Trump issues pardon to former Republican congressman Stephen Buyer after insider trading conviction    President Donald Trump has issued a full pardon to former Republican congressman Stephen Buyer, who served nearly two years in prison after being convicted of insider trading tied to post-congressional consulting work. Buyer was sentenced in 2023 to 22 months in prison for illegal stock trades made while working as a consultant and lobbyist. He was ordered to forfeit more than $350,000 in ill-gotten gains and pay a $10,000 fine.

The surge in activity follows aggressive price cuts, with Dangote slashing its ex-depot price to ₦699 per litre and lowering the minimum lift volume from 2 million litres to just 250,000 litres. These moves have opened direct access to thousands of smaller independent marketers, who now account for a significant portion of the daily loadings.


A new 10-day bank guarantee payment system has further fueled the rush, easing financial burdens and enabling round-the-clock operations to handle the unprecedented volume.


IPMAN, representing over 80% of Nigeria's retail fuel stations, has fully endorsed the shift, with daily loadings previously reported at over 1,000 trucks earlier in December now consistently exceeding 2,000.


Industry sources confirm the dramatic consolidation: as Dangote captures the bulk of petrol distribution, traditional private depots face sharply reduced throughput and shrinking margins.
