AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 hours ago

Benin–Nigeria Diplomacy: Nigeria’s VP Kashim Shettima has arrived in Cotonou to represent President Tinubu at Romuald Wadagni’s inauguration on Sunday, underscoring the long ties between the two neighbours—now also focused on border security, trade and energy cooperation. Kidnapping Crackdown: In Edo, police say they’ve rescued all 13 passengers abducted from a Young Shall Grow Motors bus on the Benin–Lagos expressway, after phased operations using bush-combing, drones and aerial surveillance, including a gun duel that freed more victims. Maritime Push: Nigeria approved certification steps for five deep seaport projects—Badagry, Olokola, Ibom, Bakassi and Bonny—aimed at cutting the country’s heavy cargo losses to Ghana, Togo and Benin. Energy Security: TCN urged Edo and communities to help stop vandalism and encroachment on power transmission lines, warning that repeated attacks keep repairs and supply disruptions going. Sports Business: Rivers State backed free stadium entry for Rivers United’s title-decider match, as the club chases the NPFL crown. Gaming Expansion: ForteBet says it’s expanding in Nigeria with a pitch built on transparency, smoother customer experience and tech-led operations.
