AGP Executive Report

Last update: 6 hours ago

Power & Grid Expansion: TCN has handed Mainstream Energy Solutions site access to build two 330kV evacuation bays at the Kainji Transmission Substation in Niger State, aimed at evacuating power from new 110MW turbines (220MW total), with completion targeted for December. Regional Energy Trade: Algeria has started work on the Trans-Saharan Gas Pipeline, expected to move up to 30 billion m³ of gas annually from Nigeria through Niger into Algeria for European supply. Electricity Regulation: Nigeria’s electricity regulators rejected a proposed 2026 amendment bill, warning it could disrupt sector decentralisation and threaten about $1bn investment. Fuel & Cost Pressure: Nigeria’s household kerosene price jumped 22.49% year-on-year in April 2026, with Sokoto, Kebbi and Lagos among the highest-priced states. Security & Human Capital: Calls for urgent Safe Schools reforms follow reports of 2,000+ student and teacher abductions; meanwhile, nearly 50 people died of thirst in Niger’s Sahara after a truck broke down. Governance & Institutions: The Supreme Court cleared the Providus–Unity bank merger, boosting confidence in Nigeria’s banking consolidation drive. Humanitarian Reach (Niger): Qatar Red Crescent’s Eid al-Adha campaign hit 247,344 beneficiaries across 13 countries including Niger.
