Navigating Nigeria's Fuel Price Landscape: Government's Assurance Amidst Deregulation Amidst the fluctuating fuel prices in Nigeria, President Bola Tinubu reassured citizens that there would be no further increase in the pump price of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), commonly known as petrol, throughout the country. This announcement follows the ongoing deregulation of the petroleum market, with the government aiming to maintain stable prices by addressing inefficiencies within the midstream and downstream petroleum subsectors. The Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, emphasized that the government's focus would be on rectifying operational inefficiencies rather than reversing the deregulation policy.

Adamu Garba, who is the spokesperson of the FG and arguably the unelected president of Nigeria who often speak on behalf of president Buhari, has taken to social media to mock Igbos with an ‘insider-joke’. Adamu Garba trolled Igbos by suggesting the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, should be renamed Queen Elizabeth II University in honour of the late Queen of England. Despite the sudden debate on social media questioning why Africans are morning the Queen of an Imperialist Empire that exploited them for many generations. To understand the nature of his trolling; Two days ago, a US professor of Igbo heritage Uju Anya wished Her Majesty an “excruciating death” hours before her death was announced.
