THE Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited has again proven to be a monumental failure and a national embarrassment. After several denials and no more room to manoeuvre given the prolonged petrol scarcity, it has now admitted to owing international oil traders for petrol cargoes. It is absurd that a company that declared a net profit

Abbo gives woman 3 days to retract sexual offence allegation
Senator Elisha Ishaku Abbo, who represented Adamawa North in the Senate between 2019 and 2023 and was recently accused of a sexual offense, has given the accuser three days to retract the accusation and apologize to him.
A video had surfaced earlier this month showing a woman in a romp with a man whose face was hidden, after which the woman, Wange Minso, alleged that the hidden face was that of Abbo.
In a cease and desist letter addressed to the woman and routed through his counsel, M.J. Numa & Partners LLP, Abbo is demanding the “accuser to retract her allegations on national television and in the national dailies that initially published the claims.”
The firm asks the accuser to act accordingly, or it would initiate legal proceedings to demand damages in favour of Abbo.
The ultimatum, issued on September 12, 2024, and sighted by DAILY POST Wednesday morning, is the latest development in the controversy surrounding Abbo.
While the woman in the video said the video was released by Abbo because he got angry with her over something she did, Abbo alleged that the woman fingered him as the hidden face in the video because his political opponents were using her against him.
Abbo’s counsel, M.J. Numa & Partners LLP, which describes the allegations against Abbo as “false, malicious, and defamatory,” and causing “irreparable damage” to the senator’s reputation, said Abbo is considering legal action because he cannot fail to act while his reputation is being tarnished.

Nigerian Govt prepares Kiri Dam for electricity generation
The Federal Government is preparing the Kiri Dam in Adamawa State for electricity generation.
The dam, located in Shelleng, is a major water reservoir which currently provides the water for the irrigation of the cane plantation of the Dangote Sugar Refinery in Numan.
Indications emerged on Friday that the Federal Government has begun moves to ensure the utilization of the dam to generate electricity. The move is in line with a bid to expand the sources of electricity for the country’s economy
During a facility tour of the dam to ascertain its integrity, the Director of Dams and Reservoir Operations of the Federal Ministry of Water Resources and Sanitation, Ali Dalla, said the government has started a retrofitting exercise to update the dam for the purpose of power generation.
“We have found out that the dam is capable of generating electricity. By the time the study is completed, further information will be revealed about the capacity of the power to be generated,” Ali Dalla said.
Dalla, expressing optimism in the integrity of the dam, said even after more than 40 years in existence, the dam is still in good shape.
“We are here in continuation of our visit to dams in Nigeria. The essence of the visit is to see its physical condition in order for us to ascertain its health and to avert recurrence of similar flood that happens in Alau Dam in Borno State,” he explained.
Still on the Kiri Dam, the water resources engineer said, “I can vouch for the integrity of this dam from the physical inspection that we have carried out.
“Establishing the integrity of any dam does not just stop at the physical inspection, it includes the internal examination of dam using some parameters. We have not done that but we can tell you without any fear that this dam is in good shape.”
