@fkeyamo Hon Minister Sir, I agree with you that airlines should pay for poorly cancelling flights. How do you move a flight of 10am to 6pm. @AirPeace70576. Who pays for the inconvenience and cab costs when communication happens 30 minutes to the flight time? .
OFFICIAL STATEMENT ON THE REDUCTION IN EX-DEPOT PRICE OF PMS BY N65
Dangote Petroleum Refinery has announced a reduction in the ex-depot (gantry) price of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), commonly referred to as petrol, by N65.00, from N890 to N825 per litre, effective from 27th February 2025.
This strategic price adjustment is designed to provide essential relief to Nigerians in anticipation of the upcoming Ramadan season, while also supporting President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's economic recovery policy by alleviating the financial burden on the Nigerian populace.
It is important to note that Dangote Petroleum Refinery has consistently lowered the prices of petrol and other refined petroleum products to the benefit of Nigerians. This marks the second price reduction of PMS in February 2025, following a previous decrease of N60.00 earlier in the month.
Additionally, in December 2024, during the yuletide period, the refinery reduced the price of PMS by N70.50, from N970 to N899.50 per litre, as part of its commitment to easing the cost of living and providing relief to Nigerians during the holiday season. This reduction has positively impacted the overall cost of living, benefiting various sectors of the economy, and has also ensured that Nigerians did not experience the perennial fuel scarcity and price hikes typically associated with the yuletide season.
Nigerians will be able to purchase the high-quality Dangote petrol at the following prices in all our partners' retail outlets. For MRS Holdings stations, it will sell for N860 per litre in Lagos, N870 per litre in the South-West, N880 per litre in the North, and N890 per litre in the South-South and South-East respectively.
The same product will also be available at the following prices in AP (Ardova Petroleum) and Heyden stations: N865 per litre in Lagos, N875 per litre in the South-West, N885 per litre in the North, and N895 per litre in the South-South and South-East.
Dangote Petroleum Refinery assures the public of a consistent supply of petroleum products, with sufficient reserves to meet domestic demand, as well as a surplus for export to enhance the country's foreign exchange earnings. The company calls on marketers to support this initiative, ensuring that Nigerians remain the primary beneficiaries of this effort. This collective action will contribute to the broader economic recovery plan led by His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, who is committed to making Nigeria self-sufficient in refined petroleum products and establishing the country as a leading oil export hub.

The Police must ensure their men who go about with VIPs are fully kitted with their service numbers and names for identification. They remove their tags to misbehave . They act without any respect for citizens or rights except for the assumed 'special citizen' @PoliceNG
I think certain things need to be thought of beyond political lines and interest . Even the PRESIDENT knows how tough things are in Nigeria today. To dismiss this reality on the basis of interest is a disservice to the greater number of Nigerians.
Sponsors of protest in diaspora on the watch list: NIS boss
Sponsors of the so-called #EndBadGovernance protest based in the diaspora are on a watch list, Comptroller General of the Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS) Kemi Nandap said.
She said they would be arrested when entering the country.
Nandap made this known on Tuesday in Abuja during a combined news conference by the heads of security agencies and Service Chiefs convened by the Chief of Defence Staff, Gen. Christopher Musa, at the Defence Headquarters.
She said, “We have identified some diaspora sponsors; they are on our watch list.
“We will be notified of any attempt they make to enter the country, and they will be picked up and handed to the appropriate authority.”
The immigration boss said the service had, in response to the protest, deployed more officers to borders, both land and airports, to ensure effective manning of those entry ports.
She said that NIS had also stepped up surveillance to prevent foreign intervention in the country.
The Inspector-General of Police, Mr Kayode Egbetokun, also said that the police had uncovered some sponsors but declined to give further information.
Egbetokun said that some accounts of such individuals had been blocked, adding that “many of them reside abroad”.
Also, the Director General of the Department of State Services, Mr Yusuf Bichi, represented by the service’s spokesman, Mr Peter Afunanya, said the service was monitoring those concerned.
He added that the service also worked with the Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit to identify more people behind the protest's funding.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the defence chief led the service chiefs and heads of all the security, intelligence and paramilitary agencies to brief newsmen on the nationwide protest.
The briefing came a day after President Bola Tinubu met with the security chiefs on the security situation following the violence that broke out during the protests across the country.
