A consortium of indigenous oil refinery companies known as Ozza Joint Ventures Oil Field Limited is to start refining crude oil in Umuokwo, Ukwa West of Abia State with a whopping sum of $100 million.

The consortium, Millennium Oil and Gas Limited, Emerald Oil and Gas and Hardy Oil Nigeria Limited, said the group has so far spent about $1 billion on various tests that will spur the commencement of production.

Leader of the group, Andrew Uzoigwe, who disclosed this at the Executive Chambers of Government House when the group paid a courtesy visit to Governor Theodore A. Orji, hinted that the group was the first indigenous one to align with the Federal Government in the oil sector.

Uzoigwe said that during the period the group was carrying out tests, the atmosphere was not investor-friendly due to the activities of kidnappers. He however added that the situation was back to normal.

According to him, the group is on the verge of getting its flow station, adding that it has already signed a memorandum of understanding with the host communities.

He solicited the support of the governor, noting that the group still has challenges with the Nigeria Security and Civil Defense Crops and Mobile Police that have besieged its operational base Uzoigwe pleaded with the governor to prevail on the NSCDC operatives to vacate the base and also assist the group in the court case hanging on them as a result of communication gap.

“Now that we have finished the testing, we would like to go into commercial production so that the first product will be brought to you for us to showcase that indigenous companies can do better,” said Uzoigwe.

It would be recalled that NSCDC operatives arrested some staff of Ozza Joint Ventures Oil Field Limited for alleged illegal drilling of oil at Ukwa West barely a fortnight ago and charged them to court.

Governor Orji, in his response, however said if the organisation had earlier informed him of their activities in the state, nobody would have harassed them.

He said that initial information reaching his office alleged that the oil firm was operating illegally until recently when he found out that was not the case, pledging the readiness of his administration to partner with the investors.

Which plane flights are you taking about?

There were of thousands of Nigerians willing to leave early in the conflict and they were abandoned, newspaper reports are on page 1 and you can google for more.

Please show us evidence of these Many plane and ship evacuation that was "brought to pick them" in Libya besides the first few flights that picked Bash Ali and co.

Do you know how many Nigerians are in Libya? Some countries from far off continents evacuated tens of thousands, we evacuated tops 3k and you are saying "they should go and die jor" ?

Did you read the reports and others like it from CNN, NPR and co? You want to condemn poor migrant workers and absolve those with the resources and responsibility to help them. Those who ran away from their responsibility?


Of course I saw the video, the girl said she wants to leave Libya but will prefer to go to Europe, of course she will say that when Western journalist are there to curry sympathy, it's a reasonable thing to say considering their circumstances.

Do you know how Many Nigerians use assylum and persecution excuses to stay abroad? even in the US and Europe

What do you know about Nigerians who go to Libya? Many of them are in Libya so they can cross to europe, so if there is a window of opportunity to appeal for that, what do you expect her to say?

You want her to appeal to a government that denied they are attacked? A government that abandoned people like her at the Tripoli airport while other countries rescued their own people. will you trust them after?

What choice did the Nigerian government give her, did you see a plane or ship parked beside her? Wha the eff is wrong with you?


Are you a migrant worker?

Have you ever left your home out of despair and frustration to seek work in a foreign land? Knowing you have nothing to return to.

Have you crossed the Desert barefooted with little food before?

The girl only said that to appeal for UN help on camera, she knows that is more possible and obviously she is correct.

Did they turn down rescue?  [/quote]before you start publishing trash from vanguard, tune in to Aljazeera live and listen to the interview granted to the small pockets of Nigerian community left behind in Libya. They said THEY WANT UNITED NATION not the NIGERIAN GOVERNMENT.

The lady spokes person said NIGERIA IS NOT SAFE FOR THEM.

They should remain there till Ban Ki Moon sends help.

eunisam:
Just imagin if u were in their shoes! Imagin if your elder brother is the one being interviewed! I feel pity for this guys cos they left this green country for a greener country,now there is now coming back or staying in peace.may God rescue them!

Before you start feeling pity listen to the commentary and interview first.

The idiots said Nigeria is not safe for them. they can rot in the seaport for all i care

I cease to blame the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

I don't really think they're in dire danger! can you imagine the thrash that young woman was talking?   "We want the United nations to help us, we don't want assistance from the Libyan authority and our country (Nigeria) is not safe anymore"

Mtchew! her suffering never begin! make them dey there joor!

i hereby order the SSS to release the footage of the UN bombing from the camera phone mounted at the UN entrance gate. That will help the investigation decisively.

what business do you have in Nairobi? isn't that suppose to be your focus? or are you one of those "clueless" immigrants?

No employer will take a pregnant at the time of employment.
Don't blame them, maybe you need to understand that nobody will be willing to spend money on a near-redundant resource. It might appear alittle harsh but that is reality.
I cannot employ you, put you on a salary and then after two months you apply for a 6 week maternity leave. NOO! it doesnt work that way.

my biggest problem is that google search can penetrate posts. I was shocked to see that whenever i type my ID on google, all my nairaland updates go just show. I work in a sensitive sector and am just scared because i keep messing around on NL now, i wouldnt want to get any paparazzi poke-nosing into what i do in my spare time. SEUN, better do something o. i need to delete a particular account

why can't some people do a simple research by themselves, for pete sake you have the internet!!

@choose4me this, @choose4me that. Honestly some of the questions here are plain silly. You can't even browse for schools and courses yet you want to travel abroad for education. nawa o!

FBI takes over investigations, sidelines Police, SSS

OPERATIVES of the United States’ domestic intelligence agency, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, have taken over the investigations of Friday’s bombing of the UN building in Abuja.


Sources told THE PUNCH that the FBI agents probing the bombing had sidelined investigators from the Nigeria Police and the State Security Service.


A source in one of the security agencies, who requested anonymity, said the takeover had the support of the Federal Government. The source added that the government might have lost confidence in the Police, SSS and other security agencies for their alleged failure to halt the bombings in the country.


At least 18 people died in the bombing of the UN building last Friday. The violent Islamic sect, Boko Haram, has claimed responsibility for the attack which attracted condemnation worldwide.


Although a few members of the police intelligence unit were said to be part of the investigation of the latest bombing in the federal capital territory, our correspondents gathered that the nation’s security agencies had indeed been asked to take the back seat.


Our correspondent gathered that there was grumbling among the top security and intelligence officers who felt “embarrassed and ridiculed” by the development.


Top security agents in the country also believed that the FBI’s efforts were bound to achieve little “due to the unfamiliar terrain and peculiar Nigerian environment.”


A senior police officer who spoke to our correspondent on Sunday attributed their skepticism to the failure of the foreign experts to provide tangible clues to past bombings in the country which they also investigated.


“FBI operatives and other foreign experts have been taking part in investigations into the bombings in the country from the October 1, 2010 incident to the June 16, 2011 Force Headquarters blast. Yet, they have not been able to provide any useful lead that could help us to apprehend the masterminds.


“Remember that after the two incidents, the team gathered some evidence from the blast scene which they took to their labs in the United States, but nothing has been heard about the result of the analyses till date,” the police officer said.


The security chief explained that the results of forensic analysis usually did not take more than 24 hours, adding that the nation’s security agencies had been kept in the dark since then.


On the speculation that the security agencies had advance warning of the bombing, the police officer said he was not aware, but added that security agencies would have foiled it if it was true that they had advance warning.


The Force Public Relations Officer, Olusola Amore, declined to comment on the development. He said he was on leave. When contacted, the FCT Police Public Relations Officer, Moshood Jimoh, also declined to speak on the investigation, stressing that releasing information might jeopardize the ongoing probe.


When asked if the investigators had traced the owner of the car that was used for the bombing, he said, “All I can tell you is that we are making progress in the investigation. I can’t reveal anything now because it may jeopardise investigations, but we have opened information desks at the UN building and Transcorp Hilton Hotel to help members of the public seeking information on their missing relatives and loved ones.”


The UN attack came on the heels of series of bomb attacks by Boko Haram which claimed to be fighting for the institution of Sharia, in the country.


Founded in 2002, the sect has been engaged in a bombing campaign targeted at hurting the Federal Government and its agencies. On June 16, a lone bomber suspected to be an operative of the sect attacked the Abuja headquarters of the Police. The lone bomber and one policeman died in the attack while 70 vehicles were either burnt or destroyed.


Boko Haram had also carried out a series of bombings in Maiduguri, Borno State, where the sect was founded, and in a number of Northern cities, attacking police facilities, military barracks and drinking joints.


On Sunday, in a release, INTERPOL Secretary General Ronald K. Noble condemned the attack. He offered to issue the organisation’s colour-coded international notices to alert law enforcement around the world about the attackers’ modus operandi, to obtain additional information about individuals in relation to the investigation, and to seek the arrest of persons wanted in connection with the attack.


Meanwhile, Senator Babafemi Ojudu has said in Ado-Ekiti, Ekiti State on Sunday that the nation’s security agencies lacks the intelligence capacity to halt Boko Haram attacks.


Ojudu said it was worrisome that security agencies were always taken unawares on every occasion that the sect had attacked the country.


The Senator who described the attack on the UN building as an affront to the international community, asked the Ministry of Defence to sit up and justify the increase in its allocation.


He said, “It has become a pattern for authorities and security agencies to threaten fire and brimstone after attacks, but so far no meaningful progress has been made.


“Security agencies should focus their efforts on preventing attacks on effective intelligence gathering in a bid to prevent the attacks; waiting for attacks to occur before swinging into action is a clear vote of no confidence on the ability of security agencies.”
