  24 Million Malaria Cases — A Test Nigeria Must Not Fail By Obiageli Nwankwo The recent disclosure by health experts from John Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health at a World Malaria Day conference that Nigeria recorded over 24 million malaria cases within just nine months is not merely a statistic but a national warning signal.  For a disease that is preventable and treatable, the figure underscores a troubling truth: Nigeria’s fight against malaria is still far from where it should be.

 Benin holds presidential election


Benin is voting for a new president on Sunday, with nearly eight million voters eligible to cast ballots to choose a successor to Patrice Talon.


President Talon is stepping down after two five-year terms and has endorsed Finance Minister Romuald Wadagni as his potential successor.


Backed by the two main ruling parties, Wadagni is widely expected to win. He is being challenged by Paul Hounkpe, an opposition figure whose campaign has been very low-key and who needed help from majority lawmakers to secure the required parliamentary endorsements to get on the ballot.


The main opposition The Democrats party is not fielding a candidate as its leader, Renaud Agbodjo, failed to secure the required number of parliamentary endorsements needed to contest the vote.


The ruling majority blames The Democrats' exclusion on internal divisions. Several senior figures in the party joined Wadagni's campaign.


Benin's next elections will only take place in 2033, as a constitutional reform passed last year has extended the presidential term from five to seven years and synchronised all elections to take place then.
