The Comptroller-General of Customs, Bashir Adeniyi, represented by Deputy Comptroller Abubakar Aliyu, has announced a crackdown on smugglers across Nigeria, urging them to find alternative livelihoods. Speaking in Yola, Aliyu highlighted that strategic operations along Nigeria’s borders aim to protect food, energy, and national security, aligning with President Bola Tinubu’s mandates. Operation Whirlwind Zone ‘D’ has achieved significant success, recording 47 seizures with a monetary value of ₦93,029,800.00 within six weeks in Adamawa State. These seizures, made across various flashpoints including Mubi-Sahuda axis and Gurin-Fufore axis, include 64,410 liters of Premium Motor Spirit PMS packed in jerry cans and drums, along with two vehicles used for conveyance. The seizures were made in contravention of sections 150, 248, and 250 of the Nigeria Customs Service Act, 2023. Additionally, a DAF fuel tanker carrying 50,000 liters of PMS was intercepted on April 15, 2026, along the Mubi–Uba road due to product diversion and will be handed over to the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority NMDPRA. Aliyu attributed the high rate of smuggling to the significant price difference of PMS between Nigeria and neighboring countries like Cameroon and Benin Republic, where prices are substantially higher despite Nigeria's own price increases.
A TikTok user, identified as Love, claims she is being sued for ₦50 million by a bread company after posting a video that went viral. The video questioned the unusual freshness of a loaf of bread that reportedly remained edible for two months. Love expressed concern about the bread's longevity, noting it still looked and smelled fresh after weeks. She stated that the lawsuit came as a surprise because she did not mention or identify any specific brand in her original video, insisting her content was based solely on personal observation. She recounted receiving a message from "Bon bread" in her direct messages the day after her video was posted.
Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun, announced that the Olumo Rock Tourist Centre in Abeokuta has seen a significant increase in revenue following its refurbishment. The governor stated that the site, which previously generated approximately N3-4 million annually, now earns about N10 million weekly, totaling N40 million monthly. This improvement comes after the centre was temporarily shut down for renovations to enhance its tourism value and revenue generation. Abiodun highlighted that Olumo Rock has become one of Nigeria's top tourist destinations. The state government had previously reopened the facility with a temporary free-entry policy to encourage visitation and cultural tourism, which led to overcrowding and safety concerns, prompting the end of the free-entry period. The state is now moving to concession the tourist centre to a private operator for improved management and sustained revenue.
The Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority NMDPRA has reassured the public regarding the availability and pricing of aviation fuel, also known as Jet A1. The agency stated that Nigeria possesses a combined national sufficiency of 74 days of aviation fuel, comprising inland and refinery stock, indicating a stable supply. This announcement aims to alleviate anxieties among airline operators and industry stakeholders concerning recent price fluctuations. The NMDPRA clarified that aviation fuel is fully deregulated, with prices determined by market forces. It noted that the current ex-gantry price at the Dangote Petroleum Refinery is N1,879 per litre, which is slightly below the international indicative supply cost of N1,900 per litre in Lagos as of April 16, 2026. A nationwide price survey conducted by the NMDPRA on April 17, 2026, revealed retail prices ranging from N1,960 to N2,800 per litre, depending on location and logistics. The authority dismissed reports suggesting a price of N3,300 per litre as inaccurate and misleading. The NMDPRA affirmed its commitment to monitoring supply and pricing to prevent disruptions or exploitative practices. This reassurance comes amidst threats from airline operators to suspend operations due to rising fuel costs, which they described as "astronomical and artificial." The Federal Government has appealed to domestic airlines to reconsider their plans and any fare increases, with Aviation Minister Festus Keyamo conve
