Nigeria’s First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, has faced criticism for her Akara and Kulikuli Women Empowerment Programme, which is part of the Renewed Hope Initiative. The program aims to empower women at the grassroots level, but it has sparked debate regarding its effectiveness and impact on economic policy, according to ThisDay Live.

The Bank of Tanzania (BoT) has raised the central bank interest rate to 6.25%, marking the highest level since the new inflation control system was implemented over two years ago, according to Nukta Africa.
