Canada to team up with Nigeria on gas infrastructure development- Aduda

Published

on

The Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Petroleum Resources, Mr Gabriel Aduda, says Canada has pledged to collaborate with Nigeria on developing a robust gas infrastructure network.

Aduda said that the Premier of Alberta, Canada, Daniella Smith, gave the assurance at a meeting on Monday with the Federal Government delegation to the 24th World Petroleum Congress (WPC) in Calgary, Canada.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the five-day conference has the theme:” Energy Transition: The Path to Net Zero”.

“One of the things that we discussed earlier today (Monday) with the Premier of Alberta was fruitful around collaboration to develop our gas assets in Nigeria, especially trunks and distribution pipelines which is something that we need now.

“It is one thing for you to produce the gas and it’s a completely different thing for you to transport the gas to where it is needed and required, and that is something that l think the government of President Bola Tinubu is committed to doing, which is how do we get this gas out where it is needed.

“That is the same message we have brought, and between now and Friday, we will be meeting with a few investors especially those that build the pipelines across Alberta, Canada, and America.

“So, we have had discussions and meetings with them to see how they can come back home and help us build our lines,’’ he said.
Aduda said that for Nigeria to be able to deliver on its energy transition plans, it must have strong footings on a three-tripod.

According to him, these include financing, technology transfer, and infrastructure to meet its net-zero target by 2060.

“We do not need to pressure ourselves into attaining net zero but rather come up with a framework that works for Nigeria which will allow our resources that we have now to take us to where we want to be,” he said.

He said that Nigeria has identified gas as its transition fuel and put the decade of gas ahead as a framework to be able to develop and also ensure the domestic injection of gas in every home, factory, and industry.

“The policy is also to ensure distribution across out of Nigeria to feed others because this is a resource we have in abundance, and for us to be able to do that, there is a need for huge financial outlay.

‘‘One of the messages we have come with to WPC which we hope we will achieve at the end of the day is to be able to gather investors that will see the business opportunities in Nigeria.

“Investors that will also see that Nigeria is ready to do business because the Petroleum Industry Act (PIA) has opened the doors that we need in addition to the sector being liberalized so that more players can now come across the world,’’ he said. On divestment of assets, Aduda said that it was not a bad thing as it is an opportunity from one end to the other.

According to him, the divested assets are a goldmine because it is not as if the assets are left idle but rather, investors are rushing them for takes.

‘‘The truth of the matter is that, once the business place is right, there will always be funding for whatever project you bring in the area of oil and gas.

“So, it’s nothing to be worried about, and at the end of the day, all you can see is that this has been taken off by those who think and who can run the process.

“So, all we need are capable operators. The moment you are capable, there are no assets that are a waste,’’ he added.

NAN also reports that the 24th WPC has recorded no fewer than 15,000 visitors from over 100 countries, 5,000 delegates, and over 200 national and international exhibitors. (NAN)

“Nigeria Only Belongs To Hausa and Yoruba” – Fayose Declared; Netizens React

Published

on

BREAKING: Tinubu appoints 9 new INEC resident commissioners

Isaac Fayose, younger brother of former Ekiti State Governor Ayo Fayose, has sparked nationwide controversy after declaring that Nigeria belongs only to the Hausa and Yoruba ethnic groups.

In a viral video making the rounds on social media, Fayose dismissed the long-standing belief that Nigeria’s unity rests on a tripod of Hausa, Igbo, and Yoruba.

He claimed that the Igbos have been marginalized and not counted among the country’s dominant groups.

He stated: “They said Nigeria belongs to Hausa, Igbo, and Yoruba, but that’s a lie… take out that Igbo, stop including them because it’s a lie.”

The remarks have triggered widespread backlash, with many Nigerians accusing him of promoting ethnic hatred and fueling disunity.

Others, however, agreed with his statement, describing it as “an honest truth” about Nigeria’s politics.

@olaoluwasunnyman reacted: “Honest truth.”

@chefnoka said: “History will never forget you, brother. I’m not Igbo, but I love the way you speak and stand for the truth. We need it to move this nation forward.”

@newbilliy commented: “I’m Yoruba but an Igbo President will make Nigeria great. I love Igbo people and their business mindset.”

@beautyjunctiongh wrote: “God bless you, my brother, for saying the truth.”

@benedictoguama asked: “Where is Jonathan from?”

@daveiyke_donnegro stated: “@isaacfayoseoriginal_ God bless you Sir for speaking the truth. I wish other Nigerians can shun tribalism and unite for the progress of Nigeria. Tribalism us a tool against Nigerians and the unity of Nigeria. Politicians have weaponized tribalism which enables them thrive in continued political and socioeconomic incompetence.”

@realtundr4 added: “I agree with what you said, sir, but look at it, does igbo really have d right candidate? Obi is just chameleon to me he’s not real, neither do they have the leadership experience as our current president @officialasiwajubat, the one and only politician that have ever created more millionaires and successful individual in the whole nation. Make we leave hatred, JAGABAN na baba.”

@richeart4u said: “Those that have been president, were they given free or charge? Was there a law that stopped Igbo man from being a president? How do people become a president? Or do you mean Igbo have never been allowed to contest for presidency? Same things goes to women too, why are women not hugely represented in all positions even presidency? No one is stopping anyone from becoming anything, you just have to change your strategy and alignment. You can’t be doing same thing over the years and not get the desired result and still want to stick to that failed pattern to achieve a new result. Igbo people and their candidate must be encompassing. Hausa has been aligning more to Igbo people to get whatever position they wanted and why are they not returning the favour hugely? Align to anyone that can boost your change of winning and be well accommodating and understanding the power of choices and politicking. I might be wrong 0000. Na ma small knowledge I take respond oooo.”
