Three things from this week worth carrying into the weekend.

The man who's still missing. Saleh Mamman was sentenced to 75 years in prison on Wednesday for stealing ₦33.8 billion meant for Nigeria's hydroelectric power projects. He wasn't in court. He hasn't been seen since his conviction on 7 May. The sentence runs from the date of his arrest. That date has not come. Two courts have now issued warrants. Interpol has been notified. The man who was supposed to fix the lights is somewhere the state cannot find him.

The price of something you didn't think you were buying. Nigeria will spend $11.6 billion servicing its debt in 2026, nearly half of the government's projected revenue for the year. Tinubu said this out loud at the Africa Forward Summit in Nairobi on Tuesday, framing it as a failure of the global financial system. At the same time, the government is advancing a fresh $1.25 billion World Bank loan expected to be approved in June. The case for it is that borrowing now funds reforms that reduce borrowing later. That case has been made before.

Arsenal are in the Champions League final. The final is on 30 May in Budapest against PSG. It's the first time Arsenal have been in the final in 20 years. Their last appearance was the 2006 defeat to Barcelona in Paris. They are also two points clear in the Premier League with three games left, chasing a double no Arsenal side has ever completed. If you're not already thinking about Budapest, you will be by Sunday.
