AGP Executive Report

Last update: 4 hours ago

Benin Power Shift: Romuald Wadagni was sworn in as Benin’s president, promising integrity and continuity after winning April’s vote with 94%—as the country balances growth with a widening wealth gap and insecurity in the north. Nigeria 2027 Politics: Nigeria’s Movement for Credible Elections (MCE) is set to convene a major Abuja summit Monday to push an “action plan” for credible 2027 polls, inviting former leaders including Obasanjo, Jonathan, Atiku and Osinbajo—while ADC primaries heat up with Atiku urging delegates to pick a proven governor, not “political experimentation.” Ebola Alarm: Africa CDC has flagged Kenya among 10 high-risk countries for Ebola spread as the Bundibugyo strain moves across the region; WHO has already declared a global emergency, and India issued travel advisories. South Africa Xenophobia: Ghanaian nationals in Pretoria told officials they feel trapped by xenophobic attacks and legal uncertainty, while South Africa moves to re-vet senior police managers amid corruption probes. Tech & Governance: Nigeria says it’s accelerating sovereign digital infrastructure and AI tools for public service delivery ahead of ICSC 2026.
