AGP Executive Report

Last update: 3 hours ago

Maritime Trade & Competitiveness: Togo’s Port of Lomé has risen into West Africa’s key transshipment hub, driven by deep-water access and sustained port modernization—offering Nigeria a playbook on how policy and investment can turn geography into trade dominance. Anti-Corruption & Public Finance: SERAP has urged Nigeria’s Senate President Godswill Akpabio and House Speaker Tajudeen Abbas to refer allegations of ₦6.3bn constituency project fund diversion to anti-corruption agencies within seven days, demanding contractor and beneficial-owner disclosures and possible prosecutions. Security, Mining & Food Prices: An investigative report claims Nigeria’s insecurity in mineral-rich states is linked to economic interests controlling solid minerals, estimating losses of about $9bn annually from illegal mining and gold smuggling while worsening food inflation. Energy & Business Continuity: TCN scheduled grid maintenance that will trigger temporary power outages in Kano, Katsina, Jigawa, Bauchi and Yobe, with spillover to Gazaoua in Niger Republic—an operational risk for firms. Public Health & Youth: Niger State flagged rising drug abuse, citing manpower gaps at NDLEA and calling for community anti-drug task forces. Governance & Accountability: A DSS review ordered the release of Kaduna farmer Nura Idris, cleared of Boko Haram links, with N3m compensation—highlighting due-process failures and costs.
