The Nigerian Senate, on Wednesday, vowed to pass the controversial Petroleum Industry Governance Bill (PIGB) earlier rejected by President Muhammadu Buhari. Igbere TV recalls that President Buhari had rejected the PIGB passed by the 8th Senate. The PIGB is a fraction of four parts of the proposed Petroleum Industry Bill (PIB). The Bukola Saraki-led 8th Senate had on May 25, 2017 passed the PIGB which was first proposed in 2002. The bill subsequently went through harmonization and was jointly passed by the Senate and the House of Representatives on March 28, 2018, and sent to Buhari on July 3, 2018 for presidential ascent. But Buhari in the same July rejected the PIGB on the grounds that its provision which permitted the Petroleum Regulatory Commission (PRC) to retain as much as 10 per cent of generated revenue increases the funds accruing to the PRC “to the detriment of the revenue available to the Federal, States and Local governments as well as the Federal Capital Territory”. But on Wednesday, September 25, the Ahmad Lawan-led 9th Senate vowed to revive the Bill and also set 2020 deadline for passage of the PIB. Senate President Lawan assured during plenary that the PIB would be passed before the end of 2020 to trigger reforms in the petroleum industry. “Our petroleum industry is almost stagnant and for long needing profound reform. Our oil and gas-related committees are therefore expected to work hard to take the lead in our determination to reform this vital sector. It is the desire, indeed the design of this Senate that, the Petroleum Industry Bill is passed before the end of 2020,” he said. http://igberetvnews.com/1021155/senate-pass-saraki-bill-rejected-buhari/

The Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) has threatened to file a libel suit against Timi Frank if he refuses to tender an apology over his recent claims in three major newspapers within the next 24 hours. The FIRS was reacting to the allegations by Mr Frank that it allocated monies to Vice President Yemi Osinbajo to prosecute the 2019 general elections. Igbere TV recalls that Frank, a former deputy spokesman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), had alleged that Osinbajo got N90 billion from the FIRS for campaigns. According to Frank, Osinbajo’s rumoured troubles with the aso rock 'cabals' started after he failed to account for the said money. But reacting in a statement issued on Monday, the FIRS said it does not have such amount of money, let alone appropriate same for election purposes. The agency accused Frank of seeking cheap popularity, adding that it would proceed to file libel suit against him at the expiration of 24 hours.

The Chief of Defence Staff, Gabriel Olonisakin has given the reason service chiefs failed to honour the summon by the House of Representatives last Friday. According to Olonisakin, the service chiefs recognised the concern of the house but were unable to appear on that day “due to other national assignments”. The defence chief, who spoke on Monday at a meeting with the leadership of the green chambers, said their absence from the meeting was not a deliberate act to disrespect the lawmakers. “We are here to listen to the security concerns of the house and address them with the support of the legislature,” Olonisakin said. “Our various chiefs of operations were here to represent us, they are senior officers in charge of the various headquarters and are qualified to respond to issues. “I wish to put on record that contrary to insinuations, the absence of the service chiefs on Friday was not a deliberate act to disrespect the institution of the assembly. “We hold the national assembly in the highest regard and wish to appreciate the institution for the support in the fight against insurgency.” Igbere TV recalls that Speaker of the House, Femi Gbajabiamila had invited the service chiefs to discuss the spate of insecurity in the country but they did not show up. Gbajabiamila, who had expressed disappointment at their action which he described as an insult to the Parliament, threatened to report them to President Buhari. https://thewhistler.ng/military-gives-reason-for-disregarding-reps-summon/

Aliyu, who described his decision as personal, announced the development in a statement made available to newsmen on Monday in Abuja.

A Nigerian man, Odeh Junior, has called our Air Peace for allegedly changing his flight schedule. Taking to Twitter, Junior claimed his flight time was changed from 6:40 p.m to 8:10 p.m. As if that wasn't enough, the Twitter user said Air Peace kept on selling the cancelled flight ticket to unsuspecting travellers. He is asking the Aircraft management to "do the needful", apparently a compensation. See his tweet below... “This is what happens with Nigerian Airlines. Yet, the authorities allow this unjustifiable acts pass. “I booked an 18.40 flight, yet they changed my time of flight & they are still selling 18.40 on their site! “Thus (sic) act is terrible!

President Muhammadu Buhari, on Friday, received the leadership of the Nigerian Association of Chambers of Commerce, Industry, Mines and Agriculture, NACCIMA, Igbere TV reports. Our State House correspondent reports that the delegation, which were drawn from Nigeria and other West African countries, were received at the Council Chambers of the Presidential Villa, Abuja. Speaking on the closure of the Nigerian border, President Buhari said the aim was to put an end to smuggling and dumping of substandard items from other countries into Nigeria. He lamented the impact of fake drugs and foods on the Nigerian citizens, including how fake electrical items have led to fires in homes and loss of lives and property. The president said since the border was shut, Nigeria has witnessed a significant drop in the volumes of counterfeit smuggled goods in Nigerian markets. Buhari, who was conferred with "Grand Patron" of the association by the delegates, equally used the opportunity to thank the NACCIMA for the honour. Read the full statement posted on his verified Twitter handle, @MBuhari, as obtained by Igbere TV. Today I met with a delegation of Chambers of Commerce and Industry from Nigeria and West Africa. I assured them of our administration’s readiness to work with them to bring an end to smuggling and the dumping of substandard items in West Africa and on the continent. It is regrettable there there are traders who simply do not play by the rules; who choose profits over patriotism, and whose selfish practices in perpetrating smuggling and counterfeiting help keep foreign factories working while closing ours. We have all heard stories about the dangerous and sometimes, fatal impact of fake drugs and foods on our citizens. We have also seen how fake electrical items have led to fires in homes and markets thereby destroying lives and property. Most of these substandard and illegal items are smuggled through our land borders. After many years of diplomacy and aggressive regulatory oversight which yielded few results, we decided to close our land borders for a limited time to assess the impact of this measure. Within a few short weeks since the partial border closures began, we are already seeing a decline in the volumes of counterfeit smuggled goods in some of our major markets across the country. This validates our action as a Government when we insist that the African Continental Free Trade Agreement must not only promote free trade, but legal trade of quality made-in-Africa goods and services. We will soon finalise the National Action Committee on the implementation of the AfCFTA. We expect the organized private sector to continue to support us in achieving a Free Trade Area that employs Africans to produce high-quality made-in-Africa products. Let me also thank NACCIMA for the honour done to me with the investiture today as their Grand Patron. I will not let them down. Trade is central to our economy; we are a nation of traders,and have been for centuries. I will ensure that we continue to give the sector full support. http://igberetvnews.com/980219/border-closure-buhari-receives-chambers-of-commerce-in-abuja-photos/

Nigerian musician, Johnson Oyindamola, aka Dammy Krane reportedly risks three years imprisonment as the Zone 2 Police Command is ready to arraign him on Monday, September 16, 2019. According to report, a copy of the charge document states that Dammy Krane would be arraigned on three counts bordering on threat to life, defamation and conduct likely to cause breach of peace before an Igbosere Magistrate Court in Lagos. According to a petition filed at the command's headquarters, the singer was accused of threatening the lives of staff members of betting company Merrybet Gold Limited on July 25th 2019 and also released a song in which he accused the firm of breach of contract. The act is said to be in contravention of sections 301, 412 and 168 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State of Nigeria, 2015. He was also accused of conspiring with others at large of conducting himself in a manner likely to cause breach of peace and threat to life in contravention of Section 412 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State of Nigeria, 2015. Dammy Krane was also said to have threatened public peace when he posted an audio and video message on radio in contravention of Section 168(d) of the state’s criminal law. The charges read in part, “That you, Johnson Hunga Oyindamola and others at large on the 29th day of July, 2019 at Cool FM in the Lagos magisterial district did conspire amongst yourselves to commit felony to wit: conduct likely to cause breach of peace and threat to life and thereby committed an offence punishable under Section 412 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State of Nigeria, 2015.” Another charge reads; “That you, Johnson Hunga Oyindamola and others at large on the same date, time and place in the aforementioned magisterial district did threaten the life of the staff of Merrybet Gold Limited and thereby committed an offence punishable under Section 301 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State of Nigeria, 2015.” Section 301 of the state’s criminal law states that any person who, with intent to extort or gain anything from any person; accuses or threatens to accuse any person of committing any felony or misdemeanour, or of offering or making any solicitation or threat to any person as an inducement to commit or permit the commission of any felony or misdemeanour is guilty of a felony, and liable to imprisonment for three years. It was learnt that the musician got into trouble after Merrybet Gold Limited wrote a petition to the police accusing the musician of threats and cyberbullying. In a petition titled, ‘Petition against Oyindamola Johnson Emmanuel aka Dammy Krane for false and libellous statement against Merrybet Gold Limited and signed by its lawyer, Nwabueze Anachebe, the betting firm said the musician perpetrated cyberbullying and criminal defamation. The musician was said to have attended a game show sponsored by the betting company but lost. However, Dammy Krane was said to have demanded some money for appearing on the show but the firm disagreed, insisting that the sum is only given to winners. The embittered musician subsequently went on the radio where he accused the betting firm of owing him money and breaching a contractual agreement. https://www.pulse.ng/entertainment/celebrities/dammy-krane-risks-3-years-in-jail-as-police-set-to-arraign-him-on-monday/s9xqec6
