Who needs sanity?

In our first story, we dive into Nigeria’s oil sector, where the Nigerian National Petroleum Company has declared a net profit of ₦3.297 trillion for 2023, its largest ever Naira profit. Is this a cause for celebration? 

Next, we explore a development involving the Nigerian government as a French court authorises the seizure of three presidential jets. This move follows a legal battle with a Chinese company over a revoked contract and an unpaid compensation award. What happened?

Finally, we look at the growing tensions in Kenya as the government considers reintroducing tax measures that were previously scrapped after deadly protests. With the country's fiscal problems running deep and the Supreme Court temporarily suspending a key ruling, the risk of further unrest looms large.
