President Muhammadu Buhari has directed that 113 crude oil vessels should be banned from doing business in 27 oil terminals of the Nigerian territorial waters.

Group General Manager, Crude Oil Marketing Division, Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), Gbenga Komolafe, conveyed the directive of the president via a memo dated July 15, 2015.

A copy of the memo made available to Premium Times states that the vessels are henceforth prohibited from engaging in crude oil and gas loading activities in any of the terminals in Nigerian territorial waters.

Copies of the memo signed by Komolafe were addressed to all terminal operators: Director of the Department of Petroleum Resources; Director General, Nigerian Maritime Administration & Safety Agency, and the Comptroller-General of the Nigeria Customs Service, mandating them to effect the directive immediately.

The motive for the ban was however, not stated in the memo but Premium Times gathered that it may not be unconnected with certain discrepancies between the volume of crude oil lifted by the affected vessels from various Nigerian terminals and the volume eventually discharged abroad to buyers.

The source explained further that NNPC discovered huge discrepancies between the volume of crude oil lifted from Nigeria by these vessels and what they actually delivered to customers abroad.

There is a speculation that these vessels engage in high level of connivance to steal crude oil.

The affected vessels include MV Eliza, with international maritime organisation registration, IMO, No. 9387578, MV Happines (No. 9212905); MV Progress (No. 9180152), MV New Harmony (No. 963207); MV Cosgrace Lake (No. 9294587) and MV Plata Glory (No. 9172674).

Others are MV Humanity (No. 9180281); MV Scf Shanghai (No. 9325968); MV Tenyo (No. 9222443); MV Astro Challenge (No. 9237072); MV Maran Thetis (No. 94214427); MV BW Bauhinia (No. 9315070); MV Dream (No.9356893); MV Xin Dan Yag (No. 96140048) and MV Desim (No. 9395305).

in my own opinion, here is an idea @ birth, someone can come up with the logistics for the product development that's will suit a target market. Logistics Sir.

my brother it wont work that way. ok let me give u an i dea of what im saying, natural fruit is the new trend in the market, from a research i read, it cost 100k$ to purchase a full production machine from china that will peel , squeeze, filter and package an orange. you know that business idea can become a reality once you have the cash, what will be left is importation cost of machine, sourcing of oranges, nafdac and factory. so my point now is how can we add value to fish products and what will be the cost

Yommiefish:
We Are talking marketing and logistics here. What's Agribusiness without You! Actually, we are the one that needs you for the plan.

That is like the last phase.what is needed now is product development, what are we going to market? who is our market target, what are the competitors not offering that will differentiate our products? so over to you

.

In management there is what we call culture identity, dress code in any organisation has several advantages

1. it gives an identity (branding)( dont be surprise that its not only about what you wear , companies go as far as choosing colours of what you should wear)

2. its helps separate business from leisure( the way you dressed will determine how you are been addressed)

3. Its also shows a level of discipline.

4. It identifies different professions without even interaction. ( i know a police man or a soldier through uniforms.

There are other reasons but this should do

Butterfies think themself birds. So ur still on the 1k recharge card level...sorry bro, I got to run along. Ur poverty is infectious!

That's not even the point. you cant mention your fathers name ! yet you call a president of over 200million people a dullard. I can proudly mention my fathers name and its well known and respected in my state and beyond yet i will accept Buhari is a great man. All you local razz children that just hide behind the internet world .

Editor1:
With ur Buhari as a father, am as good as an orphan. Am the son of a great man. not a zoo President!

can we know who your father is then? if he's recognized in just your local government i promise to load your phone with 1k of any network of your choice.

@The mention of PMB 'name the system is working

Yommiefish:
Very insightful of you sir. But most importantly is the opportunity this development presented. For instance, smoked catfish has taken the market by storm, am also aware we now export smoked fish to Europe and others. I see another world of opportunity that I believe people cannot afford to wait for but to dive in. And you and I should see it that way and not just wait for some 'stakeholders'. We are the stakeholders sir. Thanks

.. well i appreciate your thoughts and its really sad we haven't exploited the big market in Nigeria, most agric produce/live stocks have been straight from rhe source to the consumer . There is a big market for value added services, product development and preservations. I will like to be part of this if you can come up with a plan. I'm new in farming/live stock buisness but experienced in management,marketing and logistics .

Yommiefish:
You are free to suggest one.

well with what i read i believe its a product development, which is to start making local canned fish (i.e sardines) a platform should be opened for interested investors , the truth is that there will always be enough supply of fish and once the project is up and running all other stakeholders will form a network automatically.

with all this grammar i dint see any link or contact of how the stakeholders will come together

oga David thanks for the Idea and willingness to help but I don't understand why you blocked on Whatsapp for saying I wanna go through the link you sent me this night and make a decision tomorrow. I was a bit concerned the manner you made look like I'm playing around. anyways I hope you'd answer me when I contact you tomorrow

The david has attitude problem, i dont know how a successful business man will not have good customer relationship. just a simple question on whatsapp and he responds with his blog link like you are relating with a computer. I've deleted him anyway, any other serious agent here should please quote me so we can exchange contacts. I have a loose 500k i can invest . Please make sure you are in nassarawa and i can drive down and meet you.

bros12345:
All this in a bid to give GEJ a bad name. Someone needs to tell you guys that we know better. Please tell your illiterate oga at the to get to work and stop looking for who to blame for failures.

Remove bros from your name abeg, bros they always show wisdom when they speak. was it buhari that appointed senator henshaw?

Dont try and convince a tanoid about this administration. let them display foolishness at will, they have no choice than to live in bitterness until 2019.

fayose has forgotten fayemi left the seat for him a few months back... All Ekiti's blue print will still be fresh in fayemi's possession. Pdp and tanoids are just far from the word intelligence

i need someone in abuja

Tbagwell1:
Budget btw 200-250 naira per fish till maturity, 70% of ds is on feeds alone, selling depends on d current price in your location which usually varies. From 450 -600 per kg.

Do all those market women buy per kg too?

April07:
You think . lol. I got it all.. Save for Victual had to pause and look at it well..
There are no strange words in the piece.
I consider it a tongue twister..

The only way you can get it all is if you are familiar with the words , but pronouncing some for the first time will be impossible. what sounds right in your ears doesn't mean u got the pronunciation

agabaI23:
Until I hear you say them.
I will spare you if you are a brit

Beautiful poem

even a brit cant get it all, some of those words needs to be pronounced with French/latin/greek intonation

robonski15:

Tbagwell1:
