Many flights were delayed and few others cancelled at the weekend following the inability of most airlines to receive the volume of aviation fuel, known as Jet A1, they needed for scheduled flights operations. It was gathered that due to the paucity of the product, oil marketers resorted to rationing the product to airlines, sharing the product at the ramp, from one aircraft to another. Airlines had positioned their aircraft, hoping the fuel would reach them as the bowsers moved between the airside of the General Aviation Terminal (GAT) to the domestic terminal, known as MMA2 of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos. An official of one major domestic carriers said that the fuel scarcity affected all the airlines’ operations as it caused delays and flight cancellations. He said the situation was beyond the control of what airline management could do. “So we just ensure that we carry out the important flights to different destinations as we get fuel,” he said. It was the same scenario at the international wing of the airport. Although most foreign airlines are on contract with oil marketers but more than two weeks ago, the international airlines adopted the strategy to fuel outside Nigeria and top up when they arrive in the country. It was learnt on Friday that Arik, which at the peak of operation required about 1.2 million litres of fuel for its flights could only source about 700, 000 litres, sometimes less and this impacted on its flights for an airline that operates about 115 flights a day. Also Dana Air delayed flights on Friday because of inadequate supply of aviation fuel, though it did not cancel any of its flights, according to a source from the airline. There are fears however that airlines may cut back the amount of fuel needed for each aircraft to operate fully, which includes the fuel to a destination and return and extra fuel, which is referred to as endurance fuel, which is needed in case of emergency or delays due to weather, VIP movement and others. But spokesman of the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), Sam Adurogboye said that attempt to cut back the volume of fuel would be akin to committing suicide. “Let me tell you categorically that the issue of fuel is a no go area because that will be akin to committing suicide. No airline or pilot will allow it to happen; rather, what airlines do when there is no enough fuel is to cut down operations; they reduce their schedule. “This cannot happen because the aircraft will come down, so unless the pilots agree to commit suicide; that is when they will allow such to happen. The present fuel scarcity is not peculiar to aviation; it is a general problem,” Adurogboye said. https://www.today.ng/news/national/111857/scarcity-aviation-fuel-hampers-flight-operations# |

The All Progressives Congress, APC, Caucus in the House of Representatives said it is determined to push ahead with the directive given to it by the party leadership to block all legislative proposals emanating from the presidency to protest what it called impunity of the Nigeria Police in Rivers State. The Minority Leader, Femi Gbajabiamila, who stated this on Monday, said the party caucus would meet on Tuesday morning ahead of resumption of the plenary session to study the directive and decide on how to go about complying with it. The APC had directed its members in the two chambers of the National Assembly to block all legislative proposals, including the 2014 Budget and confirmation of the ministerial appointees and service chiefs sent by President Goodluck Jonathan, to protest the role of the police in the lingering crisis in Rivers State. The opposition, which gave the directive during its National Executive Committee, NEC, meeting in Abuja on Thursday, has since come under heavy criticisms from other parties and individuals, who accused it of toying with the lives of Nigerians. Among the parties that condemned the directive are the ruling Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, and Labour Party, LP. The APC leadership also defended its action, saying it had started to yield fruit as its member and Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi, attended a rally in Ogoni axis of the state unmolested, last Saturday. Some other rallies organised in Rivers State by residents to declare support for the governor had been disrupted by the police with a serving senator allegedly shot in one of the attacks. Ahead of the resumption of the lower chamber on Tuesday, Mr. Gbajabiamila said it would meet to study the directive and the approach to adopt, insisting that it was a patriotic directive which the Caucus would comply with. “We see a basis for complying with the directive,” Mr. Gbajabiamila told PREMIUM TIMES on Monday night. “It is legitimate to call the government of the day to order. Those who are criticising it are PDP apologists. They don’t see what we see. We’re ready because this is a new beginning. We will see how it goes. “I cannot tell now how we are going to do it, but we will meet to decide on how to go about it tomorrow. I mean APC Caucus will meet tomorrow (Tuesday) morning and decide what happens next. We will sit down and we will review the situation as we go along.” The lawmaker expressed disappointment with those criticising the APC for issuing the directive to its lawmakers, describing them as “hypocrites.” He expressed regret that some Nigerians always see the actions of the party as illegal, noting that whenever it was at the receiving end, nobody bothered to say anything. According to him, “We have listened to those people. APGA and LP that are criticising the directive are all PDP apologists. When APC does anything people tend to see it as illegal.” “When Lagos State funds were seized by the PDP federal government, even when the Supreme Court had ruled on it, nobody said anything. Does PDP obey court rules? The lives of 18 million people were at stake. That is hypocrisy of the highest order. “Now, they are talking budget and how it will affect about Nigerians. You look at what is happening in Rivers State. Is the budget more important than the lives of Nigerians there? The life of one Nigerian is more important than the budget. Mr. Gbajabiamila, who represents Surulere 1 Federal Constituency of Lagos State, said the APC Caucus was not worried about the coalition the PDP had formed with APGA and LP to frustrate its plan to carry out the directive from its leadership, saying with its numerical strength the APC would succeed. He said, “In any case, I learnt PDP Caucus met today and formed a coalition with APGA, Labour Party, and other smaller parties. But it is simple. We are not worried at all. They (APGA and LP) are PDP apologists. That is not new. It wasn’t like they were voting for us. We’re superior in number.” He said the APC was not worried about the commencement of the screening of the service chiefs by the Senate, as it could frustrate their confirmation on the floor of the House. He said, “There is nothing wrong with screening because at the end of the day they will bring it to the floor for approval,” he said. “I don’t see any problem there. That is not to say we will not take the interest of the country into consideration. We will review the situation as we go along.” |

In what was suspected to be a reprisal attack, a Fulani herdsman identified as Dan Bako was Wednesday killed in Ilara-Mokin in Ifedore Local Government Area of Ondo State. This is coming barely a week after an Oodua People’s Congress (OPC) member, Mr Ayodele Ige was killed in the farm of Chief Olu Falae in Ilado in Akure Local Government Area of the state. The head of the Fulani herdsmen in the state, Alhaji Alli Dongo and Babangida Sodiq Kusada, the Chairman of Hausa community in Akure kingdom and the head of Arewa community in the state, said Dongo was declared missing after all efforts to trace him prove abortive. Briefing reporters in the Officers’ Mess of the Nigerian Police Force in Akure, the state capital, Dongo and Kusada said their kinsman had been living in Ilara-Mokin for the past seven years and was preparing to relocate to his state when the incident happened. https://www.today.ng/news/national/106008/fulani-herdsman-killed-ondo# |

This is to inform the general public that there will be a peaceful and peoples organized protest in the city of Port Harcourt next week, Thursday, April 14, 2016. This protest is aimed at driving a strong citizenship position against the inability of the Federal government to address the burning perennial fuel scarcity, zero MGW/total lack of electricity amidst increased tariff, incessant/fraudulent bank charges on poor Nigerians among other serious economic matters. In furtherance to these areas, the protest will serve as a platform to proffer a lasting solution to this untold hardship by Nigerians which has resulted in incalculable losses, shutting down of businesses, increase in crime and criminality, mass job losses, lack of any economic policy direction by the Federal government, lack of projects among others. We believe the government has exhibited gross ineptitude and incapacity in its dealings. Thus, it has continued to play the blame game on the past Goodluck Jonathan administration as a coverup to its failures which is a betrayal of its promises to Nigerians during the campaigns and elections that brought it to power. Thus the attitude of a travelling President in a travailing country can no longer be acceptable. Therefore we want to use this mass protest to creatively challenge and engage the government on what Nigerians want and how they want their future to be like. Some of our major objectives are: 1. To pressure government to solve the biting petroleum and power problems without any further delays or excuses. 2. To press home the demand for a quick review and investigation of the fraudulent/incessant bank charges made against the banking public. 3. To demand for a practical/ working economic policy direction by the Federal government as a way of reviving this current economy that is almost brought to a halt. 4. To exercise citizenship rights towards ensuring that government binds itself to do the bidding of the people. 5. To put government on check and challenge it legally, lawfully, peacefully, creatively and pro-actively in its program for the masses, particularly in line with the promises it made on party platform on its way to power. 6. To drive and motivate an active and conscious citizenship participation in governance. Hence, to give the citizens a VOICE and SAY in the activities of government, The protest which is tagged OCCUPY NIGERIA SEASON 2 will involve people from various civil society organizations including Civil Liberties organization, NANS, market women groups, student unions, Labour, Social media activists and several other professional bodies and interest groups. SIGN: FOR OCCUPY NIGERIA SEASON 2. Livingstone Wechie Co-Facilitator www.thetrentonline.com/occupy-nigeria-2-0-angry-nigerians-staging-protest-buharis-govt-april-14-2-2/ |
Buhari, Apc, propaganda and hypocrisy are all the same. in the eyes of there supporters what was bad in the last administration, is okay now since their dullard Messiah is in power. though Nigerians can now see clearly, many have already start the countdown to 2019 |
Last week Wednesday, 30th March, 2016 marked exactly one year when Nigeria boldly joined the league of nations with civilised democratic behaviour following the peaceful conclusion of the presidential election. For the first time in the country’s history, the then incumbent President, Dr Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, readily conceded victory to his challenger, General Muhammadu Buhari, an act that perplexed doomsayers at home and abroad. President Goodluck Jonathan’s finest hour came on that evening of March 30, 2015, when he called General Muhammadu Buhari and conceded the most closely fought presidential election in our history. The impact of this gesture was underlined by the many intelligence reports in the West which showed that Nigeria stood in danger of bloody disintegration after the election. Matters were not helped by the truculent propaganda and sabre-rattling between the front-running incumbents, the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and arch rivals, the All Progressives Congress (APC). Between March 28th when the presidential election took place and March 30th when ex-President Jonathan conceded, the entire nation was like a tense time bomb waiting to explode. But that patriotic action he took defused the tension and brought relief. It saved unquantifiable lives and property and ensured that the nation would continue to exist as one while the search for the peaceful formula for national unity and development would continue. Opinions will continue to be divided over the stewardship of former President Jonathan for decades to come. However, no one would fault his successful transitional programme, which he permitted to reach a logical conclusion even though it did not favour him. We remember with delight the role played by the General Abdulsalami Abubakar-led Peace Committee, which laboured to commit Jonathan and Buhari to the two peace pacts they signed in Abuja. We also commend the role played by the Professor Attahiru Jega-led Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) which took steps to conduct almost fool-proof, technology-driven elections. What happened on March 30, 2015, should ordinarily have become the new standard of democratic conduct for our politicians. It is, however, a matter of regret that this has not been so. Indeed, a year later, the elections in Kogi, Bayelsa and Rivers, which were marred by violence and killings and ended up inconclusively, showed a slide into reverse gear. The growing culture of losers congratulating winners has not been repeated, and the era of do-or-die democracy popularised by former President Olusegun Obasanjo seems to be back in full swing. We call on all stakeholders in our democracy, especially the new INEC led by Prof Mahmood Yakubu and the political practitioners, to learn from our best precedents, build on them and return Nigeria to the path of civilised democratic progression. www.vanguardngr.com/2016/04/remembering-jonathans-finest-hour/ |
The blame game continues, under PDP toothpicks were imported, but in this APC government we are importing grass. we can count the number of times they was fuel scarcity in the last administration, but under this hopeless government, fuel scarcity is part of their achievement. |
