Chart of the week: Global conflict sparks West African fuel price crisis

I have had an idea for some time about a game show based on the host saying some initials and contestants racing to the buzzer with the correct name of the parastatal.

#Nigeria's new "generational reset" in taxes is, in practice, Taxation Without Representation (or the basics such as Electricity). We’re being asked to fund a modernity we’ve never seen, while the state’s most tangible move is inviting #France to mine our data. My thoughts in @guardian: bit.ly/4jxOV6J

Energy Reforms: In 2024, under the visionary leadership of President Tinubu, Nigeria reclaimed its position as Africa’s leading destination for upstream oil and gas investment. Remarkably, the country accounted for three out of the four Final Investment Decisions (FIDs) recorded across the continent, with a combined value exceeding USD 5 billion. This outstanding achievement is directly tied to the approval of five landmark presidential directives and fiscal incentives introduced during the year. These transformative measures are not only reshaping Nigeria’s energy landscape but also setting the stage for unprecedented levels of investment in 2025 and beyond, reaffirming Nigeria’s role as a powerhouse in Africa’s energy sector Photo credit @WoodMackenzie

Cannot recall the last time I saw so much interest from Nigeria Twitter in matters Equatoguinean.

@DoubleEph probably Teodorin’s yacht difficulties? But that’s a distant second to this
