The emergence of Mr.
Femi Otedola as a leading light and advocate of the concerted fight
against instituitionalised corruption and corruptive influences.
From 2005 to 2011,
top government officials in charge of pension funds in the country stole
N273.9 billion, the report of the recent investigation by the Senate
panel into the alleged mismanagement of the funds has revealed.
The

In
the Federal High Court in Abuja, the Federal Inland Revenue Service
(FIRS) has filed charges of evading five years tax payment of N4.86
billion naira and forgery of Tax Clearance Certificate (TCC) against Air
Nigeria.
Over 40 ex-militant 'generals' from the
Niger-Delta region, rose from an emergency meeting in Abuja with a call
to the Federal Government to halt bombing of churches immediately and
also asked President Goodluck Jonathan to identify sponsors of the sect
and bring them to book, as the violence had become unacceptable.
The Federal Government, on Thursday, wielded the big stick by
suspending the operations of Air Nigeria, over allegations that the
airline is in financial distress.
The
Nigerian petroleum sector has never had such a verifiable result
oriented administration as that witnessed under the present minister –
Mrs. Diezani Allision Madueke. This is despite the historical challenges
of corruption, bureaucracy, ineptness, etc that has plagued the
industry since after the oil boom period of the mid 70's to which no
previous petroleum minister has achieved the monumental strides for the
good of the industry and the Nigerian economy as Mrs. Diezani Allison
Madueke has so far achieved positively impacting on immediate, short,
mid, and long term outcomes.
She
has continued to operate with a resolve akin to a missionary zeal
towards ensuring that the days of long queues to buy Petrol at
filling-stations are gone forever as she succeeds bloodying the nose of
fuel ‘black-marketers’ anytime they rear their ugly heads. All whom are
honest to themselves will admit that the long queues that characterised
our filling stations years ago has become history! 
The first 100days has seen the re-streaming of Kaduna Refinery and sustained operation of Warri Refinery.
Worthy
of note, also, is that in addition to her resolve to see that Nigeria’s
moribund refineries are up and working she has outlined plans to build
three new brand new refineries in Bayelsa, Kogi and Lagos States
Concerned
by the recent shortfall and challenges in supply of gas to thermal
power stations in the country which has subsequently led to significant
drop in power generation and supply, under Mrs. Allison-Madueke, the
Federal Government has initiated some far reaching measures to address
the existing challenges including the declaration of a 12-month
emergency plan on supply of gas to power plants across the country as
well as the restructuring of the Gas Aggregation Company of Nigeria
Limited (GACN) to meet up with increasing demand for gas to power plant.
The consequence is that this helps to curb the significant misalignment
between power projects and gas supply sources and facilitate the
effective rolling out of the National Integrated Power Projects (NIPP)
The integrity of key product pipeline infrastructure (Kaduna-Kano,
Security
contracts awarded for the protection of a major crude oil supply
pipeline (Escravos-Warri) to improve capacity utilization of Warri
Refinery which has now achieved 70%.
Engagement
ongoing with original EPC contractors to ensure effective
implementation of Turn-Around-Maintenance / Rehabilitation works. An
NNPC team is currently in Japan to conclude the engagement of the
original Engineering Procurement Construction, EPC contractor for Port
Harcourt Refinery which will be the first to be so rehabilitated.
The
detailed feasibility studies for the three Greenfield Refineries to be
sited in Lagos, Kogi and Bayelsa have been concluded with preliminary
report reviewed. The final report which has been submitted and can only
be effectively implemented by the driver of change, Mrs. Diezani
Allison-Madueke before it is hijacked and kept in the doldrums again!
Effort
at increasing the nation’s stock of crude is constantly &
effectively receiving major attention under Mrs. Allison-Madueke with
the escalation of oil exploration activities in the Inland Sedimentary
Basins especially in the Chad Basin. 
Under
Diezani, the drive to increase the nation’s crude and gas reserve is
not limited to the In-land Basin. As part of the effort at growing the
capacity of the Nigerian Petroleum Development Company, NPDC, eight
producing blocks have been assigned to the company. With special support
by the President for NPDC’s operatorship of the blocks, the impact has
been tremendous on the NPDC’s growth aspiration with current production
now averaging 80,000 barrels per day. 
Gas
supply for power generation and industrial use has been sustained with
supply outstripping demand both in the Western and Eastern axes.
Available records indicate that the volume of gas available for power
generation is unprecedented in the history of oil and gas in Nigeria.
Under
the Diezani administration the Brass LNG project is being fast-tracked.
Commercial bid evaluation for the Engineering Procurement and
Construction contract is currently ongoing. The gas supply challenges
have also been resolved.
Signed into e
Under
Mrs. Diezani Allison Madueke’s watch, the process of passing the PIB
into law (considered very long overdue) has witnessed sustained
interaction with the National Assembly to ensure passage into law an oil
reform legislation that will stand the test of time to the benefit of
Nigeria, and give fair Return on Investment. At this rate, and under her
able leadership, it can be expected that the bill will come to reality.
The
Minister of Petroleum Resources, Mrs. Diezani Alison-Madueke, over the
weekend declared that Nigeria's oil industry has the potential to
alleviate global supply issues if fully developed to assume its natural
role as a major strategic lever in the global economic and security
space.
