AGP Executive Report

Last update: 3 hours ago

State Performance Index: Ogun State was ranked Nigeria’s 2nd best-performing state in the 2025 State Performance Index (pSPI), behind Lagos, with Kaduna, Adamawa and Niger following—an endorsement of governance, growth and resident wellbeing under Gov. Dapo Abiodun. Energy & Transport Trade: Nigeria’s NNPC reported April revenue up 79.2% to ₦4.971tn and Profit After Tax rising to ₦481bn, supported by higher crude output; separately, Ghana’s Finance Minister said Takoradi Port will be the main Sahel cargo corridor, with a rail link planned to move goods for landlocked Niger, Mali and Burkina Faso. Fuel Prices: Nigeria’s average petrol price rose 18.97% in April to ₦1,532.93/litre, while diesel jumped 50.16% to ₦2,474.69/litre. Security & Business Disruption: NDLEA seized ketamine and MDMA hidden in water purifier machines shipped from the Netherlands to Lagos, arrested suspects in Kaduna, and recovered skunk and military-grade ammunition; meanwhile, TCN announced a planned blackout affecting Kano, Katsina, Jigawa, parts of Bauchi and Yobe and parts of Niger Republic. AfCFTA Trade Push: The Biashara Afrika 2026 forum in Lomé shifted AfCFTA talk toward practical trade and investment measures. Niger Focus: Niger State also appears in the pSPI ranking and in NDLEA’s Niger raid context, while Niger’s food inflation figure is highlighted as negative in global comparisons.
