AGP Executive Report

Last update: an hour ago

Energy & FX: The naira edged down at the official market to about N1,332.90/$ while the parallel rate hovered around N1,357/$, as FX turnover thinned and businesses watched for modest gains. Oil & Market Dynamics: Dangote Refinery stopped selling petrol to major marketers importing fuel, saying some blend its Euro-5 product with lower-quality imports; it now prioritises non-importing independent marketers. Macroeconomy & Investment: Nigeria climbed four places to 8th on Bloomberg’s Investment Risk-O-Meter for 2026, citing improvements in economic strength, fiscal strength and external vulnerability. Capital Markets: NGX closed slightly lower with the All-Share Index down 0.12%, as profit-taking hit several counters, though some insurance and agri stocks gained. Aviation: Nigeria hit a record 1 million domestic seats in October 2026, the first time in 2026, signalling faster airline expansion. Human Capital & Education: About 70% of Nigerian children can’t read simple sentences, deepening the learning crisis; meanwhile, health infrastructure expanded with 10 diagnostic and three cancer centres commissioned across states. Politics & Governance: INEC says the voter register is now above 103m ahead of 2027, while media and INEC push for trust-building as misinformation rises.
