Address Insecurity Atiku Urges Buhari as He Begins National Town Hall Meetings
The state of our dear country needs urgent collective efforts in order to stop the growing negative vices that affect human life, the welfare of Nigerians and governance.
Sadly, the present government is overwhelmed with incompetence and cluelessness on how to perform its statutory roles effectively.
We cannot say that we have a government in place when it has not taken any decisive steps to vanquish the terrorists, bandits, and kidnappers marauding our nation; we cannot say that we have a government in place when the economy is in a shambles with no sense of direction or purpose; we also cannot say that we have a government in place when the education sector is in a chaotic state, with no meaningful investments made in any of its sectors in the last six years.

Shehu Sani, a well-known and respected activist, will be the keynote speaker. Sen. Dino Melaye, Dr. Baraka Sani and Dr. Ahmed Adamu are expected as discussants, while Segun Showunmi will be the spotlight speaker.
Themed “Making a Case for National Unity and Prosperity”, the meeting aims to engage both relevant stakeholders in nation building and the electorates, hear the community’s views on public issues as it affects the entire country and, consequently, seek ways of finding solutions to such issues.
We urge President Buhari to end showboating and address insecurity which is disrupting the economy of our dear country. He can put a stop to the killings of Nigerians and unite everyone within the little time left for him and the APC to leave the stage.

Port-Harcourt Refinery Fully Operational- Says NNPC
The attention of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC Ltd) has been drawn to reports in a section of the media alleging that the Old Port Harcourt Refinery which was re-streamed two months ago has been shut down.
We wish to clarify that such reports are totally false as the refinery is fully operational as verified a few days ago by former Group Managing Directors of NNPC.
Preparation for the day’s loading operation is currently ongoing.
Members of the public are advised to discountenance such reports as they are the figments of the imagination of those who want to create artificial scarcity and rip-off Nigerians.

Port Harcourt Refinery Halts Production Less Than a Month After Resumption
Less than a month after the porthacourt appeared to have resumed production, the facility has stopped working.
It was gathered that the lifting of petrol actually stopped last Friday, December 13, as the 18-arm loading bay of the new Port Harcourt refinery was empty.
While about 18 trucks littered the stretch of the busy road leading to the refinery itself, nine trucks were spotted inside the parking yard, while the loading bay was empty.
Journalists who visited the refinery on Thursday, December 19, 2024, observed that the lifting of Premium Motor Spirit (petrol) had stopped completely.
The depot, which is usually a beehive of activities where tankers scramble for space at the parking yard, was a shadow of itself with literally no vehicular or human activity relating to operations.
This was after $1.5bn was approved in March 2021 and spent on the rehabilitation of the facility.
The inauguration of the 60,000 barrel per day production capacity plant by the Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, Mele Kyari, on Tuesday, November 26, 2024, was met with celebration and fanfare.
During the re-opening of the facility, there was lifting of petrol to the excitement of the cheering crowd.
However, less than 10 trucks of petrol were lifted that day as against widespread claims that about 200 trucks carried petrol out of the bay.
