Rising diesel costs cripple fishing as 80 percent of vessels stop work

Rising diesel prices have crippled Nigeria’s fishing industry, leaving more than 80 percent of trawler vessels grounded. A visit to the Ijora Fish Market in Lagos showed a sharp drop in fish supplied by Nigerian trawlers, leading to scarcity and higher prices for consumers. Retired Navy Captain Oladele Robinson, National Executive Secretary of the Fisheries Cooperatives Federation of Nigeria, said both artisanal and industrial operators are badly hit by the soaring cost of fuel. He explained that small scale fishers rely on petrol PMS to power their boats, while industrial trawlers depend entirely on diesel AGO. Many now go to sea and return without enough catch to cover fuel costs, making trips unsustainable. Robinson said this situation is driving up the prices of fish and other seafood across markets. Sources close to the Nigerian Trawlers Owners Association NITOA said diesel […]

Citing Indonesia as an example, he said workers there now go to the office four […]

Zelensky warns of air defence supply risks

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has warned that escalating conflict in the Middle East could jeopardize Ukraine’s access to critical air defence systems. He said the growing military demands in the region may divert both weapons supplies and political attention away from Kyiv’s fight against Russia. In an interview with Corriere della Sera, Zelensky explained that the United States and its Middle Eastern partners may prioritize their own defence needs, particularly advanced systems such as Patriot missiles. He acknowledged the risk that Washington and the European Union could shift focus from Ukraine if the crisis involving Iran expands into a prolonged war. Since Russia’s full-scale invasion in 2022, Ukraine has remained central to Western diplomatic and military support. However, officials in Kyiv now sense a shift in global attention. Heavy use of interceptor missiles by Gulf countries could create shortages in […]
