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.

'Solid slap': Russians react to Trump-Zelenskyy row
Zelenskyy got a "solid slap" in his talks with Donald Trump at the White House, according to former Russian president Dmitry Medvedev.
"A brutal dressing down in the Oval Office," Medvedev, who is deputy chairman of Russia's Security Council, posted on Telegram.
Russian foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said it was a miracle that Trump and vice president JD Vance had restrained themselves from hitting Zelenskyy during the argument.
