AGP Executive Report
Last update: 6 hours agoVisa-Free Shock in Lomé: Togo has removed visa requirements for all African passport holders for stays up to 30 days, effective 18 May—an immediate fix after a public embarrassment at Biashara Afrika 2026 where Nigerian businessmen were blocked at the airport and forced to use European passports. AfCFTA Momentum: The same Lomé forum kept pushing implementation over promises, with AfCFTA officials and partners backing faster trade rules, competition policy that supports development, and private-sector delivery (including a new AfCFTA partnership with Rendeavour for industrial zones). Local Development & Health: Togo is also testing an integrated child nutrition and early childhood system in Vo, while 13 municipalities validate Local Urban Development Plans to reduce land disputes and guide growth. Regional Connectivity: Aviation chiefs say better air links are essential for AfCFTA to work in practice.
