International Labour Organization Supports Nigeria's Renewed Efforts to Combat Child Labor

Nigeria has intensified its commitment to eradicate child labor, prioritizing children's education, protection, and participation. This renewed drive also focuses on strengthening decent work opportunities and social protection measures to alleviate economic pressures that force children into labor. The initiative follows the 6th National Children’s Conference on the Elimination of Child Labour and the National Dialogue on Advancing Implementation of Nigeria’s National Child Labour Policy and National Action Plan, held in Abuja. The International Labour Organization (ILO) is supporting these efforts through projects funded by the European Union and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Netherlands. A 2022 National Child Labour Survey revealed that approximately 24.6 million children aged 5–17 are engaged in child labor, with 14.3 million performing hazardous work.

Ghanaian Police Arrest Three Suspected Motorcycle Robbery Gang Members in Asante Region

The Asante Regional Police Command in Ghana has apprehended three individuals suspected of being part of a motorcycle gang. The suspects, identified as Sharif Mahmud, 23, Abdallah Karim, 25, and James Alena, 25, were arrested in Suame, Kumasi, on Sunday, November 1, 2026, at approximately 1:40 a.m. This gang is accused of terrorizing residents in the Breman-Kronum-Suame enclave of the Ashanti Region. Their alleged activities include attacking and robbing passers-by, taking over public roads, and engaging in illegal midnight motorcycle racing. The police had been monitoring the group's movements as part of an ongoing effort to apprehend its members, who had previously evaded arrest. While three suspects were detained, several other alleged members managed to escape during the operation. The arrested individuals have been granted police inquiry bail and are expected to appear in court once the Judicial Service Association of Ghana (JUSAG) strike concludes.

World Bank Warns Corruption Severely Hindering Kenya's Economic Growth

World Bank Warns Corruption Severely Hindering Kenya's Economic Growth

The World Bank has issued a stark warning that corruption is significantly impeding Kenya's economic growth, costing the nation billions of dollars annually. A recent report from the institution highlights that corruption permeates every level of Kenyan society, from petty bribes to large-scale government procurement scandals. This widespread graft contributes approximately 370 billion shillings (€2.4 billion) to Kenya's fiscal deficit each year, which is equivalent to two percent of its GDP. This conservative estimate accounts for lost taxes, inefficient public spending, and increased borrowing costs. The report also notes that ordinary Kenyans are increasingly frustrated by the levels of corruption, which was a major factor in mass protests in mid-2024 when the government attempted to raise taxes. The World Bank suggests that public willingness to contribute to the economy would be much higher if there was greater trust in leadership.
