The Federal Government has said that it
would need the sum of $700 million to
upgrade the nation’s refineries to be able
to perform up to 90 per cent capacity.
The Minister of State for Petroleum, Dr.
Ibe Kachikwu, disclosed this on Saturday
when he visited Eleme Local Government
Area of River State for the
re-
commissioning of the crude line from
Bonny to the Port Harcourt refinery.
Kachikwu explained that though Nigeria
was currently not having such amount to
upgrade the facilities, the country was
embracing a creative way of bringing in
investors.
He pointed out that such investors would
work with Nigerians on the ground to
reactivate and upgrade the refineries,
adding that the investors would be paid
through the flow-out of refined products.
The minister said, “We are not inviting
foreign partners to take over the refineries;
we do not have the funds. Even now that
they (refineries) are working, they are
probably working at about 60 per cent
capacity. We need to upgrade these
refineries and let them develop to the
point where they can perform up to 90 per
cent capacity. Total investment for that is
up to $700 million and we don’t have that
(money). Let us be honest about it.
“So, the best thing to do is to find a very
creative way to bring in investors, who will
come in, work with our team here, who
have the skills, reactivate and upgrade
facilities in this place and help us provide
technical support and they would be paid
through the flow-out of the refined
products over time. There is no confusion
about what they are coming to do; they
are not coming to run the refinery. They
are coming to provide funds to take our
performance on these refineries to 90
percent and to provide us with technical
skills. So, the areas of intervention will be
funding and technical support.”
Kachikwu apologised to Nigerians for the
challenge being faced due to scarcity of
fuel.
Explaining that the Federal Government
was putting measures in place to tackle
the problem of fuel scarcity, Kachikwu
stated that the government was not going
to give up on the issue.
He observed that while the refineries were
currently producing 12 million litres of
Premium Motor Spirit (petrol), the nation
consumed about 45 million litres a day.
Meanwhile, the Federal Government on
Saturday re-commissioned the Escravos-
Warri-Kaduna pipeline and announced that
both Warri and Kaduna refineries were now
receiving crude oil simultaneously for the
first time in many years.
According to Kachikwu, the refinery in
Warri has started working while Kaduna’s
will start production at the end of the
month.
The Group General Manager, Group Public
Affairs Division, NNPC, Garba-Deen
Muhammad, in a statement issued in
Abuja, quoted Kachikwu as saying that for
the first time in many years all the three
refineries and major crude pipelines in
Nigeria will be working at the same time.
The minister described the Escravos
terminal as the heartbeat of the
downstream sector and critical to local
supply of finished petroleum products,
adding that both refineries in Warri and
Kaduna were majorly fed from Escravos
crude stock.
Kachikwu said, “The challenge of this
country is the challenge of focus and
stewardship. For the first time in many
years the three refineries are going to be
working and it will help in a great deal with
the issue of fuel supply and distribution
across the country and will go a long way
to manage the fuel crisis.”
He enjoined Nigerians to be more patient
as the corporation was working hard to
end fuel shortage across the country.
“I appreciate the patience of Nigerians and
I am committed and focused to make
petrol available to all nooks and crannies
of Nigeria,” he said.

PDP Ruled and Looted Nigeria For Sixteen years(16years) - APC Lagos


Peoples Democratic Party has been accused of Ruling and Looting the nation for 16 years.The accusation was fueled by the oppositions of Femi Fani-Kayode to this recent APC administration.It was obvious that Femi Fani-Kayode has also been accused of being afraid of his own shadow by APC Lagos state branch's spokesperson, Joe Igbokwe.
The Publicity Secretary of the All
Progressives Congress in Lagos State, Mr.
Joe Igbokwe, says former governor of
Lagos State, Babatunde Fashola and his
Rivers State counterpart, Rotimi Amaechi,
did not fund President Muhammadu
Buhari’s campaign.
He described Fani-Kayode, who is a former
Minister of Aviation’s allegation as a
‘bedtime story for kids’.
Fani-Kayode, in an
article on Friday, had
alleged that former governors Babatunde
Fashola of Lagos State and his Rivers
State counterpart, Rotimi Amaechi, funded
President Muhammadu Buhari’s campaign.
But Igbokwe urged the former minister to
quickly return the N840m he admitted to
receiving instead of giving excuses.
Igbokwe wondered how an opposition state
could have access to more funds than a
party that had been in control of Federal
Government resources for 16 years.
He said, “Fani-Kayode is afraid of his
shadow. Fani-Kayode’s PDP ruled Nigeria
for 16 years and also looted Nigeria for 16
years with nothing to show for it except
decayed infrastructure and empty treasury.
“In his confused state of mind, Fani-
Kayode thinks APC spent huge sums of
money including Lagos and Rivers states’
money to defeat Jonathan and PDP. This
is a bedtime story for kids. What the APC
did was to apply common sense where
PDP was spending billions.
“Fani-Kayode is one of the PDP shameless
leaders that destroyed the PDP. Fani-
Kayode left the PDP and for almost a year,
he rained abuses on President Jonathan
and the PDP. He left no stone unturned in
exposing Jonathan as clueless and
rudderless, and in fact he brought to the
public knowledge the inner workings of
PDP and its many woes. Fani-Kayode later
returned to the party he had labelled as a
monumental and colossal failure to serve
as the spokesman for the campaign
organisation. What a confused man.”

The Ministries of Petroleum Resources, Ibe
Kachikwu,speaking Wednesday, on the lingering
fuel scarcity, at the State House at the end of
the FEC meeting said that the queues were
expected to completely disappear by the end of
next week.
Kachikwu said that the unhealthy development
was as a result of sabotage, he however thanked
Nigerians for their patience so far.
"The queues are as a
result of sabotage. Some
people rather than sell
products send them into
interlands where they can
sell at ridiculous prices
and so you are having
this price distortions
where people are making
a lot of money, some are
internal and some are
external but a lot of it is
marketers trying to make
quick returns on their
investments wrongly.
"We have asked DPR to
deploy officials to ensure
products are sold at the
right because is only through price stabilization
that these system queues will disappear.
"As at today we are delivering about 1,200
trucks, by weekend we should be delivering same
number of trucks, it will take a bit of days to
even out but you can see improvement already. I
hope by the end of next week with the refineries
helping us to stay on course, every part of the
country will get fuels.
"We thank President, NNPC staff and ministries
who work night and day to enforce discipline.
"We thank Nigerians for their unbelievable level
of patience, we are solving problem we met on
ground and trying to find long term solution to it
and urge Nigerians to report sabotage, where
people are selling product on higher price
because we all need to work collectively to make
this thing go for good", he said.

Anambra CP THE Anambra State Commissioner
of Police, Mr. Hosea Karma said Wednesday that
the greatest challenges faced by the state police
command were the activities of the Independent
People of Biafra, IPOB, the Movement for the
Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra,
MASSOB, and the herdsmen who are having ugly
encounters indigenes in many communities.
Addressing members of the Anambra State
House of Assembly committee on police affairs
and security, who visited him, Karma said the
combined activities of the three groups had led
to increased murder cases in the state.
According to him, no fewer than 36 persons were
gruesomely murdered in the state between
January and April this year. Details showed that
nine were murdered in January, five in February,
15 in March while seven had already been
recorded in April. He however added that some
of the murder cases involved brother killing
brother, son killing father, mother or sister,
among other family issues. “These murders are
giving us sleepless nights, especially as they
started happening after we had arrested the
problems of armed robbery, kidnapping and cult-
related activities in this state. But we are not
going to allow it to continue as our men are
equal to the task.” The police commissioner
expressed worry that while the police was
battling with IPOB and MASSOB, the issue of
herdsmen reared its ugly head, a development,
he said, prompted the state governor, Chief Willie
Obiano, to set up a special committee headed by
the CP, with personnel from the Army, the
Department of State Service, DSS, and the civil
defence as members. He regretted that Anambra
command had the least manpower among the
South East police commands, adding that the
command had only about 50 drivers when it is
supposed to have at least 500. He also said that
the number of functional vehicles were
inadequate and urged the lawmakers to assist
the police in whichever way they could. Speaking
specifically on IPOB and MASSOB, Karma,
reminded them that where their rights ended was
where those of the police began. He commended
the state House of Assembly for passing the law
on the demolition of assets acquired through
kidnappings in the state and urged them to
maintain their tempo as he observed that the law
had helped in reducing crime in the state.
Chairman of the committee, Mr. Victor Okoye
had earlier told the CP that they were at the
police headquarters to work out a synergy
between the House of Assembly and the state
police command.
