00:00:30"i've been a bit worried in recent days about some
00:00:33of the things i read now papers or hear on
00:00:37television and things like that. um,
00:00:40the mainstream media, again now joining the junk
00:00:44media we have on the social media spreading fake
00:00:47news. uh, i think on saturday to call the edit of
00:00:51one
00:00:51of the papers in our country when a story came out that the
00:00:55f price has gone to
00:00:571,900."
00:01:00and
00:01:02of read
00:01:02that said your headline does not match the story,
00:01:06the story clearly was not talking about about f price going to
00:01:101.9 but about diesel
00:01:12a going to 1.9 and he said i make correction
00:01:16then the correlation he made was not satisf i said look you just
00:01:19wrote
00:01:21corrigendum i said no
00:01:24a you write corrigendum you will write corrigendum but you have to write the
00:01:28airline that
00:01:28of line
00:01:29of you made you we slep the public with you have to correct and said
00:01:33is not petrol, it's
00:01:35a diesel that has gone to 1.9 and i think he
00:01:39did that
00:01:40a and he clos it, i think that was another incident, this one news
00:01:43central, there was a video circulating on news
00:01:47centr,
00:01:48i think posted on social media, the the video
00:01:51itself is different from the headline that was
00:01:55chosen, the lady was in the video
00:01:59reporter, was talking about cuws
00:02:02for for CNG,
00:02:05Adelline said kills for
00:02:09of petrol, so what what is going on, and
00:02:13to me it was disturbing that we should not, you see this,
00:02:18of we have no other con this country, and we should be as editors,
00:02:20of as as gatekeepers, we need to think about the country
00:02:24first, we don't just uh do things that we flame
00:02:28passions that... you can cause riot in the country and things like
00:02:32that. Nigeria is very important, should
00:02:35be more important for us in our editorial decisions that don't
00:02:39just allow a lot of things to go. It has been a good session.
00:02:43in I want to thank the minister for providing information about what you
00:02:47are asking for. But I need to stress that the discount we are
00:02:51talking about is not a federal government discount. Is
00:02:54NMPC and NMPC started this
00:02:57discount at in. independence he came out with a publicity and
00:03:01said we are doing discount for nigerians to mark
00:03:0466th independence anniversary and that was
00:03:08of why the corporation was offering 66
00:03:11discount just for to to mean to give some
00:03:14sort to nigerians that was the reason and as the minister
00:03:18said
00:03:19the at the time the the minister of finance announced
00:03:23the the measure as as part of all the raft of measures not
00:03:27just not just f not just for. the customs man was
00:03:31there, he announced the reduction in custom
00:03:34tarief for vehicles and other other
00:03:38of things, the the
00:03:39of man, the CNG man also was there to give some light about what they
00:03:43are doing, to accelerate CNG
00:03:47of rollout, and the only unfortunate thing that the
00:03:50of announced, that's what people are are saying is f going, no is NMPC,
00:03:54they were the are fully represented and they assure the
00:03:57minister that they were going to continue their... 66
00:04:01of discount and that's what you're having, it's NMPC discount, not federal government of
00:04:04Nigeria, it's
00:04:06of NMPC
00:04:06and the information high have is that the margin is something they can
00:04:10easily
00:04:13of accommodate, they can is a big company, they can accommodate that if
00:04:17they've started already and they are now elongating it for another 30
00:04:21days, it's something they can
00:04:22of accommodate, so it's not going to affect the one that goes
00:04:26of to federal account allocation
00:04:28of committee or whatever the... states to still get their money and
00:04:32second i just want
00:04:33to also stress that when people talk about multidimensional
00:04:37poverty is wrong to always focus on the federal
00:04:40government, in fact all the issues under
00:04:44of multidimensional property they actually fall under the
00:04:48state government, if we are talking about education is
00:04:51state, if we are talking
00:04:53of about food, the f does not have land,
00:04:56of is the state, if i talk about housing is the state.
00:05:01I think we should focus, as we are scrutinizing the federal,
00:05:05we should continue to scrutinize the local government, I mean the state
00:05:08of government and the local government, they need to do lot of things.
00:05:13more focus more on people center things so that to give
00:05:16some relief to all of us, not just federal goverment alone, all everybody, all
00:05:20the tires are involved in this, once again i to thank all of you
00:05:24for coming, i will look forward to more meetings like
00:05:28this that can shed more light on the activities of
00:05:31government, thank you once
00:05:33again, thank you very
00:05:37much, honorable minister, you
00:05:38want to give pattern shot sir, well the pating shot is that
00:05:41um although we have been doing it actually bringing ministers, but we will continue
00:05:45to engage, maybe this interactive session, if you can't do it
00:05:49every week, maybe every fort night, so that we take issues as they
00:05:53evolve and go with them. i want to thank you once again for
00:05:57coming and i want to assure you that even for those who are not able to

00:06:23doubt, but I want to thank you more sincerely for coming as such a short
00:06:27notice to to listen to us and we will do more uh for this,
00:06:31thank you very much, thank you very much, I believe the
00:06:35honorable minister deserves resounding round of applause, he has been standing

00:06:46media chat, at this time I like to becon on also please rise even as we take

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

00:13:40communities. my advice to you is

00:15:00a trained fashion designer here today
00:15:03again uh I believe this cool this could be done
00:15:07in every sector the state uh
00:15:11the issue of unemployment will be greatly reduced
00:15:15following its pilot phase in Abuja and the successful completion

00:16:50Welcome to Business News Nigers energy sector continues to grapple with the challenge
00:16:54of translating its vast natural resources into reliable and
00:16:57affordable energy supply. These years Harvard Business School
00:17:01Association of Nigeria Energy Conference provides a platform for
00:17:05addressing one the country's long. standing economic challenges, the
00:17:09disconnect between oil and gas production, infrastructure and power
00:17:13delivery.
00:17:17Nigeria's energy challenge goes beyond the availability of natural
00:17:20resources with infrastructure gaps, poor revenue collection and
00:17:24distribution bottanex weigh in on the sector. These were among the
00:17:28issues highlighted at the 2026 Harvard Business School
00:17:31Association of Nigeria, Energy Conference, where industry leaders
00:17:35called for better integration. the oil and gas and power value
00:17:39chain, the result is an energy system in
00:17:43which abundant resources exis with supply constraints, infrastructure
00:17:47gass and high cost for businesses and
00:17:50household, oil, gas
00:17:53and and power cannot continue to be viewed or
00:17:57managed in isolation, they are interconnected as one part of an energy
00:18:01ecosystem, the question before us is therefore is
00:18:05not how to produce money, but how to integrate. and resources, policies
00:18:08infrastructure and capital to create create economic val. for
00:18:12industry leaders, addressing these challenges will require more than
00:18:16increasing production, would also mean improving the links between
00:18:19energy supply. in the world energy story,
00:18:23Nigeria's cars should not be food no, whether it comes
00:18:27in the main test, depends of something every engineer in
00:18:31this room understands, depends on the joints, the
00:18:35places where one part of his system
00:18:38meets the next. In
00:18:42August, speaking of penga, describe what
00:18:45I call the Nigerian gas paradox and it feels in
00:18:49one sentence, we are rich in gas or we
00:18:53are shot in energy. Policymers
00:18:57announce aggressive goals including the federal government's plan to
00:19:00completely clear Janko's legacy debts by 2027
00:19:04while we structuring market design to optimize. is domestic gas
00:19:08utilization and power generation in power
00:19:12sector today we're trying to fix
00:19:14the down hand the problem which is the distribution we have
00:19:1840% if you don't
00:19:22meter how
00:19:23do you get to do today so this government in the last
00:19:27six months deployed over
00:19:29700, our plan is to deploy
00:19:337.5 millions in the next to the
00:19:36years. along the value chain, what you will,
00:19:40you generate about 7, 500, you will about
00:19:44500 hours, and then you're able to distribute our
00:19:47400, and the reason why you
00:19:49are doing, and out the 4,000 you're able to distribute, you collect
00:19:53maybe 60 or 80%, and that's what ended
00:19:57up in
00:19:59the in the cumulated death that
00:20:01we have
00:20:03to gene, i want to tell you on behalf the president today that this
00:20:07date, are stand with us
00:20:09annually, we are going
00:20:12to have this impact every
00:20:15year. For Nigeria, the challenge is
00:20:19not only hernessing its energy resources, but ensuring the
00:20:23deliver reliable power and sustainable economic
00:20:26value.
