AGP Executive Report

Last update: an hour ago

Health Sovereignty: Southern Africa health leaders urged bigger domestic financing and regional cooperation as external funding drops, warning progress stalls without clear responsibilities and timelines. Fuel Subsidy Clash: Nigeria’s 2027 race heats up as Atiku Abubakar promises to restore fuel subsidy via a capped, tracked, independently audited model that shifts support from imports to domestic refining—while Tinubu allies dismiss it as manipulation. Digital Push: The EU pledged €820m to strengthen Nigeria’s digital ecosystem through the National Innovation Hub Standard Framework, aiming to turn ideas into jobs. Banking Governance: UBA appointed Ibrahim Puri as a non-executive director, pending CBN approval, as it prepares its half-year reporting. Trade & Data: ECOWAS workshops in Abidjan focus on harmonising migration statistics and improving macroeconomic data for better regional planning. Blue Economy Gains: Mauritius won UN approval to expand its continental shelf by 145,000 sq km, opening doors for fisheries and seabed resources. Public Safety: Nigeria’s presidential campaigns begin amid economic strain and security worries, with analysts expecting a tight three-way contest.
