President Buhari Cannot Clean Up Nigeria if He Cannot Clean Up the NNPC

President Buhari Cannot Clean Up Nigeria if He Cannot Clean Up the NNPC

A new report on Thursday said despite President Muhammadu Buhari’s attempt at ensuring transparency in the oil sector, the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, still withholds billions in oil revenues from the government account.
The report by the Natural Resource Governance Institute, titled “NNPC still holds blank check” said that within the first six months of the Buhari administration, the NNPC withheld over $4.2 billion (about N824.7 billion) out of a total of $6.3 billion (N1.24 trillion) revenues realised from crude oil sales in the second half of 2015.
The withheld revenues represented about 66 per cent of the total revenue – $1.4 billion earnings from Nigeria’s regular crude oil exports for the period; $3.4 billion from domestic crude oil sales, and $1.5 billion from oil sold from the corporation’s upstream subsidiary, the Nigerian Petroleum Development Company, NPDC oil fields.
The report said only $2.1 billion (about N413.7 billion) was transferred to the Federation Account.

Boko Haram Exposed the Corrupt and Incompetent Leadership of Nigerian Army

The misappropriations of the revenue allocations for the Ministry of Defence in the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan left the Nigerian military handicapped to prosecute the war against Boko Haram terrorists on rampage in the north east of Nigeria.
An ill-equipped army is already half defeated.

Thank You for Your Great Support!

I thank Almighty God JEHOVAH for all the blessings, favours, provisions and miracles of the abundance of His infinite grace in my life, family and my company, International Digital Post Network Limited in 2016.

Thank you to all the fantastic companies and great people who patronized and supported us in 2016. You contributed to our success in spite of the challenges of economic recession.

I produced my first film, "Lagos in Motion: Sights and Sounds of Africa's Largest Megacity" and also published the photo album of the documentary film released  for worldwide distribution by Amazon. Thanks to all the members of the cast and crew.
I launched our Screen Naija YouTube channel where you can see all the clips of the locations .

Unknown to the public, during the production of the "Lagos in Motion" documentary film, l was challenged by the kidnap of a Nigerian secondary school girl who was lured from Benin in Edo State and taken across the Sahara desert to the Republic of Niger and finally to Libya where she was in the custody of sex traffickers waiting to be sold as a sex slave or taken across the Miditterean Sea to Europe. I was able to secure her release after 90 days. And she returned by air to Nigeria and rejoined her family in Benin city. Thanks to all those at the UN, UNICEF and IOM who gave me their morale boosting support.

Then on August 31, I was among those who were invited to meet with Mark Zuckerberg, Cofounder and CEO of Facebook at the Afrinolly Space during his first trip to sub Saharan Africa; with special thanks to Mr. Chike Maduegbuna and Mrs. Jane Maduegbuna of Afrinolly.
