The African Democratic Congress, ADC, yesterday, accused the Presidency of plotting to destabilise the growing opposition coalition, ahead of the 2027 general elections.

The consequences of poor infrastructure on building a competitive industrial sector weigh heavily on the prospect of leveraging a tumbling dollar and the broader United States economy to strengthen the value of the naira.
