President Bola Tinubu has tasked Vice President Kashim Shettima with leading a crucial meeting to tackle the ongoing issues in Nigeria’s oil and gas sector, particularly concerning pricing and scarcity.

This directive comes in response to recent challenges faced by the industry, including rising fuel prices and inconsistent availability.

In line with this mandate, Vice President Shettima convened a significant discussion on Thursday at the Presidential Villa.

The meeting brought together key figures, including Heineken Lokpobiri, the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources; Mele Kyari, Group Managing Director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL); and Ugbogu Ukoha, Executive Director of the Nigerian Mainstream, Downstream, and Petroleum Regulatory Authority.

Lokpobiri addressed reporters, confirming that President Tinubu shares concerns about the current state of the energy sector and is fully aware of the hardships Nigerians are enduring.

He emphasized that the President is calling for prompt and effective actions to stabilize fuel supply and pricing.

The Vice President’s efforts are focused on improving the distribution of petroleum products across the country, aiming to resolve the discrepancies where some regions face shortages while others encounter inflated prices.

Lokpobiri assured that measures are being implemented to enhance fuel availability nationwide, with expectations of improved accessibility by the end of the week.

While acknowledging that regional price variations might persist, Lokpobiri highlighted the government’s commitment to making fuel more accessible, which should ultimately contribute to more stable prices.

He clarified that the federal government does not control fuel prices directly, as the sector operates under market regulations.

The administration remains dedicated to resolving these challenges and ensuring a steady supply chain to meet the needs of all Nigerians shortly.

This initiative follows recent adjustments in fuel pump prices, which surged from N617 to N897 per litre.

President Tinubu is currently attending the FOCAC summit in China, focusing on international engagements as part of his official trip.

Pastor William Kumuyi, the General Overseer of Deeper Christian Life Ministry, has opened up about how the death of his wife, Abiodun, in 2009 pushed him into what he describes as a mission of revenge against the devil. Speaking during the Global Workers’ Conference, Kumuyi revealed that he received the heartbreaking news just after preaching at Faith Clinic.

He believes the devil struck while he was away from home. Since then, he said his response has been to take the gospel even further, using his ministry to fight back. In his words, the next chapter of his calling has been all about “revenge.”

Since her passing, Kumuyi has intensified his efforts, traveling across nearly every local government in Nigeria, reaching all African nations, and visiting continents around the world. He remarried in 2010, but says his wife’s death marked a turning point in how far and wide he spreads the gospel.

Two years into his administration, President Tinubu highlights key achievements in Nigeria’s economy and social sectors. He reminds Nigerians of the tough choices made early on, like removing fuel subsidies and fixing foreign exchange policies, to stop the country from slipping into crisis. These bold moves have started to pay off.

Inflation is easing, staple food prices are dropping, and the oil sector is seeing renewed growth with billions invested. The government has improved revenue collection, narrowed the fiscal deficit, and built up reserves to protect Nigeria from shocks.

Tax reforms are helping small businesses and protecting low-income families by cutting VAT on essentials like food and education. The administration is also supporting new industries through targeted incentives and making trade easier and fairer.

On the social front, health services are expanding with thousands of primary health centers being upgraded and new cancer treatment centers opening. Free and subsidized medical care is reaching more Nigerians, while health insurance coverage grows steadily.

The president also points to progress in education, youth empowerment, and infrastructure development as the foundation for long-term growth. Despite challenges, these efforts show that Nigeria is moving in the right direction, building a stronger economy and better future for all its people.
