Nigeria’s Petrol Landing Cost Drops to ₦971 per Litre, But Pump Prices Stay High
The landing cost of petrol in Nigeria has fallen to ₦971 per litre in November 2024, down 20.23% from ₦1,219 in August, according to the Major Energies Marketers Association of Nigeria.
This reduction is due to changes in the Naira-to-dollar rate and lower global crude prices, with Brent crude now at $73.63 per barrel and the Naira trading at ₦1,678.87 per dollar.
Despite this decrease, petrol remains costly at the pump, with prices between ₦1,060 and ₦1,200 per litre across various stations.
Ex-depot prices from Dangote Refinery range from ₦960 for petrol transported by ships to ₦990 by trucks.
The Nigeria Labour Congress has raised concerns about consumer affordability, noting that pump prices still exceed expected market rates.
A viral clip has made its way online showing a police officer in Delta State shooting a suspect who had already been restrained.
It can be noted that the suspect was pleading, claiming he had been framed and deceived, and said he would lead them to the right place.
However, while he was pleading, the police officer shot him. The officer later stated that the suspect was armed with a gun.
It was later revealed that the police officer has been arrested, as it is against the law to shoot a restrained suspect.
It was reported by the Kogi State Government that 24 children were abducted from an orphanage home. It was shared that this happened on the 26th of April, Sunday, and gunmen were seen in the area that day.
The information was shared by the Commissioner of Information, Kingsley Fanwo, who shared this sad news and described it as unfortunate.
“We condemn in strong terms the abduction of innocent children from an orphanage, the government is working closely with security operatives to ensure their safe return,”
