AGP Executive Report

Last update: 10 hours ago

East Africa Corridor Push: The World Bank says it will deepen support for Tanzania’s Central Corridor to turn it into a jobs-and-industry economic corridor, backing ports, rail links (including to Burundi) and logistics hubs plus value-add in agriculture, mining and agro-processing. DR Congo Ebola Watch: Africa CDC warns the DRC’s Ebola toll may be far higher than official figures, estimating only 30–40% of infections are being detected as Kinshasa braces for spillover risk along the Congo River transport route. Nigeria Markets: The Nigerian stock market shed about N440bn as profit-taking hit large and mid-cap stocks, with market cap down 0.30% to N154.977tn. Digital Infrastructure Deal: Blue Cloud Softech signed an MoA with GCIB and Afro Mobile to pursue telecom and digital infrastructure projects across Africa, including fibre backbone, 4G/5G, towers, digital public infrastructure and satellite connectivity. Fuel Subsidy Politics: Nigeria’s Presidency and Wike hit Atiku’s pledge to restore petrol subsidy as “retrogressive” and fiscally wasteful, reigniting the 2027 campaign fight over energy costs. Kenya Borrowing Plan: Kenya’s Treasury seeks up to Ksh151.2bn from World Bank windows in 2026/27, tied to reforms on public finance, disclosure and whistleblower protection. Uganda Security Leadership: Museveni hailed retiring UPDF generals for strengthening peace and security, linking it to patriotism and modern military technology. Regional Air Connectivity: Jambojet will resume Nairobi–Entebbe flights from Oct 1, 2026, adding daily passenger service plus cargo and parcels to boost trade and tourism. Creative Economy & IP: The US and Nigeria convened stakeholders in Lagos to strengthen intellectual property protection for Nigeria’s music industry, aiming to unlock investment and jobs. Corporate Custody Shift: Absa takes over as master custodian of South Africa’s GEPF, managing safekeeping and administration of R3.5tn in assets. Ugly Truth on Youth Jobs: Ghana’s youth push is urgent, but skills gaps and costly financing still block young people from turning ideas into businesses and sustainable jobs.
