Former military President Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida is unbothered by rumour of his sickness and death. He told reporters at his Hilltop Mansion in Minna, the Niger State capital that:

“The rumour does not shock me; neither does it bother me because I know I must go and meet God, my creator. There is nothing really to worry about, my religion has told me.

“As a Muslim, I strongly believe everybody will die, everybody will die and everybody has to die. It could be now or in hundred years’ time or two days to come but it doesn’t matter. Everybody must die.”

74yrs old Gen. Babangida said nobody is above illness or death because it has been destined by God.

There were rumours last week that the General was critically ill or might have passed on. But in his time with some reporters on Sunday, he looked very okay.

On the state of the nation, Babangida, who led the country between 1985 and 1993, expressed optimism that Nigeria will surmount its challenges, adding that the future of the country is bright and that it has a lot for the younger generation.

“I still believe very strongly in this country, which is further demonstrated by the people of this great nation because they are a very industrious people, hardworking. That gives me the hope for Nigeria.”

The Minister of State for Petroleum Resources and Group Managing Director of NNPC, Dr. Ibe Kachikwu, has announced that the Port Harcourt Refining Company and the Warri Refining and Petrochemical Company are now producing a combined volume of seven million litres of petrol daily.

The PHRC now produces 5 million litres of petrol, while WRPC produces 2 million litres daily.

Kachikwu, in a statement on Sunday, said this while reopening the Bonny-Port Harcourt crude pipeline.

The minister said in the statement that the government was doing all it could to clear the queues, as he noted that the Kaduna Refining and Petrochemical Company was also scheduled to start production any moment from now.

Kachikwu said the coming on stream of the three refineries would go a long way in ensuring sufficient supply and distribution of petrol across the country.

“Port Harcourt is back in production; Warri is back in production; Kaduna, as of today, is receiving crude and will soon be back in production. Lagos is easing off now from fuel scarcity and Abuja is doing the same thing; and once Kaduna begins production, the North will see a lot of improvement.”
