Subsidy: Ahmed Musa reveals Why He sell fuel at N580 per litre
Super Eagles captain, Ahmed Musa, says he reduced the price of Premium Motor Spirit, otherwise known as petrol, at his fuel station MYCA7 in Kano to help alleviate the hardship on Nigerians occasioned by the hike in the price of the petroleum product.
Musa announced the reduction from N620 to N580 per litre via his Twitter handle on Monday.
Two months after President Bola Tinubu declared an end to fuel subsidy, the pump price of PMS has increased twice, with the product selling for as high as N620 per litre or more in many parts of the country.
The increase equally triggered a hike in the cost of living and transportation across the country.
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has said they cannot “cry about” the 1-1 draw at Fulham in the Premier League on Sunday.
Arteta, however, insisted his team deserved to take all three points.
Raul Jimenez opened the scoring for the hosts in the first half before William Saliba levelled in the 52nd minute.
Speaking after the match, Arteta said: “Gutted that we didn’t win it. We fully deserved to win it. That’s the quality of the opposition, so you cannot cry about it. We generated all the chances but it’s so difficult to attack.”
Arsenal had 70 per cent possession and VAR denied Bukayo Saka what would have been a late winner.
Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has admitted his team did not do enough to beat Nottingham Forest in the Premier League on Saturday.
The Red Devils suffered back-to-back defeats for the first time under Amorim, losing 3-2 to Nuno Espirito Santo’s men.
Goals from Nikola Milenkovic, Morgan Gibbs-White and Chris Wood moved Forest up to fifth place, with Rasmus Hojlund and Bruno Fernandes getting on the scoresheet for United.
The result leaves United in 13th place, 10 points above relegation places.
Amorim, speaking with BBC Sport, said: “Tough game. We started really bad. The first play we suffered a goal and then it’s hard to try to fight. We then controlled the game and had a lot of situations.
“We improved the movement in the last third. We managed to draw the game and then, at halftime, we were ready to go for the win and then started really bad. Two goals. Then we tried a lot of things with not a lot of quality.
“We didn’t have many situations to score. Tough game in a tough moment but we have to continue the job.”
Ola Aina has won Nottingham Forest’s Player of the Month for November.
The Nigerian international won the most votes in a poll on the club’s official website.
Aina scored his first Forest goal of the month against West Ham United.
The 28-year-old also helped Nuno Espirito Santo keep two clean sheets during the month.
It was the first time he will be winning the award this season.
The full-back has made 14 league appearances for the Tricky Trees this season.
He is expected to be in action when Forest take on Manchester United at the Old Trafford on Saturday (today).
