  Iran war may push Nigerians to work from home – Dangote President of the Dangote Group, Aliko Dangote, has cautioned that the escalating tensions in the Middle East could push Nigeria and other African nations toward adopting pandemic-style work-from-home policies if the situation worsens. Dangote issued the warning on Monday after a meeting with President Bola Tinubu at the latter’s residence in Ikoyi, Lagos. He voiced strong concerns about the ripple effects of fluctuating global oil prices on African economies already weighed down by debt. The industrialist stated, “If this thing doesn’t de-escalate, you know, normally we in Africa, we don’t have any reserves in terms of savings. “And so, people normally go out and look for money for the next day or for even the same day. Some of them, if they don’t work that day, they won’t eat.” Visit:  https://www.vanguardngr.com/2026/03/iran-war-may-push-nigerians-to-work-from-home-dangote/  to read more.  Source: Vanguard ...

  Nigerians’ Woes Deepen As Petrol Hits N1,400/L T he steady rise in the pump price of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), commonly known as petrol, has intensified economic hardship across Nigeria, with prices climbing to nearly N1,400 per litre in several parts of the country, triggering widespread anxiety among transporters, commuters, and businesses. Findings across major cities indicated that the latest surge, driven largely by rise in the price of crude oil, is shrinking incomes, inflating transport fares, and worsening the cost-of-living crisis for millions of Nigerians. With the price of crude oil hitting almost $120 per barrel last week before settling at $112 over the weekend as the Middle East crisis rages, Dangote also adjusted its gantry price from N1,175 to N1,245 per litre.  Visit:  https://dailytrust.com/nigerians-woes-deepen-as-petrol-hits-n1400-l/  to read more.  Source: DailyTrust  

  Tinubu’s Ally To Handle N1.4trn Lagos Ports Project I ndications have emerged that ITB Nigeria, a construction firm owned by a Lebanese-Nigerian businessman and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s longtime associate, Gilbert Chagoury, will execute the renovation contract of Lagos Tin Can and Apapa Ports. Tinubu had, in January, conferred the Grand Commander of the Order of the Niger (GCON), Nigeria’s second highest honour, on Chagoury “because of his contributions to the country.” Last week, Nigeria and the United Kingdom during a meeting between Prime Minister Keir Starmer and President Tinubu at Downing Street in London, sealed a £746 million export finance deal to support the refurbishment of the two major ports in Lagos.

  Fresh fears of higher petrol price as crude hits $114 per barrel There are fresh fears in the country of higher petrol price as crude hit $114 per barrel, yesterday, following dangerous escalation in the United State and Israel war on Iran. Already, petrol is sold for between N1200 and N1400 per litre in parts of the country. The Middle East conflict escalated on Wednesday following Israeli strikes on Iran’s South Pars gas field, the world’s largest natural gas deposit, prompting Iranian retaliatory attacks on energy facilities in Qatar and Saudi Arabia, a development that is viewed as a major escalation in the war. Following the attacks, the US President, Donald Trump, threatened to ‘entirely’ blow up the South Pars if the country continues to attack energy facilities in Qatar. Consequently, energy prices soared, rising from $66 pb to $114pb by as much as five per cent across markets.   Visit :  https://www.vanguardngr.com/2026/03/fresh-fears-of-higher-petrol-pric...
