Nigeria's President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has announced a six-month suspension on raw shea exports to boost local processing, job creation, and protect the shea value chain, predominantly benefiting women. This move aims to increase Nigeria's share in the $6.5 billion global shea market, currently capturing less than 1% despite producing nearly 40% of the world's supply. The initiative is part of the Renewed Hope Agenda, focusing on creating value domestically and competing globally. Vice President Kashim Shettima will lead efforts to expand processing capacity and ensure the reform brings lasting prosperity to farmers, women, and the nation.
An employee of the Nigeria Aviation Handling Company, Auwal Dankode, has been hailed for his integrity after returning $10,000 found in a plane.
The worker at Malam Aminu Kano International Airport in Kano, found the cash while cleaning the aircraft.
The incident was shared on social media by security analyst and counter-insurgency expert Zagazola Makaman, who commended Dankode’s exemplary actions.
