 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. The PIA provisions guide its function.  At the moment, “No such market fail...

 Obi Pays NECO Exam Fees for innates at Anambra Correctional Facilities.148 inmates benefited from the intervention: 50 from Awka, 36 from Onitsha, 25 from Nnewi, and 37 from Aguata.


Anambra State Coordinator of the National Examinations Council (NECO), Mrs. Emilia Njoku, expressed surprise at the unannounced visit of Mr. Peter Obi to the NECO State Office in Awka on Friday.


Njoku said staff were initially curious when a convoy of vehicles arrived, only to discover that Obi, uninvited and without prior notice, had come to present a cheque covering NECO examination fees for 148 inmates in correctional centres across Anambra State.


Addressing staff, Obi explained that representatives of inmates from the Awka, Onitsha, Nnewi, and Aguata (Ekwulobia) correctional centres had earlier visited him in Onitsha to share their plight.


Although NECO had approved their participation in the examinations, a letter of undertaking from a guarantor was required to enable payment of the fees.


Obi disclosed that he immediately provided the letter guaranteeing payment.


He added that after he shared the intervention on social media, the Nigerian Friendship Association, USA, through their non-profit foundation, the Friendship Association Education Assistance, Inc., reached out to him and expressed their desire to assist.


He said he was deeply inspired by their generosity, noting that collective goodwill can restore dignity and open doors to opportunity—not only for this year but also for future candidates.


On the purpose of the visit, Obi said: “It was to formally present the cheque.” The total payment, including fees and logistics, amounted to ₦4,741,400.


Mrs. Njoku noted that previous appeals to several individuals and organizations had been unsuccessful, and she was surprised that Obi voluntarily wrote the undertaking and settled the full amount.


Prof Chinyere Okunna, who accompanied Obi, described the act as noble and deserving of the highest commendation.


A total of 148 inmates benefited from the intervention: 50 from Awka, 36 from Onitsha, 25 from Nnewi, and 37 from Aguata.


Obi said he was deeply moved by the appeal and stressed that education remains a critical tool for rehabilitation and reintegration.
