Speaking to LEADERSHIP, the secretary general, Aviation Round Table Initiative (ARTI), Olumide Ohunayo, said with the current exchange rate, the current fare is not unexpected.
Ohunayo stated that demand and time of ticket purchase are always a factor in determining ticket price globally, saying Nigeria’s domestic market cannot be exempted.
He, however, stated that currently the fare is justified but by January, it will return to its normal rate.
So na only south east is justified not ibadan and osun state I don't understand Yoruba man he should sanction the air line not to support them.
He is saying this because is nit affecting his people
Why is it that only in South east you will see federal government toll gate just small bridges like that they want to toll even people who are walking 🚶♀️ why other regions with billions of dollars project is free
It will not work ndigbo will never allow thisto happen if you want to toll toll all the federal road or forget it.
Pakute: Who is Galambi again?. It's high time DSS started picking up nonentities. Nigeria opposition is proving to be a congregation of the most intellectually lazy people in the world. These are the same ratheads that would quickly point to US, UK, Canada,etc when they talk but do you see the President or PrimeMinister of an advanced country going to the legislative assembly with boxes or trailer of papers to present budget?. With flash drive, you could easily print out the budget details for each lawmaker. And that's the innovation Jagaban is introducing to end the archaic system of budget boxes. Nigeria's opposition are too backward thinking, everything na to dey open mouth dey wail, no sense.
shut up because tinubu is from your region that is why your talking nonsense
SoNature: The chairman of Waltersmith Group, Abdulrazaq Isa, has said, they are working round the clock to ensure that Phase Two of its refinery project, which will immediately take its capacity from 5,000 barrels of crude oil a day (bpd) to 10,000bpd, comes on stream.
Isa stated this during the recent official visit and tour of the refinery project site in Ibigwe in Imo State by the minister of State for Petroleum Resources (Oil), Senator Heineken Lokpobiri.
“We have customers from as far as Sokoto and from all over the country. It is obvious to us that the current capacity is so limited. That is why we are working very hard to conclude the next phase and ramp up the capacity. We expect the Phase Two to come onstream by June 2025”, Isa told reporters after conducting the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources round the facility.
Our target is to achieve 40,000bpd capacity in the shortest possible time and that is where we are headed,” Isa added.
In an earlier presentation to the minister, CEO, Waltersmith Petroman Oil, Oladapo Filani, said: “between the Final Investment Decision (FID) and coming on stream of the Phase One project was between 18 – 24 months and we see ourselves reproducing that for Phase Two, which is a replica and an improvement on the learnings of what we achieved with Phase One.”
The minister of State for Petroleum Resources (Oil), Senator Heineken Lokpobiri expressed a resounding vote of confidence in the operations of the Waltersmith Refinery and pledged his full support and that of the government for the expansion plans of their refinery project.
“The success story of the Waltersmith refinery should be an encouragement and proof that one of the quickest ways to ensure energy security for our country is through the fast-tracking of modular refinery projects. I also believe that other organisations with modular refinery licences and other marginal field operators should take a cue from Waltersmith”, Lokpobiri said.
The executive secretary of the Nigerian Content Development & Monitoring Board (NCDMB), Engr. Simbi Wabote expressed delight at the participation of the local content body in the project through their 30 per cent equity interest.
“As you can see, we have produced almost 600 million litres of various products from this refinery; that translates to about 20 trucks load from this refinery on a daily basis and NCDMB is proud to be associated with the success story of the Waltersmith Refinery”, Wabote said.
There is also a possibility of the Bank of Industry (BOI) coming on board to be part of the Waltersmith Refinery and Petrochemicals Company Ltd Phase Two Refinery project. The managing director/chief executive officer of Bank of Industry (BOI), Olasupo Olusi, who was also present during the ministerial tour of the facility, said that the bank is open and committed to supporting the expansion plans of the Waltersmith Refinery.
It is worth noting that Phase One of the Waltersmith Refinery, which is a facility capable of processing 5,000 barrels of crude oil per day, was officially opened on November 24th, 2020. This phase was created to tackle the increasing risks of crude oil theft in the company’s upstream operations by providing an operational solution. Its primary goal is to increase the overall value of extracted crude oil by engaging in domestic refining, thereby ensuring a steady supply of petroleum products to the local market.
ndi igbo will not disappoint you we will give you all the support you need you change the narrative of igbo land is not welcome investors from other part of Nigeria,
We understand the people who are behind the propaganda.
Numerous black countries are well run and are progressing fast, including Rwanda, Botswana, Tanzania, Trinidad, Jamaica, Kenya, Namibia and other nations.
12 of the 20 fastest growing economies on Earth today are black countries.
Stop watching CNN where they only show you negative news about black people.
nairalanda1: They do. It's bad. Very recently I watched a video about why south Africa has electricity issues. At some points I had to remind myself that it was South Africa that was being talked about. Not Nigeria.
It is so bad that criminal gangs are outright controlling the coal supplies for the power plants that are coal fired. Then there was the power station that took far longer to complete because anc officials were.benefiting from kickbacks and Still does not work.
South Africa get issues.
black man can never rule them self they are criminals spacial in Africa not north Africa
the country you Manton is working properly Nigeria is not working 80 percent of the money will be stolen by our criminal politicians
In South Africa all eyes 👀 will be on any project but in Nigeria they will keep on budgeting billion for one project for 20 years
Loke our refinery our roads east west road Lagos abiokute road onitsha Enugu road many of them did you know how mush past government spends on that project still nothing working something will not happen in South Africa and Egypt
Our politicians are more than arm robbers they need to be ston to death
ubest1: The same tribe they all classify as most respectful, loyalty etc are insulting Oba of Benin calling him all manners of names just because of a statement that can easily be overlook or counter the Oba with facts and respect.
Aonkuuse: Don't mind the double standard of Nigerians especially the Igbos, I do strongly condemn the Nigerian army for dealing with civilians each time a military personnel was killed in the east, but the same people who were crying up and down for the same reason are supporting Israel over the deaths of innocent kids in Palestine..... Don't worry, they will be reminded when the same happens again.... E no go far
Has Hamas ever attacked any other county in the world before apart from Israel??
Has Hamas ever declared to be part of the Global struggle to establish a version of Islam on every part of the world or declared any other Global agenda??
Has any other extremist group ever declared to be part of Hamas or working with Hamas??
Has Hamas ever targeted or killed any non Israelis before??
Has Hamas ever kidnapped any non Israelis before??
If all answers to these questions is No...then why is it too much for you to see Hamas as another Military of a people or a country or a settlement...who are simply at war with Israel??
Why do you always need someone to help you think? Why??
why do you think ipoh is a terrorist hypocrite when ipoh have only frag your governor tag them terrorist but now you want to defend Hamas because they are ☪️.
Fortruth: The Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Musa, on Tuesday accused self-acclaimed Biafra agitator, Simon Ekpa of sabotaging the activities of security agents in the Southeast.
General Musa disclosed this when he led other Service Chiefs and the Inspector General of Police to appear before the House of Representatives at the commencement of its sectoral debate.
According to Musa: “Simon Ekpa is sabotaging our efforts in the Southeast.”
Stressing that Finland was protecting Ekpa, Musa urged the Federal Government to engage the Finnish government and possibly invite its ambassador to Nigeria over the activities of the agitator.
He said while the military and other security agencies in the country are doing their best to ensure that there is peace in the southeast, the comments and activities of Ekpa are sabotaging such efforts.
Following the arrest (kidnapping) of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Ekpa had claimed to have taken over the agitation for the restoration of Biafra.
Ekpa is widely believed to be funding some armed groups operating in the Southeast.
These armed men usually enforce the sit-at-home order declared by Ekpa.
when they tell them if mnk arrest someone deadly will take over now they are dealing with a solder like them not bloody civilian like mnk. The fist thing Nigeria government should apologize to ndi igbo ipob and the family killed by Nigeria army and state paying composition to the family kill by Nigeria army.
You can't pampas terrorist like boko haram and start killing people with frag and expect them not to arm them self.
We told buhari to be careful the way he handled that issue aboy ipob but he think he is new sherif in town.
time to give tinubu chances and support him I think he will paform, politics is over if Nigeria is good is good for everyone but when it continues like this my only second option is Biafra so we can beuld our country
Antiurchins: The Igbos in the SE keep disappointing me, for real... A lot of economic activities are suffering a huge blow because of the activities of these miscreants, yet you'll see supposedly educated and enlightened individuals supporting them
It still baffles me how someone in faraway Finland is so desperate to destroy the southeast, like are my people so stupid?
Those that are being killed by those gunmen, are they from other tribes? Ain't they fellow Igbos? I don't even understand how some people think again
I think you should first look at what are the cause of it. If your should treat the way Niger government is treating igbo you will do the same.
O don't support what is happening in the east but something most be changed all Nigeria should be handled the same no body or tribe is bigger than others.
