AGP Executive Report

Last update: an hour ago

National Mourning: Antigua and Barbuda marked the passing of Sir Aziz Fares Hadeed with tributes from Governor General Sir Rodney Williams and UWI Five Islands leadership, recalling his decades of public service, philanthropy, and support for education. Cricket Spotlight: Shawnisha Hector was named to the West Indies Women’s 2026 T20 World Cup squad, while ABCA rejected a request for support for the upcoming T20 Premier League, citing late notice—casting uncertainty over tournament funding. Border & Health Security: Immigration and Customs chiefs say regional conference talks strengthened efforts against travel fraud and cross-border crime, as Cabinet tightened Ebola-related entry rules by halting visa waivers for African travelers and requiring full 45-day travel histories; health authorities also continue Ebola monitoring alongside malaria precautions. Football & Community Sports: ABFA’s new leadership is set to confirm Zorol Barthley as General Secretary, and playoff results set up key promotion battles for Green City and English Harbour. Healthcare Updates: Government approved free corneal replacement surgeries via a US partnership and moved to establish a cognitive behavioural centre for autism and neurodivergent support. Tourism Development: Long Bay Zen Resort broke ground, a US$200m project pitching sustainability and “quiet luxury” for Vision 2030 tourism goals.
