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.
Attack 'very dangerous' situation for US - but also the UK, Professor Anthony Glees warns
The suspected terror attack in New Orleans is "very dangerous" for the US - but also for the country's allies, a security expert has told Sky News.
Professor Anthony Glees said: "This is a terrible attack, and it's a very dangerous national security situation for the US, but also for its allies and in particular for us here in the UK.
"So, this is a very worrying thing that is happening."
Prof Glees said all Western countries are facing Islamist threats, and points to the uncertainty over the future of Syria following the fall of the Assad regime last month - and whether that could present new challenges for security services and governments.
He added that it seems US intelligence had "no idea" about the attack.
"This is a highly dangerous situation," he said.
