This post is exactly what it should be done. Because most of this union in Nigeria thinks they are above the laws. The president needs to stop this nonsense from them
DANGOTE REFINERY vs PENGASSAN: NATIONAL SECURITY:
1: The President has one title called “COMMANDER IN CHIEF OF THE ARMED FORCES”.
-(a): That title gives him a responsibility for the SAFETY AND SECURITY of the Nigeria and its citizens.
-(b): It is time for the President to convene an emergency meeting of the National Security Council.
2: Trade Disputes (Essential Services) Act gives him power to PROSCRIBE a TRADE UNION via The Federal Gazette
-(a): Mr. President should exercise his power, ASAP.
3: The President should direct the Hon Minister of @LabourMinNG via the Director of Trade to act in line with the Trade Unions Act powers @nkeiruka_reps before proscription.
4: @PENGASSAN001 and @officialNUPENG9 can’t disrupt essential services to Nigerians.
-(a): They should approach National Industrial Court to sue Dangote refinery.
5: PENGASSAN is not above the law.
6: President MUST ACT NOW.
Are Unions above the laws? He said his workers will not join the union. So why would the union not go to court and make clarification, but end up holding the country into ransom?
Dangote Refinery is not above the laws of Nigeria.
As we speak, the union will be shutting down NLNG trains and other critical production infrastructure any moment.
He really needed to go to the negotiating table and not just outrightly sacking those workers.
@ShehuSani is the same process the former president buhari advocates for. But you said he is a failure. And now you are hailing the same process. Are we missing something?
PROPAGANDA PROPAGANDA PROPAGANDA 🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨
Dear Patriotic Nigerians
Please do not allow @NuhuRibadu to continue gaslighting you
This repeated claim by @NuhuRibadu of inheriting whether an “extremely” or “surgically” bad government, particularly insecurity is a lie from the pit of hell
The man has gained notoriety for lying on behalf of T-Pain who is leading one of the most kleptocratic, authoritarian, opaque and propagandist regime in the history of Nigeria since independence
Except in 2018/2019, available data shows a steady decline in terrorist attacks in Nigeria from 2015 through 2023
What exactly is DPO talking about?
President @officialABAT declaration of a State of Emergency is simply a hostile political hijack of a state.
Two things can be WRONG. 1. Fubara's actions against Assembly Members. 2. Tinubus hostile take over of Rivers State. This is a Tinubu 2027 reelection playbook. WRONG!
Once again, Sen Natasha's ill mannered or unparliamentary attitude in the Senate doesn't in any way invalidate the sexual harassment allegations she laid against the Senate president. Both of them can be treated in isolation. Every attempt to use sundry events from the near or distant past to nullify her allegations only points to the fact that you're trying to pull the wool over everyone's eyes on the merits of the case.
One would d have thought it's in the interest of Sen Akpabio for this allegation to be properly investigated and rested if he's truly not guilty.
But the Senate president was not the one seeing over his Case. But a different institution (Judiciary). While this is in house. History needs to be put in place as it is
Once upon a time (not too far a time sha) in the Senate, there was a Senate president who was charged to court on account of false documentation and other charges. He didn’t resign from being the Senate President. In fact, he used to carry the entire Senate to the courtroom as a supporters club!
Now He has become a beacon of morality writing letters….
This is a stand alone post o!
Contrary to the claims of naysayers, we did not import food. The recent drop in food prices across Nigerian markets is a direct result of the deliberate efforts of our President and leader, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, to ensure food affordability for all Nigerians. I expressed this during my visit to Agbeyewa Farms, the 10,000 hectare cassava farm located in Ekiti State.
'They can go to hell', Nigerian National Security Adviser Nuhu Ribadu to Canada for rejecting Nigerian defence chief visa application. https://t.co/WD8Dys8M8m
Where is the BBC reporter, who said the mambila project is a scam. But now he is not anywhere to explain sunrise was the reason for the project not to start.
MORE DETAIL: Former Presidents Olusegun Obasanjo and Muhammadu Buhari have told the International Chamber of Commerce Court of Arbitration in Paris, France that the Federal Government at no time awarded a contract in respect of the $6 billion Mambila Power Project in Taraba State to Sunrise Power.
Obasanjo and Buhari, who both testified for Nigeria in the $2.3 billion arbitration case filed by the company and its founder, Chief Leno Adesanya, against Nigeria over an alleged breach of contract by the Federal Government, disputed the complainants’ claims.
Sunrise says the compensation demanded was meant to defray what it has spent on financial and legal consultants.
Obasanjo and Buhari urged the court to ignore the purported 2003 agreement which Adesanya and his firm based their arguments on, because the document was invalid.
They said Sunrise got the purported letter, signed by a former Minister of Power, Dr Olu Agunloye about 24 hours after the Federal Executive Council rejected award of contract to the firm.
Agunloye is currently standing trial in Abuja for forgery, disobedience of a presidential order and corruption in respect of the power plant project.
His prosecutor, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), accused him of awarding a contract entitled “Construction of 3,960MW Mambilla Hydroelectric Power Station on Build, Operate and Transfer Basis” to Sunrise Power and Transmission Company Limited without budgetary provision, approval or cash backing.
The ex-minister claimed yesterday that government was merely trying to use him as a scapegoat to “portray systemic corruption to the arbitration panel and undermine Sunrise’s claims.”
The testimonies of the ex-presidents at the Arbitration Court were corroborated by Justice Minister and Attorney-General of the Federation Lateef Fagbemi(SAN), his immediate predecessor, Mallam Abubakar Malami (SAN), a former Minister of Power, Babatunde Raji Fashola (SAN) and a former Minister of Water Resources, Engr. Suleiman Adamu.
The Nation gathered that another former Minister of Justice and Attorney-General of the Federation, Mr. Mike Aondoakaa (SAN) made a brief appearance in Paris but did not testify at the hearing.
It was not clear if Aondoakaa, who served during the administration of the late President Umaru Yar’Adua, was in Paris for the government or Sunrise.
Neither Sunrise nor Leno Adesanya had produced any witness at press time last night.
A source at the proceedings said Obasanjo and Buhari were at their best to “defend the interest of Nigeria.”
“It is very important for nation’s case that the Minister of Justice and Attorney-General of the Federation, Lateef Fagbemi, was successful in bringing two former presidents – Chief Olusegun Obasanjo and Muhammadu Buhari to testify at the hearing,” the source added.
“By this action, the government of Nigeria sent a signal of its strong commitment to defending the nation’s interest.
“Both leaders-Obasanjo and Buhari-are known for speaking forthrightly and unequivocally, and this they were said to have exhibited in Paris.
“To the delight of the international team of lawyers representing Nigeria, the two past presidents did extremely well, exposing the Sunrise/Leno’s claim for what it is: an attempt at using fraud, deceit and lies to scoop settlement from Nigeria in the first instance, for the alleged violation of a 2003 contract for which there is no valid approval.”
“It was by and large a great showing, consolidated by the equally outstanding testimonies of former ministers Engineer Sulaiman Adamu, formerly of Water Resources, and Babatunde Raji Fashola, Power.
“The Arbitration Court in France had a week-long hearing 18th-23rd January in Paris on the ongoing dispute between Sunrise Company/Leno Adesanya and the government of Nigeria on the existence or the absence of a contract for the construction of the Mambilla Power Project.
BUT JUDGES GOT 300% SALARY INCREMENT IN OCTOBER LAST YEAR.
“25/35 % per cent was added to the federal government worker’s, but since from the day of the implementation up to now, we did not see it on our salaries tackless of the Arrears. Minimum wage is also not added on our salaries up to now, and its arrears as well,” one of the Federal High Court staff, Isaac Audu, said in a conversation with Naija News.
