Is NMDPRA Civil service? Is NNPC civil service?

A public servant is a broad term for anyone working in government or public service (teachers, police, healthcare, etc.), while a civil servant is a specific type of public servant working directly within[b] national government departments[/b], implementing policy and administering services, distinct from public bodies like the NHS or local councils.

Whatever reason Dangote has, it is definitely not for the good of the masses but for his pocket.

As he is not a philanthropist but a cut-throat businessman.

It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own interest," - Adam Smith's The Wealth of Nations (1776)

The NMDPRA boss should be commended.

He has shown that he can stand firm against any pressure.

FOLYKAZE:
The evidence abounds out there, that the importers had gotten cheaper fuel and supplied at a price fairer than Dangote's.

The report below captured Oct 30 this year, not too long again.

It is a fact that the importers are the one who forces the hand of Dangote to reduce price because they always flood the market with cheap Russian fuel. So in this view, competition must be made alive at all cost.

Togo is already under the control and auspices of the AES and by implication more loyal to the AES than ECOWAS.

But yeah, your points are valid and it pains me so much that a tiny country like Burkina Faso is holding us by the balls at the moment.

We can’t do much than to handle it diplomatically not because of our Air Craft which we will get back or burn that country to ashes if they don’t release it, but they have our men which they can kill if we don’t thread with caution. I mean, a ruthless and heartless leader like Obasanjo would have used them as collateral damage and go ahead with an escalation but we are in a fully democratic dispensation, so a lot of tact and diplomacy will have to be employed.

This wa July sha. But the fact remains to this day. Just yesterday, Tinubu approved the construction of a new HQ for the bank of industry for almost 180billion Naira to be built in Eko Atlantic. The same institution has giant offices in Abuja and Lagos which are largely unoccupied. In this government, only Lagos affairs are prioritised. No doubts about that.

Many would bring a shallow argument that Buhari did this and that. Buhari completed Lagos to Ibadan railway and Second Niger Bridge. He completed no equivalent project in the north. Goodluck Jonathan too wasn't selfishly biased to the south south region. But here we are, where other parts of the south are suffering from decrepit road infrastructure while FG is pushing money to Lagos.

There is nothing better in Civial. Some of the best roads we have today, I read were constructed by Military. Civilans are worse criminals.

FIRST TO COMMENT ON 3 CONSECUTIVE POSTS, This is the 3rd!!!


This is a commendable step by Governor AbdulRazaq in strengthening security across Kwara State. The recruitment and intensive training of 2,600 additional forest guards show a clear commitment to protecting vulnerable communities. His visit to the training ground will no doubt boost morale and reassure residents that the government is taking proactive measures. With the guards complementing ongoing military operations, the strategy promises more effective surveillance and sustained control over reclaimed areas. This coordinated approach is exactly what is needed to keep bandits and kidnappers from regaining any foothold.

Says his administration places Sharia propagation as a top priority, ranking second only to security in his Nine-point Smart Agenda.

The Sokoto State Government has rolled out new measures to strengthen Islamic propagation and support Islamic clerics across the state, including the introduction of monthly allowances for Imams, their deputies, and Mu’azzins, as well as direct cash allocations to Jumu’at mosques.

Their juju is working for them. Same with Chinese and other Asians. They see differently. Even though most of us are more intelligent and better, but we produce nothing with our intelligence. They are like ants and termites who just continue to work and before you know it, they have built a castle.
It is obvious this is beyond physical.

If the overpopulation is not working for the immensely few, then how will they get the money to pay taxes?

Why are other states not generating as much revenue as Lagos does?

What IGR did Mobolaji Johnson and Jakande generate to fund the operations of Lagos State far better in government services and public utilities several decades ago? Did the duo squeeze out $20 billion from the masses?

Why are you suggesting that I open the doors of south east Nigeria? Why are you not suggesting that I open the doors of the other five regions? What is the rationale behind this choice of yours

The Federation racked up a record N17.5tn debt to the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) in the 2024 financial year for pipeline protection, under-recovery on petrol, and other energy-security operations undertaken by the national oil company.

The figure—contained in NNPCL’s newly released 2024 consolidated financial statements—has triggered widespread public concern, with economists and industry analysts demanding a full forensic audit of the spending.

Breakdown of the N17.5tn Cost

Findings show that N7.13tn of the expenditure was incurred as energy-security costs to keep petrol prices stable whenever the gap widened between the exchange rate and the ex-coastal cost of imported fuel.

Another N8.67tn was spent directly on under-recovery—the financial shortfall that arises when the regulated pump price of petrol is lower than the actual landing cost.

In addition, N8.84tn was recorded under Other Receivables from the Federation, representing advance payments made by NNPCL and additional security spending on the protection of oil and gas installations.

Since assuming office, the NPA MD/CEO, Abubakar Dantsoho, has been at the fore-front of decongesting the Lagos ports, shifting emphasis eastwards to ports like Port Harcourt, Onne, Warri, and Calabar. In this report, TOLA ADENUBI looks at efforts geared towards reviving these sleeping ports. Excerpts:

For years, the Eastern ports of Port Harcourt, Onne, Warri, and Calabar had all been left in their shadows despite their proximity to key markets and resource corridors up North, with Lagos ports always being the first choice when it comes to shipping activities.

Despite its potentials, weak infrastructure and limited connectivity kept the Eastern ports underused with Lagos absorbing over 90 per cent of maritime traffic while Eastern facilities ran below a third of their capacity.

But as at today, that story is beginning to change. Under the leadership of Abubakar Dantsoho, the eastern ports are beginning to be repositioned as competitive gateway by the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA). For shippers, the benefits are obvious- shorter turnaround times, closer access to the South-East and North-Central industrial clusters, lower transportation costs, and the ability to move agricultural and mineral products more efficiently.

All these are aimed at deepening Nigeria’s participation in the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) regime.

To demonstrate his hands-on approach, the NPA MD/CEO has embarked on a series of tours focused on driving investment into the Eastern Ports. These tours have started to yield expressions of interest for Rivers, Calabar, and Burutu Ports. One of these WAS the recently celebrated call of the wholly Nigerian-owned MV Ocean Dragon at Onne’s West African Container Terminal (WACT) on July 31, 2025.

With a 349 TEU capacity, the MV Ocean Dragon shall be plying routes across West, Central, and Southern Africa, exemplifying the “Nigeria First” policy and pronouncing Nigeria as a key player in intra African trade. Through these efforts, the NPA is showing its commitment to integrating Nigerian producers with global markets and maximising the immediate benefits of the proximate African trade corridor by water.

On February 7/2019, the Federal High Court in Lagos issued a warrant for the arrest of Oke and his wife Folasade following an application by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). Just before they were due to appear in court, they apparently left the country for "medical treatment," and the Nigeria media is not reporting where they are now. The EFCC further declared the couple wanted after their failure to respond to a court summons.

They were charged with the theft and laundering of staggering amounts of public money. One of the EFCC charges relates to roughly $43 million, £28 thousand, and ₦23 million—all in cash—that the EFCC found in their apartment in Lagos in 2017 following a raid. Another charge relates to $160 million that the couple allegedly diverted from the FG for their own use.

In 2017, Oke was suspended as Director General of the NIA. Vice president Yemi Osibaijo headed a committee that investigated the incident and recommended to President Buhari that the he be removed.

The EFCC withdrew the charges in June 2023, less than one month after President Tinubu took oath of office.
