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.
Manchester United seems to be leaning towards selling Rasmus Hojlund, with the Danish striker's future uncertain at Old Trafford. According to reports, the club is willing to listen to offers for Hojlund, who joined from Atalanta for £72 million last summer, but has only scored 8 goals in 43 appearances.
Meanwhile, Joshua Zirkzee, who signed from Bologna for £42 million, might stay under new manager Ruben Amorim, who believes Zirkzee can improve under his guidance. Manchester United has reportedly set a £52 million price tag for Hojlund.
