Pandemonium as Protesting Contractors Are Dispersed by G¥nsh+ts from Minister of Finance’s Aides
There was commotion at the entrance of the Federal Ministry of Finance in Abuja on Monday as protesting local contractors prevented the Minister of State for Finance, Doris Uzoka-Anite, from accessing the ministry complex.
The protesters, operating under the banner of the All Indigenous Contractors Association of Nigeria (AICAN), blocked the ministry’s main gate in protest over outstanding debts allegedly owed to them by the federal government.
Eyewitnesses said the contractors arrived early and barricaded the entrance, insisting that government officials address their demands before normal activities could resume.
The situation escalated when Uzoka-Anite arrived at the premises and security operatives attempted to clear a pathway for her entry. The demonstrators resisted the move, leading to a tense standoff between protesters and security personnel.
During the scuffle, a g¥nsh+t was reportedly heard as security operatives attempted to disperse the crowd, causing panic in the area. It remains unclear if anyone was inj¥red during the incident.
Normal operations at the ministry were temporarily disrupted as security agencies worked to restore order. As of the time of filing this report, officials of the Federal Ministry of Finance had not issued an official statement on the protest or the contractors’ claims.

How does one account for a situation in which a minister's security aide discharges a firearm in the midst of a melee involving protesters? Are there no clear rules and professional guidelines governing the handling and use of arms during public demonstrations?

Nigerians Are Paying the Cheapest Domestic Air Fares in the World - Onyema
A one-hour flight costs over $400 abroad, but in Nigeria, we still have tickets for N125,000, which is less than $60. This is why the mortality rate of airlines in Nigeria is very high; over 80 airlines have come and gone.
Allen Onyema, Chairman & CEO, Air Peace
Our team paid a courtesy visit to Hon. Mojisola Lasbat Meranda, Deputy Speaker, Lagos State House of Assembly to deepen collaboration and expand business opportunities within the state.

BREAKING
Independence Bridge on Lagos Island will reopen to traffic by 3pm tomorrow. Minister of Works, Dave Umahi says work will be done on the bridge overnight. #LagosTraffic#IndependenceBridge
@DangoteGroup This is saddening .. The Fed Gov and NNPC has to do more and avail these local refineries more crude oil supply .Our economy /fx reserves should be reaping the dividends of this $23bn refinery by now , we seems to be mismanaging our luck so far .
TEMPORARY SUSPENSION OF SALES OF PETROLEUM PRODUCTS IN NAIRA
Dear Valued Customers,
We wish to inform you that, Dangote Petroleum Refinery has temporarily halted the sale of petroleum products in Naira. This decision is necessary to avoid a mismatch between our sales proceeds and our crude oil purchase obligations, which are currently denominated in U.S. dollars.
To date, our sales of petroleum products in Naira have exceeded the value of Naira-denominated crude we have received. As a result, we must temporarily adjust our sales currency to align with our crude procurement currency.
Our attention has also been drawn to reports on the internet claiming that we are stopping loading due to an incident of ticketing fraud. This is malicious falsehood. Our systems are robust and we have had no fraud issues.
We remain committed to serving the Nigerian market efficiently and sustainably. As soon as we receive an allocation of Naira-denominated crude cargoes from NNPC, we will promptly resume petroleum product sales in Naira.
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation during this period.
Thank you.
Management
