Kenyatta Avenue Viaduct Passes 50% Completion, Ruto Announces

President William Ruto announced that the Ksh3 billion Kenyatta Avenue-Upper Hill viaduct is more than 50% complete and is expected to be finished in May 2027. The one-kilometre elevated dual carriageway is intended to improve connections between Nairobi’s Central Business District and Upper Hill while easing congestion. The Kenya Urban Roads Authority (KURA) attributed delays to complex structural work and the precise installation of columns and steel components. Construction began in September 2020, was delayed by payment disputes with contractors, and resumed in July 2025.

UMOA-Titres: CFAF 137.5 billion raised as investor appetite boosts Abidjan and Bamako

Côte d’Ivoire and Mali raised a combined CFAF 137.5 billion in auctions held on October 27 and 28, 2026, against total bids of CFAF 225.88 billion, a coverage rate of 180.70%. Côte d’Ivoire’s Treasury accepted CFAF 93.5 billion from CFAF 151.152 billion in bids, at yields of 6.37% for three-year bonds, 7.04% for five-year bonds and 7.11% for seven-year bonds. Mali raised CFAF 44 billion, including CFAF 36.5 billion in three-year bonds yielding 7.67%, 130 basis points above Côte d’Ivoire’s rate for the same maturity. The decline in Côte d’Ivoire’s seven-year yield from the October 20 auction suggests stronger investor appetite for longer maturities.

Oil: Benin to Ship 330,000 Barrels to the Netherlands, Its First Export in 28 Years

Benin is preparing to ship about 330,000 barrels of crude oil from the offshore Sèmè field to the Netherlands. Loading onto the tanker Kriti Jade is scheduled for November 1 and 2, 2026, marking Benin’s first oil sale in nearly three decades. Akrake Petroleum Benin, a subsidiary of Rex International Holding, holds a 76% stake in the block, alongside the Beninese state (15%) and Octogone Trading (9%), and will handle the crude’s lifting and transport for three years. The Sèmè field produced about 22 million barrels between 1982 and 1998 before operations were suspended.
