Wamkele Mene, Secretary General of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) Secretariat, has been confirmed as a keynote speaker at South Sudan Oil & Power (SSOP) 2026, taking place November 24–25 in Juba. His participation comes as South Sudan deepens petroleum and infrastructure ties with regional neighbors, bringing the country’s energy investment agenda into a broader discussion around regional trade, market access and economic integration.
Mene’s participation follows his July 2026 visit to Juba, during which he engaged with government and private-sector stakeholders on South Sudan’s pathway toward AfCFTA ratification and the opportunities presented by the continental market. The country signed the AfCFTA agreement in 2018. During the visit, South Sudanese authorities highlighted the role of the platform in strengthening private-sector participation, supporting SME growth and advancing broader trade and regional ties.
For South Sudan, AfCFTA membership stands to advance regional integration across an energy sector that is inherently dependent on cross-border trade and infrastructure. As a landlocked oil producer, the country relies on pipelines through Sudan to move crude to international markets, while neighboring countries provide important routes for petroleum imports, equipment, services and logistics.
Recent disruptions have highlighted the commercial risks associated with this dependence. Damage to export infrastructure in Sudan disrupted South Sudanese crude flows in 2024, while the government has sought to strengthen complementary regional supply routes. In 2025, South Sudan and Kenya established a framework for petroleum-product imports through the Port of Mombasa and Northern Corridor, including access to pipeline and storage infrastructure.
AfCFTA membership would add a trade and investment dimension to these physical regional connections. Ratification would enable qualifying South Sudanese businesses to trade under the Agreement’s preferential framework, potentially reducing barriers to the movement of goods and services required by the energy industry while improving access to markets across the continent.
This regional integration agenda provides a strong backdrop to SSOP 2026. South Sudan is targeting an increase in oil production from approximately 170,000 barrels per day (bpd) to 230,000 bpd in the short term and 450,000 bpd over the longer term. Reaching these targets will require investment not only in exploration and mature-field redevelopment, but also in the infrastructure, services and regional commercial relationships needed to support higher production and connect projects with markets.
Mene’s participation will bring this continental trade and investment perspective to SSOP 2026. Held under the theme Resource Renaissance – Energy-Fueled Growth for a New Generation, the conference will connect government, operators, investors, financiers and service companies as South Sudan seeks to translate energy investment into wider industrial and economic growth.
Now in its seventh edition, SSOP has a proven track record of converting high-level engagement into actionable commercial and cross-border partnerships. The event has facilitated landmark agreements spanning exploration, production and infrastructure cooperation with regional partners such as Djibouti and South Africa.

TORONTO, ONTARIO - October 22, 2026 - NeuroThera Labs Inc. (TSXV: NTLX) (the "Company" or "NeuroThera"), a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company and a subsidiary of SciSparc Ltd., today announced further progress in its U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) approved clinical trial program evaluating SCI-110 for the treatment of Tourette Syndrome (“TS”) in adults.
The Company has successfully completed the manufacturing of the investigational product and obtained the required batch release certification from a European Qualified Person (“QP”), a key regulatory milestone authorizing shipment of clinical trial material to participating study sites. The release enables site activation activities and supports the initiation of patient enrollment in the FDA-approved Phase IIb clinical trial for TS.
The Phase IIb clinical trial is being conducted at three clinical sites: Yale Child Study Center at Yale School of Medicine in New Haven, Connecticut, USA; Hannover Medical School in Hanover, Germany; and Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center in Tel Aviv, Israel. All participating sites have successfully completed their site initiation activities and are prepared to receive clinical trial drug supplies following QP batch release.
Completion of site initiation activities across all participating clinical centers, together with the successful European QP release of clinical trial supplies, marks a significant operational milestone for NeuroThera. The Company is now advancing toward patient enrollment in its Phase IIb clinical trial for TS, with investigational product shipments to study sites expected in the near term.
SCI-110 is NeuroThera’s proprietary, patent-protected cannabinoid-based drug candidate, combining dronabinol and palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) in a single oral dosage form. The Phase IIb study is evaluating SCI-110's efficacy, safety and tolerability in adults with TS, a condition with substantial unmet treatment needs.

ANTWERPEN, BELGIUM, Oct 22, 2026 - OMP, a leader in AI-powered supply chain solutions, recently honored six global brands at its conferences held earlier this month in Singapore and Shanghai. The recognized companies - Procter & Gamble (P&G), Nestlé, Mars, AstraZeneca, ITC, and Bekaert - were celebrated for driving decision velocity, co-innovation, and impactful business results.
Supply Chain Innovation & Excellence Award: Nestlé and Bekaert
Nestlé, one of the world's largest food and beverage companies, and Bekaert, a global market and technology leader in material science of steel wire transformation and coating technologies, received OMP's Supply Chain Innovation & Excellence award for their breadth of deployment and depth of co-innovation.
Nestlé aligns its supply network at the strategic, tactical, and operational levels on OMP's Unison Planning™ platform, connecting forecasting, planning, and replenishment end-to-end. As more routine work becomes touchless, planners can focus on the decisions that drive the business, and Nestlé continues to roll out best practices throughout the organization.
Bekaert integrated scenario planning directly into its S&OP, shifting teams from reactive firefighting to proactive, value-driven conversations. In its green hydrogen business, what-if modeling protects mid- and long-term strategic control. Furthermore, planners use Unison Companion, OMP's generative AI assistant, to generate tables, compare scenarios, and retrieve information in natural language.
"This award recognizes the ongoing transformation of our end-to-end supply chain planning," says Bo Yang, Senior Manager, Global Supply Chain Process Management at Bekaert Rubber Reinforcement. "We've moved from manual Excel calculations and individual experience to standardized planning on OMP's Unison Planning™ platform. Our decisions are now backed by data, and our planning accuracy has improved significantly."
Long-Term Partnership Award: P&G and AstraZeneca
P&G, with operations in approximately 70 countries, joins global biopharma leader AstraZeneca in accepting the award for proving that value compounds the longer the partnership runs.
P&G celebrates 27 years of partnership with OMP dating back to 1999, and operates a planning network spanning more than 100 manufacturing sites and 200 distribution centers. The company has consolidated overlapping planning processes, with the majority of planning now handled touchlessly.
"Receiving OMP's Long-Term Partnership Award reflects years of trust and teamwork between our teams," says Jen Aberilla, Director, Regional Supply Network Operations Planning at P&G. "We're proud of what we've achieved together and look forward to building on it."
AstraZeneca has been working with OMP since 2021, replacing siloed, spreadsheet-based planning with a single capacity-constrained network plan. Most recently, the company has been collaborating with OMP on AI‑driven planning and advanced scenario modeling, allowing planners to focus on scenarios and exceptions. This has resulted in improved supply reliability and service levels, inventory reduction, and productivity savings.
Community Engagement Award: Mars and ITC
ITC's Paperboards & Specialty Papers Division, part of the Indian multi-business enterprise ITC Limited, and Mars, a global giant in confectionery, food products, and pet care services, received the Community Engagement Award for their active role in OMP Community events and councils.
ITC was recognized for its commitment to openly sharing its planning transformation with the wider supply chain community. By presenting its experience to industry peers, ITC has given them a candid look at how its journey unfolds in practice, with lessons other planning teams can apply.
Mars is a committed participant in the OMP Community councils and in governance through the executive board. Working with OMP, Mars has lowered inventory, consolidated its warehouse network, improved factory equipment effectiveness, and increased forecast accuracy.
"The world's most demanding manufacturers plan with OMP, and it is a privilege to see those relationships deepen over 10, 20, and 27 years. The results they achieve through this community are concrete: inventory goes down, forecast accuracy goes up, and decisions happen faster. Congratulations to each of them!" says Philip Vervloesem, Chief Commercial and Markets Officer at OMP.

President John Dramani Mahama has announced that Ghana will formally halt the export of unprocessed mineral resources by 2030, marking a decisive shift towards resource-driven industrialisation, local value addition, and national economic sovereignty.
Delivering the keynote address at the opening of the 2nd Edition of the Mining in Motion Summit in Accra, President Mahama outlined a phased implementation roadmap to ensure the nation’s mineral wealth directly catalyses domestic manufacturing, infrastructure expansion, and job creation.
“We have already imposed a ban on the export of iron scrap and non-ferrous metals. I have set a clear goal that by 2030 raw minerals must no longer leave our shores,” President Mahama declared. “Our bauxites, manganese, iron, lithium, and other minerals must support processes and industrial development here at home.”
President Mahama said the transition is anchored by transparent regulatory timetables, targeted legislation, and clear commodity-specific benchmarks.
He reaffirmed that government policy will pivot from merely extracting raw materials to building complete industrial value chains. Highlighting the integrated aluminium industry as a flagship priority, he stated:
“Every major initiative must have clear responsibilities, measurable milestones, and transparent reporting. In Ghana’s aluminium industry, our objective is to modernise VALCO and develop domestic aluminium refining, directly linking Ghanaian bauxite to smelting and downstream manufactured products.”
Reassuring the international and domestic investor community, President Mahama said local processing obligations will be matched by state commitments to provide competitive operating conditions. The Government is committed to deploying critical infrastructure, fostering technical skill acquisition, and establishing viable financing frameworks.
He observed that legislative action alone cannot build a sustainable sector without a predictable, transparent, and supportive operating environment.
“We must translate these frameworks into coordinated investments, regional infrastructure, and larger markets for African producers. Investors need predictable rules, clear institutional responsibilities, and prompt approvals. Communities need confidence that licence conditions and environmental obligations will be rigorously enforced,” he noted.
On the continental front, President Mahama rallied African leaders to operationalise the African Mining Vision (AMV) by aligning domestic laws and ratifying instruments establishing the African Minerals Development Centre (AMDC) to harmonise mineral governance across borders.
Domestically, the President noted that the industrialisation drive must advance broad-based Ghanaian participation. He urged that local enterprises must be empowered beyond auxiliary services to hold substantial equity, managerial control, and technological capabilities across the value chain—including fabrication, laboratory analytics, software engineering, and equipment maintenance.
The Summit, themed “One Continent. One Voice on Minerals. Aligning Africa’s Mineral Future,” convened policymakers, industry executives, and continental leaders to deliberate on the sustainable governance of Africa’s critical mineral endowments.
It brought together several regional dignitaries and traditional leaders, including the Vice President of the Republic of Liberia, H.E. Jeremiah Kpan Koung, Sr.
