 Dolly Parton returns to public eye to celebrate opening day at Dollywood     Dolly Parton made her first public appearance in months to celebrate the opening day of Dollywood in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, on Friday. The country music icon reflected on the past year, a year after the death of her husband of nearly 60 years, Carl Dean, saying she is “doing good” and has been working to rebuild herself spiritually, emotionally, and physically after grieving and dealing with health issues that kept her from touring.

 Motorists, passengers groan as fuel hits N1,300 in Umuahia, Aba


Petrol stations in Umuahia and Aba, Abia State, have further adjusted the pump price of Premium Motor Spirit, PMS, commonly known as petrol, to N1,250 and N1,300, respectively.


The latest development took effect between Friday evening and Saturday morning, to the frustration of motorists, business owners and passengers.


The commodity was sold at N900 on Monday in the city but was moved up to N1,100 on Tuesday following the N857 official price fixed by the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, NNPCL.


The situation worsened on Friday evening when petrol stations owned by members of the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria, IPMAN, adjusted the pump prices to between N1,200 and N1,250, respectively.


A staff in one of the stations, simply identified as Okechukwu, said that the directive to sell at the new price was “in response to several challenges, like the scarcity of the products from source.”


However, three NNPC outlets visited by MAGIC FM sold between N855 and N897 with long queues of customers.


To remain in business, commercial vehicle operators in the cities have increased transport fares due to the outcry of passengers.


Intra-city tricycle operators who charged 150 naira for short-distance now charge between N200 and N300 in Umuahia and Aba.


Also, business centre owners who rely on petrol for their businesses have jerked up their charges to survive in business.
