 Petrol Price Nears ₦1,000/Litre as Marketers Plan Imports

The price of petrol is approaching ₦1,000 per litre in major Nigerian cities, prompting petroleum marketers to initiate plans for independent importation to stabilize the market. Marketers have blamed the price surge on supply constraints and production issues at the Dangote Refinery, which led private depot owners to significantly increase their ex-depot prices. This has forced retailers, including the NNPC, to adjust pump prices upwards. The National Publicity Secretary of the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN) confirmed that members of the Depot and Petroleum Products Marketers Association (DAPPMAN) are finalizing arrangements to import petrol. He stated that increased competition from these imports is expected to drive prices down in the coming weeks. Analysts warn that the soaring fuel cost threatens to trigger a fresh wave of price shocks across transportation, food, and manufacturing sectors.

Tinubu’s Reforms Deepening Poverty, Says Peter Obi

Former Anambra State Governor and Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has criticised President Bola Tinubu’s administration, saying its much-publicised economic reforms are failing to lift Nigerians out of poverty. Obi’s comments followed a World Bank report released on October 8, 2025, which revealed that 139 million Nigerians now live below the poverty line—an increase from 87 million in 2023. In a post on X (formerly Twitter) on Tuesday, Obi described the figures as a “heartbreaking reflection” of how poorly the government’s policies have performed. “What this means is that in two years under the watch of the APC regime, over 50 million Nigerians were sent into poverty,” Obi wrote.“This is a heartbreaking reflection of how deeply our nation is failing its citizens.” He expressed concern that instead of treating the report as a wake-up call, the government dismissed it, […]

Tinubu Mourns Former Foreign Affairs Minister Joy Ogwu

President Bola Tinubu has expressed deep sorrow over the death of Ambassador Joy Uche Angela Ogwu, a former Minister of Foreign Affairs and Nigeria’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, who passed away at the age of 79. Ambassador Ogwu, who represented Nigeria at the United Nations from May 2008 to May 2017, was a distinguished diplomat, academic, and global advocate for peace and women’s rights. She also served as Director-General of the Nigerian Institute of International Affairs (NIIA), where she played a key role in shaping Nigeria’s foreign policy and advancing international relations research.

Nigeria Secures $2bn Shell Gas Investment for HI Field

Nigeria has secured a $2 billion gas investment from global energy giant Shell for the development of the HI Field, a shallow offshore non-associated gas project located in OML 144. This was announced in a statement by Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Information and Strategy, on Tuesday in Abuja. According to the Presidency, the project is expected to produce about 350 million standard cubic feet of gas per day (mmscf/d) from 2028. It represents Nigeria’s second major gas investment in 18 months, reflecting growing global confidence in the country’s energy sector under President Tinubu. With this new project, total upstream investment commitments through Final Investment Decisions (FIDs) have now exceeded $8 billion since Tinubu took office in 2023. Welcoming the development, President Tinubu described the investment as a strong endorsement of his administration’s energy reforms.“This major […]

US Genocide Debate Tied to FG’s Failure on Insecurity – Hashim

Former presidential candidate and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain, Dr. Gbenga Hashim, has criticised the federal government for what he described as its “shamefully political and dangerously unserious” handling of Nigeria’s worsening insecurity. In a statement released over the weekend, Hashim accused the government of prioritising propaganda and political maneuvering over genuine efforts to protect citizens from terrorists and bandits. “This government treats the blood of innocent Nigerians like a campaign statistic,” he said. “Instead of confronting terrorists and bandits, they issue empty statements and blame imaginary enemies. Governance is not propaganda.” Hashim alleged that the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) was more focused on gaining political advantage ahead of the 2027 elections than securing the country. “Rather than uniting the nation, the APC is pitching the South against the North,” he added. He linked the recent move by the […]

Nigerian Hospital Performs First UroLift Surgery in Nigeria

Nigeria has achieved a major medical milestone as The Prostate Clinic (TPC) in Lagos successfully performed the country’s first UroLift surgery — a breakthrough that could transform prostate treatment and reduce medical tourism. The historic procedure was led by Professor Kingsley Ekwueme, a Consultant Urological, Laparoscopic, and Robotic Surgeon who returned from the diaspora to establish TPC. The achievement positions Nigeria as a growing destination for advanced prostate care. For years, thousands of Nigerian men have traveled abroad for prostate treatments, costing the nation billions annually. Many patients have suffered or even died due to delayed care and limited access to modern procedures at home. During a live demonstration observed by Vanguard, Prof. Ekwueme and his team carried out the UroLift — a minimally invasive surgery designed to relieve prostate enlargement without cutting or removing tissue. Using a telescope inserted […]
