I foresee the return of petrol subsidy – Primate Ayodele
Primate Elijah Ayodele has predicted the return of petrol subsidy in Nigeria, warning that the government will be forced to reintroduce it due to rising economic pressure and public dissatisfaction. Speaking at a press briefing in Lagos, the cleric said, “What we are seeing now is temporary relief. I foresee the return of petrol subsidy because the hardship will become unbearable for the people. The government will have no choice.”
His comment comes just as the Dangote refinery announced a slight reduction in its ex-gantry petrol price from N880 to N865 per litre. The move, confirmed by marketers and a pro forma invoice reviewed by reporters, offered a brief reprieve to consumers.

Witnesses told The PUNCH, on Friday, that the fire began around 10:55pm at Block A, No 64, Mayegun Cement Store Market, Araromi, Agodi-Gate in Ibadan and raged for more than three hours before it was extinguished.
It was further learnt that property worth several million naira was destroyed during the inferno.
Investigations further revealed that the incident was a result of electricity surge near combustible materials.
A Non-governmental Organisation, Health of Mother Earth Foundation (HOMEF) and residents of Aiyetoro, a coastal community in Ilaje Local Government Area of Ondo State have called on the Federal government and relevant stakeholders to come to their aid to combat the devastating sea incursion threatening the area.
The community, it was gathered, faces an existential threat from relentless ocean surges that have already claimed nearly 90% of its land.
A programme officer at HOMEF, Stephen Oduware, speaking at the community during a one-day community diagnostic dialogue that brought together coastal and non-coastal community members to assess their environmental challenges and outline actionable steps to protect their heritage.
Oluwadare said, Aiyetoro, once celebrated as the “Happy City” for its communal harmony, now faces near-total collapse due to rising sea levels, worsened by global warming and oil exploration, stressing that the sea incursion has destroyed homes, the cemetery, and even the town’s iconic worship centre, threatening its existence.
