 So Linus Williams (Blord) has been released from Kuje prison after fulfilling his bail conditions, finally, freedom after a few weeks in custody. However, here’s the current position of his case:  He is still expected to show up and stand his trial.  If he fails to appear in court even for one day, his bail can be revoked and a bench warrant may be issued against him, meaning a return to Kuje. If the prosecution cannot prove the charges against him, he will be discharged and acquitted. If the prosecution proves the charges, he may be sentenced and sent back to Kuje. I think he should seek a peaceful resolution to the case. Congrats to him on his freedom for now.

NASS To Review NEITI Act

National Assembly has pledged to review the Act that established the Nigeria Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative, NEITI, to ensure the optimum performance of the regulatory body in enhancing transparency and accountability in the nation’s extractive industries.

The Joint Committees on Petroleum Resources stated this when they received in Abuja the Global Leadership of Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative, IETI.

The delegation interacted with Federal Lawmakers on how transparency and accountability in the extractive industries could be improved for the general wellbeing of the citizens in line with global best practices.

The Joint Committee on Petroleum Resources, chaired by the Senate Committee on Petroleum Upstream, Senator Eteng Williams, maintained that the parliament will proffer adequate legislative instruments to make sure that Nigerians benefit from the nation’s natural resources in line with the Tenth Assembly’s mandate.

The Chairman of the House Committee on Petroleum Downstream, Mr. Ikenga Ogochinyere, explained that, as a legislative arm, they would strengthen the legal framework that will empower the Nigeria Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (NEITI) to perform efficiently.

The Executive Secretary of NEITI, Dr. Orji Ogbonanya Orji, emphasized that an action plan has been provided by the body to aid the legislative oversight functions of the Parliament in tracking and monitoring the activities of extractive industries.

The leader of the delegation, Mr. Bady Balde, said their mission in Nigeria was to encourage the government on how the natural resources could be effectively utilized.
