Does Sinclair Oil Refinery have the same size as Dangote Refinery?

Claim: In a video published on Instagram, popular Afrobeats singer Seun Kuti called out the Chairman of the Dangote Group, Aliko Dangote, saying the Federal Government spent $2bn to purchase a 20 per cent stake in Dangote Refinery, while the same amount was used to buy the entire Sinclair Refinery in America. He noted that both refineries have the same size.

He said, “Do you know how much the Federal Government put into the refinery? They gave $2bn. I did a live stream the day they announced they had given Dangote $2bn for 20 per cent of that refinery. That same day, Sinclair Oil in America sold the same size of refinery with rail tracks, trains, and other things for $2bn. The same Dangote has the audacity to come outside and say the government is sabotaging him.”

Findings

Seun Kuti is a popular Afrobeats artiste with a large following on social media. The live video, which he titled, “Organised abandonment, misinformation and miseducation” had been watched by more than 160,000 of his Instagram followers and shared by different blogs.

According to information from the official website of Dangote Group, the Dangote Refinery is the world’s biggest single-train facility which has 1,100 kilometres to handle 3bn Standard Cubic Foot of gas per day. The refinery, built by Aliko Dangote, was launched on May 22, 2023, but commenced operation on Friday, January 12, 2024, after taking delivery of six million barrels of crude oil.

Situated in the Lekki Free Zone near Lagos, the refinery has 4.78bn litres of storage capacity for refined petroleum products and is designed to produce up to 50m litres of gasoline and 15m litres of diesel a day. The refinery is a 650,000bpd integrated project.

However, the Sinclair Oil Company operates an 85,000 barrel-per-day refinery in Sinclair, Wyoming, and a 25,000bpd refinery in Casper, Wyoming. The two refineries (110,000 bdp) process crude from the Rocky Mountain region, while the Sinclair operation also runs Canadian crude.

According to Reuters, the company has 1,500 branded gasoline stations across 29 states in the US. It is best known for its trademark green dinosaur mascot, Dino, seen on gas station signs and depicted in a balloon that has flown in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York several times. The company also has a network of crude oil and finished-product pipelines and terminals in the Rocky Mountain and midcontinent regions.

The Encyclopedia of Oklahoma History and Culture showed that Harry Ford Sinclair (1876–1956) formed the Sinclair Oil and Refining Corporation on May 1, 1916, as a fully integrated company with production, pipeline, refining, and product distribution capabilities. The two refineries of the American oil company were, however, acquired for $2.6bn by HollyFrontier Corporation in August 2021.

In February 2024, the Dangote Refinery was ranked the seventh largest refinery in the world by NS Energy and SK Energy, but the American refinery was not among the top 10 on the list.

In August 2021, a former Minister of State for Petroleum, Timipre Sylva, said the Federal Executive Council authorised the acquisition of a 20 per cent stake in Dangote Refinery for $2.76bn. But recently, Dangote revealed that the government’s stake in the refinery has reduced to 7.2 per cent from the initial figure.

A Professor of Energy with specialisation in Oil, Natural Gas, Electricity, and Energy Transitions at the University of Lagos, Dayo Ayoade, said Kuti was wrong.

“How can Sinclair Oil Refinery be of the same level as Dangote Refinery of 650,000bpd? Seun is not an expert on energy. He is a musician and social activist. So, you can’t take him seriously on energy issue. Clearly, he is not correct on the claim because the Dangote refinery has just been built. It is not a refinery that has been on ground for years like Sinclair, which is an old refinery,” he added.

Verdict: The claim by son of the Afrobeats legend is false

Are domestic workers covered by new minimum wage?

Are domestic workers covered by new minimum wage?

Claim: Speaking during a plenary session at the Red Chamber on Tuesday, Senate President Godswill Akpabio announced that the newly approved minimum wage applies to all workers across both public and private sectors, including maids and other domestic staff.

He said, “If you are a tailor and you employ additional hands, you cannot pay them below N70,000. If you are a mother with a newborn child and you want to hire a housemaid to look after your child, you cannot pay the person below the approved minimum wage. It is not a maximum wage. It applies to all and sundry. If you hire a driver or gateman, you cannot pay them below N70,000. So, I’m very delighted that this has been passed, and we now look forward to employers of labour improving on what has been set as a benchmark for all to follow.”

Findings

The Senate passed the 2024 National Minimum Wage Amendment Act Bill after President Bola Tinubu transmitted the new wage bill to both chambers of the National Assembly, seeking expeditious support from the lawmakers for its passage.

The new bill replaces the National Minimum Wage Act, No. 8, 2019, which approved a N30,000 minimum wage with five years to negotiate a new wage.

The 2024 wage review pegged the new minimum wage at N70,000 and reduced the number of years for the next minimum wage negotiations to three years.

While leading a debate on the bill, the Majority Leader of the Senate, Opeyemi Bamidele, said N70,000 was agreed upon by all the parties after negotiations as “part of the Federal Government’s short-term measure to mitigate the situation in the country.”

However, both the 2024 National Minimum Wage Amendment Act Bill and the National Minimum Wage Act of 2019 did not include domestic workers in the payment of the monthly minimum wage for employees in the country.

Section 3(1) of the 2019 Act states that “Every employer shall pay a national minimum wage of not less than N30,000 per month to every worker under his establishment, except as otherwise provided under this Act,” while Section 4(1) of the Act states that, “Section 3(1) does not apply to establishments in which workers are employed or paid on a part-time basis and commission or piece rate, an establishment employing less than 25 persons, workers in seasonal employment like agriculture, and any person employed in a vessel or aircraft to which the laws regulating merchant shipping or civil aviation apply.”

Meanwhile, the explanatory memorandum of the 2024 minimum wage amendment bill showed that the 2019 National Minimum Wage Act was amended with the insertion of only two new sections 3(1) and 3(4). Both were silent on domestic workers.

Similarly, the Information System on International Labour Standards on the ILO website revealed that the Domestic Workers Convention No. 189, which clearly stipulates that domestic workers should be included in the payment of the national minimum wage in every country, is part of the 49 conventions of the global labour body that have not been adopted by Nigeria.

Chapter 8 of the ILO Minimum Wage Policy Guide said, “Domestic workers are amongst the lowest paid and often among the most informal group of wage employees. They are also frequently excluded from minimum wage protection. An estimated 21.5 million domestic workers have no minimum wage that is applicable to them, although they exist for other workers. Among those who are covered, many are entitled to a rate that is lower than the minimum wage for other workers.”

A lawyer and founder of Nigerian Regulations, a newsletter that tracks legislative, regulatory and policy developments in Nigeria, Jesutooni Ajiboye, said the Senate President’s claim was inaccurate.

He explained, “Section 4 of the extant National Minimum Wage Act, 2019 is clear about exemptions which include establishments with less than 25 workers, or where workers are employed on a part-time basis, among others. Essentially, employers of labour with less than 25 employees are not bound by the Minimum Wage Act. Suffice it to mention that even the current bill, which has been transmitted to the President for signing did not amend the position under the 2019 Act, and the exemptions still apply under the 2024 Minimum Wage Bill.”

The Head of Public Affairs of the Nigerian Labour Congress, Benson Upah, said, “Inasmuch as we want every worker to be captured, the making of the law at the moment excludes certain categories of workers. But if the number of workers is up to 25, of course, they automatically belong to the minimum wage bracket.”

Verdict: The Senate President’s claim is false

Grandson kills septuagenarian over farm in Osun

A 78-year-old grandfather, Akanbi Adedoyin, has been allegedly killed by his grandson, Kusibe, who struck his head with a plank during a disagreement over a farm in the Ilare-Ijesha community, Osun State.

Sunday According gathered that residents in the area, who heard the old man crying for help, rushed to the scene and rescued him.

A resident of Ilare-Ijesa, who was part of those who arrived rushed to the scene but refused to disclose his name for safety reasons, said the residents rushed the injured grandfather to a government health facility in the town for urgent treatment.

The resident said, “But we were told to move him to Wesley Guild Hospital, Ilesa, for more treatment because of the severity of the wounds but we could not move him. There was no money for further treatment.

“He eventually died two days later. I arrived at the scene of the crime early but there was no one with the grandfather and Kusibe when the incident happened. We heard the noise and rushed down.

“The old man said Kusibe hit him on the head. He lost so much blood. We were told to go to Wesley Guild Ilesa but we could not. The man eventually died. The incident happened on Monday but the grandfather died on Wednesday.”

Another resident of Ilare, identified simply as Oludele, said people who rushed to the scene immediately after the incident, arrested Kusibe and handed him over to operatives of Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, from where he was transferred to the Esa Oke Division of the state police command.

The Owalare of Ilare, Oba Adejoro Otebolaku, while commenting on the incident in a statement obtained by our correspondent on Saturday, urged the police to ensure justice was served in the matter to serve as deterrent.

The state Police Public Relations Officer, Yemisi Opalola, said an investigation by the police revealed that Kusibe attacked his grandfather over a disagreement on farm ownership.

She said, “It is true. Kusibe allegedly hit the grandfather, 78, on the head after an argument bordering on ownership of farmland. He was arrested and taken to court. The court has remanded him in a custodial centre. The incident happened on Monday but the grandfather died on Wednesday.”

We’re not aware of directive to reverse electricity tariff hike – NERC

The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission has explained why it has not reverted to the old electricity tariff as directed by the House of Representatives.

On Tuesday, the House directed NERC and the electricity distribution companies to reverse the electricity tariff hike imposed on Band ‘A’ customers.

Recall that the NERC raised the electricity tariff on April 3, 2024 for the Band A customers who are said to be enjoying 20 hours of daily power supply.

The tariff hike has since generated reactions from Nigerians as consumers who fall under the Band A category continue to lament the surge in their electricity bill.

The Band A consumers are paying N225 kilowatt per hour against the N66 they used to pay.

Addressing the concerns of Nigerians over the electricity tariff hike, the Green Chamber ordered NERC and DisCos to revert to the old tariff.

The directive follows the adoption of recommendations from the House Committee on Power, presented by Victor Nwokolo during a session chaired by Deputy Speaker, Hon. Benjamin Kalu.

But the Spokesperson for NERC, Usman Arabi, said the commission has not received official communication from the Representatives on the directive.

He said, “We have not received official communication from the house on the directive. Usually, when there are resolutions, they will be communicated officially. But we have yet to receive the resolution.”

Similarly, some federal universities in areas designated Band A by the Discos have been groaning under heavy electricity bills.

They lamented that ever since NERC approved the 300 per cent increase in the tariff, electricity bills of their campuses have surged, forcing them to cough out between N80m and N300m monthly.

Confirming this in an interview with our correspondent on Friday, the Secretary-General of the Committee of Vice-Chancellors of Nigerian Universities, Prof Yakubu Ochefu, said the rise in the energy bills had affected operations of the universities.

Ochefu said, “It does impact the operations of the universities. It is the way it impacts the operations of every organisation. If there is a nearly 300 per cent rise in energy cost, it will affect our operations.”

But speaking with Sunday According on Friday, the Executive Director of Research & Advocacy of the DisCos, Sunday Oduntan, said exchange rate and interest rate are major factors responsible for the electricity tariff hike.

Oduntan noted that the recent increase in tariffs, particularly for Band A customers, is a result of the removal of subsidies.

Reps to seek Kyari’s sacking over Dangote refinery ordeal

The House of Representatives has vowed to call for the sack of the Group Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, Mele Kyari, if he continues to work against the smooth operation of the Dangote Refinery.

Deputy spokesman of the House, Philip Agbese, disclosed this on Saturday while briefing journalists in Abuja, the nation’s capital.

This is just as the Benue lawmaker stated that the legislative body had already expressed support for the call for the sack of the Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority, Mr Farouk Ahmed.

According to the All Progressives Congress legislator, both the NNPCL and the NMDPRA have demonstrated their intention to work against the Dangote Refinery.

He said, “We have been seeing a lot by way of demarketing campaigns to discredit the Dangote Petroleum Refinery and given the negative impact of this, which has caused panic in the country.

“It is on record that the House directed the President to sack NMDPRA’s CEO.

“The House of Representatives will not hesitate to call for the sack of Mele Kyari if the attempt to destroy the refinery project, a national asset, does not stop immediately.”

Rivers command ready to handle any situation — CP

The Rivers State Police Command says the state Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has redeemed the N100m bounty on the head of a notorious cult leader, Gift Okpara, aka 2Baba, who alongside his gang members killed a Divisional Police Officer, Superintendent Bako Angbashin,  in the Oduemude area of the state.

The state Commissioner of Police, Olatunji Disu, confirmed the development during a parade held in honour of the slain DPO at the state police headquarters on Saturday, adding that the corpse of the slain officer had been released to the family.

Disu said, “On March 25, 2024, the police killed the wanted cult leader during a raid in his hideout in the Idu-Ekpeye community in Ahoada, while his body was recovered a few days later in the Ibrass forest, in the Ahoada West Local Government Area of the state.

“I would like to express my deepest appreciation to the Governor of Rivers State, Sir Siminalayi Fubara, who kept his word and redeemed the N100m pledge to those who provided credible information that led to the neutralisation of the suspect, 2Baba, and the recovery of his corpse, which was hidden by his gang members. I also want to thank the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, PhD, NPM, for his encouragement and support throughout the operation.”

“He (Angbashin) was instrumental in arresting the notorious criminal, Boboski, who had terrorised motorists along the Akwa-Ibom section of the East-West Road, and restored order to Bori and its environs by eliminating all forms of cultism when he was the Divisional Police Officer in Bori.”

Disu said  Angbashin’s gallantry and operational expertise led to his transfer to the Ahoada Division, where he was tasked with effecting the arrest of 2Baba.

He said, “He employed all his skills and experience to apprehend 2Baba and his associates alive and was on the verge of a breakthrough when he met the tragic event that resulted in his murder and dismemberment.

“Following the gory incident, the command was initially unable to recover the late SP Bako Angbashim’s remains. However, we are now pleased to announce that we have successfully recovered his remains.”

Receiving the casket containing the remains of the late DPO, the deceased’s elder brother, Dogo, expressed happiness that his brother served the nation meritoriously as a police officer.

He also said late Angbashin bequeathed a legacy of gallantry in the state police command and the force in general.

Dogo stated, “I’m here on behalf of the family and the good people of Nasarawa State to receive the remains of our late brother, SP Bako Angbashin.

“I thank the Rivers State Police Command, the CP in particular, and his men for their efforts to ensure that the killers of my late brother were brought to book and the extra effort to recover his body.”

Porous borders, poverty hindering fight against insecurity – CDS

Elite frustrating efforts to stop foreign illegal miners — Military

Nigeria’s Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Musa, has decried the extreme poverty in Nigeria and the porous state of the country’s borders, attributing them to the rising incidents of banditry, kidnapping, and other related crimes.

Speaking as the Guest Speaker at the Institute of Development Research and Training, Ahmadu Bello University Zaria, Kaduna State, on Friday, the CDS highlighted the significant challenges these issues pose to national security.

General Musa explained that the porous borders facilitate the cross-border movements of criminals into the North. “Nigeria shares 1,600 km of total land border with the Republic of Niger, 1,975 km with the Republic of Cameroon, and a total of 85 km with Chad Republic. Nigeria also shares a total distance of 809 km with Benin, most of which are in the North,” he noted.

He emphasised that the porous nature of these borders encourages the movement of criminal elements, including Boko Haram terrorists, Islamic State of West Africa Province (ISWAP), bandits, kidnappers, armed militias, and violent herdsmen.

He pointed out that many citizens in the North share cultural and tribal ties with border countries, making it challenging to enforce restrictions on unauthorized cross-border movements. The CDS also linked the effects of climate change in the region, such as increased desertification and the shrinking of Lake Chad, to the insecurity in the North.

“This has led to the quest for water and grazing areas, resulting in clashes and killings, especially across the North-West and North Central Regions of the country,” he said.

From a social perspective, General Musa identified illiteracy, ethno-religious factors, hunger, and lack of social infrastructure as key contributors to the problem. These issues have culminated in the emergence of terrorism, armed banditry, and violent militias, kidnappings, and herders-farmers clashes, among other security threats in Northern Nigeria.

The CDS noted that the security challenges in the northern part of the country are influenced by both external and internal factors such as the proliferation of small arms and light weapons, political instability, and socio-economic factors like poverty and inequality.

“Nigeria is of great socio-political importance to Africa and the world at large. Thus, the contemporary security situation in the country and the North is influenced by both external and internal factors. This is largely because Nigeria is a major actor in the sub-region. These, among several other parameters, are testaments to the importance of Nigeria in the continent and across the world,” he stated.

“On the external scene, the situations in our contiguous nations and their other neighbors have also contributed to the insecurity in Northern Nigeria. For example, the political crisis in Libya and other sub-Saharan countries aggravated the security situation in Nigeria through the proliferation of Small Arms and Light Weapons into the country through Chad and Niger,” the CDS added.

I'm not in support of violence in South East

The push to get President Bola Tinubu to release the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, has intensified in recent times with the visit of traditional rulers and archbishops of South East extraction to him in his detention facility.

Speaking with Sunday According on Friday, Kanu’s lead counsel, Aloy Ejimako, said the visit which was shrouded in secrecy was at the instance of the region’s governors who had been interfacing with the Federal Government to release Kanu from detention.

He said the meeting was aimed at convincing the detained Biafran agitator to agree to the stringent conditions reeled out by the Federal Government for his release.

Ejimako added that the emissaries were expected to meet with state governors of the region to present details of their meeting with Kanu to them in the days ahead.

The governors are in turn, expected to meet with Tinubu at a later date to present Kanu’s position as received from the emissaries for possible adoption and implementation.

Ejimako said, “With particular reference to the intervention of South-East governors, myself and three high delegates from the Joint Body of Southeast Archbishops and Traditional Rulers met with Mazi Nnamdi Kanu yesterday at the DSS for over two hours.

“The delegation comprised of Archbishop Chibuzor Opoko, Archbishop David Onuoha, and Dr Uju Agomoh. The meeting was highly fruitful because it’s this body that is interfacing with SE governors on the matter of freeing Kanu and other issues pertinent to it.

“So, sequel to this meeting, the body, which is headed by His Royal Majesty, Dr Nnaemeka Achebe (Obi of Onitsha) will revert to South East governors with what Nnamdi Kanu had said to them. It’s from that point that a meeting between President Tinubu and South East governors is expected to materialise.”

Ejimako explained that his public crusade against the continued detention and trial of Kanu was driven by the standing judicial pronouncements and legal principles against his rendition, detention, and trial.

Couple buy baby from Lagos traffickers, arrested during naming ceremony

The Lagos State Police Command has rescued a two-month-old baby boy from a couple, Mr and Mrs James Uwam, during the naming ceremony of the child in the state.

The state Police Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin, in a statement on Saturday, said the couple paid N2,350,000 to buy the baby from a suspected child trafficker, Loretta Nelson, who bought the baby from a pastor, Peter Udoh, for N1,450,000.

Hundeyin said Udoh bought the baby for N500,000 from another suspected child trafficker, Gloria Sunday, who allegedly stole the baby on July 11, 2024, a situation that prompted the mother of the baby to report the case to the police.

Following the report, Hundeyin said the police swung to action and arrested Sunday, who led them to arrest other suspects linked to the crime by detectives attached to the Oko Oba Division of the command.

The PPRO said, “Detectives swung into action which led to the arrest of Gloria Sunday who during interrogation confessed to selling the baby for N500,000 to one Pastor Peter Udoh.

“Pastor Udoh, who was subsequently arrested in Ikene Town, Ogun State, admitted reselling the child for N1,450,000 to one Loretta Nelson who was then also apprehended in Festac Town, Lagos.”

Hundeyin said Nelson confessed to selling the baby for N2,350,000 to one Mr. and Mrs. James Uwam who were apprehended during the naming ceremony of the stolen child.

Hundeyin noted that investigations have commenced and the suspects will be arraigned at the court after the investigation.

N’Assembly moves to strengthen NIMC, protect data

The unfortunate loss of several members of the National Assembly has marked the last one year.

The 10th Assembly has recorded the death of five members since its inauguration in June 2023.

While the House of Representatives lost four members, the Senate recorded the death of one member.

There are 469 members of the National Assembly, comprising 109 senators and 360 House of Representatives members.

National Assembly members who had died in the last one year are Ekene Adams, Olaide Akinyemi, Isa Dogonyaro, Abdulkadir Danbuga and Senator Ifeanyi Ubah, who died.

Their deaths have left a significant void in the legislative body and impacted the lives of their constituents.

Abdulkadir Danbuga

On October 11, 2023, a member, representing Isa/Sabon Birni Federal constituency of Sokoto State, on the platform of the All Progressives Congress, Abdulkadir Jelani Danbuga, passed on following a brief illness. Danbuga is survived by two wives, many children and grandchildren.

President Bola Tinubu, in a statement by his media aide, Ajuri Ngelale, said the lawmaker’s demise created a void in his immediate family and robbed the people of his constituency of quality and uncompromising representation in the House of Representatives.

“I offer my condolences to his family, constituents, and the people and government of Sokoto State. I also condole with the presiding officers of the House of Representatives and the entire membership over the devastating loss of an eminent colleague,” Tinubu was quoted as saying.

Isa Dogonyaro

Isa Dogonyaro, also a member of the House of Representatives, died on May 10, 2024, in Abuja after undisclosed illness.

Dogonyaro represented Garki/Babura Federal constituency of Jigawa State on the platform of the APC.

He was declared the lawful APC candidate for the House of Representatives in the 2023 general election after a court sacked Aminu Kanta who was declared the winner of the primary election in the constituency.

Until his death, Dogonyaro was the deputy chairperson of the House Committee on HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria Control.

Ekene Adams

A member of the House of Representatives representing Chikun/Kajuru Federal Constituency of Kaduna State, on the platform of the Labour Party, Ekene Adams died on July 16, 2024, at 39 after battling ill health.

Until his demise, Adams was the House Committee on Sports chairman.

Before he was elected a federal lawmaker, Adams worked in the Sports sector. He was at different times the general manager of Kada City Football Club in Kaduna State and Remo Stars in Ogun State.

His demise was announced in a statement by the House spokesman, Akin Rotimi, who described him as “a dedicated public servant, passionate sports administrator, and kind philanthropist”.

Also, the National Chairman of LP, Julius Abure while mourning the death of Adams said the news of his death came to him as a rude shock.

Musiliudeen Akinremi

Still in July, a two-term member of the House of Representatives, Musiliudeen Akinremi, who was representing Ibadan North Federal Constituency, Oyo State, died in Abuja.

Akinremi, popularly called Jagaban, died at 51.

He served as the Chairman of the House Committee on Science Research Institutions.

Akinremi, a member of the APC, was elected in 2019 and won his re-election in 2023.

The lawmaker also reportedly died after battling a brief illness.

Senator Ifeanyi Ubah

The National Assembly was on Saturday thrown into mourning with the death of the lawmaker representing Anambra South, Senator Ifeanyi Ubah.

Ubah, who was the Chief Executive Officer of Capital Oil, was said to have died in London, the United Kingdom.

He would have been 53 on September 3.

Senate spokesperson, Yemi Adaramodu, confirmed Ubah’s death to our correspondent on Saturday.

He was the founder of a Nigerian daily newspaper, The Authority. He also founded the Ifeanyi Ubah FC, a football club in the Nigeria Premier League, following its purchase as Gabros International Football Club. He also founded a foundation named after him; Ifeanyi Ubah Foundation.

In 2014, Ubah contested the 2014 Anambra governorship election on the platform of the Labour Party but lost the race.

On February 24, 2019, Ubah was declared the winner of the Anambra South Senatorial elections on the platform of the Young Progressive Party but defected to APC.

Ubah was married to Uchenna Ubah, a Business Administration graduate of Ahmadu Bello University, with whom he had five children.
