BusinessNG Editorial Focus – June 16, 2025

The June 16, 2025 edition of BusinessNG takes a deep dive into the economic and geopolitical shifts currently shaping global and domestic markets. At the center is the resurgence of geopolitical risk following Israel’s airstrikes on Iran, which have driven oil prices upward and reignited instability in global supply chains. The editorial examines the implications of these tensions for Nigeria’s crude oil exports, trade balance, and fiscal planning. It also assesses the broader impact of Donald Trump’s tariff war on African economies, particularly Nigeria’s export competitiveness and macroeconomic stability. Domestically, the edition highlights strategic shifts in key industries, such as Dangote Refinery’s direct distribution model and its implications for fuel pricing and logistics. The editorial also spotlights corporate leadership developments, including Fidelity Bank’s Kevin Ugwuoke’s appointment as CRMI president, and reflects on the growing concerns over democratic consolidation as mass defections threaten multiparty politics. Overall, it emphasizes resilience, reform, and strategic adaptation.
