AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 hours ago

Sahel Security & Terror Financing: ACLED reports jihadist groups in Burkina Faso, Niger and Mali are increasingly using mines to fund attacks and expand influence, with JNIM linked to 42% of mining-adjacent conflict events (2015–June 2026), raising pressure on the region’s extractives and transport corridors. AFCON Hosting Bid: CAF has opened bidding for AFCON 2028, 2032 and 2036, while it formally accepts a joint declaration of interest from Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger for AFCON 2032—an AES-led push that could bring major tourism and infrastructure spending. Nigerien/Regional Governance & Integration: ECOWAS reaffirmed plans to launch the ECO single currency in 2027, with a phased approach tied to convergence criteria; the big question is which states qualify first and how the departure of Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger affects rollout. Public Oversight & Revenue Scrutiny: Nigeria’s Senate threatens to use constitutional powers against MDAs that skip finance committee hearings, as lawmakers push for accountability over government revenue and remittances. Education & Youth Skills: Nigeria’s Almajiri-to-Tech initiative is set to graduate 21 former street children as tech builders, blending repair skills with entrepreneurship—an employment-focused model with cross-border relevance. Local Economy & Housing: Niger State Governor Umaru Bago unveiled a 500-unit housing estate plan in Kontagora, aiming to unlock urban land value and stimulate local economic activity.
