Vice President Osinbajo Warns That Nigerians Will Be Losers If Country Breaks Up

Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo says Nigerians will be at a disadvantage if the country breaks up.

Speaking when he received the national executive of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), at the presidential villa in Abuja, Osinbajo said there is a need to promote the message of unity in the country, and advised journalists to be professional in the discharge of their duties.

According to a statement by the Vice President's spokesperson, Laolu Akande,  Osinbajo said, “It is important for us to continue to emphasise that the unity of this country is crucial, because if this country breaks up in any way or becomes the subject of what some people will like it to be, all of us will lose out. Obviously, the elite will survive in any way but the vast majority of our people will not."

FG Suspends Passports Of Over 2,000 Travellers For Violating COVID-19 Protocol

The National Incident Manager of the Presidential Steering Committee, Mukhtar Mohammed, has said the federal government has suspended the passports of more than 2,000 in-bound travelers for violating the COVID protocol.

Mohammed said surveillance systems have been improved at airports, seaports, and land borders, and travellers found to have violated the protocol have been penalised.

He said passengers arriving from high-risk countries comprising India, South Africa, Brazil and Turkey are expected to observe a 14-day quarantine in facilities approved by government.

Inspiration FM recalls that in May, the federal government released the names of some passengers who were accused of violating the COVID protocol.

September 28, 2021 Petrol Subsidy Hits N905.27 Billion In Eight Months

Petrol Subsidy Hits N905.27 Billion In Eight Months

The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), has said it spent the sum of N905.27 billion on petrol subsidy in eight months.

The subsidy, which the NNPC terms 'value shortfall or 'under-recovery’, came back in January this year as the government left the pump price of petrol unchanged at N162-N165 per litre, in the face of increase in global oil prices.

Inspiration FM recalls that the Federal Government had in March 2020 taken away petrol subsidy after reducing the pump price of the product to N125 per litre from N145 following the sharp drop in crude oil prices.

Available data from the NNPC showed that it incurred N25.37bn subsidy cost in January, N60.40bn in February, N111.97bn in March, and N126.30bn in April and N114.34bn in May.

NNPC said subsidy cost rose from N143.29bn in June to N175.32bn in July but fell to N149.28bn in August.
