Welcome to your business africa Monica Johnson well and good to have you with us i was starting with fresh data from nigeria where the annual inflation rate is slowing in july it edged down to just above 11 percent now thats the lowest since july 28th but considering that nigeria is africas Biggest Oil Producer people still have to carve out a lot of money to get food on the table. Nigerian farmers cannot produce enough food for the people of the country yet president mohamed to bihari announced hell put a stop to agricultural imports the money that the country makes from with oil exports should not be wasted on expensive groceries from abroad the measure is as rigid as it is haphazard in 2015 there was a similar import ban no more rice from abroad. But nigerian farmers could not meet the demand and prices in the country skyrocketed. In 2017 the ban was eased. Almost half the population 90000000. 00 nigerians live on less than 2. 00 a day if the government puts the new import ban in place prices for meat dairy foods fruits and vegetables will go up again.

Yeah. To kenya now where Wind Turbines are providing plenty of powerful the National Grid to lake turkana but the electricity doesnt reach everyone distribution is a matter of the state and local fishing villages are easily overlooked. Lake turkana has plenty of fish but with this primitive raft tarla polity just catches a single fish that will earn a 0. 90 at most his wife and 6 children are waiting at home the money will not be enough for a good meal in the evening. The fisherman can only dream of a boat like this the fishing village is far away from the hustle and bustle of the city and also lacks the blessings of the modern world there is no electricity for miles around. Fresh fish sell well in the nearby town but only catch needs to be chilled to keep it fresh this is difficult without electricity and dried fish however bring less money. We dont go i says only delivered here once a week to cool the fish but the so if we had electricity we could sell more fish and we would have more money to educate the children or look after them when theyre sick or. The solution is not far away Wind TurbinesInternational Investors have installed many modern Wind Turbines for 600000000 euros they produce more than 300 megawatts of electricity so there would be plenty of power the people here fill their land with hope but these hopes are yet to be fulfilled the cables are laid the current is flowing the wind Farm Supplies about 15 percent of all kenyans power supply so whats the problem. The laws in kenya and the regulations in kenya for the provision of electricity late to cannot cannot provide power to the communities lake turkana must only sell to kenya power and Lighting Company which is the offtake and the only licensed and regulated off ticket to be able to take power the wind farm operators are only responsible for the electricity production every single wind turbine is strictly Controlled Distribution as a matter of state the Kenyan Ministry of energy says there are plans to connect the communities on the lake to the grid but it didnt tell us when that would happen. The wait could be a long one for the fisherman so all he can do is head out to the big lake and hope of a good catch.
