Dangote Refinery Reduces Petrol Price to N825 per Litre

Dangote Petroleum Refinery has lowered the price of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), or petrol, to N825 per litre, down from N835, as competition heats up in Nigeria’s fuel market.

Skype Finally Shuts Down After 22 Years of Connecting People Online

Skype, once a go-to platform for video and voice calls, is officially shutting down today, May 5, marking the end of its 22-year journey connecting people around the globe. The app was one of the first to revolutionize online communication, offering free calls over the internet long before it became common.
During its prime in the mid-2010s, Skype boasted over 300 million active users each month. Microsoft bought Skype in 2011 for a massive $8.5 billion, planning to make it a key part of its communication tools. However, as newer apps like WhatsApp, Zoom, and even Microsoft’s own Teams grew in popularity, Skype slowly lost its place.
In February, Microsoft announced it would officially shut down Skype on May 5 to focus more on Teams, which now handles most of its communication services. This move affects both free and paid users, although Skype for Business will stick around for a little longer.
