NNPCL Denies N6.8b Debt to International Oil Traders

The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC Ltd.) has refuted claims that it owes international oil traders 6.8 billion dollars.

The NNPC’s statement follows a recent report alleging that the oil giant was in debt to foreign oil traders and had failed to remit revenue to the Federation Account since January.

Reacting to this, NNPC, in a statement through its spokesperson, OLUFEMI SONEYE, dismissed the allegation as inaccurate.

The company explained that while it operates on credit terms in the oil trading business, it is up-to-date with its payments and maintains open credit lines with multiple traders.

Governor Umo Eno Calls for Calm Ahead of Army Conference

As the Nigerian Army concludes plans to converge in Uyo, for the 2024 Chief of Army Staff Conference on Tuesday, 20th August, the State Governor, Pastor UMO ENO, has advised citizens not to panic at the unusual presence of military personnel around town during the period.

The Governor also announced that the State will take delivery of a new Airbus A220-300 aircraft, at the Victor Attah International Airport on the same day.

This will be the second of ten Airbus aircrafts ordered for the State-owned airline that will be received by Governor Eno since assumption of office.

Governor ENO made this known during Sunday service at the All Nations Christian Ministry International, Eket Local Government Area and affirmed that the aircraft’s delivery is fallout of his recent engagement with the Airbus team in Maastricht, Netherlands.

He described the selection of Akwa Ibom State for the 2024 Chief of Army Staff Conference as a gesture well appreciated.

He also reaffirmed the readiness of his administration, through the Bulk Purchase Agency, to take delivery of truck-loads of food items which would be distributed to needy citizens, noting that the intervention is also aimed at  tackling the wanton increase of prices by retailers.

Reassuring every one of his commitment to serve Akwa Ibom people and to remain connected with the electorates, Governor ENO decried the recent cloning of his regular phone line by hackers and promised to restore the line.

UNICEF Calls For Support for Girls Who Dropped out of School Due to Pregnancy

The United Nations Children’s Fund, UNICEF, has called on families, schools, and other stakeholders to support teenage girls who dropped out of school due to pregnancy issues to complete their studies.

UNICEF Education Specialist, AZUKA MENTIKI, made this appeal at a two-day stakeholders meeting in Ibadan, to address the Out-Of-School Children  and model for Retention, Transition, and Completion (RTC)”, in the Southwest zone of Nigeria.

It was attended by Commissioners, Chairmen of the States Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB), Civil Society, and religious leaders from Lagos, Ogun, Oyo, Ekiti, Osun, and Ondo states.

According to MENTIKI, 92 per cent of adolescents in the Southwest states complete their primary schools, while only 85 percent of them complete their studies in secondary school.

She also declared UNICEF’s support to tackle such issues, noting that the initiative was to create awareness and support the states to create plans and policies whereby the girls would be encouraged to pursue their future in spite of these challenges.
