EtinosaDLaw:
Edo Government says the ongoing Modular Refinery project at Ologbo in Ikpoba-Okha Local Government Area of the state, will on completion, drive the state’s industrial revolution quest.
Mr Crusoe Osagie, Special Adviser to Gov. Godwin Obaseki on Media and Communication Strategy, made this known in a statement made available to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Benin on Sunday.
He said the Edo Modular and Refinery Company Ltd. and AIPCC Energy, were on the verge of completing the 5,500bpd Edo Modular Refinery, now at 70 per cent completion stage.
“This is a key legacy project by the Gov. Godwin Obaseki-led istration to recalibrate the state’s industrial base, birthed through a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU).
“The project, sited at Ologbo in Ikpoba Okha Local Government Area, would produce from its feedstock 50 per cent of diesel (500,000 litres), 25 per cent of naphtha (300,000 litres) and 20 per cent of fuel oil (200,000) litres.
“The crude is to be sourced from the Nigerian Petroleum Development Company’s (NPDC) facility – oil mining lease (OML) 111, near Benin City.
“The Chinese consortium handling the construction of the modular refinery is made up of Peiyang Chemical Equipment Company of China (PCC), Sinopec International Petroleum Service Corporation (SIPS) and African Infrastructure Partners (AIP),” he said.
Osagie said the modular refinery project was among the growing list of ongoing legacy projects through MoU with local and international private investors, which included the 55MW CCTEC Ossiomo Power Plant, which had been completed and ready for use.
“The Benin Enterprise and Industrial Park, which development is ongoing and the Benin River Port, for which preliminary works are ongoing,” he said.
He said the governor was committed to resetting the economy of the state for prosperity and industrial growth.
According to him, the local content component of the refinery project ensures that Edo citizens are trained in welding, refinery operation and fabrication works to enable them participate in the construction of the refinery as well as its operation, post-commissioning.
“The refinery is at 70 per cent completion and we are very sure that it will soon be ready for commissioning,” Osagie said.
He added that the actualisation of the project was premised on the governor’s smart thinking and financial savviness from which he mobilised funds and resources to initiate and execute the project.
“Recall that the Edo State EXCO approved the release of N700 million as redeemable preference shares (investment) in the Edo Refinery and Petrochemical Company Ltd.
“The venture is expected to create legitimate employment opportunities, thereby reducing poverty, provide job opportunities for teeming youths in the communities.
“To facilitate the establishment of a fabrication yard as proposed by the promoters and create basis for expertise, professionalism and further training in the oil and gas industry.
“The take-off of the Edo Refinery and Petrochemicals Company benefits from a series of groundwork by the Obaseki-led istration that led to the setting up of Edo Investment Scheme Ltd.
“A Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) to hold N2 billion investment funds in which the Ministry of Finance Incorporation (MOFI) and the Edo State Oil and Gas Producing Areas Development Commission (EDSOGPADEC) are to hold shares of 20 percent and 80 per cent respectively,” he said.
Osagie noted that the project would facilitate the state’s investment in various initiatives across the oil and gas sector, petroleum exploration, drilling and filling stations, sales and supply of gas, agro-allied products, petroleum and petrochemical products and other related businesses
Lies lies lies.
The only mentioned MOU with who?
Who is funding the project?
What percentage counterpart funding did the state provide?
Video says 80% complete, and due in september, write up says 70% complete. September 2020 is next month o, e be like say them forget...
The truth of this work will soon come out...
Trust Obaseki I wish you luck!!!

I am a yoruba but truth be told if you come across an uneducated(western education) hausa man u go shock. They fear God too much and always act diligently. honesty is their watchword. once an hausa man becomes educated(western edu) every
thing changes. it is as if western edu corrupts their minds i still dont understand how this happens though not all of them bht most. In form of honesty, hausa tribe comes first for me, follow by yoruba. I am not a tribalist but igbo wont even make the list.
If u don't have time for my multiple choice answers, who asked u to get into d discussion I was having with d other guy? I didn't argue with u. I only asked u simple question. Or is argument d same as question?
I stated an opinion on a subject bros, l thought that is my constitutional right?
In d Constitution, are "the people" and "the government" used as one concept or used as two separate concepts?
Simple yes or no
Hahaha l do not have the time for your multiple choice answers, if you have a point state it. These exchanges are supposed to be symbiotic not arguments for the sake of arguing...
I don't need to read ur subsequent post. There's a reason u brought up d issue of tax. If u say d thread didn't mention tax, y then did u say:
"What is anti Christian about it
Jesus Christ himself paid tax... the money from the fish!
Or give to Ceaser what belongs to Ceaser, and to God what is Gods'."
What has it got to do with d thread?
I ask again:
Is CAC in charge of collecting tax in Nigeria?
Simple yes or no
It truly means you have not read a word l have said since. My last post clearly answers the question you have been asking, for what ever reason the answer is not obvious to you...
I can see that the discuss is currently unproductive and like have previously said going round in circles...
I should be d one asking because u are d one who brought tax into d matter. Your exact words:
"What is anti Christian about it
Jesus Christ himself paid tax... the money from the fish!
Or give to Ceaser what belongs to Ceaser, and to God what is Gods'."
So my question still stands:
Is CAC in charge of collecting tax in Nigeria?
My subsequent post would definitely have revealed to you why l said what l said. But l am certain you would not want to closely look at them...
Needless for us to continue the discuss. I went ahead to tell what the CACs statutory job is, and no where there in the act was tax collection mentioned...l am also sure you noticed...
You have not answered any questions l have raised either so we are going around in circles...
You of course know the truth but are trying to defend your position probably due to religious bias...
Like she advised him let him form his own country where he can operate with his own laws. On that stand...
You really want to the bandwagon of blind APC ers?
I believe you're not in Edo. That phrase is bitting them in the ass already.
Instead of saying, "you haven't done much as we would have expected" (Which is debatable)
You want to tell a man who woke up to see road construction going on in his street, that Obaseki has done nothing? Or the woman whose son was employed into the state's civil service in 2018 (first open recruitment since 1999), that the job is audio? You may chose to be blind, but Edo citizens are not.
In Education (Edo is now a model even Lagos is tryingto copy); health sector (try to find out how Nigeria appraised Edo's Covid-19 response). In employment or youth empowerment, APC led NBS (recent unemployment data) and World Bank's assessments are now false? What of agriculture?
Maybe the style he chose "Let my project Speak and let the direct beneficiaries commission it", is what has confused your lots and those APC miscreant. Beacuse you didn't see jamboree on TV.
Now that he's showing them, they're saying its product of MOU (what is 'our' stake in these projects?)
Most Nigerians are really gullible!
PS: The few things I listed are verifiable. Objectivity is key!
There is frankly nothing to show on TV that's why it isn't there. For someone who doesn't want to show his works, but spends tax payers money to show them Ganduje is indeed the height...
The Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) of Nigeria was established in 1990 vide Companies and Allied Matters Act no 1 (CAMA) 1990[1] as amended, now on Act cap C20 Laws of federation of Nigeria.[2] It is an autonomous body charged with the responsibility to regulate the formation and management of companies in Nigeria.

This is the end time people... Pls pray for president Donald Trump re-election , for it will determine the fate of Christian's and the church.
If, he doesn't win, the church will be finished and the God's people will both suffer and scatter. This is just d beginning, pls let's pray for president Donald Trump .
I really dont get it. Revelation is prophecy of how it will be, now Christian's are asking others to pray it doesn't happen
Everyone wants to go to heaven but no one wants to die...how possible
ERockson:
This woman is carrying curses. It is wrong of any Christian to be aiding and abetting any anti Christian government policy with obvious ulterior motive. This woman and her likes should keep quiet if they can't call the government to order because of what they eat or steal from government
What is anti Christian about it
Jesus Christ himself paid tax... the money from the fish!
Or give to Ceaser what belongs to Ceaser, and to God what is Gods'.
Dont give urself hypertension.
Obaseki's own campaign is ward to ward campaign not all this ur crowd dat don't have voters card.
On the last day f obaseki's campaign u will be shocked.
In politics u use common sense.
GboyegaD:
Anyways, that was the understanding the church had. It is necessary to be punished for a wrong act however, some don't understand how to balance it forgetting that "he who thinks he stands should take he'd lest he falls."
Most importantly, there are three sides to a story. Some people exaggerate a temporary ban and leave church instead.
How many did Christ that we all claim to emulate ban
Even with the case of the adulterer that was caught in the very act, what did he say and do
We stand on our moral grounds and substitute the traditions of men with the word of God...
Alexgman1:
Can someone who rarely pay tithe because of one of two reasons or doesn't pay tithe at all through out his life make heaven if he/she dies or when rapture takes place?
Let the men of GOD in the house clear the air on this.
Non that died came back to tell us if they made it or not
Gentlealibu:
Has any body noticed that Obaseki's campaign pictures and videos are always showing mostly only the people at the front so as to hide the scantiness of the crowd while those of Ize-Iyamu's are taken from the top of the podium showing the extent of the crowd.
