Trump gives TikTok extra 75 days to find US buyer

Published

on

President Donald Trump has given TikTok a 75-day extension, staving off a ban on the Chinese-owned app just as its April 5 deadline loomed.

In a Friday post on Truth Social—his social media platform- the US President trumpeted an executive order to extend negotiations, a move he cast as a lifeline for a deal he’s keen to seal.

“My Administration has been working very hard on a Deal to SAVE TIKTOK, and we have made tremendous progress,” Trump wrote.

“The deal requires more work to ensure all necessary approvals are signed, which is why I am signing an Executive Order to keep TikTok up and running for
an additional 75 days.”

The ban, initially deferred on his first day back in office in January, had been barrelling toward an April 5 cutoff—now pushed out once more.

TikTok’s parent company, ByteDance, has been under pressure to divest its US business following bipartisan legislation passed in 2024 that mandates the app’s separation from Chinese ownership.

Trump laced his announcement with a jab at China, irked, he said, by his reciprocal tariffs. “We hope to continue working in good faith with China,” he added, calling tariffs “the most powerful economic tool” and vital for national security.

“We do not want TikTok to ‘go dark,’” he insisted, eyeing a resolution that keeps the app alive.

We look forward to working with TikTok and China to close the deal. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”

The Nigerian naira continued to trade under pressure in the unofficial foreign exchange market on Sunday, with traders in Lagos reporting another round of fluctuations in the dollar–naira exchange rate.

According to information gathered from several Bureau De Change (BDC) operators, the U.S. dollar sold for ₦1468 while buying stood at ₦1460 at the parallel market. This rate reflects the pricing used by street currency dealers and is often influenced by daily demand, liquidity conditions, and prevailing economic sentiment.

Important CBN Position on Black Market Transactions

The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has repeatedly emphasized that it does not recognize the black market as an official channel for forex trading. The apex bank maintains that all legitimate foreign exchange transactions should be conducted through commercial banks or other authorized financial institutions.
Despite this directive, many Nigerians still resort to the parallel market due to delays, documentation requirements, or limited access to forex through official channels.

Shifts in dollar supply and demand

Dangote Refinery Reduces Petrol Price

Published

By

The petrol market recorded another change as the Dangote Refinery and a few other depot operators reduced their gantry price of Premium Motor Spirit to ₦840 per litre.

Naijapunchnews reports that new rate moved down from the previous ₦843, following a fall in the price of Brent crude, which averaged $62 per barrel over the weekend.

The drop in crude cost pushed refiners and other players in the downstream market to adjust their prices.

Market checks showed that the Dangote Refinery, AIPEC and NIPCO all moved their depot price to ₦840 per litre.

Other depots reviewed their rates differently, with Rainoil at ₦844, Sigmund at ₦858, Master Energy at ₦858 and Northwest at ₦850 per litre.

Operators linked the price change to the dip in global crude, which affects refining and distribution costs.

The group also restated that the 1.65 million barrels per day held back from the market could return step by step, depending on how conditions play out.

They maintained that they still have full room to pause or reverse voluntary production changes, including the 2.2 million barrels per day cut first announced in 2023.
