AGP Executive Report

Last update: 12 hours ago

Security & Terrorism: JNIM/al-Qaeda-linked militants struck Niger’s Diori Hamani International Airport in Niamey, killing 11 soldiers and two civilians in the second major attack on the complex this year, underscoring the site’s strategic role for drones, the AES alliance and uranium storage. Regional Diplomacy: Niger and Benin moved to normalise relations after a June visit by Benin’s president, with joint expert talks focused on reopening the border and tackling security, defence and trade frictions. Energy & Infrastructure: Construction on the Trans-Saharan Gas Pipeline restarted in early June as Algeria–Niger ties thawed, aiming to move Nigerian gas through Niger and Algeria to European markets. Ports & Trade: Ghana’s Port of Keta project advanced after EPA clearance, drawing interest from 42 investors and targeting operationalisation of the port headquarters by January 2027. Business & Finance: Aradel Holdings reported FY2025 pre-tax profit of N835bn (+163.6%) and proposed a final dividend of N23/share, while Niger State pushed power and carbon-market initiatives to unlock investment. Cost of Living: Ginger prices in Maiduguri reportedly hit N600,000 per bag as insecurity disrupts producing areas and raises transport and input costs. Governance & Rights: Niger’s penal code reportedly codified harsher penalties against same-sex relations, amid broader regional tightening of anti-LGBTI laws.
