16 Years After, Fuel Resumes Loading At Aba Deport
The lifting of petroleum products at the Aba depot of the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), which had been suspended sixteen years ago is expected to resume next week.

This was disclosed at the weekend as the Federal Government said it was part of measures to find permanent solution to the scarcity of fuel plaguing the country for months.

It also said over twelve million liters of petroleum products were awaiting distribution at the depot.

The resumption of operations at the depot according to the Executive Director of the company Mr. Kennedy Azodeh, followed the repairs carried out on the vandalized oil pipeline which now makes the pumping of products possible.

Suspension of loading at the depot was as a result of the continued pipeline vandalisation along the Port Harcourt – Enugu stretch covering about 209 kilometers.

Efforts in the past to revive the Osisioma Depot at Aba were sabotaged by the activities of vandals and failure of the community to ensure security of the pipelines along the route.

Azodeh said measures were being put in place to effectively check vandalism in the area.
He, however, said while the Port Harcourt –Aba route was now safe, the pumping from Aba to Enugu would be effected soon when logistics were put in place.

In his remark, Chairman of the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association ( IPMAN ) Aba Depot, Prince Bobby Dick, said because of the expected loading at the depot, marketers had reversed the price of the product to the government approved price.

A new vaccine-based treatment for HIV has succeeded in suppressing the virus in five patients, raising hopes further research could help prevent Aids without the need for daily drugs. Independent of the United Kingdom reported on Friday that researchers combined two innovative HIV vaccines with a drug usually used to treat cancer in the trial, conducted over three years at the IrsiCaixa Aids Research Institute in Barcelona. After receiving the treatment, the virus was undetectable in five out of 24 participants and its spread was stopped by their immune systems, reported the New Scientist. One of them has been drug-free for seven months. Around 18 million people – half of all those living with HIV around the world – take ART to slow the progression of the infection, according to the UN. But these drugs are expensive and can cause unpleasant side effects. Patients have to remember to take them every day, sometimes over their entire lives. Mitchell Warren, executive dire...

Nigeria's imediate past minister of Finance ,Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala has been indicted by the Nigerian senate over a N1.7t loss in revenue. According to the Senate Ad Hoc Committee on Alleged Misuse, Under-Remittance and Other Fraudulent Activities, revenue agencies short-changed the Federal Government to the tune of N1.7tn as unremitted revenue generated between 2012 and 2016. The panel blamed it on a memo by a former Minister of Finance, Mrs. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, who allegedly issued the memo to the agencies to remit 25 per cent of revenue they generated to the Federal Government and spend 75 per cent on their expenditures. An interim report by the committee chaired by Senator Olamilekan Adeola, details this. The panel said the amount to be remitted to the Federal Government during the period by 93 agencies it investigated was N21.5tn. It alleged that 25 of the 93 agencies covered defrauded the government of a total of N1,695,585,887,406.
