Eko Power assures solar users they will not be penalised

Eko Power says customers will not be penalised or disconnected for reducing their electricity use after investing in solar energy. The clarification followed Raphael Awoseyin’s complaint that he received a disconnection notice and a demand for 112,606 naira after installing an 18-kilowatt solar system. Corporate communications manager Abiola Aloba said the charge had been cancelled, the notice withdrawn, and Awoseyin had never been disconnected. Eko Power also replaced his faulty prepaid meter free of charge and said it would impose no back-billing or other costs related to the incident.

Lobito and Banana corridors offer major economic potential but lack citizen involvement, says Crefdl

A report published on October 23, 2026, by the Centre for Research in Public Finance and Local Development (Crefdl) says the Lobito and Banana corridors offer significant economic opportunities for the DRC, but citizens have little involvement in their implementation. The Sakania-Banana corridor could cut container transit costs by 25 to 30%, open up 11 provinces and create 55,000 jobs; its road network is estimated to cost $1.8 billion and its rail network $8–10 billion. Banana port is expected to handle more than 32,000 containers annually. The 1,739-kilometre Lobito corridor between Kolwezi and Lobito aims to raise monthly export freight capacity from 10,000 to 20,000 tonnes by year-end and to 100,000 tonnes in the longer term.

Louga: Contagious Caprine Pleuropneumonia Confirmed in Goats

After several weeks of unusual goat deaths, particularly in the Niayes area, laboratory analyses confirmed contagious caprine pleuropneumonia in the department of Kébémer, in the Louga region. Aya Ndiaye, head of Louga’s Departmental Livestock and Animal Production Service, told the APS that the alert followed a report from the president of a cooperative in Thieppe, and samples were collected in several localities, including Léona. Small-ruminant pasteurellosis was initially suspected but was not confirmed. The disease is highly contagious and can devastate herds, but poses no danger to humans; livestock services urge farmers to monitor animals and report suspected cases promptly.
