00:00The Ivory Coast has announced that the production of oil and gas from whaling fields exceeds initial forecasts thanks to the launch of the second phase in December 2024, information relayed by 360Afrique.
00:25This phase should produce between 50,000 and 60,000 barrels of oil per day and 50 to 60 million cubic feet of natural gas, against more modest estimates.
00:37The field, operated by Eni and Petrosi, aims at an accumulated production of 85,000 barrels per day by the end of 2025, with a decision expected for a possible third phase, which is to be read on the Pan-African website.
00:52Nigeria has signed an agreement with WAPCO, an international company that transports natural gas, to strengthen the security of its oil infrastructures, including the oleoduc, linking the country to Benin.
01:06This partnership comes after several attacks, pushing for the use of drones to monitor the route of nearly half a kilometre, despite diplomatic tensions with Benin since the coup d'état of 2023.
01:19Raw exports via the port of Seme-Podi continue. This strategic project, supported by China's National Petroleum Corporation, remains essential for the Nigerian economy and regional stability.
01:35In the Central African Republic, the vaccination campaign against the mpox begins this Saturday in Baiki, the country's main hospital for the epidemic.
01:45FAPA reports that more than 2,000 doses will be distributed in 14 health centres to vaccinate the most exposed people first, including nursing staff.
01:55The information site reminds us that a routine vaccination will follow to target the at-risk groups. Since October 1, the RCIA has recorded 57 confirmed cases in one trial, according to the WHO.
02:09Tanzania, for its part, has denied information indicating a suspicion of an epidemic of the deadly disease of Marburg in the north-west of the country.
02:19The WHO has reported nine possible cases of the deadly virus of Marburg in the Kajura region, where these suspected cases had been reported.
02:27According to the Minister of Health, samples analysis have been negative for the virus, although health surveillance has been strengthened by precautions.
02:38This alert comes after the recent end of a Marburg-Rwanda-neighbouring epidemic.
02:44The original virus of bats, frugivore, remains dangerous with a mortality rate of 88% and no vaccine or treatment available, notes the source of information.
02:56Finally, in Madagascar, President Rajolina aims to reach one million visitors in 2028.
03:02Biodiversity and preserved landscapes attract more and more tourists.
03:06Africa.com gives information to specify that the country welcomed around 310,000 international visitors in 2024.
03:13The country aims to reach one million tourists by 2028 thanks to massive investments of $10 billion from the United Arab Emirates and the opening of a direct line from Dubai to Tanana Revo by Emirates.
03:27Tourism, which accounts for 13% of GDP, is supported by ecotourism and the establishment of hotel groups, the online newspaper recalls.
