Last update: 12 hours agoOil & Gas Expansion: Petrobras signed production-sharing contracts for eight offshore exploration blocks in Ivory Coast, taking a 90% operating stake in each while state firm Petroci holds 10%, as the company targets reserve replacement beyond Brazil and plans about $7.1bn for exploration over five years, with Africa a key focus including prior activity in Ghana, Namibia and São Tomé and Príncipe. Local Economy & Jobs: Ahead of São Tomé and Príncipe’s Sunday elections, voters say the top priority is stopping youth emigration by creating jobs and new business opportunities, with calls for investment including a new port and airport. Nature, Tourism & Livelihoods: On Príncipe, South African tech entrepreneur Mark Shuttleworth’s Faya Foundation has started quarterly payments to residents who pledge to avoid environmentally damaging activities; early payouts are far below the advertised maximum, drawing both praise for immediate support and criticism that the approach may miss wider government-led economic and social needs.
