Federal Government of Nigeria commits to stabilising Jet A1 supply, prices
Federal Government has said it is committed to focusing on promoting dialogue between government, oil marketers and airline operators to create a fair and transparent fuel supply chain that supports both economic sustainability and operational excellence.
Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Mr Festus Keyamo, said this while pledging commitment to policies and partnerships that would ensure the availability, accessibility and affordability of aviation fuel.
Keyamo, represented by Director of Public Affairs and Consumer Protection, Mr Henry Agbebire, spoke at the Gateway Colloquium organised by CITA, in partnership with the League of Airports and Aviation Correspondence, LAAC, themed: ‘Aviation Fuel Business: The Scenario and the Metaphor,’ held in Lagos.
Speaking at the event, the minister said: “The theme of today’s colloquium is not just clever, it is timely and thought-provoking, touching on one of the most critical determinants of efficiency, affordability and sustainability in our aviation ecosystem.
“Aviation fuel sits at the very heart of airline operations. It does not only represent a key cost driver for airlines but also a strategic index of national logistics and economic vitality. The scenario reminds us of the present realities: fluctuating prices, supply vulnerabilities, and infrastructural challenges; while the metaphor calls us to look beyond the surface: to envision a new energy paradigm that supports growth, innovation and environmental responsibility in Nigeria’s aviation sector.
“As a ministry, we remain committed to policies and partnerships that will ensure the availability, accessibility and affordability of aviation fuel. We are equally focused on promoting dialogue between government, oil marketers and airline operators to create a fair and transparent fuel supply chain that supports both economic sustainability and operational excellence.
“This conversation today is more than an analysis of challenges; it’s an opportunity to shape solutions. I encourage all participants to speak freely, think boldly, and help chart a course that will make Nigerian aviation stronger and more sustainable.”
The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has announced Morocco as winners of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
The CAF Appeal Board ruled in favour of Morocco, declaring that Senegal forfeited the AFCON final by walking off the field during the game.
Morocco were awarded a 3–0 walkover victory.
This decision upholds Morocco’s appeal following the chaotic events in the match.
DAILY POST recalls that the Senegal team briefly walked off the pitch in protest after a controversial penalty was awarded to Morocco late in regulation time.
They were called back to the field by their captain, Sadio Mané, and later won the game 1–0.
CAF determined that this action constituted a violation of Article 84, or the equivalent regulations concerning refusal to play or abandoning the field.
Under AFCON rules, a team that refuses to continue playing or leaves the field without authorization faces elimination and forfeiture of the match.
A total of three operatives of different security agencies in Anambra State collapsed during the inauguration of Anambra State Governor, Prof Chukwuma Soludo, on Tuesday.
The incident happened during the parade at the Dr Alex Ekwueme Square in Awka.
The three operatives are one male police operative, another male operative of the Directorate of State Services (DSS) and a female operative of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC.
The police operative collapsed first, followed by the NSCDC operative, who slumped towards the end of the event and was later escorted to an ambulance, after she refused to be moved in a stretcher.
A source said the police operative was later resuscitated, but was still not stable, and was taken in an ambulance to Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University Teaching Hospital, Amaku Awka.
The collapse of the service officers was attributed to fatigue and the long period of parade under harsh sunny weather.
