Gas flaring: Senate to go tough on firms

Worried by the excessive waste of gas through flaring, the Senate Committee on Gas has threatened to go tough on errant oil firms by ensuring the enforcement of necessary legislation against it from next year.



The Chairman of the committee, Senator BasseyAkpan, who stated this in an interview with our correspondent, said the decision was part of the strategies being employed by the upper legislative chamber to ensure alternative sources of revenue for the country.
Akpan noted that the country could no longer afford to watch and see one of its major revenue generating natural resources being wasted simply because there was weak enforcement of necessary legislation that could guard against it.
He noted that the major concern of his committee was to ensure that the Act of the National Assembly enacted in 2008, which defined the domestic gas supply obligation of every international oil company operating in Nigeria, was adhered to.
Akpan said, “The law also stipulates the penalty on issue of gas flaring; we will soon engage the stakeholders, starting with the regulators like the Ministry of Petroleum Resources, the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, Department of Petroleum Resources and the gas aggregators.”

Breakings: The Kind of Injustice, Malpractice and Corruption going on in University of Agriculture Makurdi

Image
Dear dpg , I seriously think that you people should turn your radar to the UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURE, MAKURDI. The kind of injustice, malpractice and corruption going on in that school is unprecedented.  The latest one is the battle for the VC's office, Since the present VC Prof. Emmanuel Kucha will be leaving by November. He has left the school damaged without recognition. I wish you can visit or talk to any of your sources in makurdi.  Anyway, more than 11 people contested for the position, as at the day before yesterday, they were reduced to 9, who went in for the final rounds of vetting and interview yesterday. The outcome was released and the favorite candidate came first. That was the news yesterday, but this morning (today) the result have changed, due to external politically corrupt individuals who call themselves stakeholders in the state, who had never one day contributed to the success of the students or staff of that school.  To come and force a ...

Image
Ayodele Fayose   The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has continued to expose the massive diversion of state funds into private use by the Ekiti State governor, Ayodele Fayose, a chieftain of the People's Democratic Party and staunch critic of the President Muhammadu Buhari led administration.   A report by Punch Newspapers reveals the arrest of a close ally of Fayose named Abiodun Agbele by the EFCC has been very instrumental in the tracing of looted funds by the anti-graft body. Agbele, who is currently in EFCC custody, was said to have received N1.219bn from a former Minister of State for Defence, Musiliu Obanikoro, on behalf of Fayose during the build-up to the Ekiti governorship election in June 2014. However, EFCC detectives alleged that Fayose used a large portion of the N1.219bn along with some money from the Ekiti State coffers to buy houses in Lagos and Abuja which have since been seized by the anti-graft agency. An investigator told a Punch corre...

Five Annoying Things Men Do During S*x

Image
File photo used only for illustrative purpose   Agreed, men do all they can to please their women in bed; but sometimes, they still manage to annoy women during that sacred moment.   The following are some of the things that can annoy your woman during s*x:   1 • You leave your socks on   Maybe you just like keeping your feet warm — or perhaps you think leaving your knee-high socks on is as erotic as her wearing heels to bed. Well, this is wrong, because it’s actually a major mood-killer for women. For one, it is not visually attractive, says a licensed marriage and family therapist, Monica Lieser.   Another not-so-innocent implication: Sporting socks during s*x may suggest you’re so agenda-driven — get in, get off! — that you’re unwilling to even fully undress. If you like the idea of staying partially clothed, leave your pants around your ankles instead of stripping down to your socks, Lieser suggests.   2 • You repeatedly touc...
