#ATSLDN @emilianpopa @ILaraHealth: ’The fastest rising health threat is diabetes, not infectious diseases. But the world’s health care system is designed to cater for the latter. Our devices & platform can address diabetes & in the future mental health and even cancer.’ #mhealth

[Tedd George @DrTeddGeorge]

#ATSLDN Q: What is #blockchain at its core? @e_rossiello: ‘It gives #Africans access to financial services that we take for granted in DM.’ @Teddy_Lin: ‘It removes a central authority & enables innovation.’ @BunmiDuro: ‘It knits the #valuechain together & delivers #transparency.’

They put their lives on the line in a true act of leadership, selflessness and bravery to save the lives of their fellow colleagues in the Riverside terrorist attack in Nairobi. #CellulantBrave6

Total's Egina field achieved first oil in December.

At its peak, the field will increase Nigeria's production by 10% in 2019.

However, under OPEC's 1.2million production cut agreement, Nigeria is expected to keep OIL production at 1.738mln/day (excluding other liquids).
