There is an awakening sweeping through many parts of our world and questions are arising in the minds of a great many. Many are perplexed that world leaders have not been able bring about an end to the Russia-Ukraine war. It is believed that with the emergence of hawkish Donald Trump, the war in the Middle-East would be further muddled up. The increasing spate of sudden deaths everywhere is self-evident. War is never a picnic anywhere. Consider the mindless killings and devastations, the shocking and frightening destruction of properties, and the endless columns of displaced people heading to nowhere in particular, seeking refuge and humanitarian help to continue living. Rather than abating, the wars both in Ukraine and Gaza are escalating, and the end is not in sight in all the theatres of war, including Sudan not too far from Nigeria, indeed literally speaking, just across our corridor!

Many are dazed that that despite his impeachments and convictions in court, Trump still emerged winner in the race to the White House. He cannot even wait until January before flexing muscles and baring his fangs. According to Stephen Collinson of CNN, “President-elect Donald Trump is already flexing raw power, showing he may try to subvert Washington’s checks and balances and leaving foreign leaders scrambling to come to terms with his victory. Early signs from Mar-a- Lago, the Florida club and estate where trump is building his new administration, suggest that when he moves back into the White House in January bolstered by a thumping win and a democratic mandate, he will act with maximum force.”

To push his plans for mass deportations, CNN Collinson says: “In a move that recalled the late-night drama of his first term, Trump posted on Truth Social shortly before midnight that he had named Tom Homan, the former acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement and an advocate of Trump’s plans for mass deportations, as border czar.” The most prominent face today in the world’s public space and consciousness is Mr. Trump.

I have also been asked: “Sir, why do the Jews still not accept Jesus Christ as the physical incarnation that was foretold?” For how much longer is our world going to continue like this? That is the next logical question. Is it the decline into the vortex of darkness the world has fallen into that the Americans have thrown up Mr. Trump in the belief that he will make America great again? The decline may have triggered an awakening with the Americans sensing some emptiness in their souls. There is prosperity quite alright with many in an appreciable degree of wellbeing. There is a sensing of something indefinable yet in their souls which is driving them to seek albeit in the dark alley. There is this yearning to fill a void. Their experiences under the oppressive rule of crumbling materialism have touched them deep within as to crack them open and demand for a government they believe would lead them back to God from Whom they had strayed and estranged themselves; the Holy Light that they had banished from their lives—their homes and schools. They demand the return of the Holy Will in the running of the affairs of their government. They want prayers back in their schools, attributing soullessness and decline in their values to “banishment of God” from their daily living. They made this a condition for voting and deciding who their political leader would be to avert what they sensed was an inexorable march in the direction of Armageddon.

An elected leader rises through the ranks of the electorate. He is their mirror, who has packed into himself their strengths and weaknesses, more of the latter in these times of purification in whom they will find the leader at their sins. As their whip and the whip of the world with everyone experiencing their nakedness and emptiness of souls, there may in genuineness arise a seeking of the face of the Lord. In other words, loathsome as Trump may appear in “making America great again” the world waiting in bated breath will be forced to go into deep contemplation: Who am I? Why am I passing through this vale of matter in these times? A return to serve the Holy Will must undoubtedly mean Holy Victory for the Light! I am only thinking aloud, after all true leaders are not electable; they are born not made, sent not electable. But you ward off like with like! I am just reflecting! Pam Wasserman says in ‘World Population by Religion: A Global Tapestry of Faith’: “Today, some 85 percent of people around the globe identify with a religion.”
Wasserman adds, “The United States is home to the largest Christian population (11.3% of the world total), followed by Brazil (8%), and Mexico (5%)…The countries with the largest proportions of the world’s Muslim population are Indonesia (13.1%), India (11%), Pakistan (10.5%), and Bangladesh (8.4%). He gives exhaustive demographics of practically all the religions of the world!

It is a measure of the decline in this crucial Age that, as it would seem, the world cannot boast of a considerable number of eminent persons, of considerable standing and respect who could as a group wade into the Russia-Ukraine war as well as the war in Gaza since the United Nations Assembly is widely regarded as no more than a talking shop, and some other regional groups such as NATO are partisan. The Non-Aligned Nations are aloof!

Mankind has reached the end of its wits. It must seek knowledge, seek the knowledge that answers all questions of life and existence and take giant strides out of the present chaos and confusion in several parts of the globe.

THE JEWS AND THE MESSIAH
The question I received following the series on The Steps of Recognition is: Why do the Jews still not accept Jesus Christ as the physical incarnation that was foretold?

It was and still is because they had a different expectation and image of the Messiah. In appearance the Lord Jesus looked like any other person on the street. There was nothing extra-ordinary about him. Out of ignorance, however, they expected an extra-ordinary person in appearance and one who is not restrained by any laws and impossibilities, one who could appear and disappear as he might deem fit and so wish; a man who could fly in the air or jump down from a tree without sustaining injuries. Was He not mocked while hanging on the cross in excruciating agony by His traducers: “Those who passed by were yelling insults at Him, shaking their heads and saying, ‘The One who would demolish the sanctuary and rebuild it in three days, save Yourself! If Thou art the Son of God, come down from the cross!”In the same way the chief priests, with scribes and elders, mocked Him and said, ‘He saved others, but He cannot save Himself! He is the King of Israel! Let Him come down now from the cross, and we will believe in Him. He has put His trust in God: let God rescue Him now—if He wants Him!’” (Matthew 27: 39-43).

The Lord did not show outwardly any striking difference from any other man. In his childhood years he displayed nothing extra-ordinary He was natural like any child. So people passed Him by in false expectation, dreaming of a different fulfillment. They did not know that anyone who would live on earth, in accordance with the immutable Law of the Most High God, regardless of the Realm the person may be coming from, must take on the earthly body. He would have to be born and undergo the normal and sequential processes of growing and development. Indeed, if the Lord Jesus were to appear today and stand at Martins Street, Lagos, many would pass Him by without recognizing Who He is.

The material cloak more referred to as earthly body by which a man is identified is fashioned in the womb of his mother by nature beings from the food the expectant mother eats, from plants, legumes or meat as the case may be. It is the food doctors or midwives prescribe for any would-be mother. The body is fashioned before the soul incarnates in it. The soul takes possession of the womb when the pregnancy has gone half-way. When the soul enters the expectant mother experiences the first kick. From then on the woman begins to glow. This is because the woman is inhabited now by two souls, her own and that of the incarnating soul. This entry of the soul is usually in the fifth month of the pregnancy.

Therefore, since even the Divine being piloted into the womb of Mary is subject to the eternal and unchanging Laws of God that permits of no exception the Lord Jesus had to don the earthly garment of the body and he showed no striking difference from any other person in Nazareth or Jerusalem! So, as it was and still is with every entry of a soul into an expectant mother’s womb, so was it with Jesus Christ. Didn’t the Lord Himself say He had not come to abolish the laws but to fulfill them? Of course, it is expected that the Real Being, what constituted His Core coming from the Heights, He was piloted by a very High Being and accompanied by Angels, and there was rejoicing in the firmament. The Angels that came were with Him for 40 days before they returned to their Realm.

What I am getting at is that the Jews could not distinguish the Divine Core of the Lord Jesus from the core of a human being which is spiritual. The point of origin of man is the Spiritual Realm more generally referred to as Paradise, but that of Christ is even beyond the Divine Realm. The Divine Realm and the Throne of Grace, the Abode of God the Father, are separated by an ocean of flames that only Christ and the Holy Spirit, both being Parts of the Father as His Sons, can cross.

The second reason why the Jews did not accept the Lord Christ was that they had the mistaken belief that the prophesied Messiah was going to be a mighty hero who would sweep away the yoke of the Roman dominion, power and influence over Israel, and halt taxes being paid to Rome. The hero Messiah would lead Israel to power and influence, and indeed lead them in war against Rome. Judas in fact had a deal with the Resistant Movement to get the Lord involved in insurrection during Passover Festival when a lot of pilgrims would come to Jerusalem. But instead of rebellion, the Lord Christ preached that they should love their enemies as themselves and pray for them. The feverish, imminent expectation of this strong saviour that would bring about a turning point in the lives of the Jews was often intermingled with apocalyptic expectations.

However, being from the Highest Heights, from the Luminous Heights, the Son of God came to this world only in order to draw the attention of mankind, beginning with the Jews, to their wrong ways of living to show them the way out of their self-inflicted entanglements. He came to show mankind the only way leading upwards which He did through His Teachings and exemplary conduct. He had no understanding of futile, fleeting earthly desires as national pride, political influence or the craving for power. According to the enlightenment of these times, He had nothing but sharp words of rejection for sham religion that clings to formalities. He had severely criticized hypocrisy and errors and branded them for what they were.

So the Jews began to ask themselves if really this was the Messiah they were promised and were expecting. For them He certainly was not! Their unbelief was such that when the Lord was ready to begin His Mission the memory of the Holy Night and the Radiant Star had faded from even His earthly parents. Hence, His calls to awaken hardly found any response. Indeed, it was when Joseph, who had been the best of an earthly father and friend, was on his deathbed that the bandage fell from his eyes and he saw in his last moments the Cross radiating behind Christ Jesus and the Dove above His head and deeply stirring were his last words: “So, thou art He after all!” The Lord Jesus stood alone by his deathbed. As for Mary, motherly anxieties over her Son taking on the political and priestly establishments beclouded her clear and full recognition. All regarded the Lord as troublesome! Mary fought an inner battle with her doubts right up to the grievous walk to Golgotha. Only there did recognition of His Mission and with it belief, finally come to her.

In Bethany when the Lord raised Lazarus from the dead, it caused so much sensation and uproar that in nearby Jerusalem, the Great Sanhedrin, the supreme court, met for an urgent and special session to discuss the situation that had arisen from it: “What do we? For this man doeth many miracles. If we let him thus alone, all men will believe on him: and the Romans shall come and take away both our place and nation” (John 11, 47-48). Caiaphas, who was the High Priest and President, swept aside any last hesitations in dealing with the Lord. He succeeded in convincing his colleagues that now at last the “troublesome and dangerous” Nazarene must be done away with. Referring to Paragraph 82 of the penal code, he said: “Even the execution of an innocent person can serve in the maintenance of law and order, and the salvation and order, and the salvation of God’s people.” He went on: “It is expedient for us that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not.” (John 11: 50).

They invoked many sections of their penal code to entrap the Lord and get rid of Him. They referred to Him as pseudo-prophet who seeks by means of visions, illusions, false oracles, magic, exorcism, hallucinations or genuine miracles to seduce Israel to apostasy. A section says alarmingly that the president of the Great Sanhedrin has the right in exceptional cases to pass over any obstructive regulations in order to put a swift and radical end to apostasy.

I have gone this far to show that the Jews did not recognize the Lord Jesus as the expected Messiah. The non-recognition persists up till this day. It is a carry over. And they are still expecting the Messiah till today. These were a people who had been carefully prepared for their very high tasks, to recognize Him and among whom He lived—in their midst, how much less the subsequent generations that only read about Him.

But events now and in years to come, given the intensified and accelerated purification going on in several parts of the world which may also have led to the emergence of Donald Trump, they will be brought down on their knees to supplicate the Most High, the Throne of Grace, for help! It is then they will come to recognition. The Power of the Lord already anchored in Israel more than 2,000 years ago is still intact and living. It is being supplemented and driven by the Rays of the Power of the Holy Spirit to bring about total purification in that land. It is then they, nay, the world in general, will recognize, shout and hail Jesus as the Lord and Light. It is the same anchored power which those open in their midst tap which makes Israel arguably the most technologically powerful nation in the world. Lock up an average Jew, he will come out the following day with a bomber!

KEMI BADENOCH AND CRITICS
Some Nigerians have descended very heavily on Kemi Badenoch, the new Leader of Opposition in the United Kingdom, over her comments on Nigeria. The vehemence and venom in the tone of some of the criticisms astonish me. And I wonder what she said that Nigerians have not exhibited or proven her right many times over. They have done worse, stealing the country blind. How many Nigerians are in jail houses in Asian countries over drug-related offences! President Obasanjo himself has just said many things in far away the United States. As a retired Nigerian Ambassador said to me, no one has gone into Kemi Badenoch arguments and punctured nor denied her claims. The umbrage is that she said what she said, coming from a rising figure of Nigerian descent for that matter! They are not prepared to allow her mature into her high tasks!!

The question is: Do you break a mirror held to your face because you don’t like what you are seeing?

President Bola Tinubu has sent a letter to the Senate seeking confirmation of Lieutenant General Olufemi Olatubosun Oluyede's appointment as the substantive Chief of Army Staff.

President Tinubu also despatched a similar letter to the House of Representatives.

In the letters addressed today to both the Senate President Godswill Akpabio and Speaker of the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas, President Tinubu seeks Oluyede’s confirmation in accordance with the provision of Section 218(2) of the 1999 Constitution as amended and Section 18(1) of the Armed Forces Act.

President Tinubu appointed Oluyede as the Acting Chief of Army Staff on October 30 following the illness of Lieutenant General Taoreed Lagbaja.

General Lagbaja, however, died on 5 November.

President Tinubu is confident about the leadership qualities, professional integrity, and experience of Lt. General Oluyede to lead and inspire the army to ensure national security and stability.

Before he was appointed Acting Chief of Army Staff, Oluyede, a member of the 39th Regular Course, like his predecessor, served as the 56th Commander of the elite Infantry Corps of the Nigerian Army, based in Jaji, Kaduna.

He was commissioned a second lieutenant in 1992, effective from 1987. He rose to Major-General in September 2020.

Since his commissioning as an officer, Oluyede has held many command positions. He was Platoon Commander and adjutant at 65 Battalion, Company Commander at 177 Guards Battalion, Staff Officer in the Guards Brigade, and Commandant of the Amphibious Training School.

General Oluyede participated in several operations, including the Economic Community of West African States Monitoring Group (ECOMOG) Mission in Liberia, Operation HARMONY IV in Bakassi, and Operation HADIN KAI in the North East theatre of operations, where he commanded 27 Task Force Brigade.

For his meritorious service in various fields of operations, he has earned many honours, including the Corps Medal of Honour, the Grand Service Star, Passing the Staff Course, and Membership in the National Institute.

Others are the Field Command Medal, the Field Command Medal of Honour, and the Field Training Medal.

Oluyede also received the coveted Chief of Army Staff Commendation Award.

He is married and has three children.

President Bola Tinubu says his administration’s renewed focus in driving international and local investments into livestock sector of the agricultural value-chain will end the crisis of farmer-herder clashes and promote economic prosperity.

The President also agreed that there is hunger in the land, but said hope is on the way with his administration’s commitment in developing the sector.

Speaking in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil at the signing of a Letter of Intent between the Nigerian Government and the JBS S.A, one of the top three largest meat processing companies globally, President Tinubu said the livestock investment opportunities in Nigeria is worth over $2.5billion.

He said the agreement will be solving a “problem that afflicted humanity in that part of Africa, clashes between farmers and migrating cows that have caused some life and bloodshed when there is a modern, civilized way to solve the problem and even bring a successful economy out of it.

“We are trying to turn a situation of tragedy, hopelessness into economic opportunity, see through problems and see the opportunity that is involved in it.

“Food security is extremely important. As we talk right now, there is hunger. However, there is huge hope. And you are one of those hopes that we are looking at.”

President Tinubu told the JBS top executives that Nigeria is ready to do business with them, assuring them of a good return on their investment.

Wesley Batista, founder and President of the JBS group, said the company is the largest employer of labour in Brazil with over $79 billion dollars revenue already in year 2024.

“We are glad to work with Nigeria to work together to develop the livestock industry there. We think it’s a good opportunity for our business in Nigeria and Africa as we believe Nigeria can be the center of supply of protein to many countries in Africa. We look forward to working with you.”

Prior to the visit to Brazil, President had commissioned a team of Nigerian officials and private sector players to take the advantage of the G20 Leaders’ Summit in Rio to conduct a study tour of Sao Paulo, Brazil and explore the opportunities in livestock development, meat processing, seed development and multiplication for key grains.

In his remarks, the Minister of Livestock Development, Idi Muhktar Mahia, who led the delegation, reported to the President that the team embarked on guided tours of companies on the scale of their global reach, the integrated nature of their operations as well as the deployment of advanced technology.

He added that from their interactions with various companies, JBS S.A. was chosen being the second largest meat processing company in the world with the capacity to process 33,000 cattle daily and over eight million birds daily, using advanced zero-waste practices.

The company employs over 200,000 people across its subsidiaries in more than 50 countries in the world including United States, Canada, Mexico, Saudi Arabia among others.

The Supreme Court on Friday nullified the National Lottery Act 2005 enacted by the National Assembly because it was made in violation of the powers donated by the Constitution to the federal Legislature.

In a unanimous judgment on Friday, a seven-member panel of the apex court held that the National Assembly lacked the powers to legislate on issues relating to lottery and games of chance.

The court held that such powers only reside with the state Houses of Assembly, which possess exclusive jurisdiction over lottery and related issues.

The lead judgment by Justice Mohammed Idris resolved the two issues, identified for determination, against the Attorney General of the Federation (AGF) and one other, listed as defendants.

He granted all the reliefs sought by the plaintiffs.

The judgment was on the suit, marked: SC/1/2008 filed by Lagos and some other states.

Justice Idris ordered that the National Lottery Act 2005 should no longer applied in all states, except the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), in respect of which the National Assembly is empowered to make laws.

He declared that lottery or games of chance are not one of the items on the Exclusive Legislative List contained in the Constitution in respect of which the National Assembly has the powers to make laws for the whole of the country.

The judge also declared that, having regard to the clear provisions of Section 4(2) & (3) of the Constitution, the National Assembly lacks the powers to make any legislation for the control and regulation of lottery in Nigeria.

He equally declared that, having regard to the provisions of Section 4(4)(a) & (b) and Part 2 of the Second Schedule of the Constitution, matters relating to the lottery are not issues on which the National Assembly and state Houses of Assembly have concurrent powers to make laws.

Justice Idris also declared that, having regard to the provisions of section 4(7)(a) & (c) of the First Schedule to the Constitution the House of Assembly of Lagos State and other states have the powers, to the exclusion of the National Assembly, to make laws for the regulation and control of lottery within their states.

He further declared that, having regard to the provisions of sections 4(4)(b), 7(a) and 39, 29(9)(a) of the Constitution, the power of the National Assembly to make laws for the regulation and control of lottery is limited by the Constitution.

The judge also declared that sections 17, 18, 19 20 and 21 of the National Lottery Act 2005 made by the National Assembly are inconsistent with the Constitution, adding that the National Lottery Act is inconsistent with the provisions of the 1999 Constitution.

He proceeded to issue an order that was made nullifying the entirety of the National Lottery Act.

Justice Idris also issued an order of perpetual injunction restraining the first defendant (AGF), either by himself or his agents or any other agency of the Federal Government from implementing the provisions of the National Lottery Act within the territories of the plaintiff states.

He further issued an order of perpetual injunction restraining the first defendant, its agents, or agencies of the federal government from continuing to implement or enforce the provisions of the National Lottery Act within the territories of the plaintiff states

The judge made no orders to cost.

Other members of the panel – Justice Uwani Abba-Aji (who presided), Justices Mohammed Lawal Garba, Emmanuel Agim, Simon Tsammani, Stephen Adah, and Jamilu Tukur agreed with the lead judgment.

I was in London when Kemi Badenoch, a British politician of Nigerian extraction was running against a white man called Robert Jenrick in a bid to become leader of the British Conservative party.

At the same time and on the other side of the Atlantic, Kamala Harris, an American politician of Indian and Jamaican extraction, was running against a white man called Donald Trump in a bid to become the next President of the United States.

I have always been a great fan of Ms Harris because I like her style (especially her cool trouser suits!) and share most of her convictions.

But I’ve never warmed to Ms Badenoch because even though she sometimes talks sense, I don’t like the way she presents herself and think that some of her views are ridiculous.

However, I prayed that both of these black Amazons would win their contests because I reckon that the black race is uplifted whenever any black person who isn’t a crook, psychopath or moron triumphs, especially in white-dominated countries with racist track records.

In other words, even if I don’t agree with everything a black (or brown for that matter) person says or does, I am glad whenever an ethnic minority individual succeeds in the Western World.

This is why I kinda supported Rishi Sunak, Kemi’s predecessor, why I was happy when Kemi won her race on November 2  and why I shed bitter tears when Kamala failed to trounce Trump a few days later.

But, much to my surprise, while most black folks joined me in fervently cheering Kamala on and shared my profound sadness about her defeat, most black folks in the UK and Nigeria either displayed no interest in Kemi’s victory or expressed regret when she won.

I was so taken aback by this widespread refusal to rejoice for Kemi that I set out to find out why she is receiving such scant support from her brethren. I asked almost every black person I’ve spoken to this month; and the answers I got were pretty straightforward.

Firstly, Kemi is widely regarded as a “coconut” – as someone who may be dark on the outside but is white on the inside.

And this objection to Kemi isn’t just about fellow blacks feeling that she is culturally out of sync with most Nigerians and Diasporan Africans. It’s about a belief that she is a cynical OR self-hating traitor who either genuinely dislikes her race or sucks up to influential whites who do not have our best interests at heart because she wants to gain “house nigger” benefits from them.

And Kemi certainly doesn’t help herself by making ridiculous statements like her recent (and frankly insane!) claim that colonialism and slavery did not contribute to Britain’s prosperity.

How can she possibly justify this statement about a nation that grew rich on the back of free labour coerced from millions of slaves and natural resources stolen from numerous colonies?

Another thing that really annoys her detractors is her refusal to identify with Nigeria. She has said that she fled from Nigeria and wants nothing to do with it; and Nigerian Government officials who have tried to congratulate her have said that she snubbed them.

Well, I can understand her anger about this country. Even though both of Kemi’s parents were professionals when she was growing up, Nigeria rarely displays real respect for honest, hard-working professionals.

This is a place in which it is exceedingly difficult to thrive on a normal salary. This is a place in which security challenges abound, inflation is rampant and basic amenities like electricity are scarce.

So I really don’t blame her if her memories of Nigeria are not positive; and I would urge those who criticise her for not viewing her motherland through rose-tinted spectacles to quit their delusional patriotism and remember that some of us have high standards and do not feel lucky to live in a badly governed country.

Still, Kemi should not throw the baby out with the bathwater and should try to adopt a more gracious attitude towards the land of her ancestors.

Rishi and Kamala also come from deeply flawed developing countries, but have never gone out of their way to speak ill of their origins.

One can only hope that Kemi will eventually see the error of her ways. After all, Nigeria has a good side and whites tend to respect you more, deep down, if you know where you are coming from and refuse to kow-tow to their baser racist instincts!

And wouldn’t it be nice if she could come home and be pleasant and receive a rapturous welcome from Nigerians who are thrilled that their girl has done good?!

TAX RUBBISH

President Tinubu has 

transmitted tax reform bills to the National Assembly for consideration. Someone sent me this description of it:

The New Tax Bill marks a major reform in Nigeria’s tax system, offering a comprehensive, unified, and modern framework for taxation. By broadening the tax base, simplifying compliance, and recognising emerging sectors such as the digital economy, it positions Nigeria to enhance revenue generation while promoting fairness and equity. As the Bill takes effect from 2025, it is expected to streamline tax administration, support business growth, and encourage compliance, all while fostering a tax system that is responsive to the needs of a rapidly evolving economy.

I have never heard such nonsense in my life!

No Nigerian government has ever adequately accounted for the billions of petrodollars that have flowed from the Niger Delta.

We all know that most of this cash has been looted…and that very little of it has been spent on infrastructure, education, healthcare, etc.

The guys who run the show are feeding fat on oil money and leaving the rest of us to struggle to survive and thrive.

Why on earth should we have to pay tax as well?

The Federal University, Oye Ekiti, Ekiti State, has cleared a female student, Ramota Olahanloye, to graduate following the re-marking of her final-year examination scripts.

Olahanloye had alleged that a lecturer, Dr. Anthony Agbegbedia, demanded sexual favours from her, and when she declined, he deliberately failed her in two final-year courses.

In a statement issued on Friday by the Special Adviser on Media to the Vice-Chancellor, Dr. Wole Balogun, the university confirmed that Olahanloye’s allegations were investigated, and her scripts were re-marked.

“The young lady’s scripts were re-marked, and she performed fairly better than the scores initially awarded by Dr. Anthony Agbegbedia,” the statement read.

According to Balogun, the university management approved Olahanloye’s revised results, which qualified her for graduation.

“The university management has given executive approval for her results to be processed. She has since commenced her final clearance from relevant units of the university,” the statement added.

Balogun also disclosed that Agbegbedia had been sanctioned by the institution for his misconduct.

Olahanloye expressed her joy over the resolution of the case, saying, “I am happy that I have gotten justice, and I really appreciate the university Vice-Chancellor for setting up the committee that investigated the matter.

“I was shown my entire results, including the graduation list with my name on it. I have started my clearance as a graduating student of the university, and I am truly happy.”

Her father, Rasaki Olahanloye, also lauded the university for its commitment to justice.

“I can confirm to the world that FUOYE has served justice to my daughter. I was shown her upgraded results after her scripts were re-marked, and it is clear that she passed.

“The university fulfilled its promise to ensure fairness, and I appreciate the VC, Prof. Sunday Fasina, and the committee members for ensuring my daughter gets justice,” he said.

The Dangote Petroleum Refinery says the federal government’s initiative to sell crude priced in the local currency is faltering, as the plant is still unable to secure adequate supplies.

Edwin Devakumar, the vice-president of Dangote Industries Limited, spoke to Reuters on Friday.

“We need 650,000 barrels per day, (state oil firm NNPC Ltd) agreed to give a minimum of 385,000 bpd but they are not even delivering that,” Devakumar said.

He described the deliveries from Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited under the scheme as “peanuts”.

Also speaking, Mathins Obaze, an acting executive director of the Crude Oil Refinery-owners Association of Nigeria (CORAN), said only the Dangote refinery, one of eight refineries in operation in Nigeria, has benefited from the naira-denominated crude sales arrangement.

“Members are still unable to access crude in naira and are currently engaging the government for a resolution,” Obaze said.

On October 5, the federal government said Nigeria officially commenced the sale of crude oil and refined petroleum products in naira — with Dangote refinery focusing on local supply.

A few weeks later, the refinery received four cargoes of crude oil from the NNPC under the naira-for-crude sale agreement.

On November 21, the Lekki-based refinery purchased its first shipment of US oil after a three-month break as the firm sought to increase production.
