Dangote Industries, owned by Africa’s richest man, appointed MTN Group Ltd. Chief Executive Officer Ralph Mupita to the board of its fertilizer business as it prepares to expand and list the operation in Nigeria. Dangote Fertiliser Ltd. Managing Director Vishwajit Sinha confirmed Mupita’s appointment in an email response to questions. The high-profile hire to Aliko Dangote ’s stable comes as Dangote Fertiliser plans an initial public offering on the Nigerian Stock Exchange this year. Mupita spearheaded the listing of MTN’s unit in the West African nation in 2019, a business whose revenue has more than quadrupled since. With a market value of $8.6 billion, it’s the bourse’s biggest company after BUA Foods Ltd. Africa is home to the fastest-growing population worldwide. Rising food demand, urbanization and expanding regional trade could see agriculture grow to beyond $1 trillion by 2030, according to the African Development Bank . This creates a huge market for fertilizer firms on the continent, although the majority of farmers still struggle with limited access to finance, infrastructure and markets. Dangote Fertiliser produces about 3 million tons of granulated urea annually and plans to be the largest maker globally by 2028, said Dangote previously. To do this, it needs to expand its $2.5 billion complex in Lagos, and will start building a facility in Ethiopia this year.

Before that, he held senior positions at South African financial services group Old Mutual Ltd. and initially trained as an engineer.

AI is short on memory, and Micron Technology is well positioned to meet that need and potentially become the industry leader in the process. Generative artificial intelligence (AI) software such as OpenAI's ChatGPT that was introduced to the market in late 2022 is advancing remarkably fast. But while it's been around for just a few years, such innovations in generative AI are already bumping into some serious limitations, such as power and memory. While the power problem -- getting enough computing capacity and data centers to run generative AI software -- gets a lot of attention, the memory issue may actually be easier to solve. It amounts to producing more memory hardware like random access memory (RAM) and dynamic random access memory (DRAM). And there is one company I foresee becoming a leader in that particular niche of the broader AI industry: Micron Technology (MU +5.44%). Idaho: Famous for more than potatoes these days Based in Boise, Idaho, Micron has emerged as an early leader in the AI memory space. In the past 12 months, it has seen its shares rocket up 277%. And given a huge secular tailwind in the form of the AI-driven memory shortage, I see Micron's growth accelerating. CNBC reports that this year, there won't be enough RAM to meet global demand. As a result, according to TrendForce analyst Tom Hsu, prices for memory components are expected to rise by 50% in the first quarter of 2026 alone.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer at Downing Street on January 27, 2026 in London, England. Jack Taylor | Getty Images News | Getty Images BEIJING — Nearly 60 British businesses and cultural organizations will join U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer on his trip to China this week, the first such state visit in eight years . Starmer is due to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping and Premier Li Qiang on Thursday to discuss trade, investment and national security, according to an official U.K. readout that listed the business representatives accompanying the British leader. The group includes financial industry leaders such as HSBC Group Chairman Brendan Nelson and Aberdeen Group CEO Jason Windsor. Aircraft giant Airbus 's general counsel John Harrison will also join, along with British Airways Chief Commercial Officer Colm Lacy. Pharmaceutical executives accompanying Starmer include AstraZeneca CEO Pascal Soriot and GSK Chair Sir Jonathan Symonds. The visit comes as Beijing hosts a series of foreign leaders this month amid escalating U.S. tensions with its trading partners and disputes involving Greenland. Earlier this month, Canada's Prime Minister Mark Carney visited Beijing. On the first Monday of 2026, Xi met Ireland's Prime Minister Michael Martin — the first visit by an Irish leader in 14 years — and hosted South Korea's President Lee Jae Myung later in the day. Xi also met Tuesday with Finnish Prime Minister Petteri Orpo.
