AGP Executive Report

Last update: an hour ago

Desertification in the Sahel: A new report highlights how the Sahara is pushing south, with UN data saying much of the world’s drylands are becoming permanently drier—raising fresh pressure on Niger’s fragile ecosystems and livelihoods. Urban trees as climate strategy: A new Africa-wide book argues cities are turning to trees and green spaces to fight hotter days, biodiversity loss, and inequality, while questioning which projects can last. Niger uranium push: Niger’s military-led government is backing Global Atomic’s Dasa uranium project, as Niamey seeks more mining investment and export links—an energy-security story with major environmental stakes. Oil pollution health crisis (Bayelsa): Toxicological findings in Bayelsa point to higher cancer risk, stunting, and reduced life expectancy tied to decades of crude pollution and gas flaring, with calls for a large cleanup fund and better medical tracking. Niger Delta cleanup and EIA approvals: NDDC says it’s working to close pending EIA certificate processes for 180 projects, aiming to unblock environmental approvals and delivery. Biodegradable sanitary pads (Nigeria): A Niger State teen’s “Pantipads” uses agricultural waste to cut plastic-heavy menstrual waste, reaching the shortlist for the 2026 Earth Prize. Uranium safety in Niger: Orano is set for trial in Paris over alleged failures to protect workers abducted near its Niger uranium mine in 2010. Local climate resilience (flooding): Coverage notes Niger and nearby states are intensifying flood preparations ahead of peak rains. Student field trip rerouted (Kano): Aliko Dangote University cancels a Niger State field trip over insecurity and shifts practical training to Tiga Dam in Kano—keeping learning going while reducing risk.
