AGP Executive Report

Last update: 11 hours ago

Constituency Funds Probe: SERAP has urged Nigeria’s Senate President Godswill Akpabio and House Speaker Tajudeen Abbas to refer allegations of diversion or non-accounting of over ₦6.3bn in constituency project funds to anti-corruption agencies within seven days, warning of legal action if they fail to act. Power & Business Continuity: TCN says a scheduled upgrade at the Kumbotso 330kV substation will trigger a four-hour outage in Kano, Katsina, Jigawa, Bauchi, Yobe and also Gazaoua in Niger Republic, affecting electricity distribution and supply. Sahel Security & Diplomacy: Burkina Faso has severed diplomatic ties with France, accusing Paris of neo-colonial ambitions and backing destabilising armed groups—deepening the Sahel’s shift toward the AES bloc. AES Coordination: The Alliance of Sahel States (Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger) held talks in Ouagadougou to align security, economic integration and a unified diplomatic position ahead of ECOWAS engagement. Wrongful Detention & Reintegration: Nigeria’s DSS released Kaduna farmer Nura Idris after clearing him of Boko Haram links, paying N3m compensation and pledging support to restart his livestock business. Humanitarian Funding: UN OCHA reports Nigeria received at least $247.3m in 2026 humanitarian funding so far, with coverage rising to 47% by late June. Carbon Pricing Reality Check: A new study challenges the assumption that carbon costs hit the poorest hardest, finding within-income differences can outweigh income gaps.
