Hajiya Basira Dantata, Governments, Genuine Capitalists and the Poor

Published

If the maxim, ‘all hands must be on deck,’ is meant to encourage division of labour or, to unite people thereby stimulating them to work together and to finally be used in order to challenge the patriots to partake in the national development, unfortunately, in this modern time, many factors apart from the unfortunate position of the government functionaries, those which turn against the citizens, ironically, has really made people skeptics even in using the maxim itself to motivate the citizenry. Putting it is now nothing but a hoax and lip service.

There may have been ponzi business moguls who rob Peter to pay Paul and there were real people enriching share holding businesses like that of Dantata Success and Profitable Company, DSPC.

Nigeria needs people like Hajiya Basira Ibrahim Dantata, she has been among those rich people with the masses in their hearts. She lives a happy life in return as a rewards from God right before the final abode waiting for her in the Heaven. Yes, that good heart many believe was the major reason behind her life happiness and prosperity.

Can not we recall that recently a very old rich man lamented how he could not find pleasure in living though with the abundance of his money and properties here and abroad? It is really a mind boggling revelation that the very riches which make people to go mad in search of, are no more life companions enough to make him to live a happy life.

People are of the view that the man does not spend on philanthropy to make poor happy so that happiness could visit him in return.

He has been notoriously a person who used to shutdown businesses and factories that he owns and/or as soon as he purchases, which is a sign of indifference and likely to show off his wealth strength. All of his lamentations has been crocodile tears.

Dr Hajiya Basira Ibrahim Dantata, a decendant of that renowned merchant par excellence, has been a black sheep among all the modern rich men people reasoned.

Her business reached out to the poor and even small scale businesses, inviting them to invest in the legit gold and other merchandise she invests in. Many Nigerians, more especially people in Kano benefited from the Return of Investment, ROI, she shared with the investors periodically unfailingly. She never failed the deal, so the investors sprang out of the international poverty level as according to the United Nations.

As she maintained the good work, the evil makers frowned as a result of jealousy and cruelty or any other personal reasons best known to them, so they collaborated with one a Commission called Security and Exchange Commission, SEC.

The Commission blaimed the good-hearted Basira Dantata for giving higher returns to investors and pretexted that she failed to register with them ideally. They suddenly closed her public beneficial company, Dantata Success and Profitable Company, DSPC and the treasury of the company ceasing the business and including the capital cum the profit of both Basira and the masses.

They leaned, retained and closed all the helpless people’s monies with aspersion.

As I am writing this, the Commission violated all the laws of the land to keep people’s money with them.

It occurred all the investors who united to fight for the return of their deposited funds, stood for their money return and observed all the processes and protocols, including legal actions against the Commission but all proved abortive as the people in the Commission abused the commission’s power, vitiated the reputation of the agency in ignoring and disrespecting the public judicial institutions by disdaining the courts’ of law orders several times.

With this, investors left with no alternative more than to conclude that their hard earned money was confiscated unjustifiably, and are made to believe government is no more serious in establishment of the functionaries like SEC for the betterment of the citizens. The investors lacked all the confidence in Government.

May Allah assist Hajiya Dr. Basira Ibrahim Dantata and free her lawful treasures from all the evil synergies so that she may accomplished her dreams to salvage the poor financially and economically.

That reminds me a Hausa adage, if we failed hoisting bride on the horseback, let’s just not put any load on the her head.

The governing council of the Nnamdi Azikiwe University has been dissolved by President Bola Tinubu.

The president dissolved the council and approved the removal of the institution’s vice-chancellor Bernard Odoh and the university registrar, Rosemary Nwokike.

A statement by Bayo Onanuga, the special adviser to the president on information and strategy said the action by Tinubu follows allegations of procedural violations in the appointment of the Vice-Chancellor.

He also said that the council led by Greg Ozumba Mbadiwe and including five other members—Hafiz Oladejo, Augustine Onyedebelu, Engr. Amioleran Osahon, and Rtd. Gen. Funsho Oyeneyin was accused of bypassing due process to appoint an unqualified candidate, prompting federal intervention.

Onanuga said, “The sacking of the governing council and officials followed reports that the council illegally appointed an unqualified vice-chancellor without following due process.

He added that following the controversial appointment, the Federal Government stepped in to address the rivalry between the university’s Senate and the governing council of the institution.

“The government expressed concern over the council’s apparent disregard for the university’s governing laws in its selection process”, Onanuga added.

Boost for Nigeria’s Oil Production, As NNPC’s Utapate Crude Grade Hits Global Oil Market

Managing Director, NNPC E & P Limited (NEPL), Mr. Nicholas Foucart speaks at the official unveiling of the Utapate crude oil blend during the Utapate Crude Roadshow held on the sidelines of the 2024 Argus European Crude Conference in London, United Kingdom, on Wednesday.

 

 

In a major boost for Nigeria’s crude oil production, revenue generation and
economic growth efforts, the NNPC Ltd has officially unveiled its latest crude oil
grade, the Utapate crude oil blend, before the international crude oil market.

It would be recalled that in July, 2024, NNPC Ltd and its partner, the Sterling Oil
Exploration & Energy Production Company (SEEPCO) Ltd introduced the Utapate
crude oil blend, following the lifting of first cargo of 950,000 barrels which headed
for Spain.

During a ceremony held at the Argus European Crude Conference taking place in
London, United Kingdom, on Wednesday, the Managing Director, NNPC E & P
Limited (NEPL), Mr. Nicholas Foucart described the introduction of the Utapate
crude oil blend into the market as a significant milestone for Nigeria’s crude oil
export to the global energy market.

“Since we started producing the Utapate Field in May 2024, we have rapidly
ramped up production to 40,000 barrels per day (bpd) with minimum downtime.
So far, we have exported five cargoes, largely to Spain and the East Coast of the
United States; while two more additional cargoes have been secured for November
and December 2024, representing a significant boost to Nigeria’s crude oil export
to the global market,” Foucart told a packed audience of European crude oil
marketers.
He added that since its introduction into the global market, the Utapate crude oil
blend has enjoyed a positive response from the international crude oil market, due
to its highly attractive qualities.
Foucart said the Oil Mining Lease (OML) 13, fully operated by NEPL and Natural
Oilfield Services Ltd (NOSL), a subsidiary of SEEPCO Ltd, boasts a huge reserves of
330million barrels of crude oil reserves, 45 million barrels of condensate and 3.5 tcf
of gas.
“We have a number of ongoing projects to increase our production from the
current 40,000bopd to 50,000bopd by January 2025 and 60,000bopd to
65,000bopd by June 2025. Essentially, we are targeting opportunities to increase
production to 80,000bopd by the end of 2025,” Foucart added.He said the Utapate crude oil terminal is sustainable, affordable and fully compliant
with the rigorous environmental regulations and sustainability principles especially
those aimed at reducing carbon emissions and other ecological effects.
Also speaking, the Managing Director of NNPC Trading Ltd (NTL), Mr. Lawal Sade
said the pricing structure of the Utapate crude oil blend is similar to that of
Amenam crude as it is a light sweet crude which is highly sought after by refiners
across the world due to its low sulphur content, efficient yield of high-value
products, API gravity and other similarities.
He said in bringing the new crude oil blend to the global market, NNPC Ltd wanted
to optimise value for both its producers and counterparties across the globe.
He added to ensure predictability and sustainability of supply, the NNPC Trading
intends to run a term contract on the Utapate crude oil blend cargoes, principally
targeting off-takers from the European and the US East Coast refineries.
Produced from the Utapate field in OML 13 in Akwa Ibom State in Nigeria, the
Utapate crude oil blend is similar to the Nembe crude oil grade. It has a low sulphur
content of 0.0655% and low carbon footprint due to flare gas elimination, fitting
perfectly into the required specification of major buyers in Europe.
The NNPC E&P Ltd and NOSL partnership is also committed to operating in a
manner that is safe, environmentally responsible, and beneficial to the local
communities.
The Utapate field development plan, executed between 2013-2019 and approved in
October, included converting wells and facilities from swamp/marine to land-
based operations.
The plan involved a multi-rig drilling campaign for 40 wells and the development
of significant infrastructure such as production facilities, storage tank, a subsea
pipeline and an offshore loading platform to facilitate crude oil evacuation and
loading.

The entry of the Utapate crude oil blend into the market is coming barely a year
after the NNPC Ltd announced the launch of Nembe crude oil, produced by the
NNPC/Aiteo operated Oil Mining Lease (OML) 29 Joint Venture (JV).

In a statement by Olufemi O Soneye Chief corporate communications officer NNPCL said the remarkable achievement signals the commitment of the NNPC Ltd to
increasing Nigeria’s crude oil production and growing its reserves through the
development of new assets.
