Kenya’s Petroleum Regulator Returns To Study Ghana’s Model

Kenya’s Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) is back in Ghana, studying the systems that turned the National Petroleum Authority (NPA) into a regional benchmark since 2022.

The current tour adds Ghana to a growing list of countries drawing on NPA’s approach to downstream regulation. Sierra Leone’s National Petroleum and Regulatory Authority sent officials to study the same framework in October 2025, and Kenyan regulators made a similar trip in 2022, when the relationship between the two agencies began.

NPA Chief Executive Officer Godwin Kudzo Tameklo received the EPRA delegation alongside Deputy Chief Executive Dr Sheila Addo and members of the Authority’s Executive Committee. Rasheed Dauda, Head of Policy at NPA’s Policy Coordination Directorate, led the briefings on licensing, pricing oversight and enforcement measures built up over more than two decades of downstream regulation in Ghana.

The exchange revives an older relationship. NPA officials visited EPRA’s Nairobi headquarters in early 2022 under then Chief Executive Mustapha Abdul Hamid. EPRA’s Director General at the time said his team wanted to understand Ghana’s Unified Petroleum Pricing Fund, the mechanism that keeps pump prices uniform across the country. EPRA sent its own delegation to Ghana weeks later, and the two regulators have kept up periodic exchanges since.

For Kenya, the stakes extend beyond courtesy diplomacy. EPRA carries a wider mandate than NPA, regulating electricity and renewable generation alongside petroleum, and its pipeline network feeds fuel to landlocked neighbors including Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Any shift in how it prices or licenses fuel distribution carries weight across East Africa’s supply chain.

NPA was established under the National Petroleum Authority Act 2005, Act 691, to regulate licensing, quality assurance and price administration in Ghana’s downstream sector. The Authority said the latest visit reflects a continued commitment to sharing regulatory expertise across the continent.

Neither NPA nor EPRA had published a formal statement on new agreements arising from the visit at the time of filing.

Asiedu Nketia’s NDC Lead Narrows as Forson Gains

National Chairman Johnson Asiedu Nketia narrowly leads Finance Minister Cassiel Ato Forson in a one on one vote among party delegates, a new poll shows, with a third still undecided.

The finding comes from Global InfoAnalytics’ latest delegate survey for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), taken as the party weighs who will carry its banner into the 2028 election. NDC delegates, not the general public, choose that candidate, a vote expected in 2027 under the party’s constitution.

Across the full field, Asiedu Nketia held first choice support of 27%, with Ato Forson at 22%. Vice President Naana Jane Opoku Agyemang polled 7%, Education Minister Haruna Iddrisu 6%, and Chief of Staff Julius Debrah 5%. Roughly 30% of delegates named no preference, the survey’s largest single group.

Measured against Global InfoAnalytics’ April survey, Ato Forson’s support rose a point while Asiedu Nketia’s slipped by one. Iddrisu’s support fell two points and Debrah’s dropped four. The pollster’s trend line shows undecided delegates climbing from 23% in April to 27%, though the survey’s overall count puts the undecided share closer to 30%, a discrepancy that signals how fluid the numbers remain this close to the contest.

The clearest movement sits in the south. In the Volta and Oti regions, Ato Forson’s support nearly doubled, from 12% in April to 23%, while Asiedu Nketia’s slipped from 30% to 24%. In the Akan regions, Ato Forson climbed from 21% to 25% as Asiedu Nketia fell from 31% to 27%. The chairman held his ground only in the north, where his support rose from 26% to 31% as Iddrisu’s home turf backing collapsed from 35% to 19%.

Against rivals other than Ato Forson, Asiedu Nketia’s lead stays wide. He leads Iddrisu 45% to 16%, Opoku Agyemang 46% to 15%, and Debrah 45% to 16% in one on one match ups, each with a sizeable undecided bloc. The pattern holds a clear message: Ato Forson is the only contender narrowing the chairman’s advantage.

No date has been set for the NDC’s flagbearer vote. With close to a third of delegates still uncommitted, that bloc, more than either front runner, looks set to decide who takes the party into 2028.

Buah Defends Cooperative Mining Initiative, Says rCOMSDEP Is Ghana’s Pathway to Responsible Mining

Story By: Felix Ernest Odamtten / Muhammad Faisal Mustapha…

The Minister for Lands and Natural Resources, Hon. Emmanuel Armah-Kofi Buah, has strongly defended the Responsible Cooperative Mining and Skills Development Programme (rCOMSDEP), describing it as a structured pathway towards responsible mining rather than a mechanism for promoting illegal mining, popularly known as galamsey.

Speaking during a government accountability engagement, the Lands Minister said the initiative was developed to provide a regulated and sustainable framework for thousands of Ghanaians who depend on mining activities for their livelihoods.

Hon. Buah explained that Ghana’s mining sector requires practical solutions that recognise the realities on the ground while introducing stronger systems to protect the environment and ensure that mineral resources contribute meaningfully to national development.

“Cooperative mining is not galamsey. It is a responsible mining pathway designed to bring order, training and sustainability into the small-scale mining sector,” the Minister stated.

He noted that mining remains a significant economic activity involving millions of citizens across several regions, making it necessary for government to introduce interventions that promote lawful participation and responsible resource extraction.

“We have a challenge that cannot be ignored. More than three million Ghanaians are engaged in mining activities across different regions, and the solution is not simply to condemn them; the solution is to create a responsible system that works,” he said.

The Minister said rCOMSDEP forms part of a broader government strategy to address illegal mining through a combination of education, stakeholder engagement, institutional reforms, collaboration and improved regulation of the sector.

According to him, the programme seeks to transform the small-scale mining landscape by equipping miners, especially young people, with the knowledge and skills required to operate within environmental and legal standards.

“Mining must not come at the cost of destroying our forests, polluting our rivers or damaging our lands. There is a responsible way to mine, and that is what we are promoting,” Hon. Buah emphasised.

The initiative will place strong emphasis on training and capacity building, with participants expected to gain knowledge in environmentally friendly mining techniques, land restoration and sustainable resource management practices.

The Minister revealed that government’s target includes training thousands of young people under the programme, while ensuring that local communities and traditional authorities play a central role in monitoring and supporting mining activities.

He stressed that community ownership would be essential to the success of the programme, as local involvement would help guarantee accountability, transparency and compliance with responsible mining principles.

Hon. Buah explained that traditional leaders, community representatives and relevant institutions would work together to ensure that mining operations under the cooperative model follow approved guidelines and protect Ghana’s natural resources.

The Lands Minister maintained that rCOMSDEP is not a replacement for the fight against illegal mining but rather a complementary intervention aimed at creating lawful opportunities for people involved in small-scale mining.

He assured Ghanaians that government remains committed to balancing economic empowerment with environmental protection, ensuring that the country’s mineral wealth becomes a foundation for sustainable development.

As Ghana continues its efforts to reform the mining sector, the Responsible Cooperative Mining and Skills Development Programme is being positioned as a major policy intervention aimed at changing the narrative around small-scale mining and building a more responsible future for the industry.

Ghana Youth Emigration Interest Doubles Since 2017

Ghana Youth Emigration Interest Doubles Since 2017

New Afrobarometer data shows Ghana ranks among Africa’s highest for youth considering emigration, with the share thinking about it seriously more than doubling since 2017.

The continental picture, released to mark World Youth Skills Day and based on 50,961 interviews across 38 African countries in 2024 and 2025, found job creation is young Africans’ top priority for government investment, cited by 48 percent, well ahead of education at 17 percent, jobs training at 14 percent, business loans at 13 percent and social services at 8 percent. Asked what keeps young people out of work beyond general economic conditions and job scarcity, respondents pointed first to inadequate training, cited by roughly a quarter, and lack of work experience, cited by about a fifth. Given a free choice of sector, half of young Africans said they would rather start their own business than work in government, the private sector or for a nongovernmental organisation.

Emigration featured heavily in the findings. Across the continent, 55 percent of young people said they had given at least some thought to moving abroad, with 43 percent describing that interest as “somewhat” or “a lot,” driven mainly by the search for better jobs and an escape from economic hardship. Ghana placed among the five highest countries on this measure at 63 percent, behind only The Gambia, Cabo Verde, Liberia and Guinea-Bissau.

A separate, Ghana focused Afrobarometer dispatch suggests the picture at home is sharper still. It found 72 percent of young Ghanaians have considered emigrating, and that the share who have thought about it “a lot” has more than doubled since 2017, from 26 percent to 55 percent. The same data shows Ghanaian youth are considerably more educated than their elders, with 76 percent holding secondary or post-secondary qualifications compared with 49 to 66 percent among older cohorts, yet more likely to be job hunting, at 34 percent versus 20 to 21 percent for the middle aged. Eighty four percent of young Ghanaians say the country is headed in the wrong direction.

The trend has a concrete face in at least one sector: Ghana loses an estimated 400 to 500 nurses a month to emigration, according to the International Council of Nurses, a pace that has strained staffing in the health system even as the country continues to train more nurses than it retains. Ghana sits on both sides of West Africa’s migration patterns, hosting roughly 471,000 immigrants and more than 13,000 refugees, mostly from neighbouring countries, even as its own young people increasingly look abroad. Ghanaians aged 15 to 35 make up 38 percent of the national population and 60 percent of the labour force, according to the Ghana Statistical Service, meaning the barriers and emigration pressures the survey captures bear on the bulk of the country’s current and future workforce.

Afrobarometer’s continental findings carry a margin of error of two to three percentage points at a 95 percent confidence level, with all 38 countries weighted equally in multi-country averages regardless of population size.

Mid-Year Review: Lands Ministry Highlights Progress, Challenges and New Priorities

Story By: Felix Ernest Odamtten / Muhammad Faisal Mustapha….

The Minister for Lands and Natural Resources, Hon. Emmanuel Armah-Kofi Buah, has presented a comprehensive mid-year review of his sector’s performance, highlighting government’s commitment to responsible resource management, environmental protection, sustainable mining and reforms within Ghana’s lands and natural resources landscape.

The presentation, delivered under the Government Accountability Series, provided an opportunity for the Ministry to account for its activities during the first half of the year while outlining achievements, ongoing programmes and strategic priorities aimed at strengthening the country’s natural resource governance.

The accountability session forms part of government’s broader commitment to transparency and public engagement, allowing sector ministers to present progress reports, address national concerns and explain policies being implemented to improve the lives of citizens.

In his address, Hon. Emmanuel Armah-Kofi Buah emphasised that the Ministry’s vision remains focused on ensuring that Ghana’s natural resources become a catalyst for inclusive economic growth, environmental sustainability and long-term national development.

«“Our natural resources belong to the people of Ghana, and our responsibility is to manage them in a way that delivers lasting benefits while protecting the environment for future generations,” the Minister stated.»

The Lands Minister highlighted ongoing reforms within the mining sector, particularly efforts to promote responsible mining practices, strengthen regulatory systems and create opportunities for communities to participate meaningfully in the responsible exploitation of mineral resources.

He reiterated government’s determination to tackle illegal mining activities while supporting legitimate small-scale miners through structured interventions, skills development and cooperative models designed to promote environmentally responsible operations.

«“The future of mining in Ghana must be built on responsibility, innovation and sustainability. We cannot sacrifice our environment today at the expense of tomorrow’s generations,” Hon. Buah noted.»

The Minister also touched on measures aimed at improving land administration, enhancing institutional efficiency and ensuring that land resources are managed transparently for national development projects, investment and community growth.

According to him, effective management of Ghana’s lands and natural resources requires collaboration among government institutions, traditional authorities, private sector actors, civil society organisations and local communities.

The review further highlighted the Ministry’s commitment to environmental restoration programmes, including initiatives aimed at reclaiming degraded lands and protecting Ghana’s forests, rivers and ecosystems from increasing pressures.

Stakeholders have described the accountability engagement as an important platform for measuring government’s performance and ensuring that public institutions remain responsive to the expectations of citizens.

The Minister stressed that sustainable development cannot be achieved without balancing economic growth with environmental protection and responsible resource utilisation.

«“Development must not only be measured by what we extract from the earth, but also by what we preserve for the generations that will come after us,” he said.»

The mid-year review comes at a time when Ghana continues to pursue reforms within the natural resources sector, with increasing attention on sustainable mining, climate resilience and improved governance.

Hon. Emmanuel Armah-Kofi Buah assured the public that the Ministry would continue to pursue policies that protect Ghana’s natural heritage while creating opportunities for economic empowerment and national transformation.

As the government continues its accountability engagements, the Lands and Natural Resources Ministry’s performance review provides insight into the progress made so far and the strategic direction for the remaining months of the year.

Muscle Cells Found To Produce EPO Hormone

Muscle Cells Found To Produce EPO Hormone

Korean researchers have found that skeletal muscle can produce the hormone erythropoietin, a function long attributed only to the kidneys and liver, depending on which oxygen sensing protein is active.

A team led by Dong-il Kim and Min-Jung Park at Chonnam National University’s College of Veterinary Medicine, working with 13 co-authors including University of Michigan collaborator Jun Wu, built three complementary mouse models to isolate the roles of two related proteins, HIF1α and HIF2α, that cells rely on when oxygen runs low. One model had all three prolyl hydroxylase domains that normally restrain HIF activity removed entirely in muscle fibres, while two others had HIF1α or HIF2α individually stabilised. The team tested both male and female mice and found consistent results across sexes. The work was posted online in February 2026 and published in the April 15 issue of the Journal of Clinical Investigation.

The two proteins turned out to push muscle physiology in different, non-overlapping directions. Stabilising HIF1α increased the share of oxidative muscle fibres, a trait usually linked to endurance, yet the mice performed worse on treadmill tests and showed impaired mitochondrial function, meaning the muscle looked more endurance built on the surface while its underlying energy production suffered. “This study demonstrates the distinct, non-redundant roles of HIF1α and HIF2α in skeletal muscle,” Park said.

HIF2α produced the opposite pattern. Its activation improved glucose tolerance, reduced weight gain, preserved mitochondrial function without changing fibre type, and was linked to lower food intake and higher levels of the hormone GLP-1. The most unexpected result was that HIF2α activation drove muscle tissue to produce and release erythropoietin, the hormone that stimulates red blood cell production and is conventionally made by the kidneys and liver. When the researchers deleted EPO specifically from muscle in mice lacking all three PHDs, the abnormal blood cell counts seen in those animals returned to normal, confirming the muscle itself, not another organ, was the source.

The authors caution the findings come entirely from mouse models and that further study is needed before any clinical application is considered. They also flag a safety question worth watching: because pharmacological drugs that inhibit PHDs are already used or under investigation to treat anaemia by stabilising HIF pathways broadly, doing so without distinguishing between HIF1α and HIF2α could risk muscle dysfunction or excessive red blood cell production. Muscle derived EPO does not appear to activate under normal conditions, the authors say, but could become clinically relevant in situations where kidney EPO production is impaired.

The findings add to a broader shift in how physiologists view skeletal muscle, less as tissue purely for movement and more as an organ capable of influencing whole body glucose handling and blood cell production. Park completed postdoctoral training at the University of Michigan under Bishr Omary before returning to Chonnam National University to study muscle physiology and hypoxia signalling, while Kim did his postdoctoral work at Michigan under Jun Wu, who went on to co-author this study, focusing on metabolic disease and gene delivery research.

President of National Council of Zabarma Chiefs Extols Yaa-Naa’s Legacy

By Felix Ernest Odamtten/Muhammed Faisal Mustapha

The President of the National Council of Zabarma Chiefs, Sarki Alhaji Musa Yahya Yendu, speaking on behalf of the Zabarma community in Ghana, has expressed profound sorrow over the passing of the Overlord of Dagbon, Yaa-Naa Abukari Mahama II, describing his death as a great loss to the people of Dagbon, the traditional institution, and Ghana as a whole.

In a message of condolence, Sarki Yendu said the late Yaa-Naa was a distinguished traditional ruler whose reign was marked by wisdom, humility, peacebuilding and a steadfast commitment to the unity and development of Dagbon.

He noted that the Yaa-Naa’s leadership transcended the boundaries of the Dagbon Kingdom, earning him admiration and respect from traditional rulers, religious leaders and people from all walks of life across Ghana.

According to Sarki Yendu, the late monarch played a significant role in promoting peaceful coexistence, dialogue and national cohesion while preserving the rich customs and traditions of the Dagbon Kingdom.

Speaking on behalf of the Zabarma community in Ghana, Sarki Yendu said the community joins the people of Dagbon in mourning the revered traditional ruler, adding that his legacy of service, justice and unity would continue to inspire future generations.

He extended his heartfelt condolences to the Dagbon Traditional Council, the Regent, the royal family, the chiefs and people of Dagbon, as well as the Government of Ghana, praying that Allah grants the late Yaa-Naa Al-Jannah Firdaus and comforts all who have been affected by the loss.

“The passing of Yaa-Naa Abukari Mahama II is not only a loss to Dagbon but to the entire nation. His commitment to peace, traditional governance and national development will forever be remembered,” Sarki Yendu stated.

Sarki Yendu, who has consistently advocated peace, unity and cultural preservation among Zabarma communities across Ghana, urged all Ghanaians to honour the memory of the late Yaa-Naa by promoting tolerance, mutual respect and peaceful coexistence.

Korean Team Unveils Microbial Gene Editing Platform

Korean Team Unveils Microbial Gene Editing Platform

South Korean researchers have developed a genome engineering platform called iTARGET that nearly tripled production of a valuable compound in E. coli by combining several existing techniques into one workflow.

The platform was developed by Professor Gyoo Yeol Jung of POSTECH, Professor Sungho Jang of Incheon National University, Professor Sang Woo Seo of Seoul National University and collaborators from UNIST, along with co-authors including Jaeseong Hwang, Yong Hee Han and Donghyuk Kim. iTARGET, short for integrated Tn-seq and multiplex automated genome engineering assisted rapid genome engineering targeting, combines transposon mutagenesis, biosensor guided selection and multiplex automated genome editing into a single process, addressing a gap the team says existing methods rarely solve together: generating genetic variants and identifying which combinations of changes actually improve production. The work was posted online in November 2025 and published in the March 2026 issue of Trends in Biotechnology.

To test the platform, the team targeted naringenin, a plant derived compound used as a precursor in pharmaceuticals and other bioactive products. Random genetic changes were introduced across the microbial genome, and a built in biosensor enriched the population for cells producing more naringenin. Analysis of that enriched population identified ten candidate genetic targets, nine of which were confirmed individually to boost production when removed, with the strongest single change lifting output 2.3-fold over the unmodified strain. Combining two of those targets pushed production up 2.8-fold, a gain the researchers say would have been difficult to predict by testing genes one at a time. “As new engineered biosensors are developed for different chemicals,” Jang said, iTARGET should be able to extend the same approach to a much wider range of compounds beyond naringenin, including bioplastics, biofuels, flavour compounds and pharmaceutical intermediates.

The published study is explicit about how far the work still has to go. The authors classify the platform at Technology Readiness Level 4, meaning it has been validated only under controlled laboratory conditions, and say reaching the next stage will require testing in industrially relevant production strains, pilot scale fermentation and a wider range of operating conditions. They also flag specific technical gaps still to close, including the need for more sensitive, production linked biosensors and improvements to the efficiency of the multiplex editing step itself, before the platform could move toward commercial scale production.

Jang, an associate professor in Incheon National University’s Department of Bioengineering, focuses his broader research on synthetic RNA devices such as riboswitches for gene regulation and metabolite sensing, work he has applied to chemical production, microbiome engineering and molecular diagnostics. He completed his PhD in chemical engineering at POSTECH in 2017 and postdoctoral training at Boston University before joining Incheon National University, which was founded in 1979 and now enrols close to 14,000 students.

Mandela Family, Datavault AI Detail Stablecoin Plan

Mandela Family, Datavault AI Detail Stablecoin Plan

Nelson Mandela’s granddaughter Zaziwe Dlamini-Manaway and technology partner Datavault AI have laid out both the rationale and the technical architecture behind a proposed stablecoin called the Mandela Dollar, while confirming the project remains an early stage plan with no live product yet.

The token, known as MUSD, is being developed by Mandela Digital, a joint venture formed this month between Nasdaq listed Datavault AI Inc, financial structuring firm Unity Reserve Holdings, and Mandela Dlamini and Manaway LLC, a Wyoming based entity affiliated with members of the Mandela family. It is designed as a dollar pegged digital currency aimed at remittances, savings and micro-lending for unbanked and underbanked communities across Africa, Southeast Asia, Latin America and diaspora corridors worldwide. Datavault AI’s own disclosures are explicit that MUSD remains a proposal rather than a live product: it has not yet been developed or launched on any exchange or blockchain, no token sale of any kind has been authorised, and the companies involved say there is no assurance the coin will ultimately be launched or approved in any jurisdiction. The public has been cautioned against any unauthorised tokens or accounts claiming to represent it.

Dlamini-Manaway, a director of MDM LLC, frames the project as continuing a specific piece of unfinished business from her grandfather’s presidency. “During his lifetime, freedom and democracy was realised, we still need to fulfil his vision for economic empowerment for Africa and the underserved communities globally,” she said, arguing that dignity for the poor cannot be separated from access to basic financial tools. She said the family sees itself as custodian of that legacy rather than simply a licensor of the Mandela name. “We are very cognizant of the partnerships we lend our name to and are guided by the wishes and instruction personally given to us by our grandfather,” she said.

Datavault AI chief executive Nathaniel Bradley set out the technical case behind that trust. He said the venture’s security architecture rests on infrastructure from Available Infrastructure, a Virginia based edge computing firm whose SanQtum platform runs IBM’s watsonx AI software across a network of small, localised data centres rather than distant central clouds, a collaboration Datavault AI and IBM have confirmed separately from the Mandela Dollar announcement. Bradley described the combination as a “quantum resistant” security layer intended to protect transactions against both current threats and future attacks from quantum computers, paired with zero trust verification in which every access and transaction is continuously checked rather than automatically trusted. It is worth noting that “quantum resistant” and “quantum ready” are Available Infrastructure’s own description of its architecture rather than an IBM branded product, and that IBM’s confirmed role is supplying AI software rather than a specific quantum encryption technology.

Beyond security, Bradley said MUSD’s design follows a fairly conventional stablecoin template: reserves held in segregated custody, independent audits and real time on-chain proof-of-reserve publication, structured to align with the US GENIUS Act signed into law in July 2025, which requires payment stablecoins to hold one-to-one reserves and disclose them monthly. Governance sits with a joint board representing Datavault AI, Unity Reserve Holdings and MDM LLC. Bradley pointed to MUSD’s intended low fees for remittance corridors and a planned share of protocol revenue directed toward Mandela aligned education and anti-poverty programmes as features he said most other dollar backed stablecoins do not build in, alongside longer term ambitions to tokenise real world assets such as agricultural produce or carbon credits for African entrepreneurs, goals that remain aspirational rather than active projects.

The commercial side of the venture is smaller than the ambition behind it. Datavault AI reported revenue of about 41.9 million dollars over the past twelve months, while its shares have traded near 36 cents, down over the past week around the time of the announcement. On timing, Bradley said the joint venture is “currently in the construction phase,” with the next 12 months expected to bring technology integration, regulatory engagement, wallet and exchange integration work, and pilot testing in priority African and emerging market corridors, all explicitly contingent on regulatory approval and market conditions. No pilot has begun.

MUSD would enter a market shaped by both opportunity and new regulation. The World Bank estimated remittances to low and middle income countries reached about 685 billion dollars in 2024, with the average cost of sending money still running more than double the United Nations’ 3 percent target, the gap stablecoin backers argue their technology can close. Stablecoins in circulation globally surpassed 300 billion dollars in 2026, according to DeFiLlama.

The announcement lands ahead of Nelson Mandela International Day on July 18, marked worldwide by 67 minutes of volunteer service. Dlamini-Manaway said this year’s theme, that combating poverty and inequality remains in people’s own hands, applies as much to Africa’s economic future as to any single day of service. “Africa will only succeed if we want better for ourselves,” she said. “There is no other option.”
