The University of Lagos has been awarded a seed grant by the African Engineering and Technology Network to research digital growth in youth-led micro, small, and medium enterprises across Africa. The study, which will involve collaboration with the University of Nairobi, Kenya and the University of the Witwatersrand, South Africa, was announced in a statement obtained by The PUNCH on Saturday. The research lead from UNILAG’s Faculty of Management Sciences, Dr. Obigbemi Imoleayo, explained that the one-year project will focus on evaluating digital transformation and maturity within MSMEs across Sub-Saharan Africa. The research will cover various sectors, including health, energy, environment, and sustainability. Dr. Imoleayo noted that the study aims to identify the key challenges and opportunities that could accelerate digital adoption in Africa’s MSME ecosystem. She, however, lamented that these enterprises face high failure rates, often lacking the digital maturity needed to compete and grow sustainably. Recognising the transformative potential of digital technology, particularly for youth-led businesses, she said the study aims to assess the state of digital transformation in various sectors.

According to her, the structured research will proceed through distinct phases over the coming year. In the initial months, the research team will set objectives, refine methodologies, and build partnerships. “A comprehensive literature review and framework development are planned for months three and four, setting the groundwork for a digital maturity assessment survey and qualitative interviews,” she said. “These surveys and interviews will gauge digital capabilities and capture the lived experiences of MSMEs in adapting to new technologies. In the final stages, findings will be analysed and disseminated through workshops, conferences, and academic publications, ultimately informing policies that will accelerate MSMEs’ digital transformation,” she explained. Dr. Imoleayo reiterated that despite the advantages digital transformation offers, MSMEs often struggle to adopt necessary technologies due to resource constraints, including limited budgets, knowledge gaps, and time constraints. “This research will investigate several key questions, including the current level of digital maturity in MSMEs across sectors; the challenges and opportunities MSMEs encounter when adopting digital technologies; the impact of digital maturity on MSMEs’ business performance, innovation, and sustainability; and strategies and interventions to enhance MSMEs’ digital maturity,” she said. “Outcomes of the study will be shared with industry stakeholders, policymakers, and academia, aiming to foster a supportive environment for African MSMEs in the digital era. As part of this commitment, findings will also appear in policy briefs, book chapters, and journal articles,” she stated.

It was more than rumors that Japanese automotive giants Nissan and Honda were eyeing a merger by 2026 which would revolutionize the industry with the appearance of what in Reuters' view would be the third-largest auto group worldwide. The two companies signed a memorandum of understanding whereby discussions about integration via a joint holding company would go on during 2025, it was announced. Earlier this month, Nissan's CEO Makoto Uchida admitted that the company's situation was “severe.” In addition, Mitsubishi Motors, of which Nissan owns a 24% stake, will decide next month whether to join the merger. Japanese automakers are trailing their international competitors in the electric vehicle field, including Tesla and China's BYD. The rise of Chinese automakers and new players has changed the car industry quite a lot, Honda CEO Toshihiro Mibe said. We have to build up capabilities to fight with them by 2030, otherwise we'll be beaten, he added. According to a leading automotive industry expert, Nissan and Honda would be positioning themselves for the future, which will be defined by electrification and autonomous technology. According to Mibe, Honda would retain a leading role in the partnership after the merger, which is expected to be completed by June with the new holding company listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange by August 2026. As per an Associated Press estimate based on Mibe's statements, a merger could result in a behemoth worth more than [US]$ 50 billion based on the market capitalization of all three automakers - Honda, Nissan, and Mitsubishi, who seek to take on Toyota and Volkswagen. “We have come to the realization that in order for both parties to be leaders in this mobility transformation, it is necessary to make a bolder change than a collaboration in specific areas,” Mibe said. Even after a merger Toyota, which rolled out 11.5 million vehicles in 2023, would remain the leading Japanese automaker. If they join, the three smaller companies would make about 8 million vehicles. In 2023, Honda made 4 million and Nissan produced 3.4 million. Mitsubishi Motors made just over 1 million.West Ham’s striker Michail Antonio, on Saturday, was involved in a road traffic accident, as confirmed by the Premier League club.

MUNICH (AP) — Harry Kane is the quickest player to score 50 goals in the Bundesliga after scoring a hat trick on his 43rd appearance on Friday. Kane’s three goals – including two penalties – gave Bayern a 3-0 win over Augsburg, stretching the Bavarian powerhouse’s lead to eight points ahead of the rest of the 11th round. Kane scored 36 goals in 32 league appearances last season, his first for Bayern after joining from Tottenham. It was also the first season since 2012 that Bayern failed to win the title, as Bayer Leverkusen went undefeated to snap Bayern’s winning run. As well as 14 league goals this season, Kane has scored five in the Champions League and one in the German Cup. Against Augsburg, he had to be patient as Augsburg goalkeeper Nediljko Labrović and his defenders stood firm. “It was somehow typical Harry Kane,” Bayern coach Vincent Kompany said. “It was close in the first half, close, close, close, and then it happens, I think three goals in 15 minutes. Of course, he can do that. But for such a player, I have to say, he had a lot of chances that he could maybe make more of. Then, in an instant, everything is perfect and he can score many goals.” Winnipeg Jets Game Days On Winnipeg Jets game days, hockey writers Mike McIntyre and Ken Wiebe send news, notes and quotes from the morning skate, as well as injury updates and lineup decisions.
