  • EFCC recovers N329b from 10 marketers

    EFCC recovers N329b from 10 marketers

    The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has recovered N329.150billion from 10 marketers from 2016 to date.

    The marketers defaulted in payment for products supplied to them by the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) through its subsidiary, the Petroleum Products and Marketing Company (PPMC).

    About N20, 604, 109, 123.90 is yet to be recovered.

    The PPMC has written to the EFCC to help recover the funds.

    Following a petition against the marketers, EFCC Acting Chairman Ibrahim Magu raised a special task force to investigate how the marketers incurred the debts of about N349, 818,411,556.37.

    The Task Force, which was managed by the EFCC Zonal office in Kano, recovered the N329.150billion   from 10 marketers.

    After the reconciliation at the weekend, the PPMC gave a status report to the Acting Chairman.

    The report, signed by Umar Ajiya reads in part:  “Further to our previous correspondence to your office in respect of the above subject matter, please note that till date, the debts recovered from major oil marketers include N87, 028, 851, 268.17 and N242, 121, 256,468.03 for legacy and current debts respectively, leaving a balance of N20, 604, 109, 123.90 broken down into N4, 426,439, 240(legacy debts) and N16, 177,669, 883.90(current debts)

    “These amounts have been agreed with the marketers that they shall be deducted and paid from outstanding entitlements or payments due to the marketers from the Federal Ministry of Finance and which will bring to the end the debt recovery effort.

    We wish to express our profound gratitude for the successful collaboration between the EFCC and PPMC/ NNPC which largely resulted in the huge recovery of debt from the marketers from the inception of the recovery exercise in 2016 to date.”

    A source, who spoke in confidence, said if the EFCC had not moved in, some of the marketers would have been foot-dragging on the debts.

    “You can imagine what N349billion can do in the life of a nation. Some of these marketers were supplied products but they did not pay even after selling to customers.

    “The EFCC detectives are still working on the recovery of the over N20billion still outstanding,” he said.

    Earlier, the Head of Media and Publicity of EFCC, Mr. Wilson Uwujaren, had given an insight into the breakthrough by EFCC detectives.

    He said:  “Findings by the operatives of the EFCC revealed that the oil marketers were actually indebted to the Federal Government to the tune of N91,519,485,204.44billion between 2010 and 2016.

    ”Further investigation into the allegation also revealed that the oil marketers had continued to obtain petroleum products from the government without proper payment, in violation of the NNPC/PPMC credit facility regulations.

    ”Upon the conclusion of the preliminary investigation, officials of NNPC/PPMC and all the managing directors of the concerned companies which are NNPC retails , Conoil Plc, Total Plc, OVH Energy Plc, Oando Plc, Forte Oil and Gas Plc, Mobil Plc, MRS Oil Plc, and NIPCO Oil Plc were invited to the Kano Zonal Office of the Commission where their statements were recorded following which the recovery process commenced.”

    Shady deals in the oil sector, including the fuel subsidy scandal, were  said to have cost the nation over N1.3 trillion in 2011.

    But the manipulation of subsidy claims caused an uproar nationwide.

    The Presidential Committee on Verification and Reconciliation of Fuel Subsidy Payments had initially  indicted 21 firms for fraudulent claims that cost the nation N382 billion but the list was later increased to 25 by the Federal Ministry of Finance, based on fresh evidence.

    The former Chairman of the Committee, Mr. Aigboje Aig-Imoukhuede, said  of the N422 billion scrutinised, N18 billion was found to be duplication; N21 billion was cleared.

    He also confirmed out of the 116 oil marketing and trading companies (OM&T) invited, 107 honoured the invitation.

    He said: “Of the N422 billion, N18 billion was found to be duplication. So, the actual amount that was being verified is N403 billion. Of this amount, N21 billion was cleared and that leaves N382 billion as the sum in contention for which the committee recommended that the process of recovery should be made,” the report noted

  • Petroleum marketers in Ekiti suspend strike

    Petroleum marketers in Ekiti suspend strike

    The Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN) in Ekiti on Sunday suspended its strike.

    NAN reports that IPMAN embarked on the action on May 25, over demolition of some petrol stations and the revocation of some Certificate of Occupancy by the Gov. Ayo Fayose.

    The suspension of the strike is contained in a communiqué issued in Osogbo at the end of a peace meeting called by Gov. Rauf Aregbesola of Osun.

    The communiqué, which was signed by Aregbesola, Fayose and the representatives of the marketers, was made available to newsmen at Osun Government House where the peace meeting was held.

    According to the communiqué, an ad hoc committee would be constituted to fashion out in clear terms the conditions and guidelines for the establishment and operations of filling stations in Ekiti state.

    It stated that the committee, to comprise of representatives of Ekiti state government and oil and gas stakeholders, shall begin work on June 7.

    “In the spirit of reconciliation, the Ekiti government has agreed to pleas for reversal of the revocation of some Certificates of Occupancy of landed properties on which filling stations are built, except the ones on waterways and canals,” the communique said.

    It also stated that the Ekiti government had agreed to stop further demolitions pending the outcome of the committee’s report.

    “The Nigerian Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG), IPMAN and other related oil and gas unions, hereby, suspend the industrial action embarked upon by their members, with immediate effect,” it said.

    Fayose, while speaking with journalists after the meeting, commended the black marketers, who had taken over the streets of Ado Ekiti and other towns.

    He said their services cushioned the effect of the scarcity caused by the strike.

    Fayose, however, said that with the fuel marketers resuming operations, black marketers were sure to fizzle out.

    On his part, Aregbesola said the resolution of the crisis was a confirmation that the people had the capacity to resolve their differences.

    He commended the maturity of his Ekiti state counterpart and the fuel marketers for allowing the crisis to be successfully resolved. (NAN)

    Akiolu to bankers: stop using women as marketers

    The Oba of Lagos, Oba Rilwan Akiolu, has urged heads of banks and other financial institutions to stop sending women out as marketers to look for hefty deposits.
    He said the approach should not be encouraged, if the banking sector would develop the economy.
    The frontline monarch spoke yesterday in Lagos while receiving an award from the Chartered Institute of Bankers of Nigeria (CIBN) at the 22nd World Conference of Banking Institutes.
    Akiolu noted that for the banking sector to grow, security gadgets, technology, cameras and other facilities should be deployed to stem financial crimes.
    He called for the adoption of his report, which he obtained from the Special Chief of Police conference in the United States of America (U.S.A) when he was in the police.
    The monarch urged President Muhammadu Buhari to grant Lagos State a special status.
    He said the unplanned attitude and wasteful spending of the past, which caused the recession, should not be adopted again.
    Akiolu prayed God to give the President good health to enable him oversee his reforms to fruition.
    The Obi of Onitsha, Igwe Alfred Achebe, said keeping money locked up somewhere should never be allowed in the society where there is no stable water supply and electricity for the masses.
    He called for attitudinal change from the nation’s leaders.
    The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, was also honoured.

  • Marketers stop fuel supply to Ekiti

    Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN), at the weekend,  stopped supply of fuel to Ekiti State.

    They are protesting the demolition of four filling stations under construction in Ado-Ekiti by Governor Ayo Fayose.

    The demolition, they claimed, “was done in bad faith and malice”.

    The governor, who revoked their Certificates of Occupancy, said he would not allow construction of filling stations in “unauthorised places”, such as residential areas and ordered  marketers to apply for recertification.

    The situation has inflicted hardship on motorists, motorcyclists and commuters as residents travel to neighbouring states to buy fuel.

    Black marketers are cashing in on the situation to make brisk business.

    Only the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) filling station at Ajebamidele was dispensing fuel yesterday.

    It was besieged by motorists who formed a long queue.

    Others who could not withstand the rigours travelled as far as Iju, Itaogbolu and Akure in Ondo State to buy the commodity.

    A senior IPMAN executive said yesterday that members had received an order from the Abuja headquarters to stop supply of fuel to Ekiti.

    He said petrol marketers were  demonised by the governor, who called them thieves and other unprintable names on a live radio and television programme.

    “Withdrawal of their services was one of the ways to send a strong message.”

    The source said: “Yes, this order came from Abuja and it is above oil dealers in Ekiti State.

    “Our people in Abuja were not happy with how the members are being threatened in Ekiti.

    “No tanker can enter the state. But there is an instruction that we can  sell the one we have in our underground tanks after which the directive will take effect.”

  • Subsidy fund: Senate to probe alleged irregularities by NNPC, marketers

    Subsidy fund: Senate to probe alleged irregularities by NNPC, marketers

    The Senate said it had concluded arrangements to probe the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) and Independent Marketers over alleged irregularities in the subsidy fund.

    Chairman, Senate Committee on Petroleum Downstream, Sen. Kabiru Marafa, said this on Sunday while briefing newsmen in Abuja.

    According to Marafa, the NNPC has failed to justify to satisfaction the near N5.2 trillion spent on subsidy importation of petroleum products from 2006 to 2016.

    “This sum is in addition to the 445,000 barrels of crude oil for domestic consumption. This is more than the annual budget of Nigeria,” he said.

    “We note allegations already brought to our attention concerning the importation of Automotive Gas Oil (AGO) under various import contracts wherein hundreds of millions of litres of AGO have been imported and allocated to choice marketers at discounted values,” he said.

    The Chairman added that the committee had also established the disappearance of 100 million litres of Premium Motor Spirit (PMC) worth N14 billion kept in the custody of two companies.

    He said the committee would invite NNPC past and present executives, Heads of Operations and Planning and Desk Management Officers responsible for purchasing of products sold to Nigeria.

    “It is pertinent to stress that where invitees failed to cooperate with us, then adequate sanctions shall be carried out ranging from publishing of names of industry news providers.

    “Where relevant reward and incentives will be available to support the courage of members of the public who come forward,” he said.

    Marafa said that the committee would also implement its own Whistle Blower platform to enable it get information on corrupt practices.

    He said that the committee would conduct a three-day public hearing on the matter.
    Also speaking, Chairman, Senate Committee on Upstream, Sen. Tayo Alasoadura, said it was very important that the License Inspection Agency also appeared before the committee.

    “This is because they were hired by the Federal Government to ensure that Nigeria was not cheated in any way on items imported into the country.

    “If we had introduced little efficiency, we will not be having these irregularities,” he said.

    He said that everybody involved should be ready to give account of what had been put in his care.

    “People who have been taking this country for granted will be brought to book,” he said.

    Similarly, Chairman, Senate Committee on Gas Resources, Sen. Albert Bassey, said that the investigation would be very exhaustive.

    “We understand the failure of past investigations. We assure Nigerians that we are working to protect the collective interest of all Nigerians.

    “We are not out to witch-hunt anybody but to hold people accountable,” he said.

  • Fed Govt owes oil marketers N300b subsidy

    The Federal Government is owing oil marketers N300billion in oil subsidy, Group Chief Executive Officer (GCEO), Forte Oil Nigeria, Akin Akinfemiwa, has said

    Akinfemiwa spoke before the Hon. Abdullahi Mahmud Gaya-headed House of Representatives Adhoc committee investigating alleged huge debts and criminal,act of sabotage by major oil marketers in connivance with  Products Pipeline Marketing Company (PPMC).

    He told the investigative hearing committee that his firm is being owed N13.8 billion and owes PPMC N5.9 billion from the oil lifted.

    He said:  “From our records, as at January 31, out indebtedness was to the tune of N5.995 billion . But we’re being owed N13.8 billion from subsidy. This is part of the over N300 billion the government is owing different oil companies.”

    The Forte Oil boss said government is however trying to,settle the debt.

    He said: “So far, the government, led by the Chief of Staff to the president invited us to a meeting with other stakeholders to address two issues. One was to continue petrol supply and two was for Federal Government to pay its debts.

    “Under the debts, a committee was set up to settle them. The total stands at over N300 billion. Right now, we can’t even do much, but we don’t want a situation where there will be queues in the country.

    “If you look at the N13.8 billion, we’re the ones being owed about N8 billion. We have also written to the Senate in recent times where we asked them to assist us with the payments of subsidy. The banks are not even borrowing as at now. We even paid about N5 billion as at the end of December.”

    In line with the mandate given the committee by the House, which is to recover the huge debts oil markers owe the government, the committee  wanted to know how and when the N5.9 billion Forte Oil is owing the government would be paid

    Bode Ayorinde, a member of the committee said: “ From this paper, you’re owing N5.955 billion. Did your agreement give room for debts? What’s the circle of the debts? What is the security for the debts? What is the interest agreed to be paid on outstanding debts? Do you sell on credits to those who buy from you?”

    Henry Nwaoba, also a member of the committee said in order to verify Forte Oil’s claims, t here is need to,have the details of the company’s credit dealers.

    “Do you have bank loans taken to assist you do retail business?” He asked.

    Akinfemiwa told the lawmakers that there was a 15 days debt payment agreement on oil lifting.

    He said: “Even if you lift N500 billion worth of oil, you need to pay within 15 days. Ideally, we should have reviewed the agreement terms after the fuel price increase from N87.5 to N145.”

  • ‘Alleged N450m campaign cash came from oil marketers’

    ‘Alleged N450m campaign cash came from oil marketers’

    Barely a few hours after he was granted bail, a former Minister of National Planning, Prof. Abubakar Olanrewaju Sulaiman, said the N450 million campaign fund, which  he was charged with, came from oil marketers.

    He said the cash was part of voluntary donations made to the administration of ex-President Goodluck Jonathan by some marketers.

    He said neither him nor a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Mr. Dele Belgore, personally benefited from the money.

    Sulaiman, who made the clarifications in a statement in Abuja against the backdrop of his arraignment at a Federal High Court in Lagos, said EFCC had no business with the investigation of private donations.

    The statement said: “Recently, Mr. Dele Belgore, SAN, and my humble self, were invited by the  Economic and Financial Crimes Commission  to its Lagos Office for questioning on N450 million campaign fund  during the 2015 Presidential elections.

    “Of course, we were in the EFCC’s custody for  a few days and today, by the grace of God, we were granted bail on self-recognisance.

    “It is however  apt to  put the record straight and situate the development within the context of  the politics currently playing out under the present administration.

    “I wish to state unequivocally that this  didn’t come to me as a surprise. It is a continuation of politics by other means, and that has nothing to do with the source of election funds that emanated from the presidential campaign  office.

     “The question is; what has EFCC got to do with donations voluntarily made by oil marketers to Jonathan government?

    “The commission, in a bid to implicate us and set the public against us, was busy struggling and   frantically searching for better word to use. The whole charade is an abuse of prosecutorial power .

    “But I assure you  it cannot stand in any court of law. We shall fight hard to prove our innocence and I believe the judiciary is there to do justice to this case. Thank God, we are not being alleged to personally enrich ourselves with the so-called fund.”

  • Forex scarcity forces Marketers to cut imports

    F10uel marketers are cutting   imports because of their inability to get foreign exchange (forex), which now sells for N480 per dollar in the parallel market, The Nation has learnt.

    The situation is worsened by other factors, such as increase in the landing cost of fuel, poor profit and margins.

    It was gathered that the scarcity of forex had increased landing cost  from N133.28 per litre to N135, which made marketers to reduce importats and rely on the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) for supply.

    It was further learnt that NIPCO and some oil marketing companies still import while many of the firms had either stopped or reduced their imports.

    An official of an oil marketing firm, who did not want to be named, said the issue was affecting members of the Major Marketers Association of Nigeria (MOMAN) and the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN).

    The source said NNPC was importing a larger percentage of fuel, because it had enough forex.

    The source said: “Problems, such as scarcity of forex, dwindling profit as evidenced by the poor margins being recorded by marketers, among others, have stalled efforts of marketers to bring in fuel. This informed the decision of the marketers to buy from NNPC.

    “Marketers buy fuel at N135 per litre as against N133.28. By the time the transport cost of N3 per litre and the bridging cost of N6.20 per litre are factored in, they (marketers) are left with very little profit, which in most cases is between N1 per litre and N1.50 per litre.’’

    MOMAN Executive Secretary Mr. Obafemi Olawore said the margins on litres of fuel were not enough. “The margins gained on imported petroleum products by marketers have never been adequate. By now marketers should be talking about impressive margins.”

    Olawore said he was yet to find out whether marketers were importing fuel or not. “I’m not abreast of the developments in the sector because I have been on leave,” he said.

    However, IPMAN factional leader Chinedu Okoronkwo refuted the claim.

    He said marketers were getting enough forex to import fuel, adding that operators were not complaining.

  • If your content is worth the time, people will watch it – Yewande Adekoya

    If your content is worth the time, people will watch it – Yewande Adekoya

    Yoruba actress cum producer, Yewande Adekoya-Abiodun, was banned recently. With her movie, ‘The Enemy Within’ hitting 200 thousand views in 10 days she tells DUPE AYINLA-OLASUNKANMI, why she stopped producing English movies which she started with and her passion, state of the industry, among other issues.

    WHAT is the present state of your ban?

    It has been resolved. All I can say is that it was a misconception.

    You seem to have gained more followers since the incidence. Would you say it worked to your advantage?

    I wouldn’t say it was the ban that caused that. I think it is as a result of my recently released movie The Enemy Within (Ota Ile). I thank God for the success of the movie. My fans loved it and I am grateful to them for that.

    Would you say having an association has also helped in the lifting of the ban?

    Yes it helped a lot. My association stood strongly by me in the course of the whole drama and I am glad to be a member of the Theatre Arts and Motion Picture Producers Association of Nigeria TAMPAN. May God continue to lead us in the right direction.

    How did the journey start?

    I began acting in 2002 with Alpha bash Music and Theatre Group. We were majorly into stage performances but I went ahead to script and produce my first movie in 2006 titled Life Secret. I later turned it into a soap opera and then shot the second season in 2007. I shot my first Yoruba film in 2009, it’s titled Igbo Dudu. After I had shot and edited Igbo Dudu, I was then in need of a very good marketer who would deliver the movie to my target audience. That was what led me to Olasco films. That day, I walked into his office with a preview copy of Igbo Dudu. I asked him to watch it and then call me if he is interested in doing business. I remember vividly that I was in company of two of my friends that day. Olasco Film boss gave me a call the following day saying he is very interested in Igbo Dudu and that was how we started doing business together. Igbo Dudu was eventually released early 2011.

    You mentioned changing your first movie to a soap. Why?

    That is a very long story. But let me say it quickly. I featured the likes of Grace Amah, Segun Arinze, Yomi Fash-Lanso, Chinyere Winifred, among others in my first movie in 2006. It was an English movie; but I ran into problems while I started shopping for a movie marketer for it. They first had a problem with me not having an English name.  They wondered how I was ever going to make it in the English sector. I still don’t believe till date that anyone could ever think like that.

    Secondly, they didn’t like the fact that Yomi Fash-Lanso played the lead role. They said it was an English movie for crying out loud, and why would Yomi Fash be in it and then get to play the lead role. They gave me names of English male actors at time that seemed appropriate.

    Was that the reason, you stopped producing English movies?

    I got upset because I see the Nigerian entertainment industry as one and it was heartbreaking for me to see division and bias taking front seat in decision making as regards filmmaking at that time; when your decision making should be based on professionalism, delivery, growth and expansion of our film audience.

    One of them asked me to reshoot the movie using a different person for the lead role but I wasn’t going to have any of that, so I started to re-write and expand the story. I ended up with a second season of Life Secret in 2007. Aside myself, I featured actors such as Sam Uche, Richardo Agbo, Yomi Fash-Lanso,  Adebayo Salami, Gabriel Afolayan, Mistura Asunramu, Ronke Odusanya, Mosun Filani, Sheyi Ashekunand others. Life Secret was aired on African Magic for two years and it was also shown on syndication on over 15 local TV stations in Nigeria.

    Your story must have had a strong content, for it to have been aired on African Magic.

    I thank God for everything.

    Talking about your movies, how do you get inspiration?

    My inspiration comes from God almighty. He is my ultimate source of inspiration.

    How profitable is putting up movies online?

    If your content is worth the time, people will watch it. So if you have something fantastic to offer your audience, you will definitely make profit, just like what is obtainable in every other medium of film distribution. Making a movie available online is just one of the several ways a movie can be distributed.

    Do you agree that most Yoruba movies are not quality enough for the cinemas?

    Yoruba movies are the pioneers of cinema in Nigeria. Trust me, we have what it takes. Although only a few Yoruba movies are found at the cinemas in recent times, and that is because we are going through a lot of changes, but not to worry, we will be back to the cinemas in a big way.

    How expensive is it to produce a movie?

    It depends on the weight of your script and the size of your vision.

    What are the major involvements of movie marketers?

    Just like every other distribution channel available to filmmakers, Yoruba movie marketers are a group of investors in the business of film making and distribution in Nigeria. They distribute movies majorly on DVD.

    But with your experience with a marketer, would you still give your other works out to them?

    To me, no experience is bad. Experience is experience and it is meant to teach you something and yes, I am willing to do business with any movie marketer who is ready to do business with me.

    Would we say that is one of the reasons the industry is not growing?

    The industry is growing rapidly. We have more investors coming in; our contents are now more readily available to our audience around the globe. We are improving everyday and I am positive that in a couple of years, the Yoruba movie industry will be off da hook.

    The marketer owing you, is he willing to pay your outstanding money now?

    I have handed everything over to God almighty.

    It is said that ladies in the Yoruba industry envy each other. Is that true?

    That is not true. But if you are sure of what you are saying you can mention one Yoruba actress who you are certain envies another.

    Having been in the industry for over a decade, what are the changes you have observed?

    I thank God, today, a professional actress who started her career in the Yoruba movie sector can feature in an English movie without being crucified for it.

    Did you feel getting married to someone in your field will make your relationship stronger?

    I didn’t meet my husband in the industry. I met him during my youth service in Ibadan in 2008. My career had nothing to do with it. My husband is an actor and a film producer but he is more into the business side of filmmaking.

    Which international actor would you love to have in your movie?

    Female: Angelina Jolie, Whoppy Goldberg, male: Brad Pitt, Will Smith, Samuel O. Jackson and Tyler Perry.

    You really have a taste for professionals.

    As a movie producer, I get drawn to unique actors and actresses

    And are you working towards achieving this dream?

    With God, all things are possible

    Are there plans to take any of your movies to the cinemas?

    Yes by the special grace of God. I’m working on something beautiful for the cinema.
