Residents in the southwestern state of Oyo’s densely populated Ibadan city heard a loud blast at about 7:45 p.m., causing panic as many fled their homes. By Wednesday morning, security forces cordoned off the area while medical personnel and ambulances were on standby as rescue efforts intensified. Preliminary investigations showed the blast was caused by explosives stored for use in illegal mining operations, Oyo Gov.

☆ Unilever pivots to African suppliers as forex pressure mounts

The war in Ukraine exacerbated supply chain logjams and manufacturing issues that began with the COVID-19 pandemic. Managing foreign exchange costs is largely what is driving a pivot to African suppliers, Unilever said, even though sourcing from the continent can cost more than buying from parts of Asia. “Over 95% of the brands we sell to our (African) consumers are made in African factories,” Reginaldo Ecclissato, Unilever’s chief business operations and supply chain officer, told Reuters. Today more than two-thirds of the ingredients that go into Unilever products sold in African markets come from the continent, the company said. Where is it on the scale of Unilever’s supply chain?” he said.

☆ Fact Check-Spreadsheet shown during Nigerian broadcast does not show a vote counting mistake
  + stars: | 2023-03-03 | by ( Reuters Fact Check | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
An image of a spreadsheet that was shown during a broadcast of Nigeria’s presidential election has been falsely touted online as evidence of a voting miscount. At timestamp 7:43:17 here , a spreadsheet is shown onscreen whereby the result for each party is tallied at the bottom of separate columns. The sum of the 13 rows in the APC column, for example, is 151,850. However, the apparent mismatched totals are a result of neither the screenshot nor the broadcast showing the entire spreadsheet. There are 13 rows shown in the NTA broadcast, which is therefore the results of 13 local government areas.
