 APC PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN COUNCIL PRESS STATEMENT ATIKU MUST EXPLAIN THE LEGAL AND FISCAL BASIS OF HIS PETROL SUBSIDY PROPOSAL At his press conference in Abuja on Friday, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar reiterated his proposed  “production subsidy” for locally refined petrol, which he said would reduce pump prices. He went further to ask President Bola Tinubu to slash the cost of diesel and petrol at the pump. That proposal raises important legal, fiscal and practical questions that he must answer. Section 205(1) of the Petroleum Industry Act 2021 provides that unrestricted free-market conditions shall determine wholesale and retail prices of petroleum products. The Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority, in a statement on Saturday, explained that it neither fixes pump prices nor issues administrative price templates, except where the statutory conditions for intervention are met.

 Immigration Raises Alarm Over Growing Influx of Irregular Migrants into Nigeria


The Controller of the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), Edo State Command, Martins Moye, has raised concerns over the increasing number of irregular migrants entering Nigeria.


Speaking at the 2024 NIS awareness campaign against irregular migration in Benin City, Edo State, with the theme “Say No to Migrant Smuggling. If You Must Migrate, Migrate Safely, Orderly, and Regularly,” Moye stressed the urgency of addressing this issue as the numbers of irregular migrants continue to rise.


The three-day sensitization program took NIS officers to various locations, including the palace of the Enogie (Duke) of Eyaen, local markets, motor parks, and key streets. Moye emphasized the need for increased public awareness to tackle the growing problem of irregular migration.


Assistant Controller of Immigration, David Amanahu, who also facilitated the event, noted Edo State's historical significance in irregular migration. However, he highlighted that recent efforts by the Edo State Command have led to improvements, with the state no longer holding the top spot in the national ranking for irregular migration.


“The good news is that Edo State is no longer ranked number one in irregular migration. This is thanks to the hard work of the team in Edo who have worked relentlessly to improve the situation,” Amanahu said.


Delivering a message from the Controller-General of Immigration, Kemi Nandap, Amanahu emphasized the NIS’s renewed focus on border management and migration-related issues. 


Deputy Superintendent of Immigration, Woshak Danladi, warned of the grave risks posed by irregular migration, including the potential loss of freedom and even life. “Irregular migration can lead to organ harvesting, human rights abuses, and numerous other dangers,” he said, urging NIS officers to educate the public about these risks.
