Nigeria ENDBADGOVERNANCE!

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has said that those benefiting from fuel importation will do all in their power to frustrate the Dangote Petroleum Refinery.

In an interview with Financial Times, the former President described the Dangote refinery as a project that should encourage both Nigerians and non-Nigerians.

“Aliko’s investment in a refinery, if it goes well, should encourage both Nigerians and non-Nigerians to invest in Nigeria.

“If those who are selling or supplying refined products for Nigeria feel that they will lose the lucrative opportunity, they will also make every effort to get him frustrated,” Obasanjo stated.

Obasanjo shared his opinion on the heels of recent allegations by the President of the Dangote Group, Aliko Dangote, that some
that some government and non-government officials were making efforts to frustrate the $20bn refinery.

Officials of the Dangote Group recently cried out that international oil companies were frustrating the refinery by refusing to sell crude or by selling to them at a up to $4 above the normal price.

This prompted the Federal Executive Council’s directive to the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited, to sell crude oil to Dangote Refinery and other local refineries in naira and not in United States greenback.

They also accused the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Regulatory Authority of deliberately granting licences to individuals to import dirty fuel.

The regulator denied this, saying Dangote diesel was inferior when compared to the imported ones

The NMDPRA Chief Executive, Farouk Ahmed, also stated that the country would not stop fuel importation to avoid a monopoly by the Dangote Group.

Dangote commenced operations at his behemoth facility located in Lagos last December with 350,000 barrels a day. The refinery hopes to achieve its full capacity of 650,000 barrels per day by the end of the year.

The refinery has begun the supply of diesel and aviation fuel to marketers in the country while petrol supply is expected to commence in August amid regulatory resistance.

Kwankwaso Blames Dangote Refinery Saga On Vested Interests
In the wake of the controversies, former Kano State Governor, Rabiu Kwankwaso, while weighing in on the disagreement, blamed the saga on vested interests.

Reacting via his X handle, Kwankwaso blamed what he described as ‘unnecessary fuss’ on vested interests, saying it could damage investor confidence in the Nigerian economy.

"The creation of unnecessary fuss around its integrity by some vested interests is very unfortunate, and it stands to undo all the years of hard work to maintain the fragile investor confidence in our economy,” he said.

The presidential candidate of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) in the 2023 general elections described Dangote’s refinery as a crucial asset for the nation’s energy needs and economic stability.

He also stressed the importance of protecting the asset from any threats that could undermine its operations.

“I was privileged to visit the magnificent Dangote Refinery, and I was marvelled by the sheer commitment that went into the quality of its establishment,It’s time for us to rally around this National Asset to ensure that the monumental project does not fail. It cannot fail, and the Nigerian government must understand this by demonstrating fairness and confidence in both domestic and foreign critical investments,” he stated.

POLICE HAVE THE CIVIC MANDATE TO PROTECT #ENDBADGOVERNACE PROTESTERS: by SESUGH ABUA


Our Distinguished people of Nigeria, as the August 1st national protest draws nearer, and clock ticking faster, there remains a mystery surrounding the uncertainties that are awaiting owing due to the outcome of the #Endsars which saw Nigerian protesters take to the street to lay out their anger in the state of the nation.

Given our wealth of knowledge in civic demonstration with regards to outcome, born on a religious battlefield, we have witnessed the sad terrors of Civic violence. Therefore, The Nigerian Police Force NPF must protect Nigerian Protesters from hoodlums, and hooligans inorder not to warrant any indiscriminate disobedience of public order.

While Nigerian citizens deserve the civic right to protest, protesters should be supervised by public officials to perform, their civic rite in a peaceful manner while the non participating citizens onished to remain at home and be about their peaceful livelihood activities. Despite listing 8 protest kick off points by the #TAKEITBACK organization, Nigerians are advised to exercise caution and safety during the protest.

The Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), George Akume, has pleaded with Nigerians to shun the planned nationwide hunger protest.

He said better days are ahead and Nigerians will soon breathe a sigh of relief.

He said President Bola Tinubu recognises the right to peaceful protest but circumspection should be the watchword.

He said the government was weary of protests being hijacked by bandits, insurgents, and other criminals.

He urged the citizens to go about their legitimate businesses and avoid actions capable of disturbing the peace of the country.


Akume made the plea at a briefing alongside four key ministers and the special adviser to the president on information and strategy, Bayo Onanuga.

The others are the minister of information and national orientation, Mohammed Idris Malagi, the coordinating minister of the economy and minister of finance, Wale Edun, the minister of budget and national planning, Abubakar Atiku Bagudu and the minister of solid minerals, Dele Alake.

Akume begged Nigerians to pursue the path of peace, dialogue and collaboration.

He said: “Ladies and gentlemen, it is in the light of these aforementioned situation and accomplishments that we wish to inform you that Nigeria is a work in progress and in due course, we shall breathe a sigh of relief.

"The ongoing economic hardships would abate very soon and we shall all enjoy endless prosperity"

“We therefore appeal to Nigerians of whatever persuasion, belief, demography, gender and status to shun calls for protest against hunger by prioritising peace and progress.”

He said President Tinubu recognises the right to peaceful protest but circumspection should be the watchword.

He added:” For the avoidance of doubts, the government of President Tinubu recognises the right to peaceful protest but circumspection and vigilance should be our watchwords.”

The SGF said the government was pleading because protests might be hijacked by bandits and insurgents.

He said: “Government is weary of the dangers associated with protests that are vulnerable to being highjacked by bandits, insurgents and other criminals.

Rather, we request that dialogue should be advanced and we remain open to such.

“Our appeal is that Nigerians should please pursue the path of peace, dialogue, and collaboration in addressing the challenges that collectively confront us.

“Please go about your legitimate businesses and avoid actions and/or associations that are capable of disturbing the peace of the country. Remain vigilant as well.”


He said President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will not disappoint the nation.

“Let me reassure you that together, we shall create a Nigeria where peace and stability are not merely aspirations but realities, where economic growth is not just a goal but a tangible outcome, and where the dreams of our people are transformed into a shared national destiny,” he said

Ahead of the hunger protest scheduled to begin on Thursday, the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, has mocked organisers to go ahead with the demonstration while they watch on eating.

Akpabio made this disclosure on Tuesday while addressing delegates of the Niger Delta Development Commission in Rivers State.

The Senate President, who seems displeased with the planned protest, said the Niger-Delta people are not ready for a regime change while referencing the statement of the MD of the commission.

“All of us feel the impact of what is happening now. But we are aware it will be for a short while. MD, I want to want to thank you for what you said. You said we are not interested in regime change; let us own this government.

“Those who want to protest can protest, but let us be there eating — I must thank the Niger Delta.

“We acknowledge the fact that the impact of oil and gas activities in our region has done immeasurable damage to our people,” he stressed.

He assured that the National Assembly is ready to help with legislation to curb oil spillage and environmental pollution in the region.

“The specific issues faced by the Niger Delta must be contained in that communique because we are going to make it available to Mr President.

“The ones that need legislation will come to us, the ones that need intervention will go to NDDC, the ones that need more money will go to the president and commander-in-chief and I assure you that those issues will be addressed,” he maintained.

The PUNCH reports Akpabio called for an emergency meeting of the Senate due to the forthcoming protest scheduled for August 1 to 10.

A circular signed by the Clerk, Chinedu Akubueze on Monday, said the meeting was of “National Importance”.

The internal circular did not give further details on the emergency meeting.

The meeting will be held on Wednesday, July 31, 2024, just one day before the commencement of the nationwide planned protest against hunger and hardship.

The memo wrote, “Dear Distinguished Senators, the President of the Senate, His Excellency, Senator Godswill Obot Akpabio, GCON, has directed that an emergency plenary sitting of the Senate be convened as follows: Date: WEDNESDAY, JULY 31st, 2024; TIME: 12 NOON.”

Peacefull protest please!

SAY NO TO VIOLENCE !!

Today, we find out selves In a situation that calls for a deliberated approach inorder to find a cureable solution to this "NATIONAL PROTEST".

As Nigerians, we should all in one unison, discard this call for protest at first hearing. Having witnessed at fore front, the terrors of "ENDSARS" protest in 2021 which brought the country down on its knees, no Nigerian should ever wish to witness this calamity again completely.

WHAT IS THE CRY OF NIGERIANS ??

Mega Economic disaster, brought about by the removal of fuel subsidy, has left so many Nigerians with a portfolio of difficulties in ever increasing daily living costs.

Even our once enjoyable fuel priced, at N450 per litre which seemed a lot little easy difficult nowadays it is either N850 a litre, at most 1000 black market price therefore, the suffering is too much.

Federal Government on it's own effort, has tried to alleviate the economy through cash policies of grants and Loans to Nigerians, but this good gesture continues to linger unperturbedly Inadequate to cover the spread.

Regardless of the increase in our Nation Minimum Wage to record worthy N70,000 many Nigerians continue to be without unemployment in such a way that they may not be shortlisted to be among those on the minimum wage payroll.

At this moment of Empirical Literary illiteracy, it is in my well experienced wisdom to say"Protest"will constitute a great disaster to our National discipline. Having witness firsthand what happened that day at the Lekki toll gate, we should reject any thought of protest because we will only be putting ourselves on a keg of gun powder.

It will be in the interest of the FG, to develop and further promote more cityzen beneficial programs, that will alleviate the sufferings of Nigerian Cityzens so that national coherety can remain sustainably adequate.

The National Association of Nigerian Students, NANS, has said it understands what Nigerians are facing because of the state of the nation’s economy, but warned against embarking on unrest, saying that is not going to provide any solution to the problems at hand.

Also, the student body has called on those behind the planned protest to come out in the open and stop hiding their identities, adding that it is necessary for Nigerians to interrogate their motives for the planned action.

According to the National President, Comrade Lucky Emonefe, in a statement on Wednesday, there is need to have a clear assessment of tbe situation and the necessary steps to take instead of embarking on mob action.

The body also assured that Nigerian students would not be part of any step or action to set the nation on fire, noting that cutting off the head is not the antidote for headache.

“The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) found it necessary to address the pressing concerns and burning contemporary issues affecting our beloved country and, most importantly, the student community.

“Firstly, NANS acknowledges the significant hardship being experienced by citizens across Nigeria due to the implementation of recent reforms and policies by the government. These measures, though aimed at steering our nation towards sustainable development, have undoubtedly brought about economic challenges that have impacted every Nigerian household. We understand the frustrations and difficulties the citizens are facing, and we are deeply empathetic to the plight of all Nigerians.

“However, we must remain steadfast and patient. The transformation we all desire is not an overnight process. It requires collective resilience and perseverance. We are optimistic that in no distant future, the positive outcomes of these reforms will become evident. Citizens patience and understanding are vital during this period of adjustment.

“NANS also wishes to categorically distance Nigerian students from any protest against the government at this time. We have observed that certain individuals and groups are attempting to exploit the current economic situation to incite unrest. This is evident in the fact that the organizers of the protests have chosen to hide their identities while making inflammatory statements that are capable of engendering chaos. They are simply economic saboteurs because their aim is to add to the current economic realities facing Nigerians for selfish political gains.

"The over 40.1 million nigerian students will not be cajoled into the grand conspiracy of this obscured individuals in the name of “Ending bad governance” if they themselves cannot a simple integrity test by revealing themselves and openly engaging us in open debates, rather than lurking around our campuses in an attempt to railroad the students constituency into execution of their hidden agenda. The students have enjoyed an uninterrupted academic calendar in over a year now, the organized labour, including the academic staff unions are all being engaged by the federal government at different stages of dialogue to ensure that the uninterrupted streak in our academic pursuit is sustained. We will not allow those with hidden agenda and identity to create artificial crisis that would disrupt our academic pursuit.

We believe in constructive dialogue and engagement as the best means to address our grievances.

“In this light, we want to express our profound appreciation to the government for the full commencement of the disbursement of the NELFUND students loan. This initiative in just about a year of this istration, is a testament to the government’s commitment to ing education and ensuring that financial constraints do not hinder our academic pursuits.

“We are particularly pleased that the process has been streamlined, allowing eligible students to access loans without the need for intermediaries, thereby promoting transparency and efficiency. We would ensure that we allow the open channels of engagement with the government and hold them to task on their other policies to revive the economy and ameliorate the hardship in the land.

“We call on all Nigerian students to focus on their academic activities. Your education is your greatest asset, and it is crucial that you do not allow external distractions to derail your progress. Stay committed to your studies, and avoid being swayed by those who seek to use you for their own agendas.

"We also call on parents to play an active role in guiding and monitoring their children. And ensure they remain focused on their academic goals and refrain from participating in any protest that might jeopardize their future or disrupt the peace and stability of our nation.

“Furthermore, the NANS national leadership has set up a coordinating, monitoring and intelligence gathering (CMIG) team across the zonal, states and campus structures, to identify those who have over some couple of weeks, been lurking around our campuses
to mobilize students for their selfish and disruptive protest"

“We have decided to identify, compile their names and blacklist them as regressive agents who are actively out to not only incite violence, but also disrupt the smooth running of our academic calendar.

"The NANS president and national executives, in conjunction with the zonal coordinators, will soon embark on a zonal sensitization tour of the six zones to engage with our Students and inaugurate the CMIG, which would report directly the situation room at the NANS national Head quarters.

“Finally, NANS remains dedicated to advocating for the welfare and interests of Nigerian students. We will continue to engage with the government and other stakeholders to find lasting solutions to the challenges we face. Together, we can build a brighter future for ourselves and for Nigeria.”

Former presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, has said the Dangote Refinery should be fully ed and not vilified adding the success of Dangote is linked to the success of Nigeria and Africa at large.

He said this in a series of posts on his X handle on Tuesday, July 23 noting that the conflict between Dangote Industries and some government agencies are deeply troubling.

He wrote:

“The recent conflicts between Dangote Industries and some government agencies are deeply troubling. This issue transcends political affiliations and personal grievances. It is fundamentally about Nigeria’s economy, future, and the well-being of its citizens. Given Alhaji Dangote's significant contributions to Nigeria, it is crucial that these disputes are resolved swiftly. Government agencies should be directed to offer the necessary for the seamless launch and operation of the Dangote Refinery and its associated enterprises. The refinery has the potential to generate approximately $21 billion in annual revenue and create over 100,000 jobs, with numerous additional positive impacts on the economy.

“Its strategic importance in addressing Nigeria’s fuel crisis, boosting foreign exchange earnings, and fostering economic growth cannot be overstated. The refinery is too vital to fail and must not be hindered, considering its crucial role in our national welfare.

“The Federal Government and its agencies need to recognize the significance of Dangote’s contributions. Alhaji Dangote is not just a businessman; he is a national and African brand symbolizing patriotism, commitment, and impactful entrepreneurship.

“Despite operating in a challenging business environment, he has established a remarkable industrial hub in Nigeria, encoming over 15 sectors, including cement, sugar, salt, fertilizer, infrastructure, tomatoes, automotive, energy, petrochemicals, rice, poly sacks, real estate, mining, logistics, and maritime. Alhaji Dangote’s unwavering dedication to Nigeria's industrialization, job creation, and economic growth, despite adversities, warrants full and protection. With economic indicators like unemployment, inflation, forex scarcity, and debt worsening, every sensible and patriotic government should regard enterprises like Dangote Industries as national treasures, meriting robust and protection.

“In the interest of Nigeria and its citizens, as well as Africans at large, I urge the Federal Government and its agencies to provide Dangote Industries, especially the refinery, with all necessary .

“The success of Dangote is intrinsically linked to the success of Nigeria and Africa; conversely, its failure would be a significant setback for both Nigeria and the continent.”

Remman:
All of them (Tinubu men) don dey envy Dangote, because he's making billions legitimately and not a thief like them, if to say them allow our own refineries to work, Dangote for no even think about building one. Out of their envy they force him to import crude while we have it in abundance being shipped out of this country by mafias. Thank God for Dangote's refinery as its presence will make other refineries in Nigeria to function. It is now that i somewhat desire a northern president for we saw how Buhari ed Dangote, any northerner as president would do the same for right now it's now a government of Nepotism. Actually, price of fuel will come down in the future as long as we now have Dangote.

You have oil inside your head. God Bless you for this.
