Africa’s richest man and owner of Dangote Group, Alhaji Aliko Dangote has said that ongoing $17 billion Gas pipeline, fertiliser, petrochemicals and refineries project at the Lekki Free Trade Zone (LFTZ), Lagos, would provide unhindered availability of petrol in the country.

He pointed out the the Gas pipeline when completed would also generate power for the country. Dangote, who took the Vice President, Prof Yemi Osinbajo SAN, and a host of dignitaries round the facility, added that the Gas pipeline would increase revenues to government, increase demand for domestic crude Petroleum of petrochemicals and foreign exchange from exports. He asserted that the Gas pipeline site is the largest industrial site in the world and there is an extremely good relationship with the community.


“This Gas pipeline sight is eight times the size of Victoria Island. It was designed to process a large variety of crudes, including all the African crudes, a range of Middle Eastern crudes and US crudes. The refinery has flexibility to convert kerosene to jet/diesel,” he added

Dangote noted that his business policy is not solely for profit making but to make Nigerians happy, saying “I am a proud Nigerian. I do not own even a 9inch block outside Nigeria. When I travel, I stay in a hotel”. He stated that for instance, “Dangote cement, if we take it to Ghana, we will make N500 on each bag, but we didn’t do that.

We (Dangote Group) are attacking the economy with a policy of no more import, which will create jobs. We are suffering today because we have not diversify the economy of Nigeria.” Expressing satisfaction over the ongoing Gas pipeline, Vice President Osinbajo, said the project will supply three billion cubic feet of gas daily and had the potential of solving the problem of electricity shortage which had plagued the nation for decades. According to him, the investment as a whole was an incredible industrial project being the largest and the most ambitious in Africa and possibly the entire world. Addressing journalists after a two-hour presentation on the entire project, Osinbajo described the Gas pipeline as a major asset for the country, if it can be done. “For me, that is the most important project that could be done in this country. It will be a major boost for industrial development,” he stated. Osinbajo explained that the sub-sea installation, estimated at N500 billion, would go all the way from Bonny in Rivers State through Ogedegbe, Olokola to Lekki and Escravos Lagos pipeline and then West Africa Gas Pipeline

Talking about securing the refinery, Osinbajo said the pipeline the was installed under the sea. “It is a subsea project. It is fortified and goes into the sea. It is not what anybody can go there and vandalise with the way it is designed. It is designed to prevent vandalisation. It is designed very deep into the sea,” the vice president maintained. Osinbajo opined that at the completion of the Gas pipeline, it is meant to refine 650,000 barrels per day. He said, “By all projection, it is the largest in the world. It has a petro-chemical plant. It also has fertilizer plant, which is projected to be the largest in the world. “The refinery will take off in the first quarter of 2019. I think the sub-sea gas pipeline,

which is very important project, is meant to take off in 2018. “The gas pipeline project there. It is an incredible industrial undertaking. It is possibly the largest and the most ambitious on the continent today. It is truly inspiring” Dignitaries that accompanied Osinbajo to the refinery site are the Minister of Solid Minerals, Dr. Kayode Fayemi; Minister of Works, Power & Housing, Mr. Babatunde Fashola (SAN); Minister of Industry, Trade & Investment, Mr. Okechukwu Enelamah; Minister of Finance, Mrs. Kemi Adeosun and former Ekiti State Governor, Otunba Adeniyi Adebayo among others.

Alexander Ezenagu lived in a one-room boy’s quarter with his parents and eight siblings. His parents could barely cater for all of them, so four of his siblings dropped out of school almost at the same time. To keep himself in school at Bolade Grammar School, Oshodi and buy the books he needed in school, he had to hawk petty items, wash cars and clothes, carry luggage and run errands to earn money.

Alex confesses that he had not always been so committed to his school work and remembers an occasion while in primary six, when his class teacher called him aside and scolded him strongly following his poor performance in an English dictation test. It was obvious he was letting too much play and other distractions get in the way of his performance in school. She recounted that he used to do better while in primary four, chiding him to always remember that being the best wasn’t about wishing but working towards it. He recalls that this experience was one of those times when he had to consciously decide to devote more time to improving his school work and commit to study every evening after running his daily errands.

[b]By the time he got to SS3, he was pronounced the best student in his school, and was selected to represent the school at the regional qualifiers of the 2004 Spelling Bee Competition organized by the New Era Foundation, a project of the former First Lady of Lagos State, Senator Oluremi Tinubu. He won and then had to represent Oshodi-Isolo Local Government Area at the state challenge, where he contested against 56 others and came third position in the contest. Although he was not the overall winner, his position still got him on to the “Council of One Day Governors”

In 2005, he was admitted into the University of Ibadan to study law. It was an uphill struggle to survive in school due to his family’s financial hardship. In order not to drop out of school at this stage, he began conducting extra tutorial classes in different courses for both his classmates and other students, in exchange for money. He graduated with a First Class honours in 2010. Impressed by his success, Senator Oluremi Tinubu led a high-profile delegation to celebrate his graduation. Although filled with joy, he was still very concerned that he might not make it to the next level of the ‘Law School’ because of the high cost of tuition for the programme.

Surprisingly for Alex, his Law School bill was totally paid by the organizer of the New Era Foundation and his maintenance was covered by a scholarship scheme established by the former chairman of Oshodi-Isolo Local Government Area, Hon. Afeez Ipesa-Balogun. Alex in gratitude for this made himself a personal promise, not to relent in his effort, but study as hard as he could.

In 2011, Alex did it again; he graduated with a First Class at the Lagos Law School and was called to the Nigerian Bar. His life’s journey had always been the such that he was hardly ever sure where the resources for his next step would come from, but he always just got himself prepared for the journey despite his situation.

Alex 2In December 2011, at the third reunion luncheon of the Council of ‘One-Day Governors’ organised by the New Era Foundation in Lagos, Alex being one of the past governors by virtue of coming third at the spelling bee competition, got a car gift from Senator Oluremi Tinubu, which was presented to him by Mrs Fashola. He also got to work at the law offices of Banwo and Ighodalo, a leading Nigerian law firm; where he was an integral member of the Finance, Projects and Infrastructure team and has been involved in local and cross-border legal advisory services.

Subsequently, he was admitted into the University of Cambridge for his Master’s degree in 2013, on scholarship and in June 2014 he was presented with his Masters of Law degree by the president of the University of Cambridge. He currently works with a Law firm called ‘Templars’. He has extensive experience advising in the areas of project finance, structured finance, corporate finance and securities law. His areas of expertise include Banking and Finance, Capital Markets, Mergers and Acquisition, Projects and Infrastructure, and International Tax Law.[/b]

Despite the fact that Alex was from a family that could not support his education, he did all he could to make the best of his situation and did not allow his background determine his fate. Paying attention to his academic work meant that he was prepared when the opportunity was presented to take part in the spelling competition which he won and the subsequent scholarship opportunities that he has benefited from thus far.

Alex is under 30 years old and he believes that there is so much more that God has for him to achieve. One of the ways he is giving back to society is with mentoring younger people. He believes that prayers matched with proper preparation is what keeps one in line for appropriate opportunities. He actively shares his story and journey so far with young people to motivate them for success. He is also partnering with some of his colleagues in the United Kingdom to establish an organization called “The Excellence Movement”, to spread the message of excellence in Nigerian Universities. The primary areas of focus of the organization include: research, writing, reading, scholarship and mentoring.

In Alexander Ezenagu’s words, “Start from somewhere and start now!!! Start from that homework, that subject, that course, that class, that school, then get up to being the best even in that state and the sky will never be your limit

Smartjeezy:
Obidient tell me where you from and I will show you some dirty places from the cave you come from...Isi monkey anumanu!
That place is ancient part of oshogbo.
First class mumu

forray:
Like I said no need wasting my breath on someone who is so bigoted like u. Once u speak about this government, u are a supporter of pdp. I never said Buhari shld change Nigeria for better overnight.....but mister man, a year plus is more Dan Enuf for a government who is ready to work to start having positive influences on its citizens and deep down within urself.... U know the country is worst off. U wld bring up ur lame excuses of the money was looted and I am asking u if this government hasn't been making more Dan Enuf to help reduce the suffering on its citizens? If not, what have dey been doing?

No body wld be so sadistic and start talking ill of what is actually working. If u want to see the failure of this government, move out of ur comfort zone and see people suffering. Instead of hiding behind ur phone to justify rubbish.

You are here talking about the availability of fuel, at what cost? U will hail the removal of subsidy, what was Buhari take on subsidy back den? Be sincere to urself Pls.

When people u never imagine start calling for assistance, den you know what's up.

And Pls stop posting those rubbish link just like the current media corruption fight. Comot for internet small, leave ur TV and other propaganda outlet, go out and see the reality on ground.

Nigeria no get money, Nigeria no get money, but the executive, legislative and judiciary arms of government gets their bogus monthly pay and allowance without . But when it comes to reducing hardship from the masses, the country is broke.... Same old same old.

In sincerity, Buhari doesn't not need so much to convince right thinking people that he is for real. All he has to do is show he is doing things different for the way they are normally done, same sets of thieving politicians in his cabinet, same budget of fraud like in the past and u are here expecting a different result. U havent learnt a single thing from ur past.

This is my last reply to u, like I said before, even if the truth is standing right in front of u, ur bigotry and hypocrisy won't allow ur recognize it. People like u who thinkings Nigeria is all about APC and Pdp wld be the downfall of this administration and for ur infor, 4yrs is around the corner. I was a staunch critics of the past government and I don't see anything that is been done differently here.

Where are the thousands of people? Show them or shut up

So, anyone who doesn't agree with your thoughtless political point of view must be an iPob? Your upside down manner of reasoning is a disgust personified.

Do all you can, fayemi is a goner forever in ekiti. The people prefer a governor that is free with them and not a foreigner-governor

achieverme:
So, all the foreigner-governor did was to hand over some few cheques? And you call that an achievement? No wonder he was kicked out by the people. Your value system is faulty if you call that an achievement.
And for your information, I am a son of ekiti in all ramifications.

achieverme:
Beneficiaries on paper or beneficiaries in reality? Show me the list of just 20 beneficiaries

achieverme:
So, how many ekiti people did your fayemi touch their lives? Maybe none.

I learnt your fayemi wasn't even residing in ekiti government house when he was governor; he was more or less a governor in exile. He was ruling ekiti from another state.

If that is your idea of leadership, then yours is an upside down idea.

Fayose is a governor the people can see, a governor they can relate with.

Do you realise that many people in ekiti have fayose's phone number?

How many people have fayemi's phone number? Maybe none.

As far as they are concerned, fayemi is a foreigner. He was not a governor of the people; he was a goveror of the elite. And unfortunately for him, the elite represent a minute percent of the populace.

Fayemi Signs Social Security Bill To Law As Beneficiaries Hits 20,000


Ekiti State Governor, Dr Kayode Fayemi, Friday signed the Social Security bill into law, even as he restated that the decision of his administration to take care of the elderly citizens was borne out of genuine concern for their welfare in view of the harsh economic condition in the country.


Fayemi who lauded the effective coordination of the scheme, which has led an increase in the number of beneficiaries from 10,“To some skeptics at the time, this was just a vote catching gimmick of a typical opportunistic and desperate politician. Even to genuine admirers, the realization of this dream was unfathomable given the limited resources available to our State. Now that the goal is realized, it is the beginning of the fulfillment of our campaign promise to provide for our elderly in their old age,” he said.
