 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.

The Lagos State Health District IV recently held a send-off ceremony to celebrate Mrs. Betty Allen Albert-Obateye, the former Environmental Health Director at the District, who retired from the Lagos State public service after 35 years of meritorious service.


Speaking at the event held recently at the Lagos Island East LCDA hall, ZAPPASS, Lagos, the Permanent Secretary, Lagos State Health District IV, Dr. Abimbola Bowale said Mrs. Albert Obateye is a dedicated officer and environmental advocate who has ensured environmental cleanliness across the health district.

In her response, Mrs. Betty Albert-Obateye appreciated every guest who graced her pens-down and pull-out parade. She advised Environmental Health Officers to remain steadfast, honest and faithful in their duties, emphasising that public service is about serving the people rather than personal gain. 


Furthermore, Mrs. Albert-Obateye encouraged officers to carry out their responsibilities with love, compassion and integrity, treating everyone equally regardless of their social or economic status.
