If they want to compete, let them build their refinery here in Nigeria just as BUA, Lafrage and Mangal have built cement factories to compete with Dangote cement.

Human rights activist Femi Falana, SAN, has lamented that fuel taken from Dangote is cheaper in Togo than in Nigeria.

Falana expressed his concerns on Sunday while responding to questions in an interview on Politics Today, a programme on Channels Television.

He urged the federal government to review the proposed 5 per cent fuel surcharge and ensure that further hardship is not imposed on Nigerians.

“I guess the government wants to go back to the drawing table and ensure that it is not accused of multiple taxes or double taxation because consumers will pay VAT for buying fuel. They will now put an additional 5 per cent tax.

“I think this is what Nigerians are complaining about. And from what we just read today is that the Dangote fuel taken from Nigeria is now cheaper in Togo than in Nigeria I think about 65 naira.

“So, the government will have to review these developments (the proposed 5 per cent fuel surcharge) and ensure more hardship is not imposed on Nigerians,” he said.

Activist and publisher of Sahara Reporters, Omoyele Sowore, has revealed that social media platform X (formerly Twitter) has declined a request by the Department of State Services (DSS) to delete one of his posts criticising President Bola Tinubu.

In a post on Sunday, Sowore said X officially notified him of the request from the DSS.

His words: “This morning, X officially contacted me about the despicable threat letter they received from the lawless DSS over my tweet on Tinubu. One option I will not be taking is deleting that tweet. Thank you, X.”

The notice from X, which Sowore shared, confirmed that the DSS had asked the platform to take action on his account, @YeleSowore, over a post said to contravene Nigerian law.

X said it had not taken any action on the reported content and emphasised its policy of informing users when such legal requests are made.

“As X strongly believes in defending and respecting the voice of our users, it is our policy to notify our users if we receive a legal request from an authorised entity (such as law enforcement or a government agency) to remove content from their account,” the platform stated.

Sowore has repeatedly accused the Tinubu administration of targeting him with harassment, arrests, and trumped-up charges.

lol. why not go to the reviews of these loan sharks on play stores and view the complains of Nigerians against these loan sharks, before blaming these vulnerable citizens ?
some of these loan sharks don't abide by their own loan agreements.
customers negotiated monthly loan payments, but after disbursement of funds, they change it to weekly loan payments, when you decided to return the money, you start experiencing failed transactions, after one week and the customer couldn't pay up, the loan sharks, start adding dubious daily default interest, alongside the main interest.
within short space of time the vulnerable citizens develop hbp and kpai .
Pls pity Nigerians instead of blaming them.
Fccpc should totally place a ban on all those 7 days loan apps, because they are exploiting and killing Nigerians .

From January 2026, Nigerians could face higher fuel costs as a result of the new Nigeria Tax Administration Act, which introduces a five per cent surcharge on refined fossil fuel products. If the current pump price of petrol remains at N900 per litre, motorists would pay an additional N45 on every litre purchased.

The surcharge is part of four new tax reform bills signed into law by President Bola Tinubu on June 26, 2025, aimed at broadening government revenue streams, encouraging clean energy adoption, and reducing reliance on fossil fuels.

According to the Act, the surcharge will be applied to chargeable transactions, including the supply, sale, or payment for fossil fuel products—“whichever occurs first.” The levy covers petrol, diesel, aviation fuel, and other refined petroleum products.

However, some products are exempt: household kerosene, cooking gas, Compressed Natural Gas (CNG), and renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, and hydropower.

The Act states: “A surcharge is imposed at five per cent on chargeable fossil fuel products provided or produced in Nigeria, and shall be collected at the time a chargeable transaction occurs.”

Implementation and Oversight
Although the law sets January 2026 as the intended commencement date, the exact timing remains subject to a formal directive from the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Wale Edun. The minister is expected to announce the effective date through an order published in the Official Gazette.

Administration of the surcharge will fall to the Federal Inland Revenue Service, which will be rebranded as the Nigeria Revenue Service in 2026. The agency has been empowered to collect the levy on a monthly basis and issue further regulations for its enforcement.

Economic and Social Implications
Analysts say the measure reflects government efforts to boost non-oil revenues amid growing fiscal pressures and rising debt obligations. Yet its impact could be controversial, as higher fuel prices often have ripple effects on transportation, food costs, and inflation.

Some argue that the surcharge may accelerate Nigeria’s transition to renewable energy by discouraging heavy dependence on fossil fuels. Critics, however, warn that the immediate effect will be an increased burden on citizens already grappling with high living costs.

The new Act forms part of a broader package of reforms, which also includes the Joint Revenue Board (Establishment) Law and the Nigeria Revenue Service (Establishment) Act, all geared toward strengthening revenue collection and fiscal transparency.
