 Dangote Refinery To Supply 60 Million Litres Of Petrol Weekly To IPMAN To Boost Crude Imports The Dangote Petroleum Refinery has reached an agreement to supply 60 million litres of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) to the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN) on a weekly basis, which translates to 240 million litres per month. This comes as the $20bn Lekki-based refinery seeks to raise billions of dollars to import crude oil and increase production to reach its full capacity of 650,000 barrels per day. IPMAN National Publicity Secretary, Chinedu Ukadike, confirmed that the association is finalizing discussions with Dangote and expects to start lifting PMS from the refinery before the end of November. The agreement has already led to a drop in petrol prices by N10 to N15 due to increased competition in the downstream sector following deregulation. In the past 42 days, the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC) and other marketers have imported over two bil

Alleged $6.2m Fraud: Emefiele Awarded Contracts without Bidding Processes-Witness


The10th Prosecution Witness, (PW10), 

Stephen Salau Gana,  in the trial of former governor of Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, Godwin Emefiele has disclosed

 before Justice Hamza Mu’azu of the Federal Capital Territory, (FCT) High Court Maitama, Abuja,   that the company, April 16 16 Investment Limited, belonging to Sa’adatu Ramalan Yero, a staff of the apex bank was awarded a contract for the supply of vehicles to the CBN, valued at N99.9 million by direct procurement without a competitive bidding process.


Led in his testimony by prosecution counsel, Rotimi Oyedepo SAN, the witness who was head of CBN’s Procurement Office during Emefiele’s tenure,  revealed that a CBN governor’s threshold of 

contract approval was N100 million and that direct procurement was adopted only

 in cases where there was only one sole manufacturer, distributor or representative, or in cases of emergency or where the goods are available from only one source, adding, however, that none of these conditions applied to April 16 16 in the contract award.  “April 16 16 was neither the sole manufacturer nor the sole distributor,” he told the court upon enquiry by the prosecuting counsel. Responding to a further enquiry on the possibility of April 16 16 having an exclusive dealership right on the vehicles supplied, he said, “No, they don’t have such rights.”  


While the witness's role as head of CBN’s Procurement Office was to provide leadership and oversee the procurement of goods and services, he told the court that he took no steps towards ascertaining if April 16 16 was the only available vehicle vendor.


The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC is prosecuting Emefiele before Justice Mua’zu on 

amended 20-count charges bordering on conspiracy, criminal breach of trust, conferment of corrupt advantages, forgery, and obtaining by false pretences to the tune of $6,230,000 (Six Million, Two Hundred and Thirty Thousand Dollars).


The case was adjourned to November 13, 2024, for  continuation of trial.

  SSANU, NASU threaten strike over withheld salaries The Joint Action Committee of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities and the Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions have threatened to disrupt industrial peace in universities should the government fail to release the withheld salaries of members. The salaries were seized by the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari during their strike in 2022. The unions, in a joint letter signed on Friday by the President of SSANU, Muhammed Ibrahim and General Secretary of NASU, Peters Adeyemi, questioned the rationale with which the government released four months withheld salaries to members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities but failed to release the withheld salaries of non-academic staff. The unions noted that they would no longer be able to assure the government of industrial peace in universities should the amounts owed by the government are not released. Earlier, the unions
