Africa Could Become World’s Fourth Largest Economy by 2050 – WTO

The World Trade Organisation (WTO) has projected that Africa could become the world’s fourth largest economy by 2050 if it fully harnesses its population growth, resources, and trade potential. WTO Director-General Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala said in an interview with CNN that trading within Africa remains far more expensive than with other regions, with intra-continental trade costs estimated to be about 20 percent higher. “It costs 20 percent more for us to trade with each other on the continent than with others externally,” she said, linking this to poor infrastructure, inefficient border management, and high transport costs. Despite these challenges, Okonjo-Iweala said Africa’s economic outlook remains promising. “The African continent has a lot of resources and a lot of things going for it. But there are also many challenges,” she noted. WTO data shows that only 18 percent of Africa’s exports remain […]

Osun Civil Servants Lament 14-Year Delay in Federal Secretariat Project

Federal civil servants in Osun State have expressed frustration over the prolonged delay in completing the federal secretariat project, 14 years after it was first awarded. The project, located at Oke-Bale along Ibokun Road in Osogbo, was awarded in 2011 and initially scheduled for completion in 2014. However, the building remains unfinished nearly a decade later. Some civil servants who spoke to the News Agency of Nigeria in Osogbo appealed to the Federal Government to investigate the reasons for the delay and take urgent steps to complete the project. A staff member of a federal ministry in Osun, Simeon Olanrewaju, said the delay was unacceptable, noting that 14 years was too long for a project of such importance. “If care is not taken, with the way the project is dragging, it might end up being abandoned,” Olanrewaju warned. He urged […]

 Oyedele Urges Governors to Borrow for Infrastructure Only

The Chairman of the Presidential Fiscal Policy and Tax Reforms Committee, Taiwo Oyedele, has advised state governors to borrow money only for building infrastructure that spurs economic growth, not for routine government spending. Speaking at the launch of a report on state finances in Abuja, Oyedele expressed concern over the rising debt levels of state governments. He clarified that borrowing is not inherently bad, but its purpose is what matters. “There is nothing wrong with borrowing; what matters is what you are borrowing for?” he stated. “We need to borrow less for recurrent spending, if at all, and borrow responsibly for infrastructure and productivity.” He commended states like Abia, Enugu, and Lagos, which allocate over 70% of their budgets to capital projects like roads and schools. He also revealed that new tax laws coming into effect next year will shift […]

Two Arrested in Tema-Afienya Train Sabotage Plot, Says Ghana Railway Authority

An ongoing investigation by the Ghana Railway Development Authority (GRDA) and the Ghana Police Service has revealed an alleged plot by suspected saboteurs to disrupt the newly launched Tema–Afienya train service, according to a report by Graphic Online.

In the first incident on Monday, October 20, 2025, a 10-year-old boy was reportedly coerced into throwing stones at the moving train, shattering the front windshield. The following day, another attempt was made to derail the train by placing a large stone on the tracks. Police have since arrested two suspects — the 10-year-old and another individual believed to be his father — both allegedly paid GH¢20 each by unidentified […]

Russian Strike on Ukraine Train Station Wounds 30, Says Zelensky

A Russian drone strike on a railway station in northeastern Ukraine has wounded at least 30 people, according to President Volodymyr Zelensky. The attack hit the Shostka station in the Sumy region, an area close to the Russian border. Zelensky condemned the strike as "savage," emphasizing that the target was clearly a civilian facility. A video from the scene showed a train carriage on fire, with significant damage from the explosion. In a separate wave of overnight attacks, Russian strikes also cut off power to approximately 50,000 households in the northern Chernihiv region. Meanwhile, Ukraine's military claimed it struck a major oil refinery in Russia's Leningrad region. This is part of Kyiv's intensified campaign of long-range drone attacks on Russian energy infrastructure, which it describes as a justified response to Moscow's ongoing assaults on Ukrainian cities and its power grid.
