AGP Executive Report

Last update: an hour ago

SDG Delivery: Finance Minister Augustine Kpehe Ngafuan told the UN that Liberia’s ARREST Agenda (2025–2029) is driving SDG progress despite donor shrinkage and climate shocks, citing poverty reduction and improved health and education indicators. Mining & Jobs: ArcelorMittal Liberia certified 60 employees in its 3D/4D shop-floor program and says it will scale training to about 1,800 workers, while also running community learning assessments in Grand Bassa. Energy Access: EU-funded Light Up Southeast has begun low-voltage stringing in Buchanan’s Korean Farm Community, moving the electrification project into the distribution phase. Trade Facilitation: The Liberia Revenue Authority launched a new National Time Release Study, saying cargo clearance at Monrovia Freeport averages 12 days, 19 hours, 42 minutes, as it pushes customs modernization. Port & Logistics Security: Monrovia City Court reserved ruling in the US$19.2m cocaine case involving GLS manager Paul King, as prosecutors and defense wrapped arguments; separate charges were also filed against Philip Yeoh Jr. Agriculture Inputs: CHAP Agro became one of the first eight firms certified by Liberia’s new Seed Development and Certification Agency, a step toward reducing reliance on imported seeds. Public Safety Regulation: Alvina Security Services’ CEO urged stronger regulation of Liberia’s private security sector to weed out illegal operators and raise professionalism. Fuel Price Pressure: Petrol import parity costs in Nigeria jumped about 15% in two weeks amid Middle East tensions, with Strait of Hormuz disruption fears affecting near-term pricing. Governance & Accountability: ANC leader Alexander Cummings renewed calls for an independent, transparent probe into the cocaine investigation and accused the government of selective justice.
