TEXT OF THE PRESS CONFERENCE ADDRESSED BY THE HONOURABLE MINISTER OF INFORMATION AND CULTURE, ALHAJI LAI MOHAMMED, IN LAGOS ON THURSDAY, 30 DEC, 2021 TO SHOWCASE THE ACHIEVEMENTS OF THE BUHARI ADMINISTRATION DURING THE OUTGOING YEAR 2021

1. Gentlemen, Good Morning, and thanks for honouring our invitation to this press conference which, in line with our tradition, we have called to brief you on the achievements of the Buhari Administration in 2021. In view of the long list of achievements and time constraints, we will go straight into the highlights and then provide you with a fuller list.

2. Let me admit straightaway that the year has not been devoid of challenges. For the outgoing year in particular, the major challenge has been that of insecurity. In spite of this and the usual economic challenges, especially the dwindling resources available to the government, the Administration has availed itself creditably, as we will be demonstrating shortly.

3. As I said in my introductory remarks, our biggest challenge in the outgoing year is in the area of security. Despite the enormity of the challenge, our military has continued to live up to their billing. We owe them a debt of gratitude for their patriotism and sacrifice. We just can't appreciate them enough, as you will soon see when I break down their achievements in the year under review.

4. FIGHT AGAINST INSECURITY

To keep our country safe, the Armed Forces of Nigeria (AFN) has set up various operations across the country. These include the Joint Task Force (JTF) North East, tagged Operation HADIN KAI covering the North East region; the JTF SS, tagged Operation DELTA SAFE covering the South South region; the JTF NW, known as Operation HADARIN DAJI covering the North West region; Operation SAFE HAVEN covering Plateau, parts of Kaduna and Bauchi States; Operation WHIRL STROKE covering Benue, Nasarawa and Taraba States; JTF SW, referred to as Operation AWATSE and covering Lagos and Ogun States; Operation THUNDER STRIKE covering Abuja-Kaduna Highway and Operation WHIRL PUNCH covering parts of Kaduna State.

5. Gentlemen, in the North East Zone under Operation HADIN KAI, a combination of kinetic and non-kinetic operations, coupled with a review of strategies, led to the neutralization of over 1000 terrorists, rescue of 2000 civilians and the surrender of over 22,000 terrorists including their families. Many arms and ammunition were also recovered. This is in addition to destruction of several IED/bomb making factories of the ISWAP/BHT. Under Operation HADARIN DAJI in the North West, the conduct of offensive clearance operations, raids and air operations resulted in the neutralization of about 427 bandits, arrest of 257 bandits, rescue of 897 civilians and recovery of 3,087 livestock.

Similarly, Operation WHIRL PUNCH covering parts of Kaduna neutralized about 215 bandits, arrested 133 bandits, rescued 296 civilians and recovered 136 livestock, while Operation THUNDER STRIKE neutralized 36 bandits, arrested 74, rescued 296 civilians and recovered 136 livestock. In the North Central, raids and clearance operations conducted by Operation SAFE HAVEN neutralized 91 criminal elements, arrested 155 suspects, rescued 159 civilians and recovered 3,259 livestock. For its part, Operation WHIRL STROKE neutralized 158 criminals, arrested 151 suspects and rescued 183 civilians. Operation DELTA SAFE in the South-South destroyed about 1,520 illegal refineries, confiscated 5,315 storage facilities and impounded 617 boats, amongst other items. Additionally, about 74,297,425 litres of Dual Purpose Kerosene (DPK), 41,971,693 litres of crude oil and 88,350 litres of PMS were recovered. Furthermore, 174 trucks and 13 vessels were impounded while 755 illegal oil bunkerers were arrested and 153 assorted weapons recovered. In the South West, patrols and clearance operations by troops of Operation AWATSE led to the arrest of 46 persons for various forms of criminalities while several vehicles, jerricans, motorcycles and electricity generators used for illegal bunkering were seized.

6. The effectiveness of the military was enhanced by the leadership provided by President Muhammadu Buhari and the unwavering commitment of the armed forces and its leadership. The procurement of modern platforms for the armed forces has also gone a long way in raising the level of their operational readiness and efficiency, in addition to boosting their capabilities. During the period under review, the Nigerian Army procured 160 MRAPS, 150 trucks and 60 APCs to improve its equipment holding. Various kits were equally provided for troops. This is in addition to the provision of accommodation for troops and the recruitment of over 10,000 personnel into the Army. The Nigerian Navy (NN), for its part, commissioned the FALCON EYE Maritime Domain Awareness Capability, the third locally-built Seaward Defense Boat, one helicopter, 4 inshore patrol boats and 90 Rigid Hull Inflatable Boats. Over 1,500 personnel were recruited into the Navy during the year. The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) took delivery of 12 Super Tucanos and 3 JF-17 Thunder Fighter Aircraft and other platforms with which it has conducted several Air interdictions, provided close air support to ground troops and destroyed several illegal structures and equipment belonging to terrorists, bandits and other criminal elements.

7. The Armed Forces of Nigeria has also contributed immensely to International peace and security efforts with its robust participation in the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali (MINUSMA) and the regional initiative, the ECOWAS Military Intervention in Gambia (ECOMIG). The Nigerian military's continued participation in these Missions has ensured their viability and sustenance towards achieving their military and political goals. Overall, the good news is that the military, in spite of its achievements, is not resting on its oars. The Military has assured that it is also poised, in fulfillment of its constitutional duties, to address the myriad of evolving contemporary threats, particularly as the 2023 elections draw nearer.

8. Still on the fight against insecurity, the implementation of the community policing initiative of the current administration has led to the training of 25,000 constabularies in several police colleges across the country. The successful officers who were trained on basic police duties, modern intelligence gathering techniques, rule of law, etc. were deployed to their Local Governments of Origin to aid in intelligence gathering and improve police visibility in their communities. Also, in an effort to improve the police/citizens ratio, 418 Cadet officers of regular course 3 were successfully graduated in June 2021 and deployed into the operational asset of the Nigeria Police Force. Through the Police Trust Fund, 200 Buffalo branded vehicles, bulletproof vest, protective helmets, drugs, and medical equipment as well as arms and ammunition, riot control equipment, and combat equipment were procured for the Police Special Weapon and Tactical Squad (SWAT). The Ministry of Police Affairs has also entered into a contract agreement for the supply of police Anti Riot Equipment with Poly Technology of China through a Government-to-Government arrangement at a cost of 44 million U.S. Dollars. These equipment will go a long way in boosting the capacity of the police to control civil unrest in the most efficient and civil manner.

9. ECONOMY

The recovery of the economy remained on a steady path throughout the year 2021. As you are aware, gentlemen, many countries around the world face unprecedented challenges, starting from 2020, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and Nigeria is no exception. The Nigerian economy was hit by the pandemic in mid- 2020, and the economic disruptions led to a recession. The poor performance of the economy during the COVID-19 era affected output growth, trade, household welfare and livelihood. However, this led to a quick response by the federal government with the rolling out of effective fiscal and monetary policies as well as health-related policies intended to curb the spread of the pandemic and mitigate the negative impact of the pandemic on the economy. This has yielded considerable results. For example, the country’s domestic growth in the first three quarters of 2021 was positive, recording real GDP of 0.51 percent in Q1, 5.01 percent in Q2 and 4.03 percent in Q3 2021, This was an improvement from a declining performance in the first three quarters of 2020 (which led to economic recession) put at 1.87 percent in Q1, -6.10 percent in Q2 and -3.62 percent in Q3 2020. Nevertheless, the fourth quarter 2020 recorded a slight improvement of 0.11 percent, ushering in positive growth rates in the three quarters of 2021. This economic performance in 2021 shows a steady improvement in growth over the last three quarters of 2020, and this can be attributed to government policies and strategies such as the Economic Sustainability Plan; the N500 billion COVID 19 Crisis Intervention Fund etc.

10. In the oil sector, real growth shows poorer performance in 2021, recording 2.21% (year-on-year) in Q1 2021, -12.65% in Q2 2021 and –10.73% in Q3 2021, from stronger growth of 5.06% in Q1 2020, -6.63% in Q2 2020, and -13.89% in Q3 2020. However, oil production in million barrel per day continued to decline in 2021, from 2.07mbpd in Q1 2020,1.81mbpd in Q2 2020, 1.67mbpd in Q3 2020 to 1.72mbpd in Q1 2021, 1.61mbpd in Q2 2021 and 1.57mbpd in Q3 2021. Non-oil sector indicated better performance of 0.79% in Q1 2021, 6.74% in Q2 2021 and 5.44% in Q3 2021, compared to 1.55% in Q1 2020, -6.05% in Q2 2020, and -2.51% in Q3 2020. In Foreign Trade, Nigeria witnessed dwindling performance in 2020, arising from trade restrictions on accounts of COVID-19 pandemic. Disruptions of trading activities driven by the pandemic further weakened the balance of trade witnessed in Q4 2019 in the subsequent quarters. Consequently, total imports in the first three quarters of 2021 rose by 57.13%, from N13.97 in the corresponding quarters of 2020 to N21.95 trillion. Similarly, total exports grew by 40.62%, which was N13.12 trillion in the first three quarters of 2021, compared to N9.33trillion in the corresponding period, an indication of improved trading activities although with a deficit position. Over the same period crude oil export improved considerably at N10.03 trillion, compared to N6.92 trillion, showing a growth rate of 44.93%, while Non-oil exports grew by 21.17% - from N1.19trillion to N1.44trillion over the same period. Inflation rate has continued to decline on a year-on-year basis since April 2021 when 18.12% was recorded. Looking at the trend, a declining rate was recorded from 17.93% in May to 17.01% in August, 15.99% in October and 15.40% November 2021. It is projected that proper implementation of the proposed 2022 project of N17.13trillion, and Medium-Term Expenditure Framework & Fiscal Strategy Paper 2022-2024 are likely to improve the performance of the economy.. Also, judicious implementation of the Petroleum Industry Act will likely improve oil production/sales stability; relatively high oil prices will enhance revenue performance and budget implementation, while strengthening security will improve output growth of the economy.

11. OIL AND GAS SECTOR

Undoubtedly one of the greatest achievements of the Administration in 2021, and indeed in the past several decades, was recorded in the oil and gas sector, a sector very critical to the nation's economic well-being. The passage and signing into law of the Petroleum Industry Act (PIA) is a landmark achievement. Many have described it as the most profound event in the Nigerian oil and gas space in the last 20 years. The PIA is envisaged to foster investment in the industry and delineate responsibilities to the various institutions. Its key objectives are:- to establish a commercialized National Oil Company (nnpc Ltd.) - to entrench accountability and good governance- to promote the exploration and exploitation of the petroleum resources in Nigeria for the benefit of all Nigerians as well as foster the sustainable development of the host communities.

12. Overall, the PIA serves to ensure the efficient and effective technical and operational regulation of the upstream, midstream and downstream sectors of the oil industry through the formation of the Nigerian Upstream Regulatory Commission and the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Regulatory Authority, among others.

13. Also worthy of note is the transformation of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (nnpc). The nation’s national oil entity has witnessed many changes and transformation through the decades. From its take-off on 1st April 1977 as a merger of the Nigerian National Oil Corporation (NNOC) and the Federal Ministry of Petroleum and Energy Resources, the nnpc - now re-christened nnpc Limited - has been undergoing the kind of transformation designed to re-invent the entity for greater efficiency and value creation. Yet, the changes and the unprecedented deluge of reformations in 2021 eclipse previous attempts to restructure the oil company. The tempo created with the passage and eventual presidential assent of the PIA was sustained with the quick activation of Part V of the new law which requires the incorporation of a commercial and profit-focused National Oil Company (NOC) within six (6) months of the passage into law. Thus, the nnpc Management – on behalf of the Federal Government - incorporated the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (nnpc) Limited under the Companies and Allied Matters Act. Under the new arrangement, nnpc Ltd will, on behalf of the Federation, take over assets, interests and liabilities of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (nnpc).

14. Another major achievement in the sector is the posting of a N287 billion profit, after tax, by the nnpc. It was the first time in 44 years that the Corporation has recorded such profit, which the nnpc attributed to aggressive cost cutting measures, cost savings through renegotiation of contracts by up to 30%, improved efficiency through business automation, emphasis on commercially-focused investment and non-interference in the management of the corporation’s affairs, among other factors. The construction/rehabilitation of 21 Roads under the Federal Government's Road Infrastructure Development and Refurbishment Investment Tax Credit Scheme is also a major achievement. Recall, gentlemen, that the Federal Executive Council (FEC) approved N621.2 billion for the nnpc to take over the reconstruction of 21 federal roads across the six geopolitical zones of the country. The construction and rehabilitation of the selected roads are meant as strategic intervention under the Federal Government Road Infrastructure and Refreshment Tax Credit Scheme.

15. INFRASTRUCTURE - WORKS AND HOUSING

Without question, an area in which the present Administration has distinguished itself is in the provision of key infrastructures, which is important to the growth and development of any economy. In its efforts to provide basic infrastructure, especially roads and housing, the Federal Ministry of Works and Housing carried out the following projects in 2021. (I) Nnewi-Uduma Road, Sections I and II (26.27km) in Enugu and Ebonyi States (II) Kano-Maiduguri Road Section II (100.08KM), (Shuwarin-Azare) in Jigawa and Bauchi States (III) Kano-Maiduguri Road Section III (Azare-Potiskum) 106.34km in Bauchi and Yobe States (IV) Vandeikya-Obudu Cattle Ranch Road Phase I and II (24km) in Benue and Cross River States (V) Sokoto-Tambuwal-Jega-Kontagora-Makera Road (304km)

16. Also, various highway and bridge projects at various stages of completion are ongoing across the six-geopolitical zones of the country. The bridges include the much-talked-about 2nd Niger Bridge, which is currently at 78% completion and is expected to be ready by November 2022. Ongoing work on the bridge consists of the construction of a 1.59km long bridge and 10.3km length of approach roads. The total length of the Main Work is 11.90km. The bridge and approach roads are 2x3 lane expressways. Other ancillary works include the construction of two secondary bridges at Oko Amakun (21.70m) and Atani Road (21.70m). Also to be constructed is a new cloverleaf interchange at Onitsha-Owerri Road. Several culverts and drainage structures will also be constructed. There is also the 360-meter bridge at Ikom in Cross River State, which was completed in 2021 and awaiting commissioning; the 400-meter border bridge between Nigeria and Cameroon at Mfum and Ekok, which was also completed in 2021 and is now awaiting commissioning.

DubaiLandLord:
I'm sure he will employ students from the South too as time goes.

But do not forget dangote refinery is a private owned company. And the oil is from the South South Geopolitical Region.

GEJ should have done something about how more Northerners were getting employed into the nnpc, but the weakening did nothing about it.

He was busy looting.

itsme01:


For every federal recruitment, Katsina youths got far more qouta than Anambra youth, EFCC, CBN are or proof

Buhari's town Daura and other town has its land and real estate prices worth 1000 times more when Transport University, nnpc Refinery, nnpc mega hospital begins operations.... That Jonathan failed to use power to benefit his people doesn't make everyone like him

Vistra40:


The question is how would the ethnicity of the next president help our destinies?

Hessian:
https://thenationonlineng.net/release-list-of-2019-2020-recruitment-exercise-applicants-beg-nnpc/

I hope NCDMB won't allow this take this shape!

Hessian:
Never pause your life ambition for any of these federal government jobs. Most are inseparable from disappointments. The current state of the Economy won't encourage adding to the Federal government recurrent expenditure, except................

The EH applicants of nnpc 2019/2020 recruitment know better!

Hessian:
Any recruitment that is not for military/paramilitary personnel won't see the light of the day. That is the bitter truth! The interviewees of the EH component of nnpc 2019/2020 recruitment can testify to this. This government can no longer create more jobs!

Owopariola01:


Thanks for the info, boss, we appreciate.

But why do the government like canceling big recruitment sef? Naso dem wan do during nnpc until they later shut out Experience Hire employ only GTs.

But God dey. We can only thank God.

Ahmed4002:
Congratulations to you all.

As you can see, the appointment letter is dated September.

So many speculations here and there.
That's why I decide to keep quite even when I was asked.. What's the update, you said *Printed* and still no shows.

Wishing all the successful ones all the best in their careers.

Do endeavor to apply for the next supplementary application.


Initially they had plans to cancel all the process and starts afresh, looking at the fact the recruitment was long over due, some people might have gain another opportunity, age, sick, died,travel etc. but the senate stands for it, so that's why only few were selected from the first list and majority from the second list, but still more officers are need.

Just try to apply for the new recruitment process.

All the best in your endeavour's.

Signing out here.

Lemme share my story. It might just inspire someone out there.

Never give up, In whatever you believe, just never give up
2019 was a big year, a year of hope. nnpc, NCS, immigration and prison service advertised for vacancies.
I applied for all.
NB: I never believed in seeking jobs through connection ever since I got scammed.,I once made attempt at NCS in 2016. I was scammed 10,600 naira processing fee (CHINDO I. UBA, A/C NO 1130537304, SKYE BANK, whoeer you are, wherever you are. E no go better for you)
.
Going forward, I got no feedback from immigration an prison service. Buh nnpc did invite me for CBT and interview. Went through the whole process. February 14, 2020, Valentine's day, nnpc dropped success mail to the lucky ones. I got nothing. I was downcasted. I can still remembered how I came back from work, feeling weak inside, I took my bath, dressed my bed. And slept till the next day. Morning came still no mail from almighty nnpc. I decided to move on.
I was left with only NCS as the last hope. Mind you we've sat for CBT buh no response from them thereafter.
The COVID struck, then came lockdown and economic downturn.
There was rumour of the recruitment being suspended. Lockdown was lifted, August through to December, still no news.
I gave up, I assumed it was over. I decided to focus on the job I was doing with it's meagre pay.
New year 2021 came knocking. I was cleaning my room one morning in preparation to usher in the new year. I came across my application slips. I wanted to tear it and throw it off. Buh something just struck my heart to hold unto it.

Fast forward to mid February 2021. I had issue with my new boss at my place of work. She was attacking me at the slightest opportunity.
One Friday like that around 1p.m or thereabout, a brother and friend called me "Alaye, congratulations. Customs shortlist you o". I was the only one I the office. My other colleagues have gone for jumaat prayer. I shouted for joy. Asked the friend to forward me the list.
I checked. It was indeed my name.
Buh then, 3,500 names were shortlisted. Meaning surely people would be dropped. Fear struck me again buh I put myself together.
I asked my boss to grant me leave from work for 5 working days, that I wanted to attend a conference. She reluctantly granted me, hammering on It that my duties will be left unattended to for one whole week. She even gave me 1k.
Off to Gwagwalada..... With my full chest full of hope.
The whole process was encouraging. Result verification was fine. Other physical test. Endurance race..... I ran like my life depends on it....
The officials congrats us. Ask us to prepare for camp cos we will be summoned soon. I was happy and believed i had landed the Job.
March went bye, April, May, June, July..... We were told soon, 5 months isn't something to describe as soon. My high hopes was becoming thin. Call came in from a fellow applicant that we've connected immediately after the 1st screening. Customs don drop list.... Waited for the PDF to circulate but it took time. Left work to get the news paper.
All the names in it were strange. My name was not found. Again I said it's over. Then NCS explained "it was a supplementary list. Hope came alive again, but with more competition.
Fast forward to the present day. After so many predictions, counter predictions and speculations, November 1, my guy man called again as he did in July, padi, Final List don drop o. I ask him "you see ur name" his reply, the screenshot circulating is not clear, and some people are already lamenting". Omo, that message is not encouraging, but with what he said I wasn't afraid or anxious.
I checked the WhatsApp group I was on over 100 messages.
Read the message through, just a few said they saw their names.... And there was the PDF staring at me. I downloaded, scroll through, and there was my name, against my application number. It was me.
It seems like I was dreaming. I closed my eye and opened it again. It was definitely my name. You have to imagine how I did that CR7 jump of celebration in my room. Fulfillment came, on the first day of a new month.

I had always believed I would get a government job without connection, and I did got it.
14/Feb/2020.... I missed nnpc job. A year later 12/Feb/2021 NCS came calling.... And it here in full. I got the job, my guy man got in too.

Truly, good things come to those who wait.
Congratulations to all those who landed this job. And if you didn't, don't give up, what's truly yours will locate you, at the appointed time. Remember, don't give up.
Peace unto everyone of us.

March went bye, April, May, June, July..... We were told soon, 5 months isn't something to describe as soon. My high hopes was becoming thin. Call came in from a fellow applicant that we've connected immediately after the 1st screening. Customs don drop list.... Waited for the PDF to circulate but it took time. Left work to get the news paper.
All the names in it were strange. My name was not found. Again I said it's over. Then NCS explained "it was a supplementary list. Hope came alive again, but with more competition.
Fast forward to the present day. After so many predictions, counter predictions and speculations, November 1, my guy man called again as he did in July, padi, Final List don drop o. I ask him "you see ur name" his reply, the screenshot circulating is not clear, and some people are already lamenting". Omo, that message is not encouraging, but with what he said I wasn't afraid or anxious.
I checked the WhatsApp group I was on over 100 messages.
Read the message through, just a few said they saw their names.... And there was the PDF staring at me. I downloaded, scroll through, and there was my name, against my application number. It was me.
It seems like I was dreaming. I closed my eye and opened it again. It was definitely my name. You have to imagine how I did that CR7 jump of celebration in my room. Fulfillment came, on the first day of a new month.

I had always believed I would get a government job without connection, and I did got it.
14/Feb/2020.... I missed nnpc job. A year later 12/Feb/2021 NCS came calling.... And it here in full. I got the job, my guy man got in too.

Truly, good things come to those who wait.
Congratulations to all those who landed this job. And if you didn't, don't give up, what's truly yours will locate you, at the appointed time. Remember, don't give up.
Peace unto everyone of us.
