Petrol may sell at N750 per liter if subsidy is removed - Stakeholders warn

Stakeholders in the Nigerian oil and gas industry warn that consumers should brace up to pay N750 per litre for petrol as the Federal Government prepares to fully remove subsidy in the coming months.

This information was revealed during an online workshop themed "Deregulation of the Nigerian Downstream Sector: The Day After," with participants including representatives from various industry bodies such as ARDA, NMDPRA, MOMAN, DAPPMAN, IPMAN, NRL, PETROAN, FCCPC, PwC, and CITAC Africa.

During the workshop, stakeholders stressed the importance of the government addressing the challenges facing the sector, while expressing their full support for the planned full deregulation.

The National President of IPMAN, Mr. Chinedu Okoronkwo, warned that the projected pump price of petrol could rise to N750 after the full implementation of subsidy removal, but could drop to around N500 if the government provided foreign exchange for marketers at the official rate.

Okoronkwo also urged the government to allocate expected savings from subsidy removal to the provision of palliatives for the masses and to be aware of public backlash.

Federal Government May Raise Minimum Wage to N200,000, to Take Decision Soon.

By
Image
There are strong indications that the federal government is favourably disposed to raising the minimum wage to as high as N200k per month as demanded by the organised labour in the country. However, state governors are urging for caution while Anambra State governor Charles Soludo has been asked to chair a Technical Working Group (TWG) to resolve the issues and its various dimensions. LEADERSHIP gathered that the matter was discussed at the last month's National Economic Council (NEC) meeting and it was there that the Salaries, Incomes & Wages Commission made a presentation on how the federal government can meet up with the demand of N200,000 per month minimum wage. Sources, who spoke with Empowered News Network, revealed that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is specifically and personally convinced that the demand of the organised labour is not unrealistic pointing to his campaign promises as a proof of his readiness to handle the challenge. Recall that President Tinubu as presiden...

Nnamdi Kanu Will Be Freed But - Reno Omokri Tells Igbos What To Do.

By

Former presidential aide, Reno Omokri, has told Igbos what to do if they want to see their embattled son and leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, freed from detention. In a Twitter post on Wednesday (yesterday ), Omokri said Kanu would regain his freedom if only the Igbos could play their cards right. The socio-political activist admonished the Igbo-speaking region to desist from violence and convert IPOB into a political party. According to him, there is more love for the Ndigbo than hatred. Omokri stressed that the Igbos could turn the Southeast into a paradise if only they could stop the violent activities allegedly perpetrated by the IPOB across the region. Tweeting, Omokri wrote: "Play your cards right, and Nnamdi Kanu will be freed. Renounce violence, as the Irish Republican Army did, and convert IPOB into a political party, the way the IRA became Sinn Féin, and democratically seize control of the Southeast, then turn it into a paradise, and ot...

How Nigeria's Fuel Subsidy Shock Jolted Cameroon's Economy.

By
Image
In Cameroon, the unintended consequences of Nigeria's fuel subsidy withdrawal ripple across the beleaguered Anglophone region. WHAT HAPPENED TO CAMEROON'S REFINERY? On the night of 29 May, 2019, the lone petroleum refinery in Cameroon was struck by a massive explosion that damaged four of its 13 production units. The incident at the 42,000 barrel-per-day SONARA refinery in Limbe, southwest Cameroon, abruptly stopped petroleum refining in Cameroon. To mitigate the effects of the damage, the government immediately accorded the National Oil Refining Company, SONARA, and other licensed agents, the right to import and market refined petroleum products across the country. Wary of inflation, the government subsidised the prices of the various imported fuel products. The price of a litre of petrol was thus fixed at FCFA 630 (approx. $ 1.4) On 1 February, 2023, with the refinery still not restored almost four years after the explosion, the government increased fuel prices. Petrol and di...

A schizophrenic man chopped off his p3nis with a kitchen knife and then flushed it down the toilet. Sharing gory details of the incident in a medical journal, surgeons in India told how the unidentified 52-year-old was left with a stump. The man, who had stopped taking his medication, didn't turn up to hospital until 16 hours after amputating himself. Medics said the man, from Pune, had 'no suicidal intention'. However, he attributed his action 'to voices in his head that told him to cut his p3nis or otherwise face dire consequences'. Writing in the Open Journal of Clinical and Medical Case Reports, doctors at Bharati Vidyapeeth Medical College in Pune said his scrotal skin was dislodged from the root of the penis. Medics rushed the man into surgery to clean his wound. He was given general anaesthetic to knock him out so surgeons could operate on the stump. After seven days in hospital, the man was discharged. Checks 20 days after the operation revealed the 'stu...
