Nigerian Authorities Unveil Streamlined Petrol Import Regulations
The Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA) has introduced new regulations to simplify the process of obtaining petrol import licenses by consolidating various operational guidelines into a single document. The new 2024 Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Operations Regulations revoke previous rules managed by the now-defunct Department of Petroleum Resources and aim to streamline the regulatory process in the petroleum industry.
During a stakeholder engagement in Abuja, NMDPRA Managing Director Farouk Ahmed highlighted the importance of stakeholder consultation before finalizing regulations, as mandated by the Petroleum Industry Act.
The new regulations will consolidate 12 existing guidelines, addressing inconsistencies and enhancing compliance. They will also outline the fees for industry activities and detail penalties for regulatory violations, making it easier for stakeholders to navigate and understand the rules governing the midstream and downstream sectors.
A viral clip has made its way online showing a police officer in Delta State shooting a suspect who had already been restrained.
It can be noted that the suspect was pleading, claiming he had been framed and deceived, and said he would lead them to the right place.
However, while he was pleading, the police officer shot him. The officer later stated that the suspect was armed with a gun.
It was later revealed that the police officer has been arrested, as it is against the law to shoot a restrained suspect.
It was reported by the Kogi State Government that 24 children were abducted from an orphanage home. It was shared that this happened on the 26th of April, Sunday, and gunmen were seen in the area that day.
The information was shared by the Commissioner of Information, Kingsley Fanwo, who shared this sad news and described it as unfortunate.
“We condemn in strong terms the abduction of innocent children from an orphanage, the government is working closely with security operatives to ensure their safe return,”
Ghanaian media personality Afia Schwarzenegger speaks on the xenophobia issues occurring around Africans in South Africa.
