Finally, Presidency Provides Details of Refunds to the Niger Delta

Paschal Emeka, Abuja

As discontent increased in various states of the Niger Delta over allegations that some government officials misused the oil derivation refunds in the region, the Presidency on Friday released more details of oil derivation refunds made to the states.

According to a statement by Garba Shehu, the presidential Spokesperson, Akwa Ibom, and Delta states received the most significant chunk of the refunds from the Federal Government.

Shehu revealed that the nine oil-producing states got a total of N625.43 billion comprising 13 percent oil derivation, subsidy, and SURE-P refunds from the Federation Account between 2021 and 2022.

He said the date of the refund was from 1999 to 2021.

Remember that Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State had showered praise on President Muhammadu Buhari for releasing the 13 percent oil derivation to the Niger Delta states.

Wike further said he spent the funds on multi-billion projects in his state, challenging his colleagues to explain how they used theirs.

Wike’s revelation, however, generated a lot of controversies as many Nigerians raised questions on how governors from the oil-producing states utilized the funds in their respective states.

Part of the statement by Shehu read: “According to the figures, under the 13 percent derivation fund on withdrawal from ECA without deducting derivation from 2004 to 2019, Abia State received N4.8 billion with an outstanding sum of N2.8 billion, Akwa-Ibom received N128 billion with an exceptional sum of N77 billion, Bayelsa with N92.2 billion, leaving an outstanding of N55 billion.

“Cross River got a refund of N1.3 billion with a balance of N792 million, Delta State received N110 billion, leaving a balance of N66.2 billion, Edo State received N11.3billion, with a balance of N6.8billion, Imo State, N5.5 billion, with an outstanding sum of N3.3 billion, Ondo State, N19.4 billion with an outstanding sum of N11.7bn while Rivers State was paid 103.6 billion, with an outstanding balance of N62.3 billion.”

The statement shows that states were further paid in eight installments between the months of October 2021 and January 2022.

“Under this category, Abia State received N1.1 billion; Akwa-Ibom, N15 billion; Bayelsa, N11.6 billion; Cross River, N432 million; Delta State, N14.8 billion; Edo State, N2.2 billion; Imo State, N2.9, billion; Ondo State, N3.7 billion, and Rivers State, N12.8 billion.”

  2. For the EON Productions film adaptation of Casino Royale, the Casino’s location has been changed
    to Montenegro. There had been a casino at Royale (as the town was formerly named) since the 19th century.
    A very different version of Casino Royale also appeared in the non-EON 1967 spoof film of the same name.
    You might recognise the hotel’s grand lobby as the site of the disastrous operation at the
    beginning of Brian de Palma’s Mission Impossible. ▶ Bond
    and Vesper head to Venice, sailing their yacht along
    the Canal Grande between the Accademia and Rialto bridges.

    It’s Villa del Balbianello, near the village of Lenno,
    about 15 miles north of Como on Lake Como’s western shore.

    However, he is interrupted by the arrival of an agent from SMERSH, the Soviet
    agency in charge of dealing with wayward operatives, and the man kills Le Chiffre.

    Leiter sends over an envelope containing 32 million francs, and Bond bets
    it all. Although Bond wins at first, his luck
    changes, and soon his money is gone. Later he meets Felix Leiter,
    an American CIA agent also working on the case.
    Upon its release in the United Kingdom, Casino Royale broke series records on both opening day—£1.7 million—and opening weekend—£13,
    370,969. The mainland Chinese cut of the film also trims the torture scene and the stairway fight, as well as a shot of Bond
    cleaning his wound at the hotel, and a boat scene. As well as features present from the 2007 release, the collector’s
    edition contains an audio commentary, deleted scenes,
    featurettes and a storyboard-to-film comparison. Casino Royale has earned approximately $11.7 million in China since
    its opening on 30 January on 468 screens, including a record opening weekend collection for a non-Chinese film, with $1.5 million.

  3. In their devastating Week 16 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers,
    with their season on the line, the Lions started former undrafted rookie Kingsley Eguakun at center with
    Glasgow out. The offense has been better with Campbell calling plays than it was with Morton calling plays, but still not up to
    the level it was when Johnson was running plays.
    Before they can put the pieces back together, the
    2025 Lions will finish their season at Chicago next weekend (date and time to be determined) for
    a season-ending battle with Ben Johnson’s first-place Bears.
    Detroit’s eight second-half drives lasted an average of
    4.3 plays, in part because of the turnovers, but also because Detroit couldn’t move the ball
    even when it wasn’t being taken away. It sucks,” said offensive tackle Dan Skipper, who started in place of Decker. Wide receiver Jordan Addison took an end-around on second-and-10 and raced up the sideline for a 65-yard touchdown that effectively finished the Lions’ season.
    Thursday’s game was merely an encore, the cherry on top of a season in which the Lions simply never solved their offensive line’s inconsistencies. Highlights and game-by-game analysis from the Detroit Lions’ thrilling overtime win over the New York Giants. The Vikings would add a field goal to make the final score Vikings. On the first play of the quarter, the Lions committed their fifth turnover of the season—Goff got strip-sacked, and it was recovered by the Vikings.
