Nigeria: Airlines Hike Flight Fares by 40% as Fuel Scarcity Bites

Numerous airlines in the country have increased their flight fares by around 40% due to a more expensive aviation fuel and the lingering scarcity beclouding it.

The price of aviation fuel across the nation is now N240 per litre. The product used to go for N205 to N210 per litre until this week. Things are worse in some other states like Kano, Sokoto and Yola where it is sold at N250 per litre.
As a result, a return ticket on the popular Abuja-Lagos route for the major domestic airlines is now between N70,000 to N88,000, a 40% increase.
Foreign airlines are also panicking over the current aviation fuel shortage on the West African coast, with some airlines are going as far as Gabon to get aviation fuel.

Arsenal’s Wenger concerned by Chinese spending power

Arsene Wenger fears the huge wages being offered by big-spending Chinese clubs could cause problems when the Premier League teams look to negotiate new contracts with their star players.  Wenger is currently locked in talks with Arsenal duo Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez as the pair reportedly seek parity with the best-paid players in the Premier League. The Arsenal manager is hoping for successful resolutions to those contract stand-offs, but he believes the money on offer in the China Super League may persuade the Premier League’s star names to ask for even bigger pay packets to stay in England.

Dozens of supporters chanting club songs swarmed the former Chelsea player at the city’s Pudong airport. Oscar’s arrival in the Chinese Super League comes ahead of that of Argentina’s former Manchester United striker Carlos Tevez, who signed for Shanghai Shenhua in another big-money deal last week.  Tevez’s transfer fee was 10.5 million euros, according to the website transfermarkt.com, which tracks dealings in the sport, though the reported two-year contract of 38 million euros per season ($40 million) makes him the world’s highest salaried footballer.
