Oil Theft: FG May Revoke Licence of Indicted Banks

President Muhammadu Buhari had said in Abuja that the government has already identified banks and other financial institutions that took in deposits from proceeds of oil theft.

The Need for Non-Oil Sector Development

The current state of oil prices in the international market is a divine blessing for Nigeria. It represents a unique opportunity for Nigeria to re-discover itself and diversify its sources of national revenue or slump into deeper financial crisis and poverty. It has been proven in the lives of individuals, organisations and nations, that certain negative experiences or consequences spurred them to innovations and critical thinking, and led them to greater heights. It is our hope that such could become of our own country.
