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 […]

2027: Musawa warns APC against dropping Northern Muslim running mate

Minister of Culture, Tourism and the Creative Economy, Hannatu Musawa, has cautioned the All Progressives Congress (APC) against altering President Bola Tinubu’s 2027 presidential ticket in a way that removes a Northern Muslim running mate. She said such a move could cost the ruling party vital support across the core North.​ Speaking on Seun Okinbaloye’s Mic On Show, Musawa addressed debates over reviewing the Muslim–Muslim ticket used in 2023. She argued that dropping Vice President Kashim Shettima or replacing him with a non‑Northern Muslim would create serious political complications, given regional sensitivities.​ “If there is no Hausa, Fulani or Kanuri Muslim on that ticket, it creates a hurdle. That is the reality of the way people think,” she said, stressing that electoral politics in the North is shaped by long‑standing social and political structures. She listed Katsina, Kano, Kaduna, Kebbi, […]
