AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 hours ago

Flood Disruption: Heavy flooding after the Moro Bridge collapse has left commuters stranded on the Ilorin–Igbeti highway in Kwara State, with vehicles trapped and access still badly affected as diversion works lag. Cybercrime Crackdown (Edo): Edo State security operatives arrested Joshua Oko over alleged fake bank transfer scams targeting Benin City traders, using doctored alerts on his phone to vanish with goods. Regional Mobility (Togo): Togo has removed visa requirements for all African nationals with valid passports for up to 30 days, effective immediately—an abrupt policy shift following a high-profile denial at Lomé’s airport that embarrassed officials at a regional forum. Connectivity Push (US/West Africa): The US Trade and Development Agency plans a feasibility study to deploy about 1,500 mobile base stations across Nigeria, Benin, Ghana and Côte d’Ivoire to expand internet access in underserved areas. Security in the Region: Nigeria’s army says it has deployed troops to Benin Republic to combat terrorism and transnational crime, while school attacks and abductions continue to raise alarm across Nigeria.
