Oil marketers panic over fresh subsidy report

ABUJA—The new report on fuel subsidy utilisation by the Aigboje Aig-Imokhuede Committee is creating panic among petroleum products marketers, industry sources have revealed.

The report, which was submitted to the Presidency last Friday, as learnt, was based on a pain-staking forensic examination of all claims made by the marketers and receipts, which had indicted several major oil marketing companies.

Industry sources said the report recommended that those found to have received payments for products they did not import be made to refund such money in addition to being blacklisted by the Petroleum Products Pricing Regulatory Agency, PPPRA.

Although the Presidency is said to be keeping the report secretely, it was learnt that many of the oil companies approved by PPPRA for the third quarter fuel import were indicted in the report, for bogus claims.

Sources said unscrupulous marketers had heaved a sigh of relief when the Chairman of the House of Representatives Ad-hoc Committee on Subsidy, Farouk Lawan, ran into trouble over the alleged $3 million bribe.

But with the Aig-Imoukhuede report, the marketers, it was learnt, knew there would be fresh trouble for them.

The Federal Government had sacked the two accounting firms that audited the marketers’ claims before payment, for doing very poor jobs. They were Akintola Williams & Co and Adekanola & Co.

Snoop Lion Excommunicated From The Rastafari Community

Snoop Lion excommunicated from the Rastafari Community, according to Bunny Wailer! Bunny has always had his doubts about Snoop Lion ‘s intent and now his skepticism has taken an even stronger stance, that of excommunication. The news was broken via his Facebook profile and via press release . Recently Snoop Lion has struggled to convince the Rastafari and Reggae community that he is sincere about his profession of, and transition to the faith, principles and beliefs of Rastafari. Most doubtful is Bunny Wailer the only living member of the original Wailer. ‘ Excommunication is a religious censure used to deprive, suspend, or limit membership in a religious community or to restrict certain rights within it.
