    The OPEC Fund for International Development has agreed to lend the Togolese government US $5.625 million to improve a road used by transporters between Cote d’Ivoire, Ghana, Togo, Benin and Nigeria, news organisations reported. The loan will be used to rehabilitate the 53-km road linking Aflao, on the border with Ghana, to Hillacondji, on the border with Benin, according to PANA. The loan, which has an annual interest rate of 1 percent, is to be repaid in 17 years with a grace period of five years, PANA reported.
