AGP Executive Report

Last update: 6 hours ago

Voter Confidence Under Pressure in Niger State: Niger State’s Continuous Voter Registration drive is struggling to convert eligible residents into Permanent Voters’ Cards, with low turnout blamed on rising costs, long waits, online glitches, card delays, and deep public skepticism that votes will count. ECOWAS Trade Fix: ECOWAS has resolved the dispute over detained Nigerian onion trucks in Ghana, allowing offloading at Kotoku Market, but the Regional Observatory of Onion warns the episode shows why lasting regional trade rules are still needed. Niger’s Post-Coup Reality Check: Three years after Niger’s 2023 military takeover, security has worsened, especially in Tillabery where jihadist attacks have driven mass displacement and closed schools, raising humanitarian and economic risks. Senate Oversight Push: Nigeria’s Senate threatens sanctions for MDAs/GOEs that ignore legislative summons, while the House also moves against the Nigeria Revenue Service over recruitment defiance—an issue that can affect public finance and business confidence. Migration Costs for Niger: New figures show 1,429 Nigerians repatriated from Niger Republic in May 2026, highlighting continued stranded migrants along the Sahel corridor. Regional Security Spending: Nigeria’s governors and security experts broadly back the expansion of the army into more divisions, urging stronger intelligence and equipment. ECOWAS Single Currency Plan: ECOWAS reaffirmed plans to roll out the ECO in phases by 2027, with key unresolved issues around the central bank and countries still using the CFA franc. Niger State Development Agenda: Governor Mohammed Umaru Bago presses for 13% derivation tied to dam-related flooding impacts and asks the North Central Development Commission to prioritize insecurity, farmer-herder clashes, and climate adaptation.
