The Sahel Can Revolutionize Renewable Energy Access and Affordability Up to the Last Mile (By Reshmi Theckethil)

post-image

By Reshmi Theckethil, Lead Portfolio, Climate Action, Disaster Risk Reduction, Energy, and Resilience | Sahel Resilience Project Manager, UNDP Sub-Regional Hub for West and Central Africa (www.UNDP.org). 

 

Imagine a Sahel region where every household, school, and hospital has access to clean, affordable energy—where renewable power not only serves homes but also drives economic transformation. Given the region’s rich solar, wind, and hydro resources, this vision is achievable. With one of the highest potential for solar energy production globally, at 13.9 billion kWh/year compared to the global consumption of 20 billion kWh/year, the Sahel’s renewable energy capacity remains underutilised. Currently, over 55% of energy production is dominated by fossil fuels like oil and gas, while renewable sources remain marginal.

Over the last two decades, primary energy demand in almost half of the Sahel countries has grown by more than 4% annually [1]. However, urban areas benefit disproportionately, leaving…

Overuse of AI May Lead to Cognitive Decline and Skill Degradation, Experts Warn

post-image

 

As artificial intelligence (AI) becomes increasingly integrated into daily life, experts are raising concerns about the potential downsides of overreliance on AI-driven tools. While AI can enhance productivity, excessive dependence on it for tasks like writing, decision-making, and problem-solving may have unintended consequences.

Cognitive Decline and Skill Degradation

Analysts warn that constantly using AI instead of engaging in critical thinking and writing can lead to skill erosion. Just as muscles weaken without exercise, the human brain thrives on mental challenges. “The more you rely on AI to generate ideas and content, the less your brain is engaged, potentially leading to cognitive decline over time,” said a neuroscience researcher.

Some studies suggest that intellectual laziness—using AI for tasks one is capable of doing—can reduce neural activity. While AI learns and evolves from user input, the human brain, when underutilized, risks losing its sharpness.

Loss of Authenticity and Originality

Experts also caution that AI-generated content often…

A booming continent needs a new payment infrastructure

post-image

Africa is an exciting, vibrant and creative place to do business. But make no mistake, it has its challenges. Currency devaluation, political instability, and service disruptions are endemic. Africa is not for sissies, as the saying goes.

 

In navigating those challenges, relationships matter. It’s not so much about throwing money at a problem, it’s about investing time, building trust, meeting with partners and regulators, and understanding each other’s needs.

Africa offers an enormous upside for those prepared to make this time investment. The continent’s population is set to reach 2.5 billion (http://apo-opa.co/3W7Kp4w) by 2050, and Africa’s people are embracing digital technology, as the World Bank (http://apo-opa.co/3Waln4F) confirms. They are leveraging digital connectivity to improve their lives, educate themselves, send remittances, and start small enterprises. There is value in investing in that level of human development.

A Reflection on Our Financial Reality: How Far Have We Come?

post-image

By Tambuwa Matt Class

Let’s take a moment to examine the harsh financial realities of our lives as Nigerians, realities we often endure without fully understanding the magnitude of their impact.

In 2014, the cost of a 2008 Toyota Corolla Sport was 1.2 million naira. Today, in 2025, that same car—now 17 years old—is being sold for 9 million naira. On the surface, this might seem like a simple case of inflation, but the underlying truth is far more distressing. The real story here is the dramatic devaluation of our currency, the naira, over the past decade.

In 2014, 1.2 million naira was equivalent to $6,000. Fast forward to today, and that same $6,000 is worth about 10 million naira, yet 9 million naira is barely enough to exchange for $5,500. This represents a shocking 700% depreciation in the naira’s value over ten years.

The implications of this are staggering….
