Ensure transparency in managing revenue from 15% import duty on petrol – CRVN to Tinubu

The Conference of Registered Voters in Nigeria, CRVN, has described President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s approval of a 15 percent import duty on petrol and diesel as a win-win policy that will transform Nigeria’s petroleum sector, protect local investments, and advance the nation’s drive toward energy independence.

In a statement issued on Saturday, the group’s National President, Dr Ebikeme Edesiri, commended President Tinubu for his bold and strategic approach to economic reform, saying the policy demonstrates foresight and genuine commitment to building a resilient domestic economy.

Edesiri noted that the decision is not punitive but protective, designed to shield Nigeria’s refining industry from unfair competition, promote job security, and strengthen investor confidence.

“This policy is a win-win for government, industry, and the people. By curbing the influx of cheap imported fuel, we will be protecting the huge investments made in domestic refining. It is a practical step toward energy independence and national pride,” the statement reads.

The CRVN further explained that the policy would attract more investors to the energy sector, create employment opportunities, strengthen the naira, and boost government revenue for national development.

Dr Edesiri said the measure aligns with President Tinubu’s broader economic reform agenda, which includes the removal of fuel subsidies, the unification of the exchange rate, and the diversification of non-oil revenue sources, aimed at positioning Nigeria for sustainable growth.

“Each of these reforms reflects a consistent and visionary economic direction. President Tinubu is not playing politics with policy; he is making tough but necessary decisions that will secure Nigeria’s economic future,” Edesiri stated.

The group urged the federal government to ensure transparency in the management of revenue generated from the import duty and channel the funds toward critical infrastructure, including roads, power, and healthcare.

The CRVN also appealed to Nigerians to remain patient and supportive of the reforms, emphasizing that no nation achieves self-sufficiency overnight.

“What we are witnessing is a deliberate rebuilding of our economy from within. It requires the cooperation of every Nigerian,” the group admonished.

Edesiri concluded by describing the import duty as an act of national renewal, reaffirming CRVN’s confidence in President Tinubu’s leadership and his vision of economic independence.

“This 15 percent import duty will protect Nigerian refineries, stimulate growth, and secure jobs. We stand solidly behind the President and his reform agenda that brings development closer to the common man,” he added.

FG Rejects Trump’s Designation of Nigeria as ‘Country of Particular Concern’

Michael Olugbode in Abuja

The Federal Government has rejected President Donald Trump designation of Nigeria as a “Country of Particular Concern”.

The government said these claims do not reflect the situation on the ground.

A statement by the Spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Kimiebi Ebienfa, explained that Nigerians of all faiths have long lived, worked, and worshipped together peacefully.

He stressed that the President Bola Tinubu administration remains committed to fighting terrorism, strengthening interfaith harmony, and protecting the lives and rights of all its people.

Ebienfa said the country will continue to engage constructively with the Government of the United States, with the essence to deepen mutual understanding of regional dynamics and the country’s ongoing peace and security efforts.

The statement read: “The Federal Government of Nigeria notes the recent remarks by U.S. President Donald J. Trump alleging large-scale killings of Christians in Nigeria and calling for the country’s designation as a “Country of Particular Concern.”

“While Nigeria appreciates global concern for human rights and religious freedom, these claims do not reflect the situation on the ground. Nigerians of all faiths have long lived, worked, and worshipped together peacefully.

“Under the leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Nigeria remains committed to fighting terrorism, strengthening interfaith harmony, and protecting the lives and rights of all its people.

“Nigeria will continue to engage constructively with the Government of the United States to deepen mutual understanding of regional dynamics and the country’s ongoing peace and security efforts.”

NDDC Boss Dissociates Self from Reports Attributing Purported Arrest to Gov Diri

NDDC Boss Dissociates Self from Reports Attributing Purported Arrest to Gov Diri

Blessing Ibunge in Port Harcourt 

The Managing Director of Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), Dr. Samuel Ogbuku, has dissociated himself from a recent report in the media attributing his rumoured arrest to the Bayelsa State Governor, Senator Douye Diri.

In a statement signed by his Senior Advocate on Media, Willie Etim, the NDDC boss condemned in very strong terms the news report attributed to a former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Ogbuku further condemned the alleged report which insinuated a rift between himself and the governor, and cautioned that there is no rivalry in the APC family in Bayelsa State.

“It is also important to clarify that any comments or opinions expressed by anyone on political matters in Bayelsa State should be regarded strictly as their personal views and not as a representation of the views or position of Dr. Ogbuku.

“The attempt to link the governor to political controversies or rumours of arrest is both misleading, mischievous and unnecessary,” Etim stated.

The statement added, “We want to use this medium to express our sincere apology for any embarrassment the publications may have caused the governor and call on all party faithful to exercise restraint in public commentary, especially when such remarks could mislead the public or misrepresent facts.”
