Lai-Mohammed-1

The Federal Government has assured Nigerians that there is no imminent threat to Nigeria’s assets in spite  of the recent award of 9.6 billion dollars judgment debt by a UK court over a botched contract.

The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed gave the assurance on Tuesday in Abuja at a news conference on the court ruling authorising Process and Industrial Developments Ltd. (P&ID) to seize 9.6 billion dollars in Nigerian assets.

The briefing was jointly addressed by the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami (SAN).

Also at the briefing were the Minister of Finance, Budget and National Planning, Hajia Zainab Ahmed and the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Governor, Godwin Emefiele.

Mohammed noted that contrary to reports in certain quarters, the country is not about to lose any of its assets to P&ID.

“In the first instance, the enforcement of the award cannot even commence now because the Judge in the UK court ordered that P&ID cannot enforce the judgment against Nigeria until after the court resumes from its current vacation.

“What this means is that enforcement action cannot begin until further hearing on the matter, which will take place on a date to be determined by the court upon its resumption.

“The Federal Government, therefore, wishes to use this opportunity to assure Nigerians that there is no immediate threat to Nigeria’s assets as has been wrongly interpreted by a section of the media.

“Nigerians should be assured that the Federal Government is taking all necessary steps to appeal the decision of the UK Court.

“The government will seek for a Stay of Execution of the decision, to defend its rights and to protect the assets of the people,’’ he said.

The minister assured that the Federal Government would avail itself of all defence customarily afforded to sovereign states under the United Kingdom Sovereign Immunity Act to stave off any enforcement of the award.

He, therefore, appealed to the sense of patriotism of the media in the reportage of the sensitive matter.

“It is capable of threatening the very existence of the country, especially as some media outfits have clearly thrown overboard objectivity and patriotism in their very biased reporting of this matter,’’ he said.

Mohammed said experts’ analysis of the damages awarded by the court, showed that “it was clearly unreasonable, unjustifiable and manifestly excessive and exorbitant.

“The damages over-compensated P&ID on a frankly gargantuan scale and imposed a punitive award on Nigeria.’’

Narrating the issues that led to the judgment, the minister said it was fallout of the contract purportedly entered into in 2010 between the Federal Ministry of Petroleum Resources and P&ID

“In a 20-year Gas Supply Processing Agreement (GSPA) purportedly entered into with the P&ID in 2010, the company never performed as agreed.

“With the contract having suffered a setback, the case went to arbitration. P&ID’s claim in the arbitration proceedings was mainly for the loss of profit for the 20-year term of the GSPA.

“In an interim award, the Arbitration Tribunal ruled that Nigeria has breached the contract.

“Though Nigeria successfully applied to have that award set aside by the Federal High Court in Lagos, the Tribunal ignored this decision.

“Consequently, on January 31, 2017, the Tribunal rendered its final award against the Ministry of Petroleum Resources in the sum of 6.597 billion dollars.

“This was in addition to pre-award interest at the rate of seven per cent per annum, effective from March, 20 2013 and post-award interest at the same rate from the date of the award.

“This interest increased the size of the award to 9.6 billion dollars,’’ he said. The minister said that after the arbitration award in 2017, Nigeria made several attempts to negotiate the award and resolve the whole issue amicably with P&ID but to no avail.

He said following an enforcement proceedings instituted simultaneously by the company in the UK and the U.S. the government engaged the services of the U.S. law firm of Curtis, Mallet-Prevost, Colt & Mosle LLP.

The minister also reiterated government’s position on the underhanded manner in which the contract was negotiated and signed.

He said indications were that the whole process was carried out by some vested interests in the past administration.

Mohammed said the saboteurs colluded with their local and international conspirators to inflict grave economic injury on Nigeria and its people.

He said following President Muhammadu Buhari’s directive, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) was conducting investigations into the company and the contract agreement.

The minister said the investigation was being conducted by EFCC in conjunction with the National Intelligence Agency (NIA) and the Inspector-General of Police (IGP).

  15. “There is no known lethal dose for LSD or pure psilocybin,” he said. Hippocrates talked about side effects of treatment. It’s a tradition in medicine to look at outcomes and say that they’re not always good. If you get more into the cultish belief of things, they never report bad cases or side effects. That’s why this is a great discussion—we are trying to point out that there are risks and there are some people who couldn’t tolerate doses of psilocybin or long-term effects which could be concerning for some people when determining whether they want to engage in this type of treatment.  The studies were 2 doses of psilocybin, with medical supervision during the “high” hours. The LD50 (Note 1) of mescaline for humans is unknown but based on experiments on laboratory animals, it has been estimated at approximately 800-1200mg kg orally. So the average adult male might need to take about 60,000 mg. Given that the average human dose is between 100 and 1000mg, it would be incredibly difficult for a human to consume enough Mescaline to die, and not surprisingly, as with cannabis, there are no recorded human deaths from the ingestion of mescaline. https://careforfuture.org.uk/Forum/profile/marissac2906798 3 grams of Golden Teacher Magic Mushrooms per chocolate bar.

The year 2014 saw Bitcoin retain its signature volatility. After hitting $1,000 in early January, Bitcoin bottomed at $111.60 on Feb. 21 – a decline approaching 90 percent! Behind the turbulence were problems at Mt. Gox, one of the earliest crypto exchanges. The exchange had stopped withdrawals, then filed for bankruptcy after losing 744,400 bitcoins of users’ funds. Interestingly, Bitcoin’s price trends appeared to mimic those of the stock market from Nov. 2021 through June 2022, suggesting that the market was treating it like a stock. It similarly followed this trend through most of 2023. @mytradingsetup Go to the Crypto section in-app and choose to buy Bitcoin or any of the 150+ other crypto tokens available with USD.

  18. sorry we quit because were gonna try to play a forum game Code: Select all Roulette wheels are not cheap LOL (LifeofLeisure). Most people get them used. Mine is used. Not sure about buying direct. If a used one is 2.5K- 5K USD, then I can’t imagine what a new one would be. Personally, I would rather buy a car. You should also note that somewhat complicated types are pretty common in the Rust embedded world. Debugging embedded software can be pretty tough, and things are often resource constrained. Consequently, people often make use of type-level programming techniques to encode invariants in the type system, so that they can be checked by the compiler. That turns run-time errors into compile-time errors, which can be a life saver. Hello and thanks for starting a thread in the Gambling Therapy forums

    By Dipthi Janga In DirectX, 2D graphics are part of the 3D pipeline. There is a much greater variety of screen resolutions and graphics hardware available, and your 2D graphics engine must be able to support them without a significant change in fidelity. “Honestly, without GameMaker, I probably wouldn’t even have gotten to the hobby stage of game development. It gave me an approachable way to get into game dev and realise my ideas, that I otherwise couldn’t have.” Since a 2D game is a complex multi-component product, the team will consist of more people: game designers, artists, animators, developers, testers, project managers and interface artists. Instead of collecting these specialists separately, it is better to find a 2D game development company that provides outsourcing services. He will select the right team for your needs and you will be able to start the process of creating a game immediately without downtime.
