The federal government has disclosed that it did not fix the new price of petrol in the country which took effect on Monday, December 14.

The minister of labour and employment, Chris Ngige explained that the new price came about from the commercials like demurrage, transhipment and storage, Vanguard reported.

He stated that the Nigerian government is no more involved in the business of regulating petrol pricing.

Ngige was reported to have made the statement at the presidential villa after he inaugurated the bipartite plus technical committee on Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) pricing framework.

The minister said:

He stated that the need to bring relief to the Nigerian people and consumers prompted the price reduction price from N168,000 per litre to N162.44k per litre.

In another news, the ongoing strike embarked upon by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) may not end soon due to the reported differences between Chris Ngige, and the leadership of the union engaged in verbal war.

The Nation reported that the minister on Tuesday, December 8, faulted claims of the ASUU president, Prof. Biodun Ogunyemi, who blamed the federal government for the union's failure to call off the strike.

It is safe to say it was a memorable day for Big Brother Naija(BBNaija) reality star, Ka3na Jones when she finally met Don Jazzy for the first time.

In a video which she shared via her Instagram story, the reality star and entrepreneur was seen going on her knees the moment she entered the room and set her eyes on the Mavin boss.

Don Jazzy in the video appeared amused as he tried to make her get back up on her feet. She obliged but still went back down on her knees as she thanked him for meeting with her.

Ka3na who was overwhelmed with joy did little to hide it and revealed in the caption that she wasn’t going to wash the dress she wore to meet him.

Shortly afterwards, Ka3na beckoned on her assistant to bring the gifts she came along with for the music boss.

Ka3na who has been going around town giving gifts to people as her own way of marking the festive period made sure to show up at Don Jazzy’s house with a big basket full of goodies for him.

In her next post, she was seen posing for a photo with the Don and his basket full of gifts.

Meanwhile, Big Brother Naija 2020 seems to hold more drama outside the house than it did during the show. One of the ex-housemates, Ka3na, recently left fans talking with her tweet which many people think was directed at Nengi.

Anthony Joshua has successfully defended his WBA, WBO and IBF titles after defeating Kubrat Pulev by TKO in the 9th Round on Saturday night, December 12.

The 31-year-old Briton last fought in Saudi Arabia when he won his titles back from Andy Ruiz Jr. in December 2019.

On the night against Pulev, not much was seen in the first round as Anthony Joshua stood-off his challenger, wondering why he isn't all-guns blazing like he was in 2014 vs Klitschko.

In Pound 2, Pulev's gloves pulled off to the laughs of the Bulgarian as Joshua was the first to really unload to a huge roar from the crowd.

In Round 3, a massive right and then shot after shot after Joshua exploded but Pulev managed to walk away from AJ and was given a count by the official. AJ then scores another knockdown!

There was nothing so spectacular in Round 4, but AJ landed a big right late in the 5th round, but he couldn't follow up this time as he did in the third.

The 6th Round saw the Bulgarian show some glimpses as he produced more frequency, knowing he needed to be pro-active. Joshua, nonetheless, evaded most of his efforts and has a smile on his face as he initiates counter-jab mode.

In Round 7, AJ re-introduces the straight right/left hook combo a couple of times, combining it with uppercuts, but Pulev did well to soak up the pressure.

AJ put up more aggressive show in Round 8 and it eventually paid off in the following round dropping Pulev for a third time in the fight. And then a fourth; with seconds left in round nine, the official counts Pulev down! Joshua wins by TKO.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that Mike Tyson and Roy Jr's, much-anticipated exhibition boxing fight ended in a drawaccording to the judges decisions.

Tyson tagged Jones with body shots and a handful of head punches during the bout that marked his return to action after 15 years.

The Baddest man on the Planet wore his traditional black trunks while Jones paid tribute to Kobe Bryant as he wore trunks with Lakers' yellow and purple.

The fight was an eight two-minute rounds, and both the 54-year-old and the 51-year-old were smiling at the end as proceeds were raised for charity.
