US-Iran Deal May Ease Global Economic Pressure

More than three months after the conflict involving the United States, Israel and Iran began, Washington and Tehran have reached a framework agreement aimed at reducing tensions and laying the groundwork for a longer-term resolution. A key component of the agreement is the planned reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world's most important maritime trade routes. The waterway normally handles nearly 20% of global oil and liquefied natural gas shipments, making it critical to international energy markets. The disruption of traffic through the strait since late February triggered sharp increases in global energy prices and raised concerns about supply shortages. While the new agreement has been welcomed by markets, shipping activity in the region remains limited, highlighting the challenges involved in restoring normal operations. Industry experts caution that a full recovery will take time. Hundreds of vessels […]

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.

UK Unemployment Rises to Highest in Over Four Years

The United Kingdom’s unemployment rate has climbed to its highest level in more than four years, adding pressure to the economy ahead of the government’s upcoming budget announcement. According to figures released on Tuesday by the Office for National Statistics (ONS), the unemployment rate rose to 4.8 percent in the three months to the end of August — the highest since early 2021. This marks a slight increase from 4.7 percent recorded in the previous three-month period ending in July.
