 Kenya hikes fuel prices by 6% following lingering Middle East tensions Kenya raised the maximum retail prices of petrol and diesel on Wednesday, the energy regulator said, citing higher import costs linked to the conflict in the Middle East. The east African nation hiked petrol prices by 6% and diesel prices by 4.5% as it relies on the Middle East region for nearly all of its fuel supplies. A litre of diesel will cost 227.76 Kenyan shillings ($1.76) in the capital city of Nairobi, from 217.86 shillings, while kerosene will rise to 219.87 shillings from 191.38 shillings between October 15 and November 14, when new prices will be announced, TRT Afrika reported. The energy regulator said the government extended a reduction in value-added tax on fuel to 8% from 16% until January 14. Fuel prices affect multiple sectors including transport, agriculture and construction.

 CYON Jos Archdiocese Expresses Concern Over Inappropriate Conduct During University of Jos FYB week celebration. 


The Catholic Youth Organization of Nigeria (CYON), Jos Archdiocese, expresses its deep concern and dissatisfaction over the inappropriate conduct displayed by some graduating students of the University of Jos during their FYB week celebrations, as seen in recent photographs circulating on social media.


Graduation is a significant milestone that marks years of hard work, discipline, and academic excellence. It is an occasion that deserves to be celebrated with dignity, decency, and respect for the values that educational institutions and society seek to uphold.


The images circulating online depict actions that many faithful and members of the public have found inconsistent with the respect traditionally accorded to religious attire and symbols. While individuals have the freedom to celebrate their achievements, such celebrations should not diminish the sacredness of religious vocations or portray conduct that could be interpreted as disrespectful to the priesthood or the Catholic faith.


As the Catholic Church Youth Organization committed to the moral, spiritual, and social formation of young people, CYON Jos Archdiocese calls on all Catholic Youths and students to remember that our actions, especially in public spaces and on social media, have lasting consequences. Every Christian is called to be an ambassador of Christ through modesty, respect, and responsible behaviour.


We also encourage graduating students across all institutions to celebrate their academic success in ways that inspire younger generations and reflect the values of integrity, humility, and mutual respect.


At the same time, we urge members of the public to refrain from online harassment, hate speech, or personal attacks against those involved. Correction should always be guided by charity, dialogue, and the Christian spirit of forgiveness and reconciliation.


CYON Jos Archdiocese remains committed to promoting values that uphold human dignity, respect for religious institutions, and responsible Youth engagement. We pray that this incident serves as an opportunity for reflection and renewed commitment to the moral values that strengthen our Faith, families, communities, and nation.


May God continue to bless our Christian Youths with wisdom, humility, and a deep appreciation for the sacredness of our faith and the dignity of every human person.
