PoliticsFuel Strike: Uniabuja Issues `no Work, No Pay’ Warning To ASUU, Others by willywasco(op): 5:48pm On May 22, 2016
The management of University of Abuja (UniAbuja) says it may enforce the ``no work no pay’’ directive on unions that joined Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) strike over recent increase in fuel price.
 

A statement issued by the Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Michael Adikwu, on Sunday in Abuja said the warning was in compliance with the directive from the Federal Government.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that the Federal Government, on May 11, announced an increase in the price of petrol from N86.50k to N145 per litre.

PoliticsBuhari Didn’t Receive Amina’s Alleged Abductor —presidency by willywasco(op): 12:33pm On May 21, 2016
The Presidency on Friday said there was no truth in the insinuations in some quarters that President Muhammadu Buhari, while receiving the rescued Chibok girl, Amina Ali, in the Presidential Villa, Abuja on Thursday, also received the girl’s alleged abductor.

The clarification was contained in a message posted on the official Facebook page of the Presidency, Aso Rock Villa.


The Presidency explained that the man who accompanied Amina to meet Buhari was her brother and not the alleged abductor.

The statement read, “Our attention has been drawn to rumours and insinuations that the young man who accompanied Amina Ali to the State House to meet President Buhari is her alleged terrorist abductor.

“This is false; there is absolutely no truth to it. The young man who was in the State House alongside Amina and her baby and mother is her older brother.

PoliticsFayose Condemns Petrol Price Increment, Says “FG Insensitive To Nigerians Plight by willywasco(op): 6:39pm On May 11, 2016
Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose has condemned the increment from N86.50 to N145 of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) otherwise known as
petrol, describing it as insensitive and demonstration of the level of hatred the President Mohammadu Buhari led All Progressives Congress (APC) government had for Nigerians.


The governor, who said the over 70 per cent increment was another vindication of his predictions on what to expect in 2016, added that it was now clear that the scarcity of petrol being experienced in the last three months was deliberately orchestrated by the federal government to pave way for the already conceived increment.

PoliticsPress Statement On Fuel Subsidy Removal In Nigeria, By Kachikwu by willywasco(op): 5:28pm On May 11, 2016
11 May 2016 | PRESS STATEMENT ON CURRENT FUEL SITUATION IN NIGERIA

We have just finished a meeting of various stakeholders presided over by His Excellency, the Vice President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

The meeting had in attendance the Leadership of the Senate, House of Representatives, Governors Forum, and Labour Unions (NLC, TUC, NUPENG, and PENGASSAN).

The meeting reviewed:

1. The current fuel scarcity and supply difficulties in the country.

2. The exorbitant prices being paid by Nigerians for the product. These prices range on the average from N150 to N250 per litre currently.

3. The meeting also noted that the main reason for the current problem is the inability of importers of petroleum products to source foreign exchange at the official rate due to the massive decline of foreign exchange earnings of the federal government. As a result, private marketers have been unable to meet their approximate 50% portion of total national supply of PMS.

Following a detailed presentation by the Honorable Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, it has now become obvious that the only option and course of action now open to the government is to take the following decisions:

1. In order to increase and stabilise the supply of the product, any Nigerian entity is now free to import the product, subject to existing quality specifications and other guidelines issued by Regulatory Agencies.

2. All Oil Marketers will be allowed to import PMS on the basis of FOREX procured from secondary sources and accordingly PPPRA template will reflect this in the pricing of the product.

Pursuant to this, PPPRA has informed me that it will be announcing a new price band effective today, 11th May, 2016 and that the new price for PMS will not be above N145 per litre.

We expect that this new policy will lead to improved supply and competition and eventually drive down pump prices, as we have experienced with diesel. In addition, this will also lead to increased product availability and encourage investments in refineries and other parts of the downstream sector. It will also prevent diversion of petroleum products and set a stable environment for the downstream sector in Nigeria.

We share the pains of Nigerians but, as we have constantly said, the inherited difficulties of the past and the challenges of the current times imply that we must take difficult decisions on these sorts of critical national issues. Along with this decision, the federal government has in the 2016 budget made an unprecedented social protection provision to cushion the current challenges.

We believe in the long term, that improved supply and competition will drive down prices.

The DPR and PPPRA have been mandated to ensure strict regulatory compliance including dealing decisively with anyone involved in hoarding petroleum products.

Thank you.

PoliticsFayose Blames Buhari For Cameron’s Corruption Insult On Nigeria by willywasco(op): 5:11pm On May 11, 2016
Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose has said President Mohammadu Buhari’s utterances outside Nigeria was the reason the British Prime
Minister, David Cameron described Nigeria as “fantastically corrupt”, saying;

“What do you expect from the international community when the president of a nation keeps going abroad to say that his people are corrupt?”

He said it was annoying that President Buhari said he was embarrassed and shocked by Cameron’s comment, adding that instead of telling
Nigerians that he was shocked, the president should apologise to Nigerians for demarketing the country and his people.

Dirt, criminality everywhere
Outbreak of epidemic feared
Minister’s silence worries residents

Abuja, the nascent capital of Nigeria, reputed to be the fastest growing city in Africa is gradually losing its candour and prestige. The city is becoming opposite of what the founding fathers had in mind- a beautiful, serene, safe, well-organized and comfortable capital city offering residents and visitors peace of mind and good ambience for business, leisure and relaxation.

Regrettably, reports from our correspondents who went round the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, show that presently, Abuja may not be the safest place following incessant criminal activities that are on the rise, and the dirtiest nature of the streets within and around the seat of federal government.
