Petrol prices have increased sharply for the third time this year in Nigeria. Rob Young looks at why the oil producing nation continues to hike the cost of fuel and hear what impact it's having on those who drive for a living. We also hear about an innovative project in Kenya that's trying to help improve the health of lorry drivers, who often have an unhealthy lifestyle. And we profile the new chairman of one of India’s largest companies.
