dc.descriptionThe Issue 2860 of West Africa Magazine (week ending 7th April 1972) blends big-picture economics and local colour. Published in London/distributed in Apapa, it asks if UNCTAD can save Africa’s trade woes pre-New Delhi, shines a spotlight on booming Warri (Nigeria’s “oil city), and serves drama via E.Y. Aduamah’s serialized story. Plus: art, cocoa deadlock news, and Ghanaian military reshuffles. Highlights include a skeptical look at UNCTAD’s potential for Africa (Can UNCTAD help…?); a deep dive into Warri’s oil-fuelled transformation (Nigeria: Warri Oil city); and fiction gold with Aduamah’s The season of crisis. Books praises William Fagg’s The Living Arts of Nigeria as a Nigerian treasure trove. Elsewhere: cocoa pact talks hit a wall in Geneva (Commercial news), and Ghana’s Col. Acheampong grabs ultimate military power as C-in-C (Dateline Africa). A heady mix of hope, art, and oil politics.
