US President Donald Trump’s tariff announcements have rattled markets and the new levies are forcing a reconsideration of trade relations, including among African nations. Plus, Lagos hosts one of the world’s largest movie industries, Nollywood. But with the naira in flux, streamers are pulling back from initial plans to invest in local productions. Instead, local fund managers and investors are stepping in to plug the gap and reap the rewards.
