AGP Executive Report
Last update: 5 hours agoUS Visa Hub Overhaul: The U.S. State Department plans to cut visa-processing embassies and consulates across Africa from nearly 50 to just 20 hubs, expected to start in June—meaning many applicants may need to travel for interviews and biometrics. Togo in the Mix: Lomé is listed as one of the remaining hubs, alongside cities like Lagos, Accra and Nairobi, while non-hub posts will mainly handle limited services for Americans. Travel Cost Warning: Analysts expect higher travel costs and longer journeys for students, tourists and business travellers affected by the switch. Togo EdTech Push: In Lomé, ATD-backed training has helped nine Togolese edtech startups refine products for international markets, with a next stop at eLearning Africa in Accra. Football & Travel Finance: Hearts of Oak SC faces a FIFA threat over unpaid hotel bills in Togo, with Liberty Sports Hotel giving a June 5 deadline. Mobility Investment (Regional): Spiro, operating in Togo among other countries, secured $215m to expand battery-swapping for electric motorcycles across Africa.
