Several illegal crude oil refineries in Bagama, Asari Toru Local Government Area of River State were yesterday destroyed by the Nigerian Navy Ship Pathfinder, in Port Harcourt, the State capital.
 
The Nigerian Navy on Sunday said that it had begun mopping up of newly discovered illegal refineries which had combined capacity to produce thousand litres of petroleum products daily.

Mohammed spoke after taking newsmen on aerial and land surveillance of the newly discovered modular refineries in Rivers.
 
 
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that several illegal refineries hidden under tick shed of the Mangrove forest were sighted during the aerial surveillance with the environment polluted.

He said the mop up was aimed at putting an end to colossal damage to the environment by activities of oil thieves, who were puncturing pipelines to obtain crude oil illegally.

"The mop up ordered by the Chief of Naval Staff, Vice Adm Ibok-Ette Ibas, is part of a series of operations lined up to end incessant crude oil theft and pipeline vandalism.

"During our aerial surveillance recently, several new illegal refineries were sighted with their positions in latitude and longitude obtained prompting troops mobilisation.

The executive Governor of Plateau state, Simon Lalong who belongs to the All Progressives Congress, seems to be giving the people of his state the change they have been clamoring for. He made an interesting disclosure during a media chat with journalists in the state on Sunday night, 6th of August that he is yet to receive any salary as the governor of the state in his first 100 days.
 
This he has attributed to the financial crisis facing the state which has brought about an unprecedented delay in the making of appointments.

"Even those I have appointed so far have not been paid salaries.

"I myself have not received a single month salary as I speak with you; we want to settle civil servants salaries first,"
Lalong said.

On the recovery of public funds allegedly looted by his predecessor, Jonah Jang, Mr. Lalong said he has handed the matter to the anti-graft agency, EFCC, to investigate and bring defaulters to book.

"Since the two weeks grace I gave them elapsed without any response, I have written to EFCC to take over from where we stop, but if they delay in the assignment, I will remind them again," he said.

Mr. Lalong also said his administration has paid 5 out of the 7 months workers' salaries arrears he inherited.
"We will pay the 6th month tomorrow (Monday)," he added.

According to an announcement made by the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity Malam Garba Shehu, yesterday, 6th of September, the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC has recovered a huge sum of N55 billion ($227 million) from a review of toxic crude oil for refined products swap contracts. According to him, the great feat was achieved through extensive investigation into the various toxic crude oil for refined products swap contracts.

The report has shown that $420 million (N83 billion) has so far been reconciled in favour of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC). The report, which was recently submitted to President Muhammadu Buhari by NNPC Group Managing Director Emmanuel Kachikwu, revealed that out of the reconciled amount, $277 million has been recovered in lieu of products.

Malam Garba said in the first 100 days of Buhari’s government, the NNPC had begun the process of recovering over $7 billion (N1.38 trillion) in over-deducted tax benefits from Joint Venture Partners on major capital projects. He said the report detailed successes recorded so far by the new management of the NNPC.

He added that the GMD had commenced performance measurement and bench marking as well as value-for-money review of corporation and the JV Companies covering the period 2008 to 2013.

The presidential aide further stated that the report indicated that this process might lead to further cost recovery. He said the report also indicated that a reputable international accounting firm had been engaged by the NNPC.

The firm is to ascertain the exact amount due government on the Strategic Alliance Contracts “entered by the NPDC where up to $2.46 billion (484.6 billion) of government money is to be recovered”.

Shehu stated: “According to the report, the GMD of NNPC is committed to continued review of all existing contracts and addressing the ones that are not favorable to the Corporation.

It was noted that significant cost reductions are also expected to ensure the Corporation remains profitable in the prevailing low crude oil price regime.”
 
He added that progress was being made toward bringing back the national refineries to full production, noting that the management of the NNPC is working to ensure that this happens before the end of this year.

“If this is completed, the report said, it is expected to achieve an annual savings of about $1billion ( N197 billion) worth of foreign exchange from fuel import substitution and additional total saving of over $500 million (98.5 billion) annually will be made from the petrochemical products of Kaduna Refinery and Petrochemical Company."

The report also disclosed that efforts at re-positioning the NNPC have started yielding result on the nation’s economy. According to its content, gas supply to the power plants that had hitherto been handicapped by the supply of much-needed gas, has improved significantly from about 630 to 861 million standard cubic feet per day, which has resulted in a more steady power supply being witnessed in the country.

“Indeed, the report revealed that gas supply for power and peak generation have in recent times reached a historical high of 876 million standard cubic feet per day and 4,782 Mega Watts respectively”,
he said.
