Ibe Kachikwu: FG's goal is to fully deregulate the downstream sector

The Minister of state for petroleum, Ibe Kachikwu has revealed that the Federal Government’s goal is to deregulate the downstream sector of the petroleum industry.

 

 The minister also lamented that the country was producing crude oil even at the price of $27 per barrel. 

He said though the government is not there yet, it will continue to fine-tune the process until the goal is achieved.

According to Kachikwu, “At every given time in the history of every country, you will always have partial deregulation. The reason being that you have to catch up each time and make an amendment, and even if it is just one day, you might have some level of subsidy for that one or two days before it is removed.

“What is important is the goal post; where are we headed? Where we are headed is to try and free the industry, so that it can do its own rules, set its own prices itself. There are few mechanics that we still need to get in place properly. We can’t forget the fact that we still have foreign exchange challenges and that income to government is still very tight.

“You still have to find a way to balance that. But what is important is what the objective is. The objective is still to fully deregulate.”

The minister also lamented that the country was producing crude oil at $27, adding that no country will keep up production at this level, when there is uncertainty in the global oil industry.

He said “There are lots of things we still need to address. Cost is a key issue. We are still at $27 per barrel. No decent country would produce oil at $27 per barrel at a time when the pricing is unpredictable. Again, we are going to try to get those figures below $18 per barrel.”

Kachikwu also warned that the nation’s refineries might turn to scrap, if no urgent measure is taken to revamp it.

Adding that “Refineries would have to work; it is really not an option anymore. And not only should they work, they have to work very quickly. The reality is that if we do not privatise and we do not concession — which is not what we are doing — then we have a responsibility to find private capital to get them to where they should be.

 “This is because if we do not get them to work, in 2019, I can assure you that if Dangote system works well, we would have scraps, we won’t have refineries, because by then, it would be too late to do anything.”

The minister also revealed that the Federal Government has spent $40b in the Niger Delta over the last four years.

ASUU Strike:FG expresses possible suspension

The Federal Government on Thursday expressed the possibility that the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) would suspend its going nationwide strike.

 

ASUU had embarked on a one-week warning strike to demand the implementation of previous agreements with the Federal Government

 

Dr Clement Illo, the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Labour and Employment, told newsmen in Abuja that government was positive that ASUU would resolve the crises soon.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that a meeting with ASUU, convened by the Senate President, the Committee on Labour and the Committee on Education, among others, ended in deadlock on Wednesday.

Illo, who described the meeting as “a very positive step”, said the three-hour meeting recorded huge success toward resolving the issues.

He, however, said “it is still work in progress and we are still meeting tomorrow (Friday) and on Monday.

“But the indications are very positive that the issues will be resolved as quickly as possible. We are sure of success on Friday but if we did not, then we will definitely succeed by Monday.

“So, the possibility like I said of suspending the strike is still very positive because there is high possibility that the strike would be suspended.

“This is because the issues have been very well articulated and already, there is a focus on how it will be resolved,” he said.

The permanent secretary said government would do everything possible to ensure that the process of implementing the agreement was resolved as quick as possible.

He added that “like I said, it is very positive, why should government not implement something it signed in good faith?.”

It would be recalled that ASUU had embarked on one-week warning strike to demand the implementation of previous agreements with Federal Government and the removal of universities from the Treasury Single Account (TSA).

Douglas Costa Bayern Munich star withdraws from Brazil Olympic squad

Brazil will be without the services of Douglas Costa for the football tournament at the 2016 Olympic Games after he withdrew because of a thigh injury. 

 

The Bayern Munich winger had been picked as one of the three players over 23 in the Brazil squad for the Games in Rio de Janeiro.

However, the injury has not yet healed, with Bayern making the decision that Costa cannot feature in the Olympics on home soil.

"I greatly regret this," Bayern chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge said.

"We all wanted Douglas to contest the Olympic Games in his home country, but the player's health and fitness takes priority."

Barcelona star Neymar and veteran Palmeiras goalkeeper Fernando Prass were the other two over-age players selected in the squad.

Brazil begin their campaign against South Africa at Estadio Nacional Mane Garrincha in Brasilia on August 4.
