AGP Executive Report

Last update: 4 hours ago

Sahel Humanitarian Shock: At least 49 Nigeriens died of thirst after a truck broke down in the Sahara near Assamaka, with only two survivors trekking to alert rescuers; bodies were later found around the vehicle and buried in mass graves, underscoring the deadly risks on desert routes. Regional Energy Deal: Algeria, Niger and Nigeria have started a new phase of the Trans-Saharan Gas Pipeline, aiming to move 20–30 bcm of gas annually to Europe via Algeria—while Niger’s next segment is expected to begin in early 2027. Niger-Türkiye Security & Trade: Niger’s junta leader Abdourahamane Tchiani met Erdoğan in Ankara, with talks centered on defense training, intelligence cooperation, and possible Turkish investment in Niger’s uranium, gold and oil sectors; Erdoğan also said contractors could supply equipment with payment arranged later. Niger State Finance Clarification: Niger State’s assembly says it did not approve a “$14.4m loan,” clarifying the request was only for a bank guarantee tied to a facility for Niger Foods, with repayment on the company. Power Sector Governance: Niger is among states opposing Nigeria’s Electricity Act Amendment Bill 2026, warning it could reverse devolution and disrupt investment and regulatory progress.
