AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 hours ago

Ebola Panic at Airports: An Air France flight bound for Detroit was diverted to Montreal after U.S. entry rules flagged a passenger from the DRC who “should not have boarded,” as officials step up Ebola screening and quarantine enforcement. Public Health Emergency: WHO says the Bundibugyo Ebola outbreak in DR Congo and Uganda is spreading fast, with 139 deaths and nearly 600 suspected cases, and warns vaccines may take months. Drug War Escalates: Nigeria’s NDLEA says it has uncovered its “largest-ever” industrial meth lab in Ogun, seizing drugs and precursors worth about $362m and arresting suspects including Mexicans—days after South Africa’s drug bust. East Africa Refinery Race: Kenya’s $17bn refinery plan for Tanzania’s Tanga reignites regional friction over who was told what, and why. Dangote IPO Watch: Dangote says an IPO could come in September as investor demand runs into “billions,” with Femi Otedola selling a power stake to reinvest. Security on the Ground: Boko Haram killed 33 fishermen and loggers in Borno in two attacks, underscoring how conflict keeps disrupting livelihoods. Sports: Ghana’s Black Starlets face Uganda’s Cubs in a U17 World Cup play-off after group-stage drama in Morocco.
