A wicked wicket

August 17, 2024 SBM Intelligence Season 1 Episode 16

The MTN Group is facing a financial storm as it predicts a half-year loss due to the devaluation of the Nigerian naira and operational hurdles in Sudan. With earnings per share plummeting and business activity in Nigeria hitting an eight-month low, we'll explore how these economic shifts reshape the region.

Then political drama is unfolding in Nigeria's Edo State. After a contentious impeachment of Deputy Governor Philip Shaibu and his controversial return, the state government is accusing him of impersonation. We’ll break down the legal and political ramifications of this unfolding saga.

Finally, we head to Guinea, where a draft constitution has been unveiled, signalling potential changes on the horizon. With provisions for a bicameral system, bans on the death penalty, and a presidential term limit, we’ll examine what this means for the country’s journey toward democratic stability.
