AGP Executive Report
Last update: 5 hours agoAviation & Connectivity: A new Atlantic Council report says Africa has 18% of the world’s population but only 2% of global air traffic, blaming high costs and inconvenient travel for weak intra-African connectivity. It notes fewer than 20% of African airline traffic runs on intra-African routes versus about 60% within Europe, with examples of expensive, long trips between African capitals. Energy & Exploration: Petrobras says Ghana has approved it to negotiate exploration contracts for four offshore blocks in the Keta basin, a step aimed at reviving activity after crude output fell to 37.3 million barrels in 2025; the move doesn’t commit money or drilling yet. Local Tech Angle (Oil & Gas): Petrobras also operates in São Tomé and Príncipe, holding interests in four exploration blocks—three operated by Shell—keeping regional offshore exploration in focus for local science and engineering communities. Economy & Poverty Context: A GDP-PPP ranking by Global Finance places Nigeria among the world’s poorest (56th of 60), underscoring how affordability pressures can ripple into areas like travel, logistics, and access to services.
