Fuel Prices Drop in Abia to N1,150-N1,200 Following NNPC Direct Supply

Fuel prices in Abia have dropped from N1,300-N1,350 per liter to between N1,150 and N1,200. This decrease follows the Nigeria National Petroleum Company’s (NNPC) decision to allow direct requests and payments for fuel from members of the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN). Marketers in Aba and Umuahia have begun sourcing fuel directly from the NNPC, contributing to the lower prices.
Mazi Oliver Okolo, Executive Chairman of IPMAN’s Aba branch, explained that improved supply from the NNPC is driving the price reduction. He noted that since the NNPC opened its portal for requests last Saturday, he expects further price drops once supplies begin next week. Okolo emphasized that direct supply from the NNPC and the operational status of local depots in Aba are crucial for sustaining low fuel prices.
He believes that if NNPC, the state government, and the federal government collaborate to ensure fuel availability at the Aba depot, prices could fall to around N900 or below N1,000 per liter. Okolo acknowledged the challenges faced by marketers due to high sourcing costs from third parties and thanked Governor Alex Otti for starting the rehabilitation of the Osisioma-NNPC-Ekeakpara road, a federal road that will aid in improving fuel distribution.

Trump Says He’s Buying a Tesla to Show Support for Elon Musk and His Company

President Donald Trump has announced plans to purchase a new Tesla vehicle to demonstrate his support for Elon Musk amid recent boycotts and a significant drop in Tesla’s stock value.
On his Truth Social platform, Trump praised Musk’s contributions to the nation and criticized efforts to harm the entrepreneur and his company. He stated, “I’m going to buy a brand new Tesla tomorrow morning as a show of confidence and support for Elon Musk, a truly great American.”
In response, Musk expressed gratitude to the president on his social media platform, X. Musk currently leads the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) under the Trump administration, focusing on reducing federal spending and workforce.
This initiative has caused protests and boycotts targeting Tesla, with incidents of vandalism reported at dealerships and charging stations.
Tesla’s market value has declined sharply, with shares dropping over 15% recently, influenced by Musk’s political involvement and its impact on consumer sentiment. Despite these challenges, Trump continues to voice strong support for Musk’s efforts to “Make America Great Again.”
