AGP Executive Report

Last update: 7 hours ago

Drug Crisis & Justice: Liberia’s drug emergency narrative is getting sharper as the government names 10 persons of interest in the US$19.2m, 237.6kg cocaine probe tied to Roberts International Airport, with investigators tracing the shipment through multiple cargo-handling stages and looking at possible links to a wider network. Mining Governance: The Senate moves to strengthen extractives oversight by sending a bill to amend the New Minerals and Mining Law, aiming to tighten mineral rights, licensing, MDAs, royalties, and concession obligations. Electricity Expansion: In Buchanan, the LERC holds public hearings on LEC’s bid to extend electricity services after 36 years, while Liberia also cuts imports from Côte d’Ivoire and Guinea after Mount Coffee hydropower capacity returns and a new solar facility adds generation. Water & Urban Services: LWSC and the World Bank review progress on the Liberia Urban Water Supply Project ahead of its 2026 closure, focusing on civil works, meters, safeguards, and delivery timelines. Maritime Security & Fisheries Transparency: The EU hands over RHIBs to the Liberia Coast Guard to boost coastal patrol readiness, while EJF launches fisheries transparency training for CSOs and journalists to tackle IUU fishing. Industry & Jobs: ArcelorMittal Liberia transitions 83 process operator trainees into short-term employee contracts to support its expansion, and the Liberia Chamber of Commerce backs the Dugbe Gold Project as a major local-content opportunity. Skills & Agriculture: Government reopens the Tumutu Vocational Institute to expand practical training for youth, and the clean cooking push gets a World Bank-led validation workshop to guide investment and policy.
