| Politics › Re: Power Sector Losses Reduce As Generation Picks Up by olatade(m): 9:03am On Oct 03, 2016 |
The daily losses being recorded by operators in the power sector have reduced as electricity generation picks up gradually across the country. An analysis of the power industry statistics obtained by our correspondent in Abuja on Sunday showed that the average daily loss of about N2bn recorded by the sector towards the end of the second quarter had reduced to an average of N1.655bn Similarly, power generation, which hovered around 2,500 to 3,000 megawatts in the second quarter, is now above 4,000MW. For instance, data from the System Operator put the power generation figures for September 28 and October 2, 2016 at 4,244.2MW and 4,229MW, respectively, in contrast to the 2,798.5MW and 2,524.2MW generated across the country on June 14 and June 29, respectively. A further analysis showed that the increase in power generation was largely from hydro power plants, as the turbines had recorded a zero water management constraint for several weeks. Nigeria’s hydro power plants include the Kainji Power Station, with capacity for 800MW; Jebba Power Station, 540MW; and Shiroro Power Station, 600MW. According to industry statistics, gas-fired power plants are still being affected negatively by the militancy in the Niger Delta and the resultant destruction of pipelines that supply gas needed to run the power turbines. For instance, Nigeria lost 2,764MW of electricity on September 28, 2016 as a result of gas constraint to the thermal power generation plants, while the average power sent out on that day was put 3,579MW. Similarly, the reported line constraint was 408.1MW, while high frequency constraint was 274.9MW, with N1.655bn lost on that day due to the constraints. Officials of the Federal Ministry of Power, Works and Housing told our correspondent that the activities of militants in the Niger Delta had continued to impact negatively on the performance of the thermal plants as the facilities hardly got enough gas to meet their daily power generation demands. Similarly, the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation stated that the activities of militants in the region were not only affecting gas supply adversely, but reducing the country’s crude production. The corporation, in a recent report, stated that while crude oil production in May plummeted to 1.69 million barrels per day following uptick in pipeline vandalism in the volatile Niger Delta region, the destruction of a major pipeline in the region led to the loss of 1,500MW of electricity |

Nigerians should please adopt another strategy in shaping This our society for our own good, that of our children and generations yet unborn.This Is no more about forming political parties. We need to move out of our comfort zones and organize ourselves as a people and tell one another That enough is enough , tell ourselves to collectively come out from this mental slavery and demand the way we want to be governed in This country. An average Nigerian is now a mini government . He builds his own road, gives himself water and electricity etc and yet he pays taxes, while these criminal political leaders enjoy the best of life and keep looting our common treasury and refuse to provide basic amenities to the people. Its sad that we do not have anymore the Fela Kutis, Bello Kutis, Ganis , Chimas etc. All these are unacceptable and so we must organize ourselves as a vocal body, a group that will be demanding how we want things run in our LG,s , States and Federal level and put a stop to all these slavery. 1 Like |

The National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has demanded the resignation of the national chairman of the party, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun whom he said had derailed from the path of progressives. In a communiqué from his media office, Tinubu accused Oyegun of sabotaging the will of democracy in Ondo State by overriding the decision of the appeal panel that asked for a fresh governorship primary following investigations that showed that the delegates’ list used was tampered with. Tinubu in the communiqué said that Oyegun’s action in allegedly subverting the will of the people, was not of his doing, saying that for a man of the age of the national chairman to have done what he did that he must have been under the influence of a “powerful and sinister arm at work.” Tinubu who said that the APC was now under threat of being suffocated by anti-democratic forces pretending to be progressives, said: “The APC, a party born of the quest for democratic good governance, is under critical threat by those who managed to be in the party but never of it. From the party’s inception, the principles of democratic fairness and justice were to guide APC internal deliberations. Party founders realized that only by intramural fair dealing could the party remain faithful to the progressive ideals that we presented to the Nigerian electorate as our governing creed. If the party could not justly govern itself, it would find it difficult to establish and maintain just government throughout the nation. “In essence, the party was the embodiment of a democratic promise made between its members as well as a democratic vow made to the public. Evidently, some errant members believe promises and vows are mere words to be easily spoken and more easily broken. Chairman John Oyegun has breached these good pledges in a most overt and brazen display. In doing so, Oyegun has dealt a heavy blow to the very party he professes to lead. It is an awful parent who suffocates his own child for the sake of a few naira. The party was supposed to buttress APC members elected to government at all levels. Because of Oyegun’s conduct of our affairs, the party is rapidly becoming an albatross to those it was meant to help. “Oyegun’s comportment regarding the Ondo State primary will become the textbook definition of political treachery and malfeasance of the basest order. In early September, the state primary was held. A purported winner was named. Having faith in the ways of the party, Tinubu publicly accepted what he assumed to be a verdict honestly derived. As a democrat, one must face the possibility of defeat and accept such as outcome with as much grace as one would embrace victory. One of the few bright spots during the conduct of the primaries was Jigawa Governor, Alhaji Mohammed Badaru Abubakar. He chaired the primary convention with decorum and impartiality. He was unaware that a tampered list had been slipped into the process. “Indeed within hours of the announcement, news began to filter in that gravely disturbed me. Credible allegations of fraud troubled the waters. The delegate list had been materially altered by someone in a strategic position to so do. The names of over 150 valid delegates were excised to make room for an equal number of impostors. This was not a clerical error. The alteration was wilfully executed that the primary would be directed toward a chosen end that bore nothing in common with the will of most state party members. A cunning few had tried to deceive the many into believing they were outnumbered. “A conspiracy to steal the Ondo primary had been uncovered. Fortunately, the grand deception afoot had been unable to cover its tracks fast enough. Truth began to cry for justice. “Several candidates filed petitions contesting the result. The party established an investigative board to review the evidence. In a two to one decision, the panel found the delegate roster had suffered tampering. The panel recommended that a new primary should be held using the valid delegate list. This recommendation was tabled before the National Working Committee (NWC). “After many hours of deliberations spanning several days, a final vote was held by the NWC. Before hand, NWC members agreed that the decision of the majority would become the stance of the party. Such is the way of democracy. The NWC voted six against five to cancel the fraudulent results and hold an honest primary. For a moment, it seemed the party would restore its integrity by giving democracy a chance. However, those who sought to scam an entire state would not let the vote of 11 people spoil their enterprise. “After the NWC vote, a noticeably agitated Chairman Oyegun proposed the NWC engage in prayer before concluding the meeting. Adhering to this chairman’s request, NWC members began to pray. Seeing that the others had taken his bait, Oyegun used the prayerful interlude to secretly excuse himself from the meeting. Contravening the NWC decision and in violation of all rules of fundamental decency, Oyegun decided to safeguard the fraud done in Ondo by perpetrating a greater fraud. Oyegun arrogated to himself the right to submit the name of Rotimi Akeredolu to INEC as the candidate of the party. “Truth has finally come to light. There exists a regressive element in the party that cares nothing for the progressive ideas upon which this party was founded. They joined the APC because it was the best ride available at the time. Now they want to guide the party into the ditch. They want to turn the party into a soulless entity incapable of doing good, just like they are. When such a person tastes power, they shed all good restraint. They come to abuse the trust given them as if they are the owners of that trust and not its mere custodians. These people did little to build the party but now will do much to wreck it. “Our party was to stand for change. Oyegun and his fellows seem to be on a different wave length. They are the cohort of Unchange. The APC wants to guide Nigeria into a better tomorrow. Oyegun and the cohort of unchange want to pull Nigeria back into the past where rigging and vote stealing were the old and new testaments of politics. They want the people to think that there is no alternative to their reactionary system of skewed politics and imperious government. Thus, they seek to turn the APC into a factory of the very political malpractices the people soundly rejected in the past election. To choke the APC in this manner is to kill the chance for progressive reform for the foreseeable future. Much more than the Ondo primary is at stake. Oyegun has revealed his team’s game plan: It is the destruction of progressive politics and governance on behalf of the people. http://sunnewsonline.com/breaking-tinubu-wants-oyegun-apc-national-chairman-to-resign/ |

| Politics › Buhari Spent Only N20m For Ear Treatment — Presidency by olatade(op): 4:28pm On Sep 19, 2016 |
The Spokesperson to the President, Mallam Garba Shehu has said that President Muhammadu Buhari spent 'only' about twenty million naira as medical expenses for his ear treatment. Shehu in a post on his Facebook page which he titled "In Response to Prof. Farooq Kperogi" Reads "The disclosure on Prof. Farooq Kperogi's wall that President Muhammadu Buhari's ear treatment in the United Kingdom cost a whopping six million pounds must have shocked many of the respected scholar's followers. The story reads like an incredible tale by moonlight that belongs to a different era, which fortunately is now history. That's when a fortunate lady saved USD15 million for medical treatment! But was it possible that the account of this balanced journalism teacher was hacked? I will give him the benefit of the doubt. Given the austere president we have, Muhammadu Buhari would not have approved this amount if he was shown a six million Pounds bill. I won't be surprised if the President may have asked if the fat bill was for the purchase of a brand new pair of ears! I'm prepared to share documents with Farooq, one of the brightest ever produced from the Bayero University Kano (BUK) that the whole treatment, including a follow-up visit by a specialist to Nigeria didn't cost 50,000 pounds. For the records, the administration advanced a higher sum, but the President's doctor returned the balance to the treasury. Indeed, it's a New Day, and President Buhari's change mantra is real. Let no one confuse my fellow countrymen and women." image: http://cms.dailytrust.com.ng/cms/newsimages/image/eclipse%202016/Garba%20shehu.JPG Dr. Farooq Kperogi reacting to Garba's post wrote "Malam Garba Shehu was my teacher. In fact, as I wrote in one of my columns, he is one of the best teachers I've ever had in my entire life. Ironically, he taught me most of the things I know today, including speaking truth to power and holding government accountable to the people through journalism. I didn't make up the allegation that Buhari spent 6 million pounds to treat his ear infection. It's been around since June. It was even reported in the Vanguard of June 9. Now, I am the first to admit that Vanguard isn't always a reliable source of news (I have written at least two scathing articles on Vanguard), but it's also true that Vanguard is Nigeria's most visited online news source, outranked occasionally only by Punch, according to Alexa. You ignore it at your own risk. It's hard to believe that the presidency is only just now learning about the allegation after I brought it up in my column and status update. Well, here is it, my esteemed former teacher." Read more at http://www.dailytrust.com.ng/news/general/buhari-spent-only-n20m-for-ear-treatment-presidency/163046.html#J4D6cwjUbgdp8YW8.99 |

The Nation Nigeria EFCC EFCC recovers N46b from oil marketers by Yusuf Alli, Abuja, September 12, 2016 at 12:09 am in Featured, News FacebookTwitterSMSWhatsApp Oil marketers have refunded N46 billion in a probe of massive fraud in the sector, The Nation has learnt. It is all part of the ongoing probe of the rot in the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, an Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) source said yesterday. The marketers, who are not named because “the investigation is yet to be concluded”, lifted products without paying a dime to the defunct Petroleum Products and Marketing Company (PPMC), a subsidiary of the NNPC now known as the National Petroleum Marketing Company(NPMC). The anti-graft agency busted the fraud after going through the company’s records. A top source in EFCC, who spoke in confidence with our correspondent, claimed that some of the marketers conspired with some staff of PPMC and NNPC to perpetrate the fraud. The source said: “When we conducted our investigation, we discovered that the affected marketers sourced products from NNPC through PPMC without paying for them. “In some instances, these marketers got two or three supplies and paid for one. Through connivance, they cooked the books. “We discovered that products worth about N100billion were lifted and unpaid for by marketers leading to the invitation and interaction with some of them. “So far, we have been able to recover N46billion out of the N100billion which the nation had purportedly lost.” The source expressed concern that the some forces within and outside NNPC and PPMC behind the syndicate almost frustrated the EFCC team probing the “fraud”. “The cartel wielded enormous influence in the sector and it almost frustrated the investigation and the recovery. As a matter of fact, some forces in NNPC and PPMC did not want us to go this far. In spite of the liberalisation of the process of obtaining foreign exchange, most marketers still rely on the NNPC for their supplies. Our correspondent’s was unsuccessful in getting the response of the Managing Director of NPMC( former PPMC), Mr. Farouk Ahmed, to the recovery made by EFCC. Apart from calls, a text message was sent to Ahmed. He did not acknowledge the calls and the text message. The EFCC in April quizzed a former Managing Director of PPMC over some transactions and alleged purchase of houses valued at N1.3 billion off Amazon in Maitama, Asokoro and Wuse districts in Abuja. The petitioners alleged that the ex-MD acquired the houses in less than six months in office. An ex-Officio member of the Kaduna chapter of the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association (IPMAN), Bako Abdullahi Yelwa, had in February alleged that a cabal had been at work in PPMC. He said: ”PPMC members of staff are frustrating Independent Marketers. Why will they ask for a percentage of our profit before giving us allocation? And when we refuse, they frustrate the process of getting our allocation. They only give product allocation to marketers that have given them a share of their profit upfront. “For example, an Independent marketer gets an average of two allocations of Petrol (PMS) monthly and the profit from each truck is 80 thousand Naira. How can 160 thousand naira pay all my staff, service and maintain the stations and still keep me in business?” http://thenationonlineng.net/efcc-recovers-n46b-oil-marketers/ |
