Tinubu Hails GEIL for Pioneering New Crude Export Terminal

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has commended Green Energy International Limited (GEIL) for setting a new benchmark in Nigeria’s oil and gas sector with the successful commissioning of its crude oil export terminal in Otakikpo, Rivers State. The terminal, the first built by a Nigerian company and the only one constructed in the country in over five decades, marks a major milestone in Nigeria’s quest to boost crude oil production and enhance local participation in the energy industry. According to the President, the new export facility will provide an efficient evacuation route for marginal and stranded oil fields across the Niger Delta region. This, he said, will unlock billions of barrels of reserves, drive investment, and create significant economic value — key priorities of his administration. Speaking through the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources (Oil), Senator Heineken Lokpobiri, President Tinubu […]

FG rejects US report on lack of transparency in procurement

The Federal Government has dismissed a report by the United States Department of State alleging that Nigeria lacks transparency in its public procurement process. The 2025 Fiscal Transparency Report had listed Nigeria among 32 African countries said to have made little or no progress in the fiscal policy space. While acknowledging that Nigeria had improved in publishing budget documents and debt obligations, the report faulted the country for failing to disclose information on public procurement contracts. It also criticised the Office of the Auditor-General of the Federation for not publishing comprehensive audit reports, citing weak institutional independence as a major setback. The report recommended that Nigeria should strengthen the independence of its supreme audit institution, make procurement information easily accessible, and publish timely audit reports of executed budgets. Out of 139 countries and the Palestinian Authority assessed, the report found […]

PDP Chieftain Rejects Zoning, Calls for Merit in 2027

Former National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Gbenga Olawepo-Hashim, has opposed the party’s zoning plan for the 2027 presidential ticket, arguing that competence should take priority over regional rotation. Speaking on Arise Television’s The Morning Show on Thursday, Olawepo-Hashim said zoning encourages division instead of unity, stressing that leadership ability is not tied to any part of the country. “Let’s focus on what unites us, not what divides us. Nigeria does not need zoning to produce a competent president. A capable leader can come from anywhere,” he stated. He cited historical examples, noting that former President Olusegun Obasanjo won the PDP ticket in 1999 through an open contest, unlike former President Goodluck Jonathan, who benefited from zoning but later lost re-election. According to Olawepo-Hashim, insisting on zoning could weaken the PDP against the ruling All Progressives Congress […]
