Hardship: Ulasi says opposition failing to win voters’ support

PDP chieftain Dan Ulasi said opposition parties are failing to turn Nigerians’ frustration over the rising cost of living, food prices and petrol into political support. Speaking on Arise Television, he faulted them for not holding town halls or presenting clear alternatives to the APC-led government, and said the opposition is more divided than it was in 2023. Ulasi, who supports Peter Obi, predicted that the candidate could defeat Bola Tinubu in Lagos in the 2027 election. He also urged Tinubu to explain his government’s record at town halls across the country and stressed the need for a free and fair vote.

Abidjan Metro: Is France Giving Côte d’Ivoire a €35 Million Gift?

The €35 million announced in August 2026 is not a gift paid into Côte d’Ivoire’s general budget, but guaranteed financing covered by two agreements signed by Adama Coulibaly and French ambassador Jean-Christophe Belliard. Most of the money will pay to relocate a wastewater collector obstructing Abidjan Metro’s Line 1; the remainder will fund four Agora community sports complexes in Guiglo, Dabou, Boundiali and Dimbokro. The metro, now estimated to cost nearly €1.8 billion, is financed in part by French concessional loans, including €250 million earmarked for Alstom trainsets, alongside commercial bank financing.

Mango sector: Côte d’Ivoire seeks to regain EU market, which accounts for 80% of its exports

After Ivorian mango exports to the European Union were suspended on August 1, 2026, the government is overhauling the sector to resume shipments in 2027; the EU takes more than 80% of export volumes. Agriculture Minister Bruno Nabagné Koné announced 3.5 billion CFA francs to treat 20,000 hectares of orchards across nine regions and deploy more than three million traps against fruit flies. For the 2027 season, 33 exporters and 34 packing stations were selected, while 15 exporters and nine stations were excluded; air-freight mango shipments are also suspended. Official inspections will be strengthened, and every export lot must be traceable to its orchard, producer and harvesting technician.
