Meta Restores Trump’s Social Media Accounts After Criticism

Meta has lifted all restrictions on Donald Trump’s Facebook and Instagram accounts, days after Trump criticized Mark Zuckerberg online.
Meta announced the decision on July 12, ahead of Trump’s campaign for the GOP nomination. “We believe the American people should be able to hear from the presidential nominees,” Meta stated.
Trump was banned from these platforms in 2021 after the Capitol insurrection but was reinstated last year with conditions. The full restoration follows Trump’s attack on Zuckerberg on Truth Social.
Meta emphasized that Trump and Biden will be held to the same standards as other users. It remains to be seen if Trump will become more active on these platforms or continue focusing on Truth Social.

IPMAN to Reduce Fuel Prices After Dangote Refinery’s Petrol Price Drop

The Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN) says it will announce a new, lower petrol price on Monday, following the recent price slash by Dangote Refinery. Dangote Refinery had dropped its ex-depot price for petrol from N840 to N820 per litre on Thursday, prompting IPMAN to consider adjusting its rates in response.
Speaking on the development, IPMAN President, Abubakar Maigandi, said the association is aligning with the move and will meet to finalize a fresh price cut for petrol. “Our members will also reduce their prices,” Maigandi said. “We’ll make an official announcement on the new fuel price after our meeting on Monday.”
As of Friday, filling stations across Abuja were selling petrol at varying prices, between N905 and N945 per litre. While NNPC, NIPCO, AA Rano, and Shema outlets were dispensing around N910, Dangote-linked stations like AP and Ardova offered it slightly lower at N905. Others, including Ranoil, Empire Energy, and Total Emadeb, were selling at the higher end, up to N945.
