The Nigerian Communications Commission, working with consultancy KPMG, has begun a comprehensive review of telecom interconnection pricing, the first major reassessment of the sector’s tariff framework in nearly a decade. The exercise, kicked off in Lagos at a mobile termination rate stakeholder forum on Tuesday, brought regulators, operators and industry participants into a structured process to reassess wholesale pricing rules that govern payments between networks for completing voice calls. Mobile Termination Rates are regulated fees paid by one operator to another to complete calls across networks. They influence competition, investment, and retail pricing. The telecom regulator said the current framework, last set in 2018 and adjusted in 2022, has been overtaken by structural changes in the market, including the rollout of 5G, the expansion of data-led services, and the entry of mobile virtual network operators. It also cited macroeconomic pressure, including currency depreciation...

The Nigerian Association of Liquefied Petroleum Gas Marketers (NALPGAM) says retail cooking gas prices could fall to between N900 and N1,100 per kilogram by the end of 2026 if the Federal Government implements reforms to boost supply and cut costs. The President of NALPGAM, Mr Edu Inyang, made the projection in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Tuesday in Lagos.

NAN reports that cooking gas, which sold for between N900 and N1,000 per kilogram in April, now costs between N2,000 and N2,500 per kilogram in many parts of the Lagos metropolis. Inyang said Dangote Refinery and Nigeria LNG (NLNG) supplied about 87 per cent of Nigeria’s domestic LPG market in 2025. He, however, noted that Dangote Refinery later clarified that its LPG output was primarily intended for the produ...

Sean Strickland forcibly removed from UFC White House event by Secret Service UFC Middleweight Champion Sean Strickland was removed from the UFC Freedom 250 Fan Fest at the Ellipse in Washington, D.C., after showing up despite claiming he had been excluded from the White House event.  Strickland later clarified on Instagram that he was not arrested but suggested he might face a disorderly conduct charge, which in D.C. carries penalties of up to 90 days in jail or a $500 fine.  His presence drew immediate hostility from the pro-Trump crowd, with chants of “USA” erupting before Secret Service agents escorted him out.

 Ukrainian Drones Strike Moscow Oil Refinery as Putin Faces Fresh Setback Ukrainian drones have struck Moscow’s main oil refinery in a major overnight attack, sending flames and thick smoke into the sky as Russia’s capital came under one of its heaviest drone assaults in years. The Kapotnya refinery, located about ten miles from the Kremlin, was engulfed in fire after a swarm of drones reportedly broke through upgraded air defences.
