Thank you. Good to know!

There you have it, people! Nigeria has removed VAT on LPG (‘cooking gas’), as part of efforts to drive domestic production and utilization. Big piece of news coming tomorrow in that space, by the way, watch this space!
Today VP @ProfOsinbajo Commissioned an LPG Cylinder Manufacturing Plant, built by Techno Oil, in Lekki, Lagos.

According to the Company, “At full capacity, the plant will produce over 5 million units of standard LPG cylinders annually for Nigeria and markets in West Africa.”
“Techno oil has built the first fully indigenous automated LPG cylinder manufacturing plant at Kajola, Lagos, Nigeria, with capacity to produce over 5 million pieces of LPG cylinders annually.” technooil.com/lpg-cylinder-m…

Remember Clemens Westerhof? He, in 1994,coached Nigeria to an AFCON win,& to qualify for our 1st-ever World Cup. At the time the FG promised him a house

For 25 years the promise entered voicemail

Today BRF on behalf of @AsoRock presented Westerhof the docs to the promised house
“Football is a great unifier in Nigeria. It is one of area where religion, ethnicity and the things that are used to stoke us to anger take a back seat. It was the arena of expression of Clemens Westerhof in his service to Nigeria as our National team football coach.”— BRF
“He ended our frustrating and unsuccessful attempts to qualify for the World Cup by qualifying the Super Eagles for their first World Cup in USA in 1994.”—BRF

Some pretty remarkable healthcare initiatives have taken off in #Nigeria in last few years. (If you’re interested in discussing what has NOT been done maybe don’t bother, this particular thread is about what’s BEEN done).

As always implementation & Monitoring/Oversight are key.
At the very top of the list I’d put the BASIC HEALTHCARE PROVISION FUND. Stipulated by the National Health Act of 2014, but not implemented until 2018 budget. 1% of Consolidated Revenue Fund (CRF), to go into a special Fund for Primary Health Care. In 2018 that 1% came to ~N55bn.
When it comes to Primary Health Care - the FG has only supporting/supervisory roles. The real actors are LGAs and their ‘parents’, the States. So the BHCPF money isn’t being spent by/inAbuja, it’s going to PHC facilities nationwide — as Opex budgets & Reimbursements.

This all started because the #MetPolice & #LBRUT couldn't do their day jobs properly & decided to take the law into their own hands. It started as a small cover up 12 years ago but has turned into British State Persecution.

#Skynews #BBCNews #DailyMail #Guardian #Euronews
My company was raided. It should have been a straightforward matter. But the #MetPolice & #LBRUT forgot to seize my computer & came back to do a 2nd raid. The search warrant didn't permit a second entry, however, #LBRUT entered unlawfully

#Guardian #Telegraph #DailyMail #GMB #UK
Complaints were then made to my MP #VinceCable. He liaised with the #Metpolice & #LBRUT. And then weeks later, the search warrant was completely changed & was passed off as the search warrant executed on the day of the raids.

It is interesting Distinguished ACP @YomiShogunle that our @PoliceNG have been debased to a mere Guns for hire by the elite against the citizenry. So it is now a criminal offense to point our a societal ill? Was his account false? Is this law enforcement? 🤔
Why deploy an arsenal of bandits to another state just to fulfil the wishes of some elites who takes pride in fleecing parents and ruining kids emotionally at early childhood? Is this what the police would be remembered for? Why intimidate social commentators? 🤔
Everyone connected to this case must be brought to book. This is insanity of the highest order. Police can never be abused this way while we turn the other cheek. Who are the hungry officers sent to abduct a citizen over a Tweet thread? Reveal them to the world. #ReformPoliceNG
