 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

 Yoruba Nation: Sunday Igboho submits petition to UK PM, Keir Starmer


Yoruba Nation agitator Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho has submitted a petition to the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Keir Starmer, to consider the creation of a Yoruba nation.

Igboho was said to have submitted the petition on behalf of Prof. Adebanji Akintoye, the leader of the Yoruba Nation movement.

The movement is seeking the immediate intervention of the UK Prime Minister and his government in their agitation to set up a country that will be predominantly owned by indigenous Yoruba people.

This was disclosed by Igboho’s spokesman, Koiki, via his X page on Monday.

He wrote: “At exactly 14:00 hrs Dr. Chief Sunday Igboho delivered a petition to the UK Prime Minister on behalf of Prof. Adebanji Akintoye, leader of the YORUBA NATION movement, and Olayomi Koiki, his spokesman @10DowningStreet.”

Igboho has been at the forefront of the actualization of a Yoruba nation.

Recall that Akintoye had earlier accused the Nigerian government of trying to cajole Igboho into withdrawing from the agitations.

The octogenarian said during the agitator’s travails in Benin Republic, a former Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Tukur Buratai (retd.), had used his influence as an envoy to sneak a paper to Igboho in prison, promising him billions of naira if only he would renounce his agitations for a Yoruba nation.

He, however, said Igboho refused to sign the paper, which was later taken away by Buratai.

He said: “Former Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Tukur Buratai, came to him in the prison, promising him billions of naira if he would just sign a paper that Buratai brought.

“That he (Igboho) should say he had renounced the Yoruba Nation struggle, that he didn’t want the Yoruba Nation struggle anymore, that he had opted out of it.”

Igboho was arrested, along with his wife on July 20, 2021, in Cotonou, while trying to travel to Germany at Cardinal Bernardin International Airport.

After some legal battles, he was granted bail instead of being repatriated to Nigeria.

The bail condition effectively kept him in Cotonou, Benin.

In a video released on Facebook, Igboho thanked all those who had supported him during his travail and detention in Benin.

He specifically mentioned Yoruba monarchs, activists such as Professor Banji Akintoye and Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, for their support while he stayed in Cotonou.
