How FG can enhance oil, gas resources for national development — Agbakoba
==========
Human Rights Lawyer and Senior Partner, Olisa Agbakoba Legal, Dr. Olisa Agbakoba SAN, has called on the Federal Government to adopt the "Development Oil" model to enhance the oil and gas resources for national development. He also called on President Bola Tinubu to inject an N100 trillion marshal plan into the economy. Agbakoba explained that the proposed "Development Oil" approach reimagines the role of oil and gas resources in national development, moving it beyond mere extraction and revenue sharing to leveraging assets as catalysts for comprehensive economic development. By adopting this new model, Nigeria will be able to transform its natural wealth into a powerful engine for sustainable development, improved infrastructure, and enhanced living standards for its citizens. He criticized the current oil and gas model in Nigeria, which he described as "Contract Oil", and called for a paradigm shift that would require bold policy changes, including the securitization of oil reserves through a Sovereign Oil Fund. He also called for a re-evaluation of existing agreements with IOCs that have effectively outsourced decision-making and control over Nigerian resources. Agbakoba said that the current exit of IOCs presents both a challenge and an opportunity for new Nigerian actors in the oil and gas sector to build a new strategy for exploration based on development oil principles. He called for an immediate overhaul of the current legal framework and the drafting of new legislation that aligns with the "Development Oil" approach. Additionally, he suggested that an N100 trillion marshal plan for Nigeria could be the catalyst for transformative change, but its success hinges on a fundamental shift in governance priorities. The oil and gas sector, as the most lucrative of Nigeria's 44 major natural resources, must be at the forefront of the transformation.

If Dangote too could cry out...!
==========
Aliko Dangote, Africa's richest man and Chairman of Dangote Group, expressed his lamentation over Nigeria's economic situation at a summit held in Abuja. He criticized Nigeria's monetary policy rate (MPR), stating that the high interest rate of 30% is stifling growth and preventing job creation. Dangote's comments echo those made by billionaire Tony Elumelu in 2022, who called on the government to address issues affecting Nigeria's oil production. Both Dangote and Elumelu are speaking out against the government's handling of the economy and are advocating for intentional action to improve the country's economic growth. Despite their wealth and success, they are concerned about the economic hardships faced by Nigerians and the country's reputation as the 'poverty capital of the world.' President Tinubu has formed the Presidential Economic Coordinating Council, which includes Dangote and Elumelu, in an effort to address these issues and bring about positive change. However, Nigerians are hopeful but waiting to see tangible results.

PRP to Tinubu: Halt presidential jets purchase

The Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) has called on President Bola Tinubu to halt the proposed purchase of presidential jets, citing the country's worst economic situation, galloping inflation rate, and neglect of workers' welfare.

The PRP demands that the government reconsider this wasteful expenditure and focus on delivering tangible benefits to the Nigerian people.

Adebayo also criticizes Atiku Abubakar for recommending the Argentina model, citing the economic misery and hyperinflation in Argentina. He believes that the current economic challenges in Nigeria were caused by the removal of fuel subsidy and lack of auditing. Adebayo suggests that if he were president, he would not announce these policies and would convince Nigerians and the government that they are not right. He proposes five measures to stop the bleeding of the economy, including increasing revenue, restructuring government spending, and controlling inflation. Adebayo believes that anyone determined to fix Nigeria and willing to listen to Nigerians can succeed, but President Tinubu's wrong policies need to change.
