His hands are alredy full with susidy removal and its aftermayth, merging of official and black market forex rates and the implementation of Orosanye Report.
The lifting of sanctions against Niger Republic by ECOWAS is a welcome and a wise decision. Sanctions were counter productive to the citizens of both Nigeria and Niger. I hope their electricity will also be restored.
The State police will be used by the Governors to persecute the opposition,to harass ‘non indigenes’,to rig elections and to counter the federal police in case of conflict of interest between the federal government and the state. Most of the state ruling party thugs will be recruited into the state police.
Governor Umaru Bago of Niger State has barred civil servants in the state from wearing native attire, kaftans and Babanriga to offices, from Monday to Thursday.
He added that any officer who fails to comply with the directive will be dismissed from the service.
Mr Bago gave the order during the presentation of land development and preparation equipment at the Brains and Hammers Rice City in Wushishi Local Government Area of the state on Saturday.
According to him, all English attire is permissible going forward.
“From Monday, we will issue an order preventing civil servants from wearing kaftan and Babanriga to work between Monday and Thursday. No Babanriga, No Kaftan, we are here to work.
“Anybody who wants to wear Babanriga should resign. We are also going to engage in serious farming activities going forward,” Mr Bago said.
I heartily congratulate my bestie @AlikoDangote as the 8th Wonder of the World – the $20 Billion (Twenty Billion Dollars) @DangoteGroup Refinery – officially commences production. The Dangote Petrochemical Complex, which consists of the world’s largest single-train 650,000 barrels per day Petroleum Refinery, a 1 million metric tonnes of Polypropylene per-annum facility, and two of the world’s largest Fertilizer Trains – with a capacity of producing 3 Million Tonnes of Urea – is much more than just an industrial milestone; it’s a testament to the visionary leadership and relentless pursuit of excellence of one of Africa’s finest and most dogged patriots.
I had a front-row seat as this vision was conceptualized and took shape. And I am familiar with the sleepless nights you’ve had to work through over the last decade to bring this dream to fruition.
This refinery is a beacon of hope for millions of Nigerians and Africans. It is also at the vanguard of championing environmental sustainability. With its Carbon capture technologies and storage processes it will capture up to 90%+ of the CO2 emitted and also play a significant role in reducing Well-to-tank carbon emissions from crude oil maritime transportation, thereby playing its own role in helping Nigeria meet its target for net-zero emissions by 2060.
The Refinery recircles 100% of its water. The heat coming out of the process is fully captured to produce 50MW of Power. Dangote is also producing Euro 5 to replace the bad Euro 5 that has been dumped in Africa for a long time. Shipping 65,000 barrels per day of crude out of Nigeria and 650kbpd in refined products to Nigeria and nearby countries which is 480 ships of 1m barrels per day will save 1.5m to 2.5m tons of CO2 emissions. This will help the environment.
By meeting our requirements for all refined petroleum products, it will champion energy security and independence for our nation and act as a catalyst for a new era of prosperity for the subcontinent. It promises economic transformation for Nigerians today and for generations to come.
Congratulations, @AlikoDangote . Africa is proud of you! …F.Ote💲
