I really miss GEJ the slow poke , under his 6 years administration nothing was working effectively but when my able president started working for just 2 months , many things started working for good.
Thus your epistle has no meaning to us cos it's a stake news

Baba go ahead....PMB is our leader.

Setting The Record On The Proposed Refineries Privatisation By GEJ's Administration.
I believe it will be great that I also addressed this issue.

On the 8th of February 2012, the FG inaugurated a National Refineries Special Task Force. The task force was to ensure self sufficiency of petroleum products in the country under a strong framework in the shortest possible time. Memebers of the Task Force are Kalu Idika Kalu (Chairman), Mallam Yusuf Alli (Alternate Chairman); Prof. Ayo Ogunye; Mr. Imo Itsueli; Mr. M. B. Shehu, Mr. Olumuyiwa Ajibola and Dr. N. J. D. Erinne. Others are Mr. Alex Ogedengbe; Mallam Bello Maccido; Mr. Emeka Ene; Mr. Stanley Lawson; Mr. Akin Kekere-Ekun; Mrs. Fatima Wali-Abdulrahman; Mallam Abba Dabo; Mr. Harcourt Adukeh; Mrs. Mayen Adetiba; Mr. Babatunde Ogun and Mr. Achese Igwe.
The Task Force was also called "Idika Kalu Task Force".

In late November 2012, the Task Force Submitted their report where it tasked FG to SALE ALL 4 Refineries. Because lots of money has been spent by successive governments in the name of TAM without yielding result. See Excerpt...

In December 13, 2013 the FG constutited a steering committee to look into the privatisation process(in line with the Idika Kalu's Committee recommendation). According to the DG Bureau for Public Enterprises, Benjamin Dikki,

“The President has also approved the constitution of a steering committee on the privatisation process that involves all relevant stakeholder ministries and agencies.

The Steering Committee’s terms of reference would be to, among other things, advise the National Council on Privatisation (NCP) on the best way to privatise the refineries in a manner that would enhance the gains of the privatization programme of the Federal Government; review the diagnostic reports and recommendations of the transaction advisors and make recommendations to the NCP, propose modalities and make recommendations to NCP on labour matters to ensure the successful privatization of the refineries."

On December 18, 2013, the Labour spat fire threatened War because they were erroneously made to believe that the FG has approved "Sale of refinery"

“Our message is very clear; if between now and December 24, 2013, the government fails to cancel the planned privatisation of the refineries, we will wait for the Yuletide period to come and then mobilise between that time and the first week in January 2014; the entire oil and gas workers in Nigeria will go on a total strike and shut down the economy.”

On January 03, 2014 the FG came out to set the record straight that it hasn't authorised ANYONE to sale the refinery. According to spokesman Ruben Abati

“The Federal Government will not sell the refineries. There is no authorisation for anybody to do so; there is no presidential endorsement. Even the minister does not have the powers to sell government’s property,”

While the author of that thread made it look like the FG was thorn between privatisation and TAM, the truth is that the GEJ led FG was keen on mthe TAM (as explained above) and also working out modalities that will be acceptable to all stakeholders (including labout) with respect to refinery privatisation by setting up the Steering Committee to yield a permanent solution. Was this not commendable?

I want to enjoin Nigerrians to be very wary of reports from APC. We can't distort facts for politics. The records are there. GEJ inherited a dilapidated refineries and put it on the right path. Let us give honor to whom it is due.


May God Bless Us All (Amen)

You can only fool your minions with that trash.

Can you deny that Diezani last year increased oil swaps and OPA's from 270,000 bpd to 445,000 bpd at the same time repairs of the refineries were completed thereby starving the refineries?

Jonathan and co. sabotaged our refineries. Simple.

I really think barcanista is more valuable to PDP now than all the staff paid from the purse of that party

jmaine:


Right up there is the typical depraved mindset of an APC maggot . . . . . Am not remotely surprised

Demmocrats:
I agree with op but why during his time Nigeria importation of refined crude was so high and the corruption rate in that sector was so high which involved more than $20 billions stolen

Captainswag225:
why do i keep getting the feeling that barcanista is a top pdp politician operating under disguise on nairaland?

osimataylor:
Don't stress your self Lies and propaganda has become part and parcel of APC.Both at the national and states they control.You can imagine even when GMB had acknowledged the work of GEJ in this regard persons with myopic mindset are still blabing nonsense.when you start your foundation with lies you will continue to lie to cover up your lies.that's life's hack for you.To achieve this they domiciled a lot of their agents on social media platforms.But not all the people are fooled all the time.

anulaxad:


Get a life, GMB has won and this nation is moving ahead to greater prosperity and development.

With all the evidence out there on different national newspapers on the corruption of your GEJ and information from neighbouring and western countries it boggles my mind how you can still defend and praise the undefendable.

francizy:


I find it rather amusing when the likes of midolian and passingshot make kiddish statements like: the fear of Buhari revived the power sectors and fixed the refineries. Where has it ever been heard that the fear of someone built something? I find that statement rather uncalled for as these two peeps including others who supported their statements may be well over 30..

By the way, Buhari is presently riding on the goodwill of our economic destroyers and thus enjoying GEJ's layed down foundation. If he ever steps foot in a direction contrary to what his owners want, they will crumble his government within a twinkle of an eye..

firstEVA:
for where?
His future is bright though, provided he stops moving from party to party like a whöre
