Senate Raises Concerns Over Influx of Substandard Petroleum Products in Nigeria
On July 3, the Senate addressed the issue of substandard Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) and Automotive Gas Oil (AGO) entering the Nigerian market.
Senator Asuquo Ekpeyong highlighted a report indicating that 660 kilotons of substandard diesel were exported to Nigeria.
Despite revised import standards by the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA), enforcement has lagged. The Senate formed an ad-hoc committee to investigate, emphasizing legal consequences for those involved.
Senate President Godswill Akpabio supported a review of the Petroleum Industry Act (PIA). The committee will report back in three weeks.
It has been reported that the Nigerian Air Force has spotted some terrorist hideouts in Borno State.
The force was able to take out some of the facilities used as hideouts and disarmed some of the fighters.
The Director of Public Relations for the Air Force, Ehimen Ejodame, shared that they are beginning to catch up with and evoke fear among the terrorists.
The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has reportedly deployed 1,889 personnel across Kano State ahead of the Eid-el-Kabir celebrations.
This was done to ensure the safety of people traveling in and out of the state during the festive period.
In a statement, the agency said: “The special patrol is part of routine operational measures introduced during festive periods when there is usually high traffic volume on major roads.”
“The aim is to reduce road traffic crashes, minimise congestion, and ensure the safety of lives and property during the Eid-el-Kabir celebrations.”
