Lamenting the development, Senator Enang said: “That will be a national shame, humiliation and embarrassment. The refinery in Niger was built with about $200 million and yet we have spent over $1 billion to do turn around maintenance in our refineries which are still not working. It is a shame and I pray that the fuel will not get into the car of any big man.”

Senator Obende on his part said: “For me, it shows that if we cannot manage our oil sector, then something is wrong. I do not know when they started because we started first, and oil is our main stay, and that we cannot maintain our local consumption shows that something is wrong.” Obende asked for a total overhaul of the sector.

Governor Babatunde Fashola of Lagos, on Tuesday, asked the Federal Government to refund the N16 billion deducted from the state's allocation for investment in power.

Addressing members of the Senate Committee on Privatisation during their visit to Lagos, Fashola said the state had invested in the power project but was yet to get full value for money.

“We invested in Power Plant; the power was not dedicated to Lagos, but they have deducted about N16 billion of our money in spite of court orders. Now, we get punished for taking the initiative,” he said.

He said the money had to be refunded to remove clogs that could affect the privatisation of the power sector.

"There is a standing liability to us by the PHCN (Power Holding Corporation of Nigeria), the illegal deductions of N16 billion for power that we did not get, for the power that other states used," he added.

"Now, those are issues of social and economic injustice that must be resolved before we can even have a successful privatisation exercise."

The governor also said he had written to the National Assembly to make appropriation to refund the money.

"If the PHCN workers that went on strike at the onset of Power Reforms were paid, why should we not be paid because we did not go on demonstration; we are being civil,” he said.

The Governor also called on the Committee to assist in creating “Greenfield Power Distribution Companies”, saying they would act as back-ups for the 11 distribution companies carved out of the PHCN.

The Committee Chairman, Senator Gbenga Obadara, said the committee's visit was to interface with the Lagos State Government on "areas of mutual interest in the drive towards improvement in the Energy Sector."

rhymz: Mr Man you are a clown!!!
Until 2005, who was the VC of convenant?
Even now that he is the Chancellor with a pastor as Prochancellor does he not still influence the decisions of the Vice Chancellor of the school who prolly was handpicked by Oyedepo?? Guy if you have got nothing factual to say just bury your head in your yansh, i am tired of you riff-raffs trying to shut people with opposing views up. I have provided you with evidence of the expulsion of over a hundred students, what else is your argument, "wise one??"

afam4eva: This is a waste of resources if you ask me. Why not equip all school libraries with desktop computers before thinking of giving every student a tablet.

soladisc: This country is something else, simply because this Woman refused to allow corruption in SEC they have to remove her. She refused them to bring in candidate for the recently conducted recruitment, she insisted that promotion should be based on competence and qualification, they refused. The problem in this country is followership not leadership. Someone should please answer this question.

If it is true that election were rigged in this country, who rigged it? Is it Jonathan or Tinubu or Babangida Aliyu that rigged it or the so called stupid followers who snatch ballot boxes or re-write election figures for these people. Until we open our eyes to reality, this country will not move forward.
