September 2025 Archive – Eco News Africa

When browsing the September 2025 archive, a collection of news stories published throughout September 2025 on Eco News Africa, you get a snapshot of the continent’s most talked‑about events. The archive encompasses voter registration, efforts to update electoral rolls and add new voters, sports news, updates on football matches, transfers and tournament results, economic policy, central bank actions, interest rates and fiscal measures shaping African economies and even a labor strike, industrial actions affecting key sectors like oil refining. Those pieces aren’t isolated – the voter roll drive in Kenya, for example, feeds into the political climate that influences both sports funding and economic decisions. Likewise, a central bank rate cut in Nigeria can ripple through corporate hiring, affecting labor negotiations at places like the Dangote refinery. In short, the September 2025 archive ties together stories that shape everyday life across Africa.

What’s Inside the September 2025 Archive?

First up, the IEBC’s massive push to add 6.3 million new voters. The drive uses fresh biometric tech and targets youth, aiming to hit 28.5 million registered voters by 2027. That effort sparked debates about election integrity and the role of technology in democracy. On the sports front, the month was a roller‑coaster: Manchester City’s keeper James Trafford became Britain’s most expensive goalkeeper, Liverpool splashed £130 million on striker Alexander Isak, and Tottenham handed Pep Guardiola’s side a 4‑0 defeat that threatened the Premier League title race. Those transfers aren’t just headline material; they show how clubs balance financial muscle with on‑field ambition, a dynamic that mirrors broader economic trends.

Speaking of economics, the Central Bank of Nigeria finally trimmed its Monetary Policy Rate to 27 %, the first cut in three years. The move signaled confidence that inflation is finally bending down, yet it also raised questions about how lower rates will affect borrowing costs for businesses – including those eyeing expansion or dealing with labor disputes. In the labor arena, PENGASSAN backed NUPENG in a threatened strike over layoffs at the Dangote Refinery, a standoff that could choke fuel supplies and ripple across the continent’s energy markets. Meanwhile, the South African Social Security Agency released September grant payment dates, urging beneficiaries to spread withdrawals and use SASSA cards for safety, a reminder that social policy often walks hand‑in‑hand with economic stability.

All these stories intersect in meaningful ways. For instance, a stable economic policy environment can ease the pressure on workers demanding fair treatment, while a well‑run voter registration system can boost public trust, encouraging smoother implementation of social programs. The archive also includes political flashpoints like the Johannesburg High Court’s ruling on hate speech, a decision that reverberates through South African media and public discourse. As you scroll through the list below, you’ll see how each article fits into the bigger picture – from the pitch to the polling station, from the boardroom to the refinery floor.
