The TCN in a statement signed by its General Manager, Public Affairs, Mrs. Seun Olagunju, said the achievement was recorded on Wednesday, August 5, 2015.

It explained that the previous record of 99,450MWH was attained on October 31, 2014 and that the new feat was achieved with the supervision of its management contractor, Manitoba Hydro International (MHI).

It said MHI had articulated short, medium and long terms grid expansion plans aimed at growing and sustaining improvement in the nation’s transmission grid.

It added that the new record of 101,088MWH was in line with its grid expansion plan and that being able to comfortably wheel the maximum energy ever moved along the nation’s transmission line indicates the networks growing capability to evacuate even more energy in the system.

Cotonou – President Muhammadu Buhari has said that Boko Haram will be defeated hopeful by end of this year.

Buhari spoke in Cotonou on Saturday during a gala lunch held in honour by the President of Benin Republic, Boni Yayi.

He expressed optimism that the Multi-national Joint Task Force, MNJTF launched in Cameroon on Thursday would start yielding fruits soon.

This is as Yayi who described his country as the 37th State of Nigeria assured president Buhari that 800 troops would be contributed to the Joint Task Force by his country in the all-out-assault on insurgents.

While commending the gesture by Yayi, Buhari said “and I assure you that we will defeat Boko Haram by the end of this year”.

President Buhari who was on a one-day official visit to Cotonou as the special guest of honor at the 55th independence anniversary of Benin Republic was bestowed with the national honor of the Republic of Benin.

Nigeria’s president recalled that both countries have maintained peace over the years even when he was a military Head of State.

He said: “I am impressed by your concern and critical approaches by increasing your contributions to the multinational task force of the Lake Chad Commission. This is a great sacrifice on the part of the Benin Republic….

“Even in my first coming into office under a different arrangement, we have learnt to live in peace with our neighbors. Within the week I was sworn in, I went to Niger, Chad. I was supposed to go to Cameroon but I was summoned by the G7 leaders to brief them about the security situation in Nigeria concerning Boko Haram which declared allegiance to ISIS which gives it international dimension”.

d fear of buhari... is d begining of sickness

barcanista:
What's the meaning of this rubbish? I don't think Buhari understand how democracies work. Someone should tell Buhari that DSS job isn't to monitor petrol stations. Their job is domestic intelligence gathering. There is Department for Petroleum Resources (DPR) that is statutorily tasked for this role.

Someone should teach Buhari oooooo

u no get mouth... go and tell him now

wailing wailers... make una carry una shameless mouht come hear come yarn trash as usual

*Operators to forfeit subsidy claims for misdemeanor

By Clara Nwachukwu

The Department of State Services, DSS, may have taken over the job of monitoring downstream petroleum distribution and marketing, as part of the President Muhamadu Buhari’s measures to stem the high level of corruption in subsidy claims.

Consequently, retail outlets found selling any petroleum product above the prescribed government price will be immediately shut down, while any depot selling above the ex-depot price will have to forfeit the subsidy claims on the cargo that brought in the product.

The move followed the apparent inability of the industry regulators, the Department of Petroleum Resources, DPR, and the Petroleum Products Pricing Regulatory Agency, PPPRA, whose officials were apparently overwhelmed by the supply shortages to check sharp practices and market excesses among the operators.

Consequently, the DPR has scheduled another impromptu closed door meeting with marketers and other industry stakeholders today (Wednesday) at its Headquarters in Lagos, to update them on the new development.

Confirming the development yesterday, a top industry source who also attended the meeting told Vanguard in a telephone interview that the decision was made known to stakeholders at a closed door meeting which held in Abuja on Monday.

The source, who spoke in confidence said: “DSS will lead the operations (monitoring), and marketers were also asked to monitor each other and to report any sharp practices. “Government decided that enough was enough and will no longer condone any sharp practices in the system.”

The source, disclosed that the meeting was at the instance of the Federal Government, and had in attendance the representatives of the DSS, DPR, PPPRA, Major and independent marketers, depot operators and a host of other industry operators.

The source added that attendants sat for long hours deliberating on the best way to arrest the unofficial price hike of petroleum products in the market, occasioned by supply shortages following the inability of the government to pay markets outstanding subsidy claims of over N200billion.

Sudden hike in price

The source was responding to Vanguard’s enquiries on the cause of the sudden unofficial hike of both the pump price and ex-depot price of premium motor spirit, PMS, popularly called petrol and kerosene, and the helplessness of the industry regulators to arrest the situation.

Since the supply shortages set in some months ago, marketers and depot operators took the initiative to hike pump and ex-depot prices to reap enormous profit while waiting for government to pay off their outstanding claims.

As a result, practically every retail outlet sold petrol at above the prescribed N87/Litre, to peg price at between N100 and N150/Litre depending on the outlet and location.

Similarly, rather than the prescribed N81/litre ex-depot price, marketers accused the depot operators of selling at N96/litre instead, which they claimed forced them to also hike pump price.

He said: “Such practices will no longer be condoned especially with the involvement of the DSS, who will use their intelligence network to get to the root of the matter.

“The meeting decided that all marketers must sell at the regulated price of N87/litre of petrol. And anyone found to be selling above this, the DSS will track the outlet to the depot where the product was lifted.

“If it was discovered that the pump price increase is as a result of hike in ex-depot price, then both the outlet and the depot will be sanctioned.

“Originally, it was agreed that both the outlet and the depot will be shut down, but after considering the situation, if was agreed that the depot will not be shut down in order not to exacerbate the supply situation.

“However, the depot operator will be made to forfeit his subsidy claims on that cargo, as it will be assumed that he has reimbursed himself through the ex-depot price hike.”

“We are meeting with DPR again tomorrow (today) on the same matter for them to tell everybody what is happening and the need for all to ensure compliance,” the source added.

DPR meets with stakeholders

Expressing shock at the takeover of parts of its functions by the DSS, a top management official of the DPR confirmed the upcoming meeting with stakeholders in Lagos today.

The official, who also spoke in confidence in a telephone interview told Vanguard: “The Downstream Unit only informed us about the meeting holding tomorrow at about 4p.m. today.”

He expressed shock that the Unit did not give them full disclosures on the reasons for the impromptu meeting saying: “It is sad that everybody now do territorial claim when the whole roof is caving in. if there are new developments we should know firsthand and not from a third party.”

Agreeing that the DPR was overwhelmed by the sharp practices in the industry, he asked: “How can we effectively monitor a situation where the marketer shows us technical proof about the depots selling above the ex-depot price, and the depot operators in turn show prove at selling under the regulated price?

“We heard their accusations back and forth, and decided to hold an impromptu meeting with them in Lagos a few weeks ago, which was also reported by your paper. Since it was an open meeting, we expected the parties to openly make their allegations. But nobody did. So how can we hold anybody responsible?”

He, however said that the involvement of the DSS was a welcome development as long as it will bring sanity to the system, seeing that DPR lacked the capacity to fully monitor downstream operations.
