The Renewed Hope Ambassadors Network (RHAN) has Dangote Refinery for partnering with the Federal Government to bring succour to Nigerians during the Yuletide season.

According to RHAN, President Bola Tinubu has created an enabling environment that has allowed Dangote Refinery to flourish and thrive.

The group said the FG’s flexible and favourable economic policies have been instrumental in Dangote Refinery’s decision to slash the price of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS).

In a statement signed by its President, Dr. Sunday Thomas Abutu, the group said the move has provided significant relief to citizens, who have been facing economic challenges in recent times.

Abutu said the Federal Government’s support for Dangote Refinery is proof to its commitment to creating a business-friendly environment that encourages investment and growth.

He noted that by providing incentives and policies that support industries like oil and gas, the government has enabled Dangote Refinery to thrive, ultimately benefiting the Nigerian people.

The statement added: “The Renewed Hope Ambassadors Network (RHAN) lauds the remarkable partnership of Dangote Petroleum Refinery with MRS to sell petrol from its retail outlets nationwide at N935 per litre.

“We also commend Dangote Refinery for reducing the price of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) from N970 to N899.50 at its Refinery loading gantry and providing generous credit terms to marketers.

“Dangote Refinery’s ongoing efforts to collaborate with various players in the value chain to provide high-quality petrol at lower prices deserve significant praise. This initiative had delivered Nigerian masses to the promised land. In contrast to the past, when Nigerians faced fuel scarcity and price hikes during the holiday season, they are now relieved and satisfied at the filling stations thanks to Dangote’s commitment.

“The benefits of the petrol price reduction are enormous including reduced transportation costs. Lower fuel prices will promote economic growth by reducing production costs and increasing demand for goods and services. This decrease in fuel prices will also lower the cost of living, allowing Nigerians to afford basic necessities and improve their quality of life.

“The Dangote Refineey since coming on board has changed the narrative in the oil and gas sector of our economy. Nigeria which had not earned a penny from crude oil in the last 8 years has started importing fuel to some countries. Our economy is doing better because of the presence of the Dangote Refinery.

“In light of the above, we applaud our leader, the father of the Nation, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu for collaborating with Dangote Refinery for the greater good of Nigerians. The President’s partnership with Dangote Refinery, which has introduced healthy competition in the market, will further encourage additional investments in our oil and gas industry.

“We also call upon stakeholders in the oil and gas sector, as well as Nigerians at large, to support Dangote Refinery in its efforts to provide high quality petroleum products that are good for their vehicles, good for their health, and good for their pockets.”

Christmas celebrations in Kogi East have taken a joyous turn as families across the region received massive distributions of rice, spicy seasoning and salt courtesy of Senator Isah Jibrin Echocho. The gesture, described by beneficiaries as timely and Godsent, has brought smiles to countless faces as they prepare for the festive season.

Grateful constituents showered the senator with accolades and prayers, expressing their appreciation for his thoughtful intervention. Represented by his Senior Legislative Aide, Danlami Sabo, Senator Echocho reaffirmed his commitment to the welfare and well-being of the people of Kogi East.

“We shall continue to show our commitment to your welfare and well-being,” Senator Echocho assured. He emphasized that the distribution was part of his dedication to supporting the people whose unwavering backing has been instrumental to his success.

In addition, the senator seized the opportunity to commend the state governor, Alhaji Ahmed Usman Ododo, for his compassionate leadership and the early release of workers’ salaries ahead of the statutory time. “This is good governance defined by compassion,” Echocho added, lauding the governor’s efforts to ensure a smooth festive period for civil servants and residents alike.

The rice distribution initiative has further solidified the senator’s reputation as a leader deeply invested in the lives of his constituents, making this Christmas a truly bountiful one for many families in Kogi East.

*Calls on Agents of Destabilisation to Give Up on Nigeria

The Renewed Hope Ambassadors Network (RHAN) has commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for appointing Lt. Gen. Olufemi Oluyede as the Chief of Army Staff (COAS), citing his impressive resume and extensive experience as reasons for the endorsement.

The group said Lt. Gen. Oluyede’s background is marked by exceptional leadership skills, demonstrated during his tenure as commander of the infantry corps, where he coordinated ground assaults and ensured the success of various military operations. 

In a statement signed by Comrade Abba Abubakar, its Director of Publicity, the Network expressed confidence in Lt. Gen. Oluyede’s ability to bring his expertise and integrity to bear in his new role, ensuring the continued safety and security of Nigeria.

Abubakar vowed that the group will support the Nigerian Army under Oluyede’s leadership to defeat all the enemies of Nigeria waging war against the country particularly in Northern Nigeria.

He noted that to them, the COAS is a well known nationalist who has used his previous positions to the benefit of all troops.

They praised his commitment to soldiers’ welfare, emphasis on better accommodation, equipment, and training, and promise to implement new strategies to improve operational effectiveness.

The Renewed Hope Ambassadors Network called on agents of destabilisation to give up on Nigeria, citing the appointment of Lt. Gen. Oluyede as a clear indication of President Tinubu’s dedication to the country’s security and prosperity.

They urged all Nigerians to support the new COAS and the Armed forces in their efforts to maintain peace and stability in the country.

“We, the Renewed Hope Ambassadors Network, commend President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for appointing Lt. Gen. Olufemi Oluyede as the Chief of Army Staff (COAS). This appointment is another proof of President Tinubu’s commitment to assembling the best heads in the nation’s security forces to lead the Armed forces,” Abubakar said. 

“Lt. Gen. Oluyede’s impressive resume and extensive experience make him an excellent choice for the position. As the former commander of the infantry corps, he demonstrated exceptional leadership skills, coordinating ground assaults and ensuring the success of various military operations.

“His participation in international missions, such as the ECOMOG mission in Liberia, and his experience in the North East theatre, commanding the 27 Task Force Brigade in Operation HADIN KAI, further solidify his credentials.

“We are confident that Lt. Gen. Oluyede will bring his expertise and integrity to bear in his new role, ensuring the continued safety and security of Nigeria. His commitment to soldiers’ welfare, emphasis on better accommodation, equipment, and training, and promise to implement new strategies to improve operational effectiveness, are all commendable.

“We call on agents of destabilisation to give up on Nigeria, as the appointment of Lt. Gen. Oluyede is a clear indication of President Tinubu’s dedication to the country’s security and prosperity. We urge all Nigerians to support the new COAS and the Armed forces in their efforts to maintain peace and stability in the country.

“As Lt. Gen. Olufemi Oluyede takes on his new role as the Chief of Army Staff, he must remain focused on his vision for a stronger, more formidable military. His commitment to soldiers’ welfare, better accommodation, equipment, and training will undoubtedly boost their morale and effectiveness in combating crime. The task ahead is daunting, but with his leadership and expertise, the Nigerian Army can achieve great things.

“To achieve his goals, Lt. Gen. Oluyede must stay vigilant and adaptable, navigating the complex security landscape of Nigeria.  President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has demonstrated his commitment to assembling the best heads in the nation’s security forces, and we urge him to continue this trend.”
