AGP Executive Report
Last update: 9 hours agoFlood Risk & Planning: Niger State is still struggling with floods and erosion, with FIJ finding it spent only 6.2% of its N16bn flood-control budget in the first half of 2026, while the Emergency Management Agency received no allocation so far—raising fears for communities already hit by flash floods. Disaster Response Policy: Niger State also plans a “two abode” relocation approach for riverine families, offering upland residences with amenities so women and children can move during rainy seasons. Oil Pollution Accountability: In Nigeria’s Niger Delta, lawmakers and environmental groups renewed pressure over long-running gas seepage in Bille (Rivers) and an oil spill in Odidi (Delta), demanding time-bound fixes to protect health, livelihoods, and the environment. Levy Recovery for Cleanup: The Niger Delta Development Monitoring Group praised EFCC for recovering N83.59bn and $98.07m in unpaid NDDC levies from oil firms—funds meant for community development amid pollution impacts. Agroecology for Resilience: Experts say agroecology is gaining momentum across Africa, but Niger Delta and wider Sahel needs stronger public research, finance, training, and extension systems to scale farmer-led gains.
