Nigerian Government signs agreement to import fuel from Niger Republic

 


The Nigerian government, through the ministry of petroleum resources, has signed a memorandum of understanding with the government of Niger Republic for the importation of petroleum products.

 

According to a statement released by the ministry of petroleum resources, Soraz Refinery in Zinder, Niger Republic, has an installed refining capacity of 20,000 barrels per day compared to the nation’s 5,000bpd domestic requirement. This leaves a surplus of 15,000 barrels per day.

 

Mele Kyari, group managing director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), signed the MoU on behalf of Nigeria while Alio Toune, director-general of Niger Republic’s National Oil Company, Societe Nigerienne De Petrole (SONIDEP), signed on behalf of Niger Republic.

 

The signing was witnessed by the ministers of state for petroleum of the two countries, Timipre Sylva for Nigeria and Foumakoye Gado for Niger Republic.

 

"This is a major step forward. The Niger Republic has some excess products which need to be evacuated. Nigeria has the market for these products. Therefore, this is going to be a win-win relationship for both countries," Sylva said.

 

"My hope is that this is going to be the beginning of deepening trade relations between Niger Republic and Nigeria."

 

In his remarks, Mele Kyari said Nigeria and Niger Republic have had long engagements in the last four to five months with a view to restoring the importation of petroleum products (excess production) from Niger into Nigeria.

 

He said: "With this development, we hope to have a long-lasting and sustainable commercial framework to have a pipeline from the Soraz Refinery in Zinder (Niger) into the most proximate Nigerian city so that we can develop a depot.

 

"We are happy that we have reached that conclusion and our two ministers have endorsed this framework. We are also working on a detailed MoU between our two companies so that we can continue the execution process immediately."

 

Nigeria currently imports refined petroleum products despite having four refineries.

Videos show Donald Trump 'struggling to breathe' as he returns to White House following COVID-19 diagnosis



 Donald Trump is back at the White House after spending just three days in the Walter Reed Medical Center following COVID-19 diagnosis. 

 

Recall the president announced last Friday that he and first lady Melania Trump tested positive for Coronavirus after Hope Hicks, one of his closest senior advisers was diagnosed with the virus. 

 

On Monday night, the president, 74, arrived at the White House and immediately took off his mask before doing a photo opp at the balcony to salute the Marine One helicopter as it departed. 

 

As he stood at the balcony, Trump appeared to be struggling to breathe and looking like he was in pain. 

 

Shortly afterwards, he posted a video on his Twitter urging Americans to not be afraid of Coronavirus. 

 

 

However, many on Twitter have raised concerns over the current state of the President as they believe his condition is worse than he wants the public to believe.

 

Trump looks like he is gasping for air,” Twitter user @brenonade wrote with a clip. In another tweet, he wrote, “Trump appears to be wincing in pain while he breathes.”

 

Someone on Twitter replied, “When I had Covid and walked up stairs I felt like I was going to die. He is definitely gasping for breath. And trying to hold in a cough which will make the breathing worse.”

 

A doctor replied, “That’s what we call increased work of breathing in the ICU (notice heaving chest movement). When I was a soldier in the Army, we called that sucking air. Dude is going to collapse in short order.”

Victor Osimhen 'turned down Manchester United transfer before joining Napoli because he didn't want to compete with Odion Ighalo,' his brother reveals


  • Victor Osimhen's brother has revealed he turned down a potential move to Manchester United before joining Napoli for £54million. 

The 21-year-old promising striker moved to the Italian club from Lille earlier this summer in the big-money deal, which made him Nigeria's most expensive player.  

Speaking in a new interview with Complete Sports, his brother, Andrew Osimhen disclosed that United were interested in signing him, but since his fellow Nigerian Odion Ighalo is already at Old Trafford, Victor decided not to make the move out of respect. 

'It is very true that Manchester United wanted Victor but he told me something like he had too much respect for Odion Ighalo to be competing for shirts with his senior colleague,' Andrew said.

'My brother holds Ighalo in high esteem and he just didn't see himself going to Old Trafford to battle for a striking role with the highest goalscorer at the 2019 AFCON in Egypt.'

Ighalo joined United on loan from Shanghai Shenhua in January and his deal with the club has been extended until the next year. 

Osimhen was linked with a number of Premier League clubs but ended up joining Napoli.

Teenage Covid-19 patient 'is raped by an ambulance driver while being taken to hospital' in India

A 19-year-old girl was allegedly raped by an ambulance driver on her way to the hospital after she tested positive for COVID-19. 

The teenage girl was reportedly attacked by a man known as V Noufal, 29, while on their way to the Firstline Covid Treatment Centre in Pathanamthitta district of Kerala, India, on Saturday night, September 5.

Noufal was arrested on Sunday morning September 6, after the victim told a staff of the hospital about the alleged incident when she arrived in Pandalam. 

After his arrest, Police said he had not obtained the mandatory clearance certificate before joining as a driver.

Health Minister KK Shailaja described the attack in Kerala as 'shocking' and 'inhuman'. 

A health department official told The Indian Express that the driver is usually sent alone to a particular locality to pick up patients to limit the exposure of health workers. 

The official said: 'The driver’s chamber is partitioned and no other staff or nurse accompanies the driver while ferrying patients to hospital. 

'This is to limit the exposure of health workers to infected persons. In rare cases, if the patient is serious, we send a nurse. In this case, both patients were stable.' 

The attack is the latest in a series of high profile sexual offenses in India. Last week, a three-year-old girl was raped and strangled in the Lakhimpur Kher district, of Uttar Pradesh.
