[00:00:30] "i've been a bit worried in recent days about some
[00:00:33] of the things i read now papers or hear on
[00:00:37] television and things like that. um,
[00:00:40] the mainstream media, again now joining the junk
[00:00:44] media we have on the social media spreading fake
[00:00:47] news. uh, i think on saturday to call the edit of
[00:00:51] one
[00:00:51] of the papers in our country when a story came out that the
[00:00:55] f price has gone to
[00:00:57] 1,900."
[00:01:00] and
[00:01:02] of read
[00:01:02] that said your headline does not match the story,
[00:01:06] the story clearly was not talking about about f price going to
[00:01:10] 1.9 but about diesel
[00:01:12] a going to 1.9 and he said i make correction
[00:01:16] then the correlation he made was not satisf i said look you just
[00:01:19] wrote
[00:01:21] corrigendum i said no
[00:01:24] a you write corrigendum you will write corrigendum but you have to write the
[00:01:28] airline that
[00:01:28] of line
[00:01:29] of you made you we slep the public with you have to correct and said
[00:01:33] is not petrol, it's
[00:01:35] a diesel that has gone to 1.9 and i think he
[00:01:39] did that
[00:01:40] a and he clos it, i think that was another incident, this one news
[00:01:43] central, there was a video circulating on news
[00:01:47] centr,
[00:01:48] i think posted on social media, the the video
[00:01:51] itself is different from the headline that was
[00:01:55] chosen, the lady was in the video
[00:01:59] reporter, was talking about cuws
[00:02:02] for for CNG,
[00:02:05] Adelline said kills for
[00:02:09] of petrol, so what what is going on, and
[00:02:13] to me it was disturbing that we should not, you see this,
[00:02:18] of we have no other con this country, and we should be as editors,
[00:02:20] of as as gatekeepers, we need to think about the country
[00:02:24] first, we don't just uh do things that we flame
[00:02:28] passions that... you can cause riot in the country and things like
[00:02:32] that. Nigeria is very important, should
[00:02:35] be more important for us in our editorial decisions that don't
[00:02:39] just allow a lot of things to go. It has been a good session.
[00:02:43] in I want to thank the minister for providing information about what you
[00:02:47] are asking for. But I need to stress that the discount we are
[00:02:51] talking about is not a federal government discount. Is
[00:02:54] NMPC and NMPC started this
[00:02:57] discount at in. independence he came out with a publicity and
[00:03:01] said we are doing discount for nigerians to mark
[00:03:04] 66th independence anniversary and that was
[00:03:08] of why the corporation was offering 66
[00:03:11] discount just for to to mean to give some
[00:03:14] sort to nigerians that was the reason and as the minister
[00:03:18] said
[00:03:19] the at the time the the minister of finance announced
[00:03:23] the the measure as as part of all the raft of measures not
[00:03:27] just not just f not just for. the customs man was
[00:03:31] there, he announced the reduction in custom
[00:03:34] tarief for vehicles and other other
[00:03:38] of things, the the
[00:03:39] of man, the CNG man also was there to give some light about what they
[00:03:43] are doing, to accelerate CNG
[00:03:47] of rollout, and the only unfortunate thing that the
[00:03:50] of announced, that's what people are are saying is f going, no is NMPC,
[00:03:54] they were the are fully represented and they assure the
[00:03:57] minister that they were going to continue their... 66
[00:04:01] of discount and that's what you're having, it's NMPC discount, not federal government of
[00:04:04] Nigeria, it's
[00:04:06] of NMPC
[00:04:06] and the information high have is that the margin is something they can
[00:04:10] easily
[00:04:13] of accommodate, they can is a big company, they can accommodate that if
[00:04:17] they've started already and they are now elongating it for another 30
[00:04:21] days, it's something they can
[00:04:22] of accommodate, so it's not going to affect the one that goes
[00:04:26] of to federal account allocation
[00:04:28] of committee or whatever the... states to still get their money and
[00:04:32] second i just want
[00:04:33] to also stress that when people talk about multidimensional
[00:04:37] poverty is wrong to always focus on the federal
[00:04:40] government, in fact all the issues under
[00:04:44] of multidimensional property they actually fall under the
[00:04:48] state government, if we are talking about education is
[00:04:51] state, if we are talking
[00:04:53] of about food, the f does not have land,
[00:04:56] of is the state, if i talk about housing is the state.
[00:05:01] I think we should focus, as we are scrutinizing the federal,
[00:05:05] we should continue to scrutinize the local government, I mean the state
[00:05:08] of government and the local government, they need to do lot of things.
[00:05:13] more focus more on people center things so that to give
[00:05:16] some relief to all of us, not just federal goverment alone, all everybody, all
[00:05:20] the tires are involved in this, once again i to thank all of you
[00:05:24] for coming, i will look forward to more meetings like
[00:05:28] this that can shed more light on the activities of
[00:05:31] government, thank you once
[00:05:33] again, thank you very
[00:05:37] much, honorable minister, you
[00:05:38] want to give pattern shot sir, well the pating shot is that
[00:05:41] um although we have been doing it actually bringing ministers, but we will continue
[00:05:45] to engage, maybe this interactive session, if you can't do it
[00:05:49] every week, maybe every fort night, so that we take issues as they
[00:05:53] evolve and go with them. i want to thank you once again for
[00:05:57] coming and i want to assure you that even for those who are not able to
[00:06:00] attend uh, we are always open, we are ready, um, our
[00:06:04] our system is open to answer questions to

[00:06:12] you please leave out, that's what the law says the profession, please,
[00:06:16] don't run with anything that you know is either
[00:06:20] uh, not correct or you yourself that is putting out there, you are in
[00:06:23] doubt, but I want to thank you more sincerely for coming as such a short
[00:06:27] notice to to listen to us and we will do more uh for this,
[00:06:31] thank you very much, thank you very much, I believe the
[00:06:35] honorable minister deserves resounding round of applause, he has been standing
[00:06:39] for over an hour answering questions, thank you. your
[00:06:42] excellency, very distinguished ladies and gentlemen, with that we've come to the end of this
[00:06:46] media chat, at this time I like to becon on also please rise even as we take
[00:06:50] the national pleasure to bring this officially to
[00:06:52] close, on the count
[00:06:56] of two, one, two, I pledge to Nigeria, my
[00:07:00] country, to be faithful, loyal and honest, to serve

[00:08:34] evaluate national development policies rather
[00:08:38] than operating on intuition.
[00:08:42] Scholars, technocrats and policy makers are asking critical
[00:08:46] questions about Nigeria's quest for real growth and
[00:08:50] whether or another country can truly develop without reliable
[00:08:53] data. This experts are brainstorming a forum put
[00:08:57] together by the department of statistics, university of ibado
[00:09:01] and honor the pioneer head of department of statistics,
[00:09:05] professor Samuel Adamu to proffer solutions to the
[00:09:09] nagging issues at stake. The statistition.
[00:09:13] must then be able to ask the question that has
[00:09:17] always been at the heart the discipline,
[00:09:20] what does the evidence actually tell
[00:09:23] us? this is where the foundation meets the
[00:09:26] frontier, the mathematical principles remain, the
[00:09:30] scientific discipline remains, the need for reliable evidence
[00:09:34] remains, what changes are the tools, the
[00:09:37] scale and the complexity the
[00:09:41] problems. Statisticians believe that statistics go beyond
[00:09:45] a mathematical technique for data generation and
[00:09:49] collection, but server as a transformative tool through which
[00:09:52] empirical information that can enhance evidence-based
[00:09:56] decision making for developmental policy formulation can
[00:10:00] be derived. The challenge before us is therefore not simply
[00:10:04] to produce more graduates, we must produce
[00:10:08] well-trained, hethical, innovative.
[00:10:12] and socially responsible statistical manpower,
[00:10:16] capable of using data to solve real world
[00:10:20] problems and contribute meaningfully to national
[00:10:23] transformation. For policy makers, every road
[00:10:27] built, every school opened, every hospital
[00:10:30] equipped begins with data, so serious focus must be
[00:10:34] given to accessing and assessing critical data
[00:10:38] to make informed decisions. Nigeria need professionals
[00:10:42] who understand theory and technology, but
[00:10:45] you can also communicate clearly, or put ethical
[00:10:48] standards and translate evidence into
[00:10:51] practical decisions. We need stronger partnership. among
[00:10:55] universities, government,
[00:10:58] industry and professional bodies, we must
[00:11:02] invest in our people, improve the national statistical
[00:11:06] system and ensuring that credible evidence reaches every
[00:11:10] level of our decision making. the future statistician
[00:11:14] must be designer of representative data, an
[00:11:17] architect of analytical system, guardian of
[00:11:21] quality, a modellar of uncertainty. an
[00:11:25] evaluator of evidence, auditor, auditor of
[00:11:28] algorithms, defender of fairness and communicator of
[00:11:32] risk. the key take away is that statistics plays a key
[00:11:36] role in developing critical sectors such as
[00:11:39] security, health, education, agriculture, among others
[00:11:43] even as it promotes accountability.
[00:11:46] nevertheless, the one that for statistics to derive
[00:11:50] development, the data must be accurate, it must be
[00:11:54] timely, and free from political
[00:11:56] interference. channel's

[00:13:33] political leaders in attendance urged the beneficiaries to act as
[00:13:37] transformative agents for the youth in their
[00:13:40] communities. my advice to you is
[00:13:43] for to take this in seriously, she still has lot today,
[00:13:47] whatever you receive today should have more
[00:13:50] impact on you and people around you than ever.
[00:13:55] make good use of it and I'm sure next

[00:14:02] optimistic that the renewed hope agenda the Bolatinubu administration
[00:14:06] will alleviate poverty in the country as it targets 5 million jobs for
[00:14:10] young Nigerians in the first phase the poverty reduction
[00:14:13] program. Mr. President is has really come
[00:14:16] out
[00:14:18] in his efforts at poverty reduction and
[00:14:22] ensuring that our children have. vocational
[00:14:26] skills, they engage
[00:14:28] in technical so that they can give
[00:14:31] self, self reliance,
[00:14:34] poverty reduction, uh, security
[00:14:38] as well, then you are telling the whole world that people can be on
[00:14:42] their own, with what she has done here today, i can
[00:14:46] tell you that the poverty rating the state will go down a bit,
[00:14:49] people can now have their own job, pointed to somebody
[00:14:53] that i know as a program presenter and radio station in
[00:14:56] Nevada and she has graduated as
[00:15:00] a trained fashion designer here today
[00:15:03] again uh I believe this cool this could be done
[00:15:07] in every sector the state uh
[00:15:11] the issue of unemployment will be greatly reduced
[00:15:15] following its pilot phase in Abuja and the successful completion
[00:15:18] the state exercise the nationwide rollout will move to

[00:16:50] Welcome to Business News Nigers energy sector continues to grapple with the challenge
[00:16:54] of translating its vast natural resources into reliable and
[00:16:57] affordable energy supply. These years Harvard Business School
[00:17:01] Association of Nigeria Energy Conference provides a platform for
[00:17:05] addressing one the country's long. standing economic challenges, the
[00:17:09] disconnect between oil and gas production, infrastructure and power
[00:17:13] delivery.
[00:17:17] Nigeria's energy challenge goes beyond the availability of natural
[00:17:20] resources with infrastructure gaps, poor revenue collection and
[00:17:24] distribution bottanex weigh in on the sector. These were among the
[00:17:28] issues highlighted at the 2026 Harvard Business School
[00:17:31] Association of Nigeria, Energy Conference, where industry leaders
[00:17:35] called for better integration. the oil and gas and power value
[00:17:39] chain, the result is an energy system in
[00:17:43] which abundant resources exis with supply constraints, infrastructure
[00:17:47] gass and high cost for businesses and
[00:17:50] household, oil, gas
[00:17:53] and and power cannot continue to be viewed or
[00:17:57] managed in isolation, they are interconnected as one part of an energy
[00:18:01] ecosystem, the question before us is therefore is
[00:18:05] not how to produce money, but how to integrate. and resources, policies
[00:18:08] infrastructure and capital to create create economic val. for
[00:18:12] industry leaders, addressing these challenges will require more than
[00:18:16] increasing production, would also mean improving the links between
[00:18:19] energy supply. in the world energy story,
[00:18:23] Nigeria's cars should not be food no, whether it comes
[00:18:27] in the main test, depends of something every engineer in
[00:18:31] this room understands, depends on the joints, the
[00:18:35] places where one part of his system
[00:18:38] meets the next. In
[00:18:42] August, speaking of penga, describe what
[00:18:45] I call the Nigerian gas paradox and it feels in
[00:18:49] one sentence, we are rich in gas or we
[00:18:53] are shot in energy. Policymers
[00:18:57] announce aggressive goals including the federal government's plan to
[00:19:00] completely clear Janko's legacy debts by 2027
[00:19:04] while we structuring market design to optimize. is domestic gas
[00:19:08] utilization and power generation in power
[00:19:12] sector today we're trying to fix
[00:19:14] the down hand the problem which is the distribution we have
[00:19:18] 40% if you don't
[00:19:22] meter how
[00:19:23] do you get to do today so this government in the last
[00:19:27] six months deployed over
[00:19:29] 700, our plan is to deploy
[00:19:33] 7.5 millions in the next to the
[00:19:36] years. along the value chain, what you will,
[00:19:40] you generate about 7, 500, you will about
[00:19:44] 500 hours, and then you're able to distribute our
[00:19:47] 400, and the reason why you
[00:19:49] are doing, and out the 4,000 you're able to distribute, you collect
[00:19:53] maybe 60 or 80%, and that's what ended
[00:19:57] up in
[00:19:59] the in the cumulated death that
[00:20:01] we have
[00:20:03] to gene, i want to tell you on behalf the president today that this
[00:20:07] date, are stand with us
[00:20:09] annually, we are going
[00:20:12] to have this impact every
[00:20:15] year. For Nigeria, the challenge is
[00:20:19] not only hernessing its energy resources, but ensuring the
[00:20:23] deliver reliable power and sustainable economic
[00:20:26] value.
