Assuming no unforeseen circumstances, Dangote Refinery is expected to make its first delivery of refined premium motor spirit, pms, to the Nigerian market by September 2024. The Federal Government has also announced that sales of crude oil to Dangote and other local refineries will begin on October 1, 2024. To address concerns about pump prices and dollar-naira exchange rates, the Federal Executive Council approved a plan. The plan offers 450,000 barrels for domestic consumption in naira to Nigerian refineries, with Dangote Refinery as the pilot. To begin with, this directive to the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) marks a…

Deconstructing The Pervasive Peace Of The Graveyard – Nwaokobia Jnr

Deconstructing The Pervasive Peace Of The Graveyard – Nwaokobia Jnr

Column, News, Opinion, Politics, , ,
(Culled from My Morning Show Arise TV Interview of Sunday 25th August, 2024). Today unlike most days I am dressed from head to toe in white… White emblematizes and epitomizes peace, but here I am opposed to the peace of the graveyard contrived and procured by supporters of the present watch who are desperately dividing our Country on ethnic, regional and religious lines. Some have taken our national debate to an abysmal low. They argue that since the North was largely quiet throughout the 8 years of locust superintended over by Mohammadu Buhari, the South should and must oblige Tinubu…

I Shall Query What Goes On In The States, I Shall Also Demand Responsible And Responsive Leadership At The Centre.

Since the #ENDBADGOVERNANCE protestation, I have been inundated with requests, and besieged to lead a group of NGOs in proactive advocacy action to and across the States of the Federation. The mission is to assess, access and call out the States that are not delivering democracy dividends to their people. And to hail, applaud and encourage the States that are doing good to continue to do so. Will this new challenge stop the punches on those at the Centre, absolutely not. Yes, whilst we continue to ask for the Restructuring of this dysfunctional enterprise ditto pushing through with the call…

“I have heard you loud and clear. I understand the pain and frustration that drive these protests, and I want to assure you that our government is committed to listening and addressing the concerns of our citizens”. These were the words of President Bola Tinubu in a broadcast to the nation on the now-suspended #EndBadGovernanceInNigeria protests. Among other things, the protests have highlighted the plight of Nigeria's forgotten poor, who are not just passive bystanders but active voices demanding change. The brief nature of this outcry finds its flow in the poor’s ability to sustain their demands and hold their…

NYA Expresses Disappointment Over Tinubu’s Response To Protests, Accuses Him of Narcissist Leadership.

NYA Expresses Disappointment Over Tinubu’s Response To Protests, Accuses Him of Narcissist Leadership.

Column, Metro, News, Opinion, Politics, , ,
The National Youth Alliance (NYA) is appalled and disappointed by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's address to the nation, which failed to acknowledge the fundamental issues driving the ongoing protests across Nigeria. The President's response demonstrates a clear disconnect from the harsh realities of hunger, economic hardship, and suffering faced by Nigerians. Instead of addressing the root causes of the protests, the President chose to tout his administration's achievements, which have only exacerbated the economic woes of the citizenry. The removal of fuel subsidies, touted as a necessary reform, has plunged millions of Nigerians into deeper poverty and hardship. We question…
