The Federal Government’s daily spending on petrol subsidy may have risen to N2.06bn as the pricing template for the product by the Petroleum Products Pricing Regulatory Agency on Sunday put the subsidy at N51.61 per litre, the highest level this year. The landing cost of Premium Motor Spirit, otherwise known as petrol, was put at N123.12 per litre as of Thursday, June 11, up from N119.66 per litre on June 2, while the Expected Open Market Price was N138.61 per litre. Based on daily petrol consumption of 40 million litres, a figure supplied by the Pipelines and Products Marketing Company, the total subsidy cost on the product as of June 11 would amount to N2.06bn at N51.61 per litre, up from N48.15 on June 2. Subsidy refers to the money paid, usually by the government, to keep prices below what they will otherwise be in a free market system. Nigeria, which relies on importation for most of its fuel needs as the country’s refineries are in a poor state, has seen a drop in importation of refined petroleum products in recent months, leading to acute scarcity of the products across the country. The global benchmark Brent crude lost almost half of its value between June 2014 and January this year, plunging below $50 per barrel, but has rebounded in recent months. It traded between $63 and $65 last week. The landing cost of petrol was put at N75.15 per litre on January 23, with a subsidy of N3.64 per litre, almost a week after the Federal Government reduced the pump price of the product by N10 per litre. The landing cost is the cost of the product plus freight rate at N107.66; trader’s margin, N1.47; lightering expenses, N4.19; Nigerian Ports Authority fees, N0.77; financing cost, N1.68; jetty depot throughput charge, N0.8; and storage charge, N3. The addition of the distribution margins to the landing cost gives the Expected Open Market Price (total cost). The distribution margins, which comprise retailers, transporters and dealers’ profits as well as bridging fund, marine transport average and admin charges, were not stated. Retailers get N4.6; transporters, N2.99; dealers, N1.75; bridging cost is N5.85; marine transport average, N0.15; and the admin charge, N0.15. The sub-total margin stands at N15.49. When added to the landing cost of N123.12, the EOMP of N138.61 per litre is arrived at. But this is subsidised and a flat official rate of N87 per litre is given. The Federal Government had on January 18, 2015 announced the reduction in the pump price of petrol from N97 to N87 per litre, attributing this to the decline in global crude oil prices. There have been calls in many quarters on the government to fully deregulate the downstream sector of the oil and gas industry to encourage private investments in crude oil refining, as well as the privatisation of the nation’s existing refineries, which are working far below their installed capacities.

President Muhammadu Buhari on Saturday said he had directed that $21m out of the pledge of $100m which Nigeria made to the Multinational Joint Task Force be released within the next one week. Buhari disclosed this at the 25th AU summit in Johannesburg, South Africa. He chaired the Peace Security Council at the event. He said he gave the directive based on the decision of the recent extraordinary summit of the Lake Chad Basin Commission and Benin that $30m should be immediately made available to the MNJTF which is saddled with the responsibility of fighting Boko Haram. The President said although the sect had extended its reach to Nigeria’s neighbours, its activities were not limited to them because terrorism is a global phenomenon. He said the global nature of terror required all countries to act in partnership by waging war against agents of evil. He said, “I am pleased to note that Cameroon, Chad and Niger are already showing this attribute by fighting alongside Nigeria under the umbrella of the MNJTF to defeat Boko Haram. “In this regard, the member countries of the Lake Chad Basin Commission and Benin met recently where far-reaching decisions were taken to immediately put into operations the MNJTF. “To this end, the summit approved the immediate provision of $30m for the task force. “Consequently, out of the pledge of $100m which Nigeria made to the task force, I have directed that $21m be released within the next one week.” The President regretted that the continent was indunated with conflicts of diverse forms in Burkina Faso, Mali, Libya, Central Africa Republic, South Sudan, and more recently in Burundi. On the crisis in South Sudan and Burundi, Buhari regretted that the people were suffering while their political leaders were busy bickering. He stressed the need for leaders to always place the interest of their countries above narrow and personal interests. Buhari expressed the hope that the PSC would come out with a united message to call on all parties to act in the interest of their people and the entire continent. Calling for a change of the face of Africa, Buhari said leaders must deliver a continent “that is at peace with itself, prosperous, a global partner and a democratic showcase.” He however doubted the possibility of achieving the desired peace by 2020 as earlier planned by African leaders. The President added, “As you are aware in 2013 during the 50th anniversary celebration of our union, we as African leaders committed ourselves to the objective of silencing the local guns in Africa by 2020. “With just five years remaining, the prospect of realising this objective looks doubtful with pockets of violence in individual countries and the continent as a whole.” He said Africans were witnesses to the rampant destruction of homes, roads, communication lines, vital infrastructure and displacement of persons and loss of lives on the continent. This, Buhari added, is true of the North Eastern part of Nigeria where the country is dealing with the scourge of Boko Haram. The ongoing AU Summit is Buhari’s first continental assignment after he was inaugurated on May 29. He was accompanied to the event by the Ogun State Governor Ibikunle Amosun; Benue State Governor Samuel Ortom and a former Chief of Army Staff, Lt.-Gen. Abdulrahman Dambazau, among others. The President is expected back in the country on Tuesday. Source:www.punchng.com/news/buhari-orders-release-of-n4bn-to-fight-bharam/?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter |

Wife of the President, Mrs. Aisha Buhari, on Saturday evening warned politicians who may be picked to work with President Muhammadu Buhari and all his political associates to be careful the way they carry themselves. She said such people should be wary of the fact that it took her husband a journey of 12 years before getting to the position he currently occupies and hence, they should tread with caution. Mrs. Buhari handed down the warning during an “Appreciation Dinner” she hosted in honour of All Progressives Congress’ women and youths at the old Banquet Hall of the Presidential Villa, Abuja. She admitted that it was not former President Goodluck Jonathan that is bad but the people that surrounded him. She said it was because of that situation that she was warning those who will work with Buhari to know early enough that they are coming to serve the masses and not the President. Mrs. Buhari argued that the behaviour of the people around her husband would go a long way in defining his Presidency. She said, “There is nothing people did not say about the past administration. It is not Jonathan that is not good but the people around him. “So, the people that are going to be around General Buhari have to be very careful because this election ended peacefully. “We are praying and hoping that people around him should know that it took him 12 years to get to that position and they must know that they are coming to serve the masses, not General Buhari in person. “It is the people that are around him that will determine the political health of our state.” The President’s wife also promised that the current administration would run an open government. She said government under her husband would be run in clear departure from what was obtainable under Jonathan when people were allegedly asked to be paying huge amount of money in foreign currency before they could see the President or his wife. “I will like to inform you that in the past regime, whether it is true or false, only God knows, some people were going round and parading themselves as Personal Assistants. “If you wanted to see the First Lady, you will pay $30,000 or $50,000 and if you are seeing the President, you will pay all that you have gathered in your lifetime. “This will not happen in our regime. Whoever asks you to give a single penny in the name of coming to see the President or his wife is not our staff. He is not an APC member, it is a lie. Don’t be deceived,” she said. Taking a look at her husband’s 12-year journey towards returning as President, Mrs. Buhari said her active participation in the last electioneering made the difference. She said she did not take part in the campaigns of her husband’s first three shots at the Presidency because that was how those who surrounded him at that time wanted it. This time, she said it was a national leader of the APC and former Lagos State Governor, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, who encouraged her to play active role. She also faulted claims that made the rounds ahead of the elections on the gender-sensitivity of her husband, saying they were mere fabrications. Describing Buhari as the pillar of her success despite the generation gap between the two of them, she said it was the President who encouraged her to go to school. Mrs. Buhari said, “Many people did not know why I was not appearing for the last three campaigns. I appeared only this time and I think it made a lot of difference. A lot of people said my husband earned four million votes as a result of my campaign. “We were not sure but with the popularity of my husband, we thought then that he needed female support to cancel the all sorts of gender problems people have been attaching to him like that he kept me under a purdah. “He had never kept me under a purdah even for a moment since I got married to him. “Even now, by the recent campaigns, it was Bola Ahmed Tinubu who insisted that I should come out and support my husband. Not that I never like supporting my husband but it all depended on the people around him, that was before. “And now too, it is the people around him that showed that they wanted me to participate, we did and we have seen the difference. “My husband is a gender-sensitive human being, having so many girls as his own biological children and then having me as a wife, then you can see the generation gap. He allowed me to go to school. To cut the story short, he is the pillar of my success.” The President’s wife said when Tinubu continued pestering her to join the campaign train, she talked to her husband who gave his approval. She said she knew from the beginning that the campaign would not be easy, recalling that the greatest challenge she faced was security. She recalled how the wife of the governor of Zamfara State had told her how supporters of the Peoples Democratic Party stopped their convoy from returning to Gusau, the state capital up until 4am at a point. The President’s wife said she also had her own raw deal when she joined the campaign train to Ilorin, Kwara State capital. Those who attended the dinner included wife of the Vice President, Mrs. Dolapo Osinbajo; wife of the President of the Senate, Mrs. Toyin Saraki; wife of the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Mrs. Gimbia Dogara; wife of the National Chairman of the APC, Mrs. Victoria Odigie-Oyegun; wives of APC state governors, APC female deputy governors; wives of former governors on the platform of the party and other top officials of the party across the country. A national leader of the party, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, was represented by Senator Babafemi Ojudu.
