INTRA-STATE cultural and subregional tensions are building up in Kwara State ahead of the 2027 governorship elections because of credible worries that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s all-too-well-known Yoruba nationalist agenda is about to upend the state’s harmony through candidate imposition. First, some background. Like several states in the country, Kwara is a multi-ethnic and multicultural […]

Domestic prices of petrol and diesel are expected to decline following a sharp drop in global crude oil prices triggered by the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.

As of Saturday morning, DAILY POST reports that West Texas Intermediate (WTI) and Brent crude fell by 11 percent and 9 percent to $83.85 and $90.38 per barrel, respectively, down from about $100 per barrel.

The decline comes after Iran announced that the Strait of Hormuz has been fully reopened for vessel passage.

The development has begun to reflect in Nigeria’s downstream petroleum market, where depot marketers have slightly reduced fuel prices.

Petrol prices at depots now range between N1,205 and N1,206 per litre— about N5 to N6 higher than the Dangote Refinery price of N1,200 per litre.
This pricing trend was observed among marketers such as Aiteo, Bono, and NIPCO.

Meanwhile, diesel prices at depots in Lagos, including Menj and Duport, stood at N1,775 per liter.
Market observers say the drop in crude oil prices has triggered panic selling among depot marketers.

Despite this, retail pump prices have remained unchanged as of filing this report, with petrol selling between N1,290 and N1,333 per litre, while diesel ranges from N1,850 to N1,900 per litre.

The President of the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association, Abubakar Maigandi, confirmed the development, noting that further reductions are likely if the downward trend in crude prices persists.

“We expect fuel prices to drop in the coming days if crude oil prices continue to decline,” he told DAILY POST.

Nigeria midfielder, Frank Onyeka is now expected to seal a permanent transfer to Coventry City, DAILY POST reports.

Coventry City confirmed their promotion to the Premier League on Friday night after a hard-earned 1-1 draw with Blackburn Rovers at the Ewood Park.

Onyeka joined the Sky Blues on loan from Brentford in January, with an agreement in place to make the move permanent if Frank Lampard’s side earns promotion to the Premier League.

His arrival sparked an improvement in Coventry’s form, who are making a return to the English top-flight after 25 years.

The 28-year-old has made 11 league appearances for the former FA Cup champions.

Onyeka struggled for regular playing time at Brentford, before making the switch.

He spent last season on loan with Bundesliga club, Augsburg.
