I stand in full support of this statement by Peter Obi .
Anyone that finds this statement unacceptable, is An Enemy Of Progress And a prime suspect for Nigeria's present predicament.

Peter Obi didn't make that statement. It's the handwork of cheap journalist. You can watch the interview on YouTube to verify my position. Peter Obi remains the Presidential Candidate to beat in 2027 elections.

The South still has 4 more years to go by 2027. He will win the 2027 Presidential elections convincingly. Hopefully, when the constitution is amended next year, it will be a single term of 5 or 6 years for the President and Governors. I think that's the way to go so as to eliminate both the do or die politics for 2nd term, and the distractions of politicking for 2nd term that starts immediately after taking the oath of office for the 1st term.

Nah…

His wife is a Benue lady, if I’m not mistaken.

Not from Benue, but neighbouring Cross River State. Ahmed Musa has a very good reputation. He has paid his dues.

Danancy:

Yes
Good afternoon sir
How can you help me sir?

Kindly check the University of Ibadan thread and do the needful please. Thank you.

Does anyone here have information about the renumeration of the Presidential CNG Initiative? Does the pay make sense?

Danancy:

God bless you greatly sir
I appreciate this a lot.
It was an omission not to have included my phone numbers as you pointed out. Thank you for bringing that up

You're welcome. Kindly edit your reply above and remove the phone number please. I wish you the very best!

Danancy:

Good evening 🏠
Please, this request is still pending. I will appreciate anyone who can help me out

Kindly check the University of Ibadan thread you were part of last year.

Danancy:

Yes, I printed it on Friday

@Danancy, kindly endeavour to add your phone number whenever you make a request in a public forum. It makes it easy to contact you. I have only that of TETFUND:
Executive Secretary,

Irrespective of what anyone may say to the contrary, I do not believe that recruitment can take place in the NUPRC without a board in place. That's what the act stipulates. That means any recruitment without a properly constituted board would be illegal. Given the controversy which trailed the last recruitment coupled with the crisis of confidence facing Oil industry regulatory bosses, I don't think the Commission Chief Executive would be willing to tread that path.

In the absence of a properly constituted board, the CCE can recruit after getting an approval from the President and waiver from the FCC. Both approvals were gotten sometime ago. Thank you.

DrManHattan1:
sir please i have question, that arrears are corpers included?

That's most unlikely.

The old minimum wage of 30k expired in April, 2024. The new minimum wage of 70k would start from May, 2024 with the arrears as soon as the National Assembly passes it into Law and the Ministry of Finance completes the salary adjustment across board.

Nadingo:
Hah!! My sincere apologies to all those who predicted less than N100k, whom I called names on this thread. I recall someone predicted N70k in here, and I called him 'a slave in love with his chains.' Abeg no vex sir/ma. Tinubu and APC have humbled me. My sincere apologies to all who may have been offended by my earlier utterances regarding this MW matter. Forgive me.

You didn't need to apologize my brother. It doesn't make any sense to have a minimum wage that can't buy a 50kg bag of Rice.

All the past minimum wages in my adult life bought at least two 50kg bags of Rice with some balance left.

I personally didn't believe the current minimum wage would be less than 120k. It's really unfortunate.

Walybounce:


Believe me you NUPRC APL has been given to presidential candidates too. A family friend got his on saturday.


Regulatory officer I, consolidated annual salary ******* probationary period of 12 months and it was dated 1st of july and written “report to Head, General Administration on or before Tuesday, 23rd july 2024”


This is the only information i was privy to, if you like go argue till thy kingdom come those that got it congratulations to you all.

This information is untrue. Any APL seen with the above information is not authentic. The issuance of APLs is still pending. Thank you.

I believe that all the 36 States are very viable. The problem is very poor management of the resources of the States by their Governors who mostly know next to nothing about leadership and management. Many Nigerian States have more resources than many countries around the world. The problem is having leaders that lack both character and leadership capacity.

Gensanusi:




Buhari distribute his appointment among North West, North Central, North East .

Not like tinubu focusing on only south west and kano, in every appointment.

Evil is evil my brother. Tinubu is just upgrading what Buhari started. The 6 geopolitical zones ought to be represented fairly. Both Buhari and Tinubu are very bad examples.

Even the blind and deaf Nigerians see clearly and hear loudly of the brazing and provocative lopsidedness of political appointments in the Tinubu Administration in favour of the South West in general and Lagos State in particular.

It's only unpatriotic, tribal, narrow minded, selfish and pretentious individuals that think otherwise.

Calling out evil by public office holders remains a very patriotic and noble gesture. And saying nothing in the face of impunity and callousness is an endorsement.

Anyone waiting for infographics on this matter from me will wait forever. Thank you.

Gabicon20:

Thanks 2u for identifying the problem my brother but you have hidden your proffered solution. what's "the needful" @ bold and what is the role of the Nigerian youth in the needful. Maybe it can start with the youths here.

The Nigerian youths should as a matter of urgency become more active in political and governance activities.

They should support only competent individuals with both character and track record of performance for public offices.

The issues of national interest, national cohesion & integration, fair representation across geopolitical zones, ethnic, religious, gender and physically challenged persons, and for the good of greater number of the Nigerian citizenry should be a priority.

The Nigerian youths should relegate tribal and religious biases to the back seat for this country to survive this imminent collapse. We have the number and energy on our side to save Nigeria from tipping off the cliff. Thank you.

It's really unfortunate to see the brazing lopsidedness in the FG appointments in favour of the South West. Buhari did same and Tinubu is doing even worse.

APC seems to be on a mission to destroy Nigeria completely. Zero sense of managing national diversity and cohesion.

Nigerian elites have failed this country and I hope the Nigerian youths won't choose to be docile, irresponsible and foolish.

If the needful is not done now, there won't be Nigeria left for our children and grandchildren.

Where did you hear that from please?

If you reside in Abuja, just find your way to their office and submit your CV immediately and stop asking unnecessary back and forth questions. We shouldn't be gullible.

You're looking for a decent job when your moniker is far from being decent. You might need to start from having a decent moniker and then a decent job would come. Thank you.

Technical Proposal for the Conversion of Vehicles to Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) in Nigeria

Executive Summary

The proposed allocation of N50,000 to 3.7 million households over 3 months across the 36 States and the FCT which amount to N555 Billion as a palliative measure is a significant misapplication of scarce resources. A more impactful strategy would be to aggressively convert commercial vehicles across Nigeria to Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) operated vehicles, and subsidize the conversion cost for private vehicles. This approach would provide a more sustainable economic impact by reducing transportation costs, promoting cleaner energy, creating job opportunities, and bolstering local industries. This proposal outlines the benefits and implementation plan for a national CNG conversion program.

Benefits of CNG Conversion

Economic Impact

1. Cost Efficiency:

The current price of CNG is less than N250 per kilogram, which is cheaper than the former subsidized petrol pump price.

In price comparison by weight, petrol costs over N850 per kilogram.

2. Transportation Cost Reduction:

Lower fuel costs will reduce transportation expenses, subsequently decreasing the cost of food, commodities, and services.

3. Job Creation:

The conversion program will create over 100,000 jobs for technicians and more than 10,000 new businesses or income streams from conversion outlets.

4. Market Expansion:

Increased CNG usage will boost demand for CNG production, distribution, and retail, creating a significant market for local producers.

5. Foreign Exchange Earnings:

By focusing on exporting petrol and utilizing CNG domestically, Nigeria can earn substantial foreign exchange.

Environmental and Safety Advantages

1. Cleaner Energy:

CNG is a cleaner alternative to petrol and diesel, producing fewer pollutants and reducing environmental impact.

2. Safety:

CNG storage tanks are stronger and safer than petrol or diesel tanks, reducing the risk of accidental releases.

CNG disperses quickly into the air, minimizing the risk of fire or ground contamination.

Higher ignition temperature of CNG (628°C) compared to petrol (280°C) and diesel (210°C) reduces the likelihood of accidental ignition.

Implementation Plan

Phase 1: Infrastructure Development

1. Establish Conversion Centers:

Set up conversion centers nationwide with a target of creating over 10,000 outlets.

Train and certify technicians to ensure quality and safety standards.

2. Import and Assemble CNG Vehicles:

Focus on importing and assembling CNG-operated vehicles, reducing reliance on petrol-powered ones.

Phase 2: Conversion Subsidy Program

1. Commercial Vehicles:

Prioritize the conversion of commercial vehicles to maximize impact on transportation costs.

Provide full or partial subsidies for conversion to encourage adoption.

2. Private Vehicles:

Offer subsidies to private vehicle owners to promote widespread use of CNG.

Phase 3: Financial Support

1. Intervention Funds:

Channel borrowed funds intended for palliatives into the CNG conversion program.

Provide low-interest loans through the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to stakeholders in the CNG value chain.

2. Government Incentives:

Offer tax breaks and other incentives to businesses involved in the CNG supply chain to encourage investment and growth.

Conclusion

The proposed reallocation of funds towards the CNG conversion program presents a more viable and sustainable solution to the economic challenges posed by the removal of petrol subsidies. By reducing transportation costs, creating jobs, and promoting cleaner energy, this initiative will have a profound positive impact on Nigeria's economy and environment. The Federal Government and relevant MDAs are urged to prioritize and expedite the implementation of this program to alleviate the current economic hardships and set the country on a path to sustainable growth.

Jamahyel:
forget boi focus on firs.

Did you remove my name from the list? We did interviews in April and May. We're expecting our APLs anytime from now and you said that I should remove my mind from there.

Omuka:
good evening boss, did you take interview with BOI?

Yes, since April.

Please who has any update on the replacement at BOI and FIRS? When should one expect the APLs? Thank you for your valuable anticipated response.

ZARAMITE:
Who has the update on the proposed “African Energy Bank (AEB) to be situated in Nigeria?

The bidding process is still on. We hope to win the bid to host the headquarters.

A very befitting building in Abuja is already reserved to host the African Energy Bank temporary headquarters if the bid goes in our favour. The operations will start next month, July, 2024 with an initial capital base of $5 Billion.

THIS IS THE QUESTION I WANTED TO ASK. HOW CAN THE DEATH OF SOMEBODY AFFECTS THE PLAN OF ANOTHER PERSON. THAT MEANS IN THE RCCG, CLASS MATTERS. I PITY THE FINANCIALLY POOR MEMBERS OF THE CHURCH WHOSE DEATH WON'T BE NOTICED.

The way some of us that should know better think and talk in the public space is very disturbing.

I very prominent man in your country that happens to be a Deacon in one's church tragically lost his life alongside his wife and first son, and you think the right thing to do in such an unfortunate circumstance is not to at least postpone the birthday party until after the burial of the deceased?

Let's endeavour to put ourselves in the shoes of others please.

Labour Unions shouldn't accept any amount less than 150k as minimum wage with the economic realities on ground.

• The FG and the sub-national government should set their priorities right.

• They should cut the cost of governance across board and block all the many loopholes for corruption in the system.

• They should address the issue of multiple taxation on businesses and make the business environment more conducive by addressing the pain points of many business concerns.

• The FG should look seriously at the possibility of adjusting the national revenue sharing formula in favour of the Sub-national government.

• 150k should be the irreducible minimum wage going by the economic realities on ground for any right thinking government.

Labour Unions, if it would take another indefinite strike at the end of the 5 day window you gave the government, it's in order. 150k should remain the irreducible minimum from your team.

Donaldoni:


Even when bag of rice was N8,000, some workers did/could not buy it.

Just shut up!

Ask yourself what was the minimum wage when 50kg bag of Rice was 8k?
