The Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR), Oyo and Osun field office has sealed off more than 50 petrol stations in Ibadan and environs for hoarding and selling the product above government approved price.

It has also embarked on aggressive disposal of the product at filling stations that are creating artificial scarcity in different parts of the state.

Notably, a filling station allegedly belonging to a former senator from Oke Ogun part of the state was among those sealed off by the DPR.

Another belonging to a former governor from Ogbomosho, which was sealed off few weeks back was also one of those compelled to reverse its sales to government approved price during the inspection

Meanwhile, it was a bad day for many marketers as no fewer than 50 filing stations who were found to be hoarding petroleum and kerosene, and noted to be planning to sell at odd times at exorbitant prices were also sealed off in different parts of the state

Many petroleum marketers across the state have been cashing in on the masses by selling the product at prices far above the government regulated prices while only few major marketers selling at the official prices experienced massive crowd with many people spending more than ten hours on queue to get the product.

Investigation revealed that, the product in the last few days in major parts of the state sold between N120 and N150 per litre.

Same could be said of kerosene which now sells between N95 and N100 per litre.

Some of the filling stations where the enforcement took place in Ogbomosho are: TDB global venture limited, allegedly belonging to a former governor of the state, Modern Options, Isale General, Ballah Plus, Sabo, Rubbie oil, Stadium road, Musalat Intergrated Resources Nigeria limited and Saajad Resourses Nigeria limited.

The few marketers selling at government approved prices during the inspection were also supported in ensuring orderliness and promptness in the sales by officials of the department who were stationed by the team lead.

Conoil and Oando both around Eleyele were some of the places the intervention of the officials of the DPR helped save the day when the massive crowd made selling of the products difficult for the sales attendants.

Some of those sealed off Thursday in Ibadan also include: Prolek Molete for selling at N130 per litre and not willing to reverse sales, Alleluyah Oil, Idi-Arere, allegedly owned by a former senator in the state, for selling at  N140 per litre and Oando, Oritamefa for hoarding the product.

Engineer Olakunle Ogunlana, Operations Controller, Oyo and Osun Field office who spoke through Mr. Sadiq Ibrahim, deputy manager (operations) said the effort is to cushion the pain fraudulent marketers’ subjected members of the public to for pecuniary gains.

Ogunlana said: “it is unfair how some few people unduly take advantage of millions of other people just to make selfish gains. This scarcity is making things difficult for members of the public despite government intervention.

“We will not rest until we ensure that they (independent marketers) do what is right in the interest of Nigerians. We will not allow them rubbish government efforts.”

He however called on the marketers to show patriotism in discharging and running their business interest as government is doing enough to make the product available across the country.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission on Wednesday arrested eight persons including consultants and contractors of the Presidential Amnesty Programme, PREMIUM TIMES can report.

The eight suspects were arrested in connection with multi-billion naira contract scam allegedly perpetrated by the Kingsley Kuku-led Presidential Amnesty Office.

Mr. Kuku was a Senior Special Adviser to former President Goodluck Jonathan on the Federal Government Amnesty in the Niger Delta.

Some of those arrested in connection with the scam include Kanmi Adediran, Tumo Yetunde and Collins Omokhojie.

Others are Oluboye Adedokun, Ugala Jaachinma, Olukoya Olusegun Godwin, Oyinmi-ebi Bribena and Olukayode Raimi.

A source from the commission who could not be named because he was not authorised to speak on the matter said the suspects were taken into custody in the early hours of Wednesday.

“The suspects were taken into custody early today and are still being quizzed by a team of operatives our headquarters,” said the source.

“The arrests were made in continuation of the investigation of the tenure of Kingsley Kuku as head of Amnesty office.”

Mr. Kuku has been out of the country ostensibly on medical grounds since news of the investigation broke.

Although the specific details of their infraction could not be ascertained by this newspaper, it was, however, learnt that the Amnesty office was being investigated over contract scam running into billions of naira.

It was further learnt that most of the companies that got contracts and huge mobilisation fees from the Amnesty Office failed to carry out the terms of such contracts.

PREMIUM TIMES learnt that in some of the cases, over 95 percent of the contract value was paid the contractors, without anything on ground to show for the funds.

It is also being alleged that most of the contracts did not follow due process.

Meanwhile, a Kano-based group, National Security Watchdog, called for the extradition of Mr. Kuku from the United Kingdom to face charges terrorism.

In a letter signed by Yakubu Ahmed and Oladapo Ogunaike and dated November 24, the group, relying on Section 174(1) of the 1999 Constitution, urged the Attorney General of the Federation to initiate proceedings to extradite Mr. Kuku.

The group claimed there was incontrovertible evidence linking the former amnesty chief to terrorist acts and illegal stockpiling of arms.

The Federal Government has announced the establishment of an Efficiency Unit (E-Unit) to monitor its agencies and ensure that all expenditures are necessary and represent the best possible value for money.

This is contained in a statement issued by the Director, Press, Federal Ministry of Finance, Mr Marshall Gundu, on Wednesday in Abuja.

It stated that the E-Unit was domiciled at Federal Ministry of Finance and was expected to review all government overhead expenditure, to reduce wastage, promote efficiency and ensure quantifiable savings for the country.

It said the E-Unit would work across all Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) to identify and eliminate wasteful spending, duplication and other inefficiencies.

It was also expected to identify best practices in procurement and financial management and share such knowledge with the MDAs to ensure its adoption.

“Findings of the Efficiency Unit will be formally communicated accordingly and will be enforced through establishment of expenditure guidelines, undertaking follow-up reviews and spot checks.

“Other measures that will ultimately checkmate wastage across all areas of Federal Government expenditure will also be adopted.’’

According to the statement, the development is based on the fact that presently, the nation’s recurrent expenditure completely dwarfs capital expenditure by a ratio of 84/16.

“ This includes non-wage related overhead expenditure such as travel costs, entertainment, events, printing, IT consumables, stationery.

“ As at September 2015, the entire capital expenditure was just N194 billion while overhead expenditure was N272 billion.

“This scenario is considered unsustainable and at variance with the current administrations resolve to reform the economy and reduce the cost of governance,’’ it stated.

It stated that the committee would be chaired by the Finance Minister, Mrs. Kemi Adeosun, and other members would be drawn from both public and private sectors.

Other members of the committee include the Head of Service of the Federation, Accountant-General of the Federation, Auditor-General of the Federation and Director, Budget Office of the Federation.

Ms Patience Oniha, a Director at the Debt Management Office, had been named the Project Leader of the unit.

According to the statement, members of the Supervising Committee have agreed to donate their time without fees as their contributions to making government more efficient.
