The Wazobia Conflict Resolution and Peace Advocacy Initiative (WACORPAI), a non-governmental organization committed to recognizing those who serve the nation with integrity and dedication, has honored former Super Eagles captain, Ambassador Ahmed Musa, OON, for his exceptional contributions to humanity and society.

The ceremony took place in Kano, where the football star was celebrated for his tireless efforts to uplift the lives of Nigerians.

Musa, a beloved sports figure, was recognized for his numerous charitable activities and the positive impact he has had on communities across the country. In acknowledgment of his exemplary service, WACORPAI bestowed upon him three prestigious awards: Eminent Peace Ambassador, Eminent Man of Integrity, and Progressive Youth Pioneer.

The awards highlight Musa’s consistent efforts to give back to society and his role as a source of inspiration to the younger generation. His dedication to helping others, often carried out quietly and without fanfare, has earned him widespread respect both within and beyond the sports community.

WACORPAI also honored Musa’s late mother, Mrs. Sarah Moses, with a posthumous award for her role in shaping his character and values. She was awarded the title of Eminent Woman of Integrity (EWI), recognizing her influence on her son’s commitment to integrity and philanthropy.

Speaking at the event, WACORPAI’s National President and Convener, Rt. Comrade Amb. Dr. Garba Sulieman D. Marafa, praised Musa for his unwavering dedication to humanity. “Ambassador Ahmed Musa has not only excelled on the football field but has also shown tremendous compassion and generosity off the field. His actions have brought smiles to the faces of countless Nigerians, and it is fitting that we recognize him for his integrity, peace advocacy, and efforts to inspire the youth,” he said.

The event marked another milestone in Musa’s celebrated career, reflecting the broader impact he has made beyond sports. His recognition as an Eminent Peace Ambassador and a man of integrity underscores the respect he commands as a role model and humanitarian.

Published

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

Published

on

 

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.
