Nigeria Implements 30-Day Fuel Price Intervention in Abuja
What happened
The federal government announced a 30-day fuel intervention in Nigeria, where NNPC Retail would sell petrol at cost, forgoing its profit margin. The government negotiated a ceiling of N1,350 per litre on the ex-gantry cost of petrol.

Why it matters
The intervention is designed to provide relief to motorists, though it is not a return to the blanket fuel subsidy. Under the proposed price-modulation arrangement, refiners and importers would initially absorb costs above the ceiling, recovering the shortfall later when crude oil prices or the exchange rate improve.
