Iran’s Hormuz Reclosure Disrupts Anticipated Petrol Price Drop in Nigeria

Hopes for a sharp decline in petrol prices in Nigeria have been dampened following Iran’s decision to shut the Strait of Hormuz once again—a vital global oil shipping corridor.The waterway had briefly reopened on Friday after a ceasefire between Iran and the United States, but was closed again within 24 hours. Iranian authorities cited the continued blockade of its ports by the US as the reason for the renewed action.On Saturday, Iran’s military confirmed that the strait had “returned to its previous state,” effectively restricting movement through the channel.

PDP Schedules First NEC Meeting at Wadata Plaza

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is set to convene its first National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting at its national headquarters, Wadata Plaza, following the recent reopening of the secretariat by the police.The party’s office had been shut since November last year after a violent clash between factions loyal to Tanimu Turaki and those backing Abdulrahman Mohammed, both claiming leadership of the party.Tensions escalated further in March when the Court of Appeal nullified the Ibadan convention that produced the Turaki-led leadership. Leveraging that judgment, the Mohammed faction—reportedly supported by Nyesom Wike—went on to organise a parallel convention in Abuja.Monday’s NEC meeting is expected to be attended largely by members aligned with the Mohammed-led camp.
