Nigeria-Indonesia Investment Could Boost GDP and Create Jobs, Says Balogun

Ishmael Balogun, president of the Nigerian Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (NICCI), said stronger investment between the two countries, particularly in oil and gas exploration, could raise Nigeria’s GDP, create jobs and transfer knowledge. Speaking at the fifth Nigerian Indonesian Investment and Trade Forum in Jakarta on October 20–21, 2026, he said bilateral trade had grown from $2 billion in 2020 to $4.5 billion in 2023. Indonesia buys about $3 billion worth of Nigerian crude oil annually, while Nigerian businesses import pharmaceuticals, palm oil and electronics from Indonesia. An Indonesian government and business delegation recently visited Nigeria, as discussions continue on establishing direct government-to-government oil trade and investment ties.

Representing Félix Tshisekedi at the COMESA ministerial meeting and 25th summit, held on October 21 and 22, 2026, in Mount Hampden, Zimbabwe, Congolese Regional Integration Minister Floribert Anzuluni stressed the link between security and economic integration.

At the summit, Anzuluni condemned Rwanda’s aggression, abuses against civilians, forced displacement, parallel administrations and the looting of natural resources.

Ukraine War: Protests Announced Against the Alleged Unofficial Recruitment of Young Cameroonians

The national collective “Bring Back Our Sons and Brothers” has announced peaceful protests in Cameroon over the alleged recruitment of young Cameroonians who went to Russia and were sent to fight in Ukraine. The dates and locations have not yet been specified. An investigation attributed to All Eyes on Wagner counted at least 335 Cameroonians in Russian ranks between 2023 and mid-2025, with nearly 94 reportedly dead, while the Ukrainian project “I Want to Live” put the death toll above 100; neither figure is an official consolidated count. The collective is calling for recruitment networks to be identified, deaths to be clarified, bodies to be repatriated, and assistance for Cameroonians seeking to leave combat zones.
