 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.

‎By Nwoye Bridget Uju

‎

‎The people of Nawfia in Njikoka Local Government Area of Anambra State have celebrated the Ikpo Ji Nawfia Cultural Festival, a colourful event that brought together traditional rulers, members of the Igwe’s Cabinet, Ndi Ozo, community leaders and indigenes of Nawfia and Umunri.

‎

‎The festival, held on August 12 was hosted by High Chief Sir Obi Udeogu, Ozonkpu, who welcomed guests and participants to the celebration aimed at promoting the community’s rich cultural heritage, unity and traditional values. The event was graced by the Traditional Ruler of Nawfia, His Royal Majesty, Igwe Dr. Daniel Ogochukwu Obelle, accompanied by his wife, Lady Florence Obelle, members of the Igwe’s Cabinet and various Ndi Ozo.

‎

‎Addressing participants at the festival, Igwe Obelle stressed the need to preserve Nawfia’s cultural heritage and ensure that younger generations understand, appreciate and sustain the traditions handed down by their forefathers. He noted that cultural festivals such as Ikpo Ji provide an avenue for the people to celebrate their identity, foster togetherness and strengthen relationships among families and communities.

‎

‎The Igwe’s wife, Lady Florence Obelle, also urged women and families to remain actively involved in cultural activities and ensure that traditional values are passed on to their children.

‎

‎Similarly, members of the Igwe’s Cabinet and Ndi Ozo, including Mr Kenneth Obi, described the festival as an important platform for promoting peace, unity and the preservation of Nawfia’s cultural heritage. A major highlight of the celebration was the announcement that the sale of Ji Ohú (new yam) had been officially permitted at Afor Market, Nawfia, in line with the community’s cultural practices.

‎

‎The development is expected to enable residents to fully participate in the traditional new-yam season while adhering to established customs and directives of the community. The organisers also announced that the Erim Ji Festival would hold on September 25, as part of activities marking the new-yam season and celebrating the cultural heritage of Nawfia.
