People are really underrating China.

  People are really underrating China . Speaking at the Semafor World Economy Summit 2026, Africa's richest man, Aliko Dangote, argued that China's contribution to Africa's development is often overlooked. Dangote said China has become a key economic partner for the continent through financing, infrastructure development, and its ability to deliver projects and equipment at scale. To illustrate the point, he revealed that his company received 10,250 trucks from China in just seven months, describing it as an example of the country's industrial capacity and efficiency. While acknowledging concerns about government-to-government agreements and competitive bidding processes, Dangote said African countries should focus on securing quality infrastructure and partnerships that support long-term economic growth.

OGUN BLEEDS: ₦783 Billion, 1,377 Projects

  OGUN BLEEDS: ₦783 Billion, 1,377 Projects By: Ogun Good Governance Forum (OGGF) Between 2024 and 2026, the federal budget appropriated 1,377 projects worth ₦783 billion for Ogun State across 48 MDAs. That figure is higher than what was allocated to Oyo, Kwara, Rivers and even Lagos, yet less than 100 of these projects can actually be verified on the ground. The rest are either marked ongoing with no visible work or exist only on paper. The pattern is even more troubling because the numbers jumped massively in just three years. From ₦32.18 billion in 2024, it rose to ₦379.05 billion in 2025 and ₦371.74 billion in 2026. OGGF says this shows federal resources are being deployed as an electoral tool ahead of 2027. On top of that, agencies outside their core mandate were given billions to execute projects in Ogun. Examples include a Delta hospital for ₦6.6 billion power and empowerment, a Plateau college for ₦3.5 billion solar and roads, an Ibadan college for ₦2.55 billion farm inputs...
