Real-Life-Issues With Efanga Etim

The PIA by providing for the establishment of the Host Community Development Trust ( HCDT), has shown an intention for sustainable community development.

The concept of the HCDT is not novel to the petroleum industry in Nigeria, the Global Memorandums of Understanding (GMOU) which international companies (IOC) use to execute projects to meet up with their corporate social responsibilities in host communities is a similar initiative, however, the PIA has loopholes that may be detrimental to the peace and well-being of oil communities

Talk about

How some communities use to get 10% and now it has been changed to 3%

The modalities of choosing a board of trustees

How the PIA transfers the responsibility of petroleum infrastructural security to the community.

Mention other shortcomings

N617 Petrol: Crazy survival strategies as hard times bite harder

Following the worsening effects of the removal of petrol subsidy, Nigerians have embraced several ingenious and sometimes crazy measures to survive.

For a people already impoverished during the immediate past administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari, the development has further deepened their situation, thereby making everyone adopt survival strategies.

The policy, which saw the petrol price rise from N160 to N510 on May 29, 2023, resulted in an increment in prices of goods and services in a nation already battling 22.77 percent inflation.

Apart from depleting the purchasing power of the people, the country’s currency, which lost more than 200 percent of its value in the eight years of Buhari, has lost whatever is left of it.

Consequently, people now struggle to finance their basic needs given that prices have escalated more.

Food items, transportation, drugs and essential products among others have become unaffordable owing to the impact of petrol prices.

This is happening as income remains static, with N30,000 Minimum Wage and 37.7 percent unemployment rate, according to KPMG.

Across the states, some governors struggle to pay the Minimum Wage while others owe several months of salaries and pension arrears.

With the turn of events, the wage payable to the least paid federal civil servant could barely buy 50 liters of Premium Motor Spirit, PMS, otherwise called petrol.

Tinubu and Shettima, through their counsel, Mr Wole Olanipekun (SAN) in his final written address against the petition of Obi and LP, described the arguments and testimonies of witnesses presented by the challengers as “frivolous, bogus and based on hearsay.”

In his written address, he urged the court to dismiss the petition as totally lacking in merit, substance and bona fide.

He argued that the “remote” contention of the petitioners that his client’s election should be cancelled for not scoring 25 percent or one-quarter of the votes recorded in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) is not backed by any fact known to the law as the use of “and” in the constitution is conjunctive and not disjunctive.

He argued, “This case clearly cries to high heavens in vain to be fed with relevant and admissible evidence.

“The appellant woefully failed to realise that judges do not act like the oracles of life, which is often engaged in crystal gazing and thereafter would proclaim a new Oba in succession to a deceased Oba.

“Judges cannot perform miracles in the handling of civil claims, and at least of all manufacture evidence for the purpose of assisting a plaintiff win his case.”
