According to a confidential briefing given to scores of senior African officials during a virtual meeting organised by the UN earlier this month, the novel coronavirus pandemic is projected to almost halve economic growth in Africa in 2020, generating a loss of some $29 billion. Meanwhile, major lenders to Africa have been asked to waive tens of billions of dollars in interest payments due this year.

Nigeria brings in Cessna aircraft and Agusta helicopters for Deep Blue project

As part of its Deep Blue project for securing the country's territorial waters, Nigeria is to take delivery of two Cessna aircraft and two Agusta helicopters. Israeli company Blue Octagon recently took charge of procurement for the project after a parliamentary enquiry was launched into the conditions in which the original contract was awarded to its sister company HLSI.
