Oil Swap Fraud: Aiteo, Alleged Front For GEJ & Diezani, In Buhari’s Cross-hairs

As Nigeria's new President­-elect Muhammadu Buhari and his All Progressives Congress (APC) party ready for power, state Nigerian National Petroleum Corp. (NNPC) officials, oil traders and upstream players alike are bracing for a raft of investigations into deals approved by outgoing President Goodluck Jonathan's regime. As corruption is endemic across much of Nigeria's oil sector, such probes have featured with every incoming government for decades with new presidents and lawmakers using the findings to threaten and control opponents, shake down oil companies for more cash, terminate contracts and award new ones to allies.

Buhari could dig deeper and hold more alleged perpetrators to account than his predecessors, partly because he has staked his credentials on fighting corruption, and because a major power shift is under way. Corruption became a huge issue under Jonathan, with sizeable volumes of crude allegedly squandered through offshore processing agreements (OPAs), under which traders lift crude and deliver oil products and cash back to NNPC, as well as through strategic alliance agreements (SAAs) that paid companies in crude for helping NNPC to operate upstream assets divested by Royal Dutch Shell. The government eventually commissioned PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) to audit NNPC's finances in 2014 but declined to release the full report (EC Mar.28'14).

Buhari is treading carefully, starting on his own doorstep by disputing his own supporters' demands for contracts to satisfy their sponsors, sources tell Energy Compass. To manage such intense pressures, some expect Buhari to keep the oil portfolio himself and appoint a minister of state for petroleum as did former President Olusegun Obasanjo (2000­07) ­­ a move that streamlined rather than eradicated such activity. Significantly, though, APC policy director Kayode Fayemi yesterday promised to publish PwC's audit in full.

The president-­elect will need a light touch in Jonathan's home, the Niger Delta, where his People's Democratic Party retains control of all states after flawed governor elections on Apr. 11 (EC Apr.17'15). Powerful former militants are conciliatory but could stir up trouble if Buhari cancels their lucrative pipeline and maritime security contracts secured through the 2010­15 amnesty agreement and ties to Jonathan. Former gang leader Ateke Tom took out a full-­page advertisement congratulating Buhari. Less predictable are militants excluded from the amnesty, who are now flexing muscles to secure contracts.

A compromise to tackle corruption without ruffling Niger Delta feathers could be in the making, under which most of the corruption gets blamed on unpopular outgoing Oil Minister Diezani Alison­Madueke, allowing Jonathan to retain the statesmanlike image he acquired on ceding power to Buhari (EC Apr.3'15). A narrative is emerging that the minister helped herself to funds raised for his election campaigns and recycled it with help from business allies. "Goodluck was kept in the dark ... without real influence over oil sector decisions," one trader said. The minister will struggle to counter this version of history, as numerous fallouts have left her with few allies, sources say.

Companies deemed close to the minister that could face further scrutiny include Nigerian trader Aiteo, which has been criticized for unfairly exploiting its OPAs, and Atlantic Energy, which has allegedly lifted crude beyond its entitlements from the upstream SAAs.

Dieazani wrote a letter before leaving office is your defence?

I am giving you concrete evidence that Diezani increased oil swap deals and OPA's by over 80% at the same time refinery repairs were completed and you're telling me about a feather-weight letter she wrote to the EFCC?

**

Frustrated with the impasse, Yakubu, using his approval limit as the NNPC boss, but without the knowledge of Alison-Madueke, started making $2.5 million monthly to the management of the three refineries and encouraged them to revamp the plants with local and external engineers.

Under this arrangement, the refineries were fixed about a year ago and ready to churn out petroleum products, which would have slashed the volume of imported fuel by more than 50 per cent and significantly reduced pressure on the country’s foreign reserves.
In addition, the construction of a power plant for the Port Harcourt refinery was concluded at the beginning of the year to enhance its ability to operate efficiently.

However, instead of ensuring that crude oil was made available to the refineries for domestic consumption, Alison-Madueke, in conjunction with the Pipelines and Products Marketing Company (PPMC), increased the crude oil swaps and OPAs from some 270,000 bpd to 445,000 bpd, thus starving the refineries of crude oil.

The swaps and OPAs were awarded to Aiteo, Ontario Oil & Gas Limited, Sahara Energy, Taleveras Petroleum Trading BV and Swiss firm, Trafigura, among other oil traders.
When contacted on the issue, an aide of the former minister claimed that the reason crude oil was not made available to the plants was because of frequent crude oil theft and vandalism of the pipelines, resulting in losses of up to 30 per cent.

The fact remains that Jonathan and his cronies sabotaged the operations of the refineries after they were repaired so they could continue their wicked looting.

You can only fool your minions with that trash.

Can you deny that Diezani last year increased oil swaps and OPA's from 270,000 bpd to 445,000 bpd at the same time repairs of the refineries were completed thereby starving the refineries?

Jonathan and co. sabotaged our refineries. Simple.

The GEJ I know never ever supported subsidy. He had always siezed every opportunity to express his non-support of the subsidy regime and at a number of times attempted to remove it

So, was GEJ benefitting from fuel subsidy and still wanted to remove it?
Save your preaching for the choir.

Why did GEJ and his cronies deliberately and dramatically increase the oil swap deals (which are inherently questionable) at the same time the refineries were reported to have resumed operating last year?

Oil swap arrangements are different from subsidy payments. Lets not even bring up the fraudulent Offshore Processing Agreements yet.

Pls, dispute any of the fact! Stop asking me useless question when you have seen how GEJ met the refineries and how he left the refineries. Facts don't lie!
You can only deceive the gullible, you are completely empty about your assertions.

The issue is not about what was done to the refineries under GEJ, nobody is disputing those efforts.

The issue is the deliberate sabotage of the refineries operations in order to make a leeway for corruption and looting through oil swaps and other questionable arrangements by GEJ, Diezani and the PDP which frustrated the effective revival of the refineries operations.

The defeat and ejection of the aforementioned characters, catalysed by the emergence of an incorruptible, integrity-laden, no-nonsense President thoroughly experienced in the workings and administration of the refineries and the petroleum industry in general, made possible the accelerated revival of the refineries.

Barcanista can you deny that as soon as the refineries were ready for production last year, Alison-Madueke, in conjunction with the Pipelines and Products Marketing Company (PPMC), increased the crude oil swaps and OPAs from some 270,000 bpd to 445,000 bpd, thus starving the refineries of crude oil...instead of ensuring that crude oil was made available to the refineries for domestic consumption?

The question is why are Sai Buharists keen on re-writing history when Buhari has conceded credit to Jonathan (he had no choice though)



"I cannot take credit for the revival of the refineries because I have no input to it, if I say I had a hand in it, it will be a lie and I cannot tell lies." (President Muhammadu Buhari)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ttD5Tr-c9fQ
Nobody is disputing that fact, the question is how come the refineries which were scheduled to be revived in 2016 as at March 2015 are suddenly ready for production in the 3rd quarter of 2015?

http://www.punchng.com/news/refineries-will-produce-400000bpd-in-2016-nnpc/

Let us remember that Diezani consistently starved the refineries of crude oil, in favour of oil swaps.

The increase in generation as a result of recent improvements in gas supplies at Egbin Power plant is responsible for the huge improvement witnessed in Lagos State and its environs. The power plant a few months ago, was generating below 500 megawatts (Mw) but currently it generates over 1050Mw.

The reason for the improved supply in recent months is quite obvious for those who truly seek answers.

The statement by PMB in that video only strengthens the OP's points.

No one claims PMB made any direct input to the revival of the refineries, and that was the crux of his statement.

The point is that the disruption of the economic sabotage and looting, in the way of Jonathan and co's preference for fuel importation instead of local refining and starving the refineries to make it tenable, is the primary reason for their accelerated revival.

The integrity of PMB is becoming a well all Nigerians can drink from.

The point here is not that the North does not need to reflect and work on its educational challenges.

The truth is that every region in Nigeria has suffered from decay in our educational system and infrastructure, occasioned by decades of misrule by greedy and unintelligent leaders, both civilian and military. A reflection on the products of our institutions is a sufficient pointer to this fact.

However, castigating a region which had arabic and islamic influence before the arrival of its colonialists, for having arabic education as the basis of its own original educational system, is unreasonable, shallow, and completely illogical.

The facts are sacred, one of which is that no matter how much information to the contrary is offered, bigots will dedicatedly continue to spread the propaganda of an illiterate North in their resolve to discredit the region either as revenge for its political dominance, or ethno-religious differences. All of which matter little to the discerning.

Cheers.

My friend, if you can read and write arabic, you are considered literate in arabic, that was not the intent of the OP and you know it but have chosen to lie through your teeth.

The definition according to the dictionary which you bring, we all know so I don't seem to get what you are trying to prove.

How you can opine that a person who read/writes only arabic in an english speaking nation is literate in the general sense of the word, tells a lot about your knowledge.
There's no 'general sense' of the word literacy. Its definition is definite, you're only grasping at straws.

Would you then call a Russian scientist researching in America who does not understand English an illiterate?

You're severely unexposed, which is why you think only the Koran is being studied in Arabic. These children do sums, and study arabic literature in various fields including Law (Sharia'h) so before you mention me again, expose yourself to some enlightenment.

You are a good example of an illiterate.

Why did the OP not specify the area of literacy? Like we all don't know what he intended with the picture/post.

So you believe the definition of a literate person, you came up with is being able to read and write arabic in an english speaking country? Educate yourself before venturing out to educate another.
Literacy is not defined by field, but is a free-standing concept and ageless principle.

If you can read, write, and possess knowledge about ANY specified field (which was clearly arabic from the photos), you are considered literate according to the Oxford Dictionary. That's the OP's point.

Furthermore, I have provided pictorial evidence of WESTERN education being taught and encouraged around the same period.
