Petroleum Ministry allocates N2.4 billion for water pollution control

The Ministry of Petroleum Resources will this year spend N2.378 billion on water pollution prevention and control.
This is part of the details of the 2014 budget recently laid before the National Assembly by the Minister of Finance, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala.
The water pollution prevention project is located under what the ministry tagged “Preservation of the Environment.”
The budget proposal also shows that the ministry is going to spend N800 million on hydrocarbon pollution restoration project and another N600 million on facilities for technical/administrative cooperation with international bodies on oil and gas development and utilization.
These are apart from the N110.572 million set aside for facilities and equipment for monitoring and evaluation as well as another N57 million earmarked for the implementation of petroleum statistics collaboration, auditing and operationalisation, programmes of the compendium.
These are to be funded by the total N4.121 billion allocated to the ministry in the 2014 budget proposal.

S Sudan troops ‘retake key oil town’

South Sudanese troops have recaptured a key town in one of the country’s oil-rich states from rebels, according to a report, as the major African crude producer teeters on the brink of civil war.
Government forces were separated from Bentiu, the capital of oil-rich Unity state, only by a bridge, and the army told all civilians to leave, according to the BBC.
The UK broadcaster reported later on Friday that the troops had taken back control of the town after a single tank that had been defending the bridge was overcome.
Reuters also reported that Bentiu had fallen, quoting army spokesperson Philip Aguer as saying: “It happened this afternoon (Friday) at 2:30 pm. When you control Bentiu you, control all the oilfields in Unity state.”

Time for Nigeria to plug its oil leaks

For more than a generation technocrats, politicians and oil men have wrestled over whether and how to go about strengthening oversight of Nigeria’s notoriously opaque oil industry. One conclusion that can be drawn from the official confusion this month over the proportion of oil revenues going missing is that little progress has been made in bringing greater transparency to the sector. Africa’s leading oil producer still hosts an industry subject to billions of dollars in abuse, in obvious need of more stringent monitoring.
The latest debate around the issue was sparked by a leaked letter to Goodluck Jonathan, the president. In it the central bank governor warned that the state oil company had failed between January 2012 and July 2013 to account for nearly $50bn in revenues from oil sales. Somewhat inured though many Nigerians are to big-ticket scandals, the scale of this revelation elicited a sharp national intake of breath.

Forces against the oil industry bill

But for different interests in the Nigerian economy, the Petroleum Industry Bill (PIB), which has gone through several alterations, would have been passed into law several years ago.
Indeed, the Minister of Petroleum Resources, Diezani Alison-Madueke, had explained that the PIB would help to reform the way that Nigeria’s oil and gas industry is regulated, if passed into law, without further delay.
This is evident through the several promises that have been made by the minister in the last few years that the bill would be passed, thereby raising the hope of operators, especially indigenous players, only for it to be delayed further.
After 12 years spanning three different administrations, some powerful forces are now bent on scuttling the passage of the bill, which has in itself undergone serious metamorphosis.
What the PIB stands for
The PIB seeks to align the management of the nation’s petroleum resources in accordance with the universal principles of good governance and sustainable development, including bringing the industry legislative framework under a single comprehensive umbrella.

Lagos tanker fire – Stakeholders want tank farms relocated

Victims of last Tuesday’s inferno in Apapa area of Lagos State where 15 people were burnt to death, have called on the government to relocate the fuel tank farms from their present location in Apapa, saying the number of casualties arising from tanker-related accidents in the area was on the increase.
Also, the victims want the government to assist them get back on their businesses.
A victim, Mr. Daniel Apere, lamented that he lost goods worth more than N5 million to the inferno.
“I don’t know where to start from, I watched all my life earnings totalling more than N5 million being consumed by the raging fire. Also, my elder brother lost over N30 million to the fire.”
Apere appealed to the Federal Government to relocate the tank farms from Apapa, saying: “The number of casualties from tanker-related accidents is increasing daily, as a result the tank farms should be removed from Apapa and environs.”
