atlwireles: Afenifere Petitions About PTF Projects & Marginalisation of Yorubas.
**Buhari allocated only 24% of the roads to the Southern, and the North has 76%. **health clinics, the South West has zero allocation, the North-100%. **old Kano and Lagos used to have the same number of divisions. Today Lagos is still the same, with 20 LGAs, while Kano has 2 states and 77 LGAs.
The Abacha regime created a parallel government through the Petroleum Trust Fund (PTF) headed by Major General Muhammed Buhari. Nothing else typifies the marginalization of the Yoruba than the lopsidedness of the projects carried out by the PTF. Figures from PTF Situation Reports (Vol. 2 Dec. 98) show that the PTF carried on as if there was no South West.
Of all the roads rehabilitated by the PTF, only 1984.5 kilometres of roads representing 10.84 per cent were carried out in the South West; from where the bulk of the PTF revenue came since the zone consumes over 60 per cent of refined petroleum products.
All the Southern States had 4,440.43 kms or 24 per cent of road rehabilitation as against 13,870.47 kms or 76 per cent in the Northern States zone three comprising the North-West States of Jigawa, Kaduna, Kano, Katsina, Kebbi, Sokoto and Zamfara had a lion share of 5020 kms or 27.42 per cent because the Fund’s Chairman, Buhari and the military dictator Sani Abacha were from there; zone four comprising the North-East States of Adamawa, Bauchi, Borno, Gombe, Taraba and Yobe picked 23.48 per cent. This is the zone where Salihijo Ahmed, the late Chief Executive of Afri-Project Consortium APC, the sole consultants that supervised all PTF projects came from.
Figures in other sectors were more scandalous. For instance, under the National Health and Educational Rehabilitation Programme (NHERP), the South West had zero allocation in the tertiary programme, while the North picked 100 per cent. In the vocational programme, the South West had zero while the North had 97 per cent. In the primary area, the South-West had zero against 88 per cent for the North and in the secondary area, it was zero for the South-West and 86 per cent for the North.
The health sector is similar. For the Teaching Hospitals, the South-West had zero while the North had 62 per cent. For the Specialist Hospitals, it was zero for the South-West and 71 per cent for the North; in General/State Hospitals the Yoruba had nothing while the North had 56 per cent for health clinics, it was zero for the South-West against the North’s 100 per cent.
Under the food supply summary, the Southwest had 7.26 per cent compared with 83 per cent for the North, Buhari’s zone having 60.54 per cent to itself.
Demographic Manipulation: The Northern wielders of power have skewed all demographic indicators to marginalise the Yoruba and confer undue advantage on the North.
For instance, while the old Kano and Lagos used to have the same number of divisions, various demographic manipulations over the years have brought about absurd disparities between the two states.
While the old Lagos remains a state with 20 local governments, the old Kano has become two states-Kano and Jigawa with 77 local governments. These are some of the indices used for revenue sharing. - submission of Afenifere to the Human Rights Violations and Investigation Commission.
Recent finding was that most of the contract money was collected by some big-wigs and the contracts were never executed. Majority of the funds were wasted in Consultants, that were relatively doing nothing. Today, there are no trace of any of these projects that trillions were allocated to.
We dnt believe money is missing in PTF,or a contractors went aawy with mob.fee or abandon contracts unless u shew us proofs of d missing money,giv us names of d acct nos:,name of contractor,statement of contractors accounts,list of pple arrested,tried & jail 4 embezzling PTF money,& d no: of yrs they are serving or even a copy of d court judgement signed,d name of d prison & copy of d jail criminals file & prison no: from yur finding.if u cnt provide d above then u are just trying 2 be mischievious,an incurable rumour monger.those so called nadeco yaruba dnt like meat(abacha) but want 2 drink pepper soup.

Which of the refinery is working 80%. No refinery in Nigeria is working up to 30%. Warri and Kaduna are having issue with their power generating plant since 2014 may. The two at PH are bad. Pls which refinery works at 80%. Yet we trade by barter 400k barrel of crude for refined fuel. Bro's tell ur self the truth sometimes.
I told you what I know...I sense your anger bro relax. I said people did I.T and they witness the production contrary to the assertion that they're not working at all. Well I graduated in November last year so if you say its not working since last May does not mean am a liar. Relax Brother. refineries are better left for the investors and the right policies should be put in place.

No refinery has worked at 80% since this administration. Just stop lying. If you insist tell us which of the refineries let's dig up production figures.

Since this administration means starting from 2011 so bring the figure,lets start with Kaduna refinery.

[b]Start with this: KRPC numbers in red. You did your internship in 2014. Nothing close to 80% in that period.:
“This month (September 2014), zero (0.00) mt of dry crude oil, condensate and slop was received by the three refineries, KRPC, PHRC and WRPC. The respective average capacity utilisation during the month was 0.00 per cent, 8.77 per cent and 0.00 per cent for KRPC, PHRC and WRPC respectively,” according to the report.
The Deputy Executive Director, Africa Network for Environmental and Economic Justice, Mr. Leo Atakpu, in a telephone interview with our correspondent, said, “Refineries are in comatose state such that we have to be importing fuel. It is a shame that we are importing petrol and others.
In August 2014, output from the country’s refineries dropped to 294,000 mt as they operated at an average of 16 per cent of their combined nameplate capacity of 445,000 barrels per day. The respective average capacity utilisation for KRPC, PHRC and WRPC during the month was 21.68 per cent, 15.79 per cent and 10.94 per cent respectively.
In July 2014, when the refineries operated at 22 per cent of their installed capacity, output was 334,000 mt. The average capacity utilisation for KRPC, PHRC and WRPC in the month was 19.40 per cent, 0.00 per cent and 46.71 per cent, respectively.
In June 2014, the refineries operated at 10 per cent of their installed capacity, with average capacity utilisation of 0.00 per cent, 17.96 per cent and 13.44 per cent respectively.
The country’s refineries have long been operating well below installed capacity as they are in different states of disrepair. They operated at an average of 31.1 per cent capacity in 2012, according to data from the Central Bank of Nigeria.[/b]

atlwireles: PTF Fraud: How N25 Billion was stolen under Buhari’s watch
The Petroleum Trust Fund was inaugurated by the Abacha administration in March 1995 and General Muhammadu Buhari was appointed to head the Fund which was formed sequel to the increase in the pump price of petrol to N 11 from N 3.25. The then Head of State, Gen Abacha had said then that the Fund was to distribute the gain from the increased price on social and infrastructural projects.
The Fund started work with an initial capital of about N60b in 1996 with a mandate that included the rehabilitation of roads and waterways, educational and health institutions, providing textbooks and stationery, procuring essential drugs and vaccines, providing water supply systems, reviving crumbling agricultural sectors, connecting outlying areas to the national electricity grid, extending railways and telecommunications and ensuring consistent food supply.
Buhari often referred to as Mai Gaskiya (the honest one) was apparently considered for the job mainly because of the qualities he possessed, with the Abacha led government feeling that would douse the tension generated by the increase in fuel prices. With time however, allegations started flying that the PTF was no more than another avenue for the Abacha administration to siphon funds.
On assumption of office in 1999, Chief Obasanjo disbanded the PTF. One of the discoveries made by the administration was that between its inception and July, 1999, the funds that accrued to the PTF stood at N 181 billion. It was also found out that the Consultants appointed by the Executive Chairman of the Trust Fund, Gen Buhari constantly fleeced the country of funds running into billions.
In 2000, the Obasanjo administration set up an Interim Management Committee to take a look into the affairs of the Petroleum (Special) Trust Fund and ascertain among other things, how much has been spent by the PTF so far and what is on ground to justify the huge expenditure. The Committee the set to work and accomplished all the terms of reference by March 2000. The Interim Management Committee submitted that:
Term of Reference No 1: The Interim Management Committee has already ascertained the total income that has accrued to PTF from its inception to date. The total amount that has accrued to PTF is N 181, 795, 000, 000 (One hundred and eighty one billion, seven hundred and ninety five million Naira). The report for the ascertainment of accrued income has been completed.
In my village Dipensary and maternity, there are still some bedsheets and pillows donated by PTF and PTF boldly written on them. Very quality materials
chinwike2: Nonsense, PTF under buhari did nothing in south-east ! Buhari is just a TRIBALIST ! !
May Amadioha punish for lying, Go to your Universities, general hospitals and ask your father and mother about what GMB did under PTF is they will be honest.
It is not just about understanding. Realise that GEJ's mismanagement time is up and vite Buhari. We need a new start for Nigeria.
Am voting for Goodluck I want Buhari to tell me himself about the said new start and how his own is better than Goodluck. See am done with trusting politicians oh forget that shit. Let him attend debate,follow due process like submiting his certificate or my vote is for the incumbent who has been bold enough to voice their transformation agenda. If am crying I should see too. A man that will come into office that may render the press powerless should not be trusted.
No mind them abeg....[/quote) He has d discretion 2 allocated d project as deem fit by Abacha,after all d SW didnt support,recognise,or see anything Good about Abacha,dem no like meat but won drink d pepper soup.Did GEJ did anything 4 S-S even otuoke has no costant electricity!
