AGP Executive Report

Last update: 12 hours ago

Flood Crisis in Kwara: Heavy rains have submerged the already-collapsed Moro Bridge, leaving commuters stranded on the Ilorin–Igbeti highway as vehicles were trapped and people climbed onto roofs while waiting for rescue. Security Moves: Nigeria’s army chief says troops have been deployed to Benin Republic to help combat terrorism and transnational crime, with emphasis on intelligence sharing and regional cooperation. Prison Transport Disrupted: The same flooding has also stopped Nigerian Correctional Service inmates from reaching court in Ilorin, worsening access for workers and residents around the Moro Bridge axis. Edo Hajj Push: Edo State is sending 95 pilgrims to Saudi Arabia, with Governor Okpebholo urging them to represent the state with dignity. Market Watch (Benin City): Palm oil prices have dipped to about ₦1,200–₦1,300 per litre, but traders warn it’s “fragile relief” with instability still driving costs. Sports: Bendel Insurance begin the President Federation Cup campaign May 19 against Katsina United Junior, while Warri Wolves target a better run after last year’s early exit.
