Nigeria, Libya In Focus As OPEC Meets Today

Nigeria and Libya will expect to face growing pressure from their counterparts in the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries to end their exemption from production cuts and accept an output quota, when ministers meet on Thursday (today) for a closely watched summit. The production cuts deal, which began on January 1 and called on OPEC countries and 10 non-OPEC producers led by Russia to cut a combined 1.8 million barrels per day in supplies, was in May extended by nine months to March 2018. Nigeria and Libya, which were exempt from the cuts as they dealt with internal unrest that had targeted their oil infrastructure, have ramped up oil production in recent months as their security situations have improved. While the production outlooks for both countries remain hazy due to political, security and technical challenges, voices had been growing louder within OPEC that their output has recovered sufficiently to join in their market rebalancing efforts, sources told S&P Global P

FG Approves N1.5bn Advert Bill To Drive $1bn Tax Revenue

In pursuit of its vision to diversify the economy and discourage Nigeria’s reliance on oil as the mainstay of the economy, the Federal Executive Council (FEC) wednesday approved N1.5 billion to drive projected $1 billion tax revenue within nine months. The Minister of Finance, Mrs. Kemi Adeosun, who made this disclosure while briefing State House correspondents at the end of yesterday’s weekly FEC meeting, said the N1.5 billion is meant to run advertisement campaigns intended to promote Voluntary Assets and Income Declaration Scheme (VAIDS). VAIDS, according to the Ministry of Finance, is a platform designed to provide tax payers with the opportunity to regularise their tax payments in relation to their previous payments. Adeosun who said so far, the scheme had helped the federal government to generate $110 million revenue from only two companies, said from the responses received so far, there are expectations that the $1 billion tax revenue target might be exceeded. “On the am

LOKOJA— Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi State has kicked against the anti-grazing laws enacted by some of his colleagues in Benue and Taraba states, saying herdsmen were welcome to graze in any part of the state. Governor Bello stated this during an emergency state security stakeholders’ meeting attended by traditional rulers, Fulani settlers, political administration and security personnel over incessant clash between Fulani herdsmen and farmers. Bello added that the herdsmen can call their kinsmen displaced in other states to Kogi State. The traditional ruler of Elete, Chief Ahmed Aku, who was kidnapped last year by herdsmen, had advised the governor to follow the example of Benue and Ekiti governors. However, Bello responded passionately, saying, “I will not enact any law to stop Fulani herdsmen from coming to Kogi State. I will not be part of any law that will forbid them from carrying out their normal business in Kogi State. “Why don’t we develope a law that will make us l

The lawmakers took turn to condemn the act which has drawn public outcry following gory pictures and videos currently in circulation on social media.

He noted that even though protests are ongoing in European countries such as Paris and Brussels, "we who are the most affected as these are our children, our brothers and sisters, our youths, are indifferent."

Just in - Buhari Hints At Seeking Re-Election in 2019

By Sani Tukur President Muhammadu Buhari has given the clearest hint so far that he will seek re election in 2019. He gave the hint in far away Abidjan, Cote d'Ivoire where he is attending the 5th European Union-African Union (EU-AU) Summit.

The president arrived late to an interactive session with the Nigerian community in Cote d'Ivoire Tuesday night and said he had to wait for the two governors to accompany him to the meeting because of their electoral value.
