My good friend Chief Innocent Chukwuma, you did what nobody else dared. You built a car company in Nnewi and put Made-in-Nigeria vehicles on our roads. I still drive Innoson with pride. You have already started the electric journey with the EX02 and the new Nnewi plant. My appeal, brother: make electric your main line, not your side line.
Common sense says the maths is on your side. Petrol is above β¦1,300 a litre, but sunlight is free in Nigeria 365 days a year. Electric cars have fewer moving parts, so they cost far less to maintain, they save families money every month, and they save Nigeria the scarce dollars we burn importing fuel. The lithium is already in our soil in Nasarawa. Meanwhile one in every four new cars sold worldwide last year was electric, in China it is more than half, and Ethiopia has stopped importing petrol cars altogether. The world has moved. Let @innosonvehicles be the reason Nigeria catches up. #BuyNaijaToGrowTheNaira
In Burkina Faso, the government has brought together more than 1,000 traditional herbalists as part of efforts to modernize the countryβs traditional medicine sector.
The government believes many herbalists hold generations of knowledge about medicinal plants that deserves proper scientific research and testing.
Instead of letting that knowledge disappear, they want to study it, improve it, and see what can be produced safely on a larger scale.
Remember, long before modern hospitals, many African communities relied on traditional medicine for generations.
