A new milestone has been recorded in Burkina Faso’s agricultural ambitions as officials and agricultural stakeholders carried out a plantain harvest in Bobo-Dioulasso on February 21, 2026. The activity was led by the technical coordinator of the presidential initiative for agricultural production and food self-sufficiency alongside leaders of NAFASO. The harvest forms part of ongoing efforts to transform farming practices and expand crop production in line with the country’s national development vision. On the experimental site operated by NAFASO, dozens of plantain trees have grown successfully, with several already producing mature bunches ready for harvest. According to Inoussa Ouédraogo, the harvest reflects the broader vision of Burkina Faso’s leader, Ibrahim Traoré, to rethink agricultural production and boost both food security and cash crops.

Dangote predicts naira could strengthen to ₦1,100/$1 in 2026

Africa’s richest man, Aliko Dangote, says the naira could appreciate to around ₦1,100 to the US dollar before the end of 2026 if current government policies and import controls are sustained. He spoke in Abuja during the launch of the Nigeria Industrial Policy, attended by Vice President Kashim Shettima and top private sector leaders. Dangote noted that although the naira is currently trading around ₦1,300–₦1,340 on the official market, recent reforms are already easing pressure on the currency. He argued that blocking “reckless” imports that can be produced locally, alongside tighter foreign exchange management, will help further strengthen the naira. “I can assure you that, with what I know, by blocking all this importation, the currency this year will be as low as ₦1,100 if we are lucky,” he said, while suggesting government might even need to slow the naira’s […]

CJN urges ECOWAS Court to adopt uniform enforcement rules for its judgments

Chief Justice of Nigeria Justice Kudirat Kekere Ekun has called on the ECOWAS Court of Justice to work with member states to develop a uniform procedure for enforcing its judgments across the region. She said inconsistent enforcement practices in different countries undermine the authority of the regional court and weaken citizens’ confidence in regional justice. The CJN spoke in Abuja during a bilateral meeting on the status of ECOWAS Court judgments, attended by the court’s president, Justice Edward Amoako Asante, and other officials. She acknowledged the court’s “landmark” human rights decisions but noted that their impact is limited if executive branches in member states fail to carry them out. Justice Kekere Ekun advised the court to use the forum to design clear, harmonised enforcement guidelines that national authorities can adopt and apply. She stressed that while enforcement ultimately lies with […]

Argungu Fishing Festival returns as thousands gather in Kebbi State

Thousands of fishermen surged into the milky waters of the Matan Fadan River in Argungu, northwestern Nigeria, as the renowned Argungu International Fishing Festival made its long-awaited return. The river, which winds through lush landscape in Kebbi State, is a designated UNESCO heritage site and remains closed to fishing throughout the year. It is overseen by a traditional authority known as the Sarkin Ruwa, or water chief, until the annual competition opens its waters to thousands of participants. On Saturday, President Bola Tinubu joined spectators to cheer on competitors battling for the largest catch, despite lingering security concerns that kept some visitors away. Tradition at the heart of competition Fishermen relied strictly on traditional tools — hand-woven nets and calabash gourds — while some demonstrated remarkable skill by catching fish with their bare hands. Canoes dotted the river as participants […]

Kenya’s Mau Mau History: The Uprising That Led to Independence

Kenya’s Mau Mau movement remains one of the most significant chapters in the country’s journey to independence. Emerging in the 1950s under British colonial rule, the uprising was rooted in land dispossession, political exclusion, and economic injustice. Though controversial and often misunderstood, the Mau Mau rebellion played a decisive role in ending colonial rule and redefining Kenya’s national identity. Colonial Rule and Rising Grievances British colonial control in Kenya formally began in the late 19th century. Over time, large areas of fertile land were taken from African communities, particularly the Kikuyu, and handed to European settlers. These lands became known as the “White Highlands.” African farmers were pushed into overcrowded reserves, forced into wage labor, and subjected to restrictive laws. Political representation was limited, and African voices were largely excluded from governance. By the mid-20th century, frustration had grown into […]
