Everything Nigeria (Hypernigeria)

22/07/2024

The Dangote Refinery's request to suspend or stop importation of petroleum products, particularly AGO, and direct marketers to the refinery has raised concerns about energy security and market monopoly. Critics argue that this move could lead to a dependence on a single supplier, potentially harming the market.

Additionally, questions have been raised about the quality of the refinery's products, specifically the high sulfur content in their AGO, which exceeds the West African standard of 50 ppm. In contrast, imported products meet this standard.

Dangote has expressed frustration with the challenges faced by his refinery, citing warnings from friends and associates about investing in the Nigerian economy. He has offered to sell his stake in the refinery to the NNPC, allowing the state-owned company to run it and ensure high-quality products and job creation.

The Dangote Refinery, which began operations last year, has a capacity of 650,000 barrels per day and aims to reduce Nigeria's reliance on foreign fuel imports and conserve foreign exchange.

The Financial Times’ Analysis on Nigeria

https://ft.pressreader.com/article/281848648832942

In the nearly 15 months since Bola Tinubu became pres­id­ent, he has forced his 220mn fel­low Nigeri­ans to swal­low some bit­ter medi­cine. He removed a gen­er­ous fuel sub­sidy, one of the few bene­fits cit­izens receive from their inef­fi­cient and cor­rupt state. He allowed the coun­try’s cur­rency, the naira, to enter freefall, fuel­ling impor­ted infla­tion and trig­ger­ing the worst cost of liv­ing crisis in a gen­er­a­tion.

These meas­ures have pushed tens of mil­lions of already impov­er­ished people deeper into misery. But they were neces­sary to begin cor­rect­ing the coun­try’s long-term eco­nomic demise. The fuel sub­sidy was ruin­ously expens­ive, guzz­ling nearly a third of the fed­eral budget. It was also dis­tor­tion­ary, chan­nel­ling Nigeri­ans’ ener­gies into rent­seek­ing, smug­gling and graft. The exchange rate regime, which vastly over­val­ued the naira, wiped out exports of everything but oil. While genu­ine indus­tries were starved of hard cur­rency, cronies accessed cheap dol­lars to sell on the black mar­ket. Nigeria’s elite learnt a les­son that was toxic to the nation’s pro­spects: why pro­duce any­thing when you can make a killing through arbit­rage?

Mov­ing to more ortho­dox policies is vital to reset an eco­nomy that has not grown in per cap­ita terms for a dec­ade and where one of the most luc­rat­ive indus­tries has been kid­nap­ping. It is neces­sary, but insuf­fi­cient. “Tinubu­n­om­ics” is so dis­join­ted it barely deserves the name. Shock ther­apy will prob­ably fail if import­ant adjust­ments are not made.

First, the pres­id­ent must chart a course ahead and con­vince Nigeri­ans they are in it together. For that to be remotely cred­ible, the polit­ical class must make sac­ri­fices. Out must go lav­ish pay rises for civil ser­vants and flashy cars (not to men­tion jets) for gov­ern­ment offi­cials. Tinubu only has to look at Kenya, where viol­ent street demon­stra­tions have forced the gov­ern­ment to with­draw tax rises, to see what hap­pens when a sense of injustice festers.

Like­wise some sav­ings from the fuel sub­sidy should be redeployed to sup­port the most eco­nom­ic­ally vul­ner­able as a pri­or­ity. Hun­ger levels are soar­ing and mil­lions of chil­dren are fore­go­ing meals and school. Nigerian politi­cians love to be seen hand­ing out bags of rice. But what is needed is dir­ect cash pay­ments to people’s phones, the tech­no­logy for which exists, and in the longerterm a proper safety net.

As things stand, the state lacks either the capa­city or the prob­ity to admin­is­ter such a scheme. Tinubu needs to fix that urgently. With a few excep­tions, his cab­inet is full of light­weights who owe their jobs to polit­ical pat­ron­age, not to expert­ise. Tech­no­cratic tal­ent exists in abund­ance. It must be mar­shalled.

Cor­rup­tion needs to be tackled. It does not help that Tinubu’s own vast wealth is not easy to decipher, nor that his poverty min­is­ter was sus­pen­ded for alleged diver­sion of funds, something she denies. It does not help either that the state is implic­ated in the whole­sale theft of oil, depriving the nation’s cof­fers of bil­lions of dol­lars. Tinubu should use all his polit­ical guile to staunch the flow.

Some will argue that Nigeria’s state is so weak all Tinubu can do is remove its influ­ence and retreat. Nigeria col­lects tax worth about 10 per cent of gross domestic product, one of the low­est rates in the world. That is a sure sign of how little trust exists between the gov­ern­ment and the gov­erned. But if the eco­nomy is to be revived, the state needs to be an ena­bler. It must provide power, roads, secur­ity and justice, not to men­tion schools, hos­pit­als and sup­port for the poorest in soci­ety. Without a joined-up and artic­u­lated plan, Tinubu’s bit­ter medi­cine will not cure Nigeria’s ills. It will just leave a bad taste. *Copied.

The Organised Private Sector (OPS) has expressed concerns that its members may struggle to implement the newly announced N70,000 National Minimum Wage without adequate support from the Federal Government. Responding to President Bola Tinubu's approval of the new wage, Adewale-Smatt Oyerinde, Director General of the Nigeria Employers' Consultative Association (NECA) and Spokesperson for OPS, stated:

"While we applaud the President's decisive action in establishing a new National Minimum Wage, we also note with great importance his commitment to providing support to sub-nationals and the Organised Private Sector in implementing this new wage. This support is crucial for our members to effectively comply with the new wage structure."

19/07/2024

Minimum wage under OBJ: $64, Minimum wage under GEJ: $90
Minimum wage under PMB: $60
Minimum wage under OTP Tinubu: $43
The current state of the Naira is a reflection of its weakness, exacerbated by inflation, which has significantly eroded its purchasing power. The situation appears bleak, as Nigeria's reliance on imported goods and low export rates have created a scenario where the dollar dictates our economy to a large extent. This over dependence on imports, coupled with a low export rate, has put our economy in a vulnerable position.

Edo State Police Command Mourns the Loss of a Fallen Hero

The Edo State Police Command is saddened to announce the tragic death of Police Inspector Onuh Akoh, who was fatally shot during a shooting incident on Airport Road, Benin City, on July 18, 2024, at approximately 1:00 pm.

The incident occurred when Rt. Hon. Philip Shuaibu and Sen. Monday Okpebholo arrived at Benin Airport, accompanied by thousands of supporters. Suddenly, suspected political thugs emerged, firing guns and other dangerous weapons, resulting in Inspector Akoh's fatal injury.

Commissioner of Police CP Funsho Adegboye, on behalf of the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, and the Nigeria Police Force, extends heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of the fallen hero. He appeals for calm and assures the public that the Police and other security agencies are in control of the situation.

CP Adegboye warns criminal elements to desist from acts capable of disrupting the peace and vows to arrest, name, shame, and bring to justice those responsible for this heinous act. The Command remains committed to protecting the lives and property of law-abiding citizens.

Signed,

SP Chidi Nwabuzor (Anipr)

President Bola Tinubu has announced a significant decision, approving a new minimum wage of N70,000 for Nigerian workers. This move is accompanied by a commitment to review the national minimum wage law every three years, ensuring fair compensation for the country's workforce. Additionally, President Tinubu has pledged to support the private sector and sub-nationals in implementing the new wage structure. This announcement came during a meeting with leaders from the Trade Union Congress (TUC) and the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) in Abuja, marking the second gathering in just seven days. The labour leaders expressed their appreciation for the President's thoughtful approach, and he also vowed to utilize his discretionary powers to address the outstanding four-month salary arrears of university unions."
