Global IT Disruptions Cause Flight Suspensions and Travel Chaos
Flights at Berlin Brandenburg Airport were suspended on Friday morning due to a “technical problem,” causing delays and cancellations until 10:00 am (0800 GMT), with no clear time for resumption.
This incident coincides with massive IT disturbances reported in several countries.
Australia experienced a large-scale IT outage affecting the national broadcaster, its largest international airport, and a major telecommunications company.
The disruption came as US tech giant Microsoft undertook “mitigation actions” to address service issues. The UK’s largest rail operator also warned of potential train cancellations due to IT problems.
In the US, all flights from major airlines like Delta, United, and American Airlines were grounded on Friday morning due to a communication issue, according to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), impacting flights regardless of their destination.
Nigerian Businessman Dr. Cosmos Maduka analyzes popular Billionaire, Aliko Dangote and describes him as the biggest debtor in Nigeria.
The businessman highlighted the fact that people who seem to have the most money are often the largest debtors.
“The number one debtor in Nigeria is Aliko Dangote. He’s the wealthiest man in Africa. The number one debtor in the world is the United States of America and you call them the richest in the world.”
“As you admire all of those things, it’s all credit. It’s all about credit. So you should leverage on loan, but you have to have a good structure that will support that loan.”
Dangote Petroleum Refinery has once again slashed the pump price of petrol across Nigeria, offering some relief to consumers. The new price now falls between N875 and N905 per litre, reflecting a N15 drop. This update was shared on the refinery’s official social media page on Thursday.
According to Dangote, the price cut affects major fuel distributors working with the refinery, including MRS, Ardova, Heyden, Optima Energy, Techno Oil, and Hyde Energy. With this change, Lagos residents will now buy petrol at N875 per litre. Those in the South-South and South-East regions will pay N905, while the South-West sees a new rate of N885.
In the North-West and central parts of the country, it’s N895, and the North-East will also pay N905. Dangote added that their petrol and diesel are not only high-quality but also designed to support engine efficiency and reduce environmental impact.
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.
This follows last month’s price reduction, when the 650,000 barrels per day refinery dropped the price from N865 to N835. The recent price change is aimed at providing more value to customers while strengthening Dangote’s position as a leader in the domestic market.
