Hajj Farewell: Edo Governor Okpebholo will bid intending pilgrims farewell on May 16. Culture on the Global Stage: Cannes spotlights African cinema, and the Venice Biennale signals a shift in European cultural politics. Benin Development Plan: Benin approved its 2026–2035 national development plan, plus China handed SRTB audiovisual archive digitisation tools.
