If there are hundreds of refineries world wide why build more refineries ?

Let's hope it works.

Most motives behind many good gestures get defeated before the implementation due to greed lately

FG said its modular refinery is now completed and is set to increase capacity in the commercial sector.

In addition to this, the FG claims that its Petroleum Training Institute trains artisan refiners.

It noted that the refinery will advance technologies even though it is not as big as the Dangote refinery.

The Petroleum Training Institute (PTI) under the Federal Ministry of Petroleum Resources, has announced the completion of its modular refinery with plans to increase its capacity for use in the commercial sector. According to Punch report, PTI, based in Effurun, Delta state, also reportedly teaches artisanal refiners the abilities necessary for processing crude oil.

Speaking in a press conference in Abuja, Adebowale Adimula, the Chief Executive of PTI, said: "One of the areas that we have been looking at over the past few years is developing technologies in the modular refinery space. We are a training institution primarily, but when you look at the country today and the lack of technology among the artisanal refiners, one of the things we have done is to develop concepts."

To enable them to make a real contribution to the economy, he continued, the ministry is doing things differently by providing them with the training and tools they need. He said that the refinery will develop innovations in the modular refinery arena, even though it is smaller than the Dangote facility in Lekki, Lagos. Adimula added: "The facility we are working on is not to create a refinery that will now be like the Dangote refineries of this world, no. Our primary focus, which we are not losing sight of, is that we are a training institution and whatever we develop will help the advancement of technology in that space."

The National Identity Management Commission has launched a self-service solution that allows Nigerians to register for the National Identification Number from the comfort of their house through a smartphone.

The platform was launched at the commemoration of the 5th Identity Day by the Commission and the Ministry of Interior on Saturday in Abuja.

At the launch, the Commission’s Acting Director General/CEO, Abisoye Coker-Odusote, stressed the critical role of identity in the country.

She said, “Identity is more than a mere card or a number; it symbolises our existence, our entitlements, and our place within society. It unlocks access to essential services, social benefits, and pathways to personal and economic growth. It stands as a testament to our individuality while serving as a bridge to our shared humanity.”

She also stressed the need to remain vigilant in safeguarding the integrity and security of identity systems by prioritising the principles of privacy and data protection.

She added, “Above all, we must be inclusive, leaving no one behind as we endeavour to provide identity solutions for all.”

The NIMC boss also said that a proper identity management system can help the country in combating insecurity, and providing support to Nigerians, among other benefits.

On the reason for the self-service solution platform, she said “We are trying to increase the turn-around time of registration. I have heard a lot of complaints from the average Nigerians about going for a registration. It takes them a long time and it also takes them a long time to get feedback after registration has been completed.

“So, what are trying to do is to create an ease of access for you to be able to register from the comfort of your own house. If you don’t have access to a digital tool, you can approach the NIMC office or any of our front-end partners that are in your neighbourhood.”

Speaking with the press after the event, the Minister of Interior, Dr. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, said that the Federal Government intends to harmonise all data regarding the identification of Nigerians.

He said, “I want to assure you that very soon, we are working on the modalities of harmonising all identity data that we have, from BVN to the telcos, the NIMC, voters’ identification, and everything. We will be working closely with NIMC because, by law, NIMC is a statutory body that is given the power to harmonise and maintain an identity database for the nation.”

The NIMC self-service enrolment system will be powered by Banksforte Technology Limited, a subsidiary of Banksforte Group, which offers services in project management, construction engineering, ICT, and other areas.

The PUNCH observed that despite the launch on Saturday, the self-service application was not available for download yet on both PlayStore and App Store.

Speaking with the Chief Executive Officer, Barnksforte Technology Limited, Mr Dayo Bankole, said that the application was created in partnership with NIMC and is called NIMC Contactless Biometric Solution

On when it will be available for download, he said, “that will be determined by the NIMC. But I am sure it will be out as soon as possible.”

The app will save Nigerians, including those in the diaspora from having to visit a NIMC office or partner-agent office for NIN-related issues.

It also allows modifications, such as the change of one’s age, which the Barnksforte CEO said can only be done once on the application.

ABUJA – In an effort to aid traditional leaders in combating insecurity in the nation’s capital, the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister Barr. Nyesom Wike delivered 10 official vehicles to ten Third Class Chiefs in the Territory.

The gesture, according to the Minister, is in keeping with President Bola Tinubu’s renewed hope program and seeks to give royal fathers the tools they need to carry out their duties successfully.

Wike, however, underlined the value of cooperation between traditional leaders and the FCT Administration during the presentation in order to ensure peaceful cohabitation throughout the Federal Capital Territory.
He asked the chiefs to diligently do their duty and reflect the government’s action in their localities.

He urged the chiefs to carry out their duties diligently, replicating the government’s gesture in their communities.

Expressing gratitude on behalf of the traditional rulers, Alhaji Adamu Baba Yunusa, the Ona of Abaji and Chairman of the FCT Council of Traditional Rulers, thanked Wike for the vehicles.

He, however, assured the minister and the government that they would use them to promote peace and security in their respective communities.

The presentation of the official vehicles is seen as a step towards strengthening the relationship between the government and traditional rulers, as they jointly work towards maintaining peace and security in the FCT.

Peter Obi and his desperate supporters desecrated the pulpit and brought shame to the Christian faith.

Rogue pastors like Enenche, Oyedepo, Ayokunle, Onaiyekan, Oyakhilome etc should be laid on the floor and flogged seriously for lying against God and bringing shame to the holy spirit.
