Chelsea Striker Nicolas Jackson Secures Long-Term Deal: New Contract Extends to 2033
Chelsea has officially confirmed that Senegalese striker Nicolas Jackson has signed a significant two-year contract extension. This new deal ensures that Jackson will remain at Stamford Bridge until 2033.
On Friday, Chelsea’s statement emphasized their excitement: “Chelsea is thrilled to announce that Nicolas Jackson has signed a two-year extension to his contract, keeping him with us until 2033.”
Earlier this season, Blues manager Enzo Maresca hinted at this extension. Jackson, who joined Chelsea from Villarreal in 2023, originally signed an eight-year contract. This extension further solidifies his long-term commitment to the Premier League club.
During his debut season with Chelsea, Jackson impressed by netting 17 goals across various competitions. His notable achievements include a memorable hat-trick against Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League.
This season, Jackson has already scored two goals in four matches, signaling his intent to build on his previous successes. Despite a challenging first season, his recent form indicates a positive turn.
“I’m thrilled and grateful to sign this new contract,” Jackson stated. “It’s fantastic that the club believes in me. I’m committed to working hard and am excited to continue my journey here for many more years.”
Jackson’s professional journey began with Senegalese team Casa Sport before his move to Villarreal in 2020. His breakthrough came during the 2022-23 season, where he scored 13 goals in 38 appearances and was included in Senegal’s squad for the 2022 World Cup.
The new contract extension highlights Chelsea’s confidence in Jackson’s potential and their dedication to securing key players for the future. By extending Jackson’s deal until 2033, Chelsea demonstrates their commitment to building a successful team around promising talents.
In summary, Nicolas Jackson’s new contract extension underscores Chelsea’s strategy to retain top talent and build a solid foundation for future success. The extension not only reaffirms Jackson’s place in the squad but also aligns with Chelsea’s long-term vision in the Premier League.

Fuel Price Hike: Deregulation Impacts Fully Unfolding, Says IPMAN
Fuel Price Hike: Deregulation Impacts Fully Unfolding, Says IPMAN
Fuel Price Hike: The Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN) has linked the recent fuel price surge to the effects of full deregulation in the petroleum sector.
Speaking on Thursday during a Channels Television interview, IPMAN President Abubakar Garima explained that the removal of subsidy has allowed deregulation to take full effect. “We can no longer call it an increase; it’s simply deregulation now in full swing,” he said.
In Lagos, the Nigeria National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) retail outlets raised the price of premium motor spirit (fuel) from ₦855 to ₦998 per litre. In Abuja, the price rose from ₦897 to ₦1,030 per litre. This adjustment follows President Bola Tinubu’s May 2023 declaration that the fuel subsidy was “gone” during his inauguration.
Fuel Price Hike: A Rising Trend
Before the removal of the subsidy, fuel prices were around ₦200 per litre across Nigeria. Since then, prices have been steadily rising, which, along with the floating naira, has contributed to the increased cost of living. This economic shift has made basic commodities unaffordable for millions in Nigeria.
Fuel Availability to Improve
Despite rising costs, availability remains a significant issue. Queues at filling stations across the country have become a regular sight. However, Garima reassured Nigerians that with deregulation fully in place, fuel supply would improve. “Now that there’s no subsidy, availability will no longer be an issue,” Garima stated.
He added that other marketers, not just NNPC, would now be able to import products directly, including from Dangote Refinery.
NLC’s Call for Reversal
Amid the price hike, the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has voiced its opposition, demanding a reversal. The NLC argues that the increased prices will exacerbate poverty, as production capabilities are hampered. “Previous increases did not yield positive results; they only made Nigerians poorer,” the NLC noted in a statement, urging the government to reverse the recent hike.
President Tinubu has urged citizens to remain patient as his reforms are expected to produce long-term benefits, despite the current hardships.
Key Points:
- Full deregulation is driving fuel price hikes in Nigeria.
- Fuel prices have surged from ₦855 to ₦998 in Lagos and ₦897 to ₦1,030 in Abuja.
- The NLC demands a reversal of the pump price hike, citing poverty concerns.
