Marketers Petition Tinubu Over Plummeting Diesel Prices, Senate Delays Sabotage Hearing
Devakumar Edwin, Vice President of Dangote Industries Limited, revealed that petroleum marketers in Nigeria have raised concerns over the pricing of locally refined diesel.
These marketers have formally approached President Bola Tinubu, expressing dissatisfaction with the current price trends.
According to Edwin, diesel prices have seen a significant reduction, dropping from N1,200 per litre to N900 per litre, and this has had an adverse effect on the marketers’ businesses.
He shared these insights during a Twitter Space session hosted by Nairametrics on Thursday.
During the session, Edwin explained that the marketers are worried about the declining prices, which, in their view, threaten their business profitability.
They believe the situation could impact the overall dynamics of the oil and gas industry if not addressed promptly.
Additionally, the Senate recently announced a delay in the public hearing concerning alleged sabotage in Nigeria’s petroleum sector.
This development was confirmed by Senator Opeyemi Bamidele, the Leader of the Senate and Chairman of the Senate Ad-hoc Committee, who stated that the hearing would be postponed.
The issue of sabotage has been a topic of concern, and stakeholders hope the eventual hearing will shed light on the underlying issues affecting the industry.
It has been reported that the Ebola virus is rising again and there have been some cases. This has caused fear in many, with talks of different viruses spreading.
Amid this concern, the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) reassured the people that no trace of Ebola has been confirmed in the country, despite the outbreak in Africa.
FAAN shared that they have been on the lookout for travellers who may have symptoms, and so far there is none.
It has been reported that the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), has finally released the withheld results of 279 students.
It can be recalled that some results were held due to investigations of cheating. Some results proved to have traces of malpractice and were cancelled, but the ones without traces have been released and the students can finally move on.
JAMB also shared additional advice for students that might have not seen theirs: “Candidates whose results have not yet been released are advised to check their status by sending UTMERESULT to 55019 or 66019 using the same phone number used for registration to view their released results.”
It was reported that former Nigerian president Goodluck Jonathan has allegedly purchased a presidential candidate form for the 2027 elections.
It can be noted that Jonathan served as Nigeria’s president from 2010 to 2015.
This information was revealed by Sani Useni, a special assistant who made the claim. Many reacted to the news, with some expressing interest in seeing Jonathan return to power after staying relatively quiet politically since his administration ended.
However, Jonathan has not yet addressed the public or officially shared any presidential ambition.
