It also promised to pass the Petroleum Industry Bill(PIB) before May 29, 2020.

The Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Chief Timipre Sylva, stated these to reporters in Abuja on Thursday.

Asked whether government was going to reduce the pump prices of the Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) to make it more affordable, the minister said that there were plans to provide an alternative fuel that is cheaper.

He disclosed the fuel CNG has undergone a pilot project in Benin City where over 10,000 vehicles are already running on it.

With CNG, Sylva said that the cost of fuel will reduce to about N95 per litre.

According to him: “What we have decided is that we should try and give the masses an alternative. This will move the masses to CNG.

“That is transport vehicles for example, out of the PMS loop to be using the CNG. CNG cost less that the subsidised PMS. Per liter the subsidized rate of the PMS is N145 per litre. CNG will cost about N95 to N97 per litre.”

Sylva posited that Nigerians will never experience fuel scarcity again.

Asked to comment on the $62b court settlement payment that Nigeria is expecting from the IoC, he explained that the process is such a cumbersome one to analyse because it was a long time that $20 per barrel ceased to be a windfall.

He submitted that from the look of things of the reconciliation of the time it ceased to be for the companies and since it was not a stolen fund stacked somewhere, the federal government and the companies simply have to settle it amicably.

He said that “there is no $62 billion anywhere that any company can pay.”

According to him, the industry has been stagnant for a very long time owing to the non passage of the bill, which the ministry has now planned to lobby the National Assembly to pass in bulk.

He lamented that the Nigerian petroleum industry has not moved forward, noting that at his first appearance in the industry the country was already producing 2million barrel per day and projecting to produce 4million barrel per day by this time.

He recalled that then the United Arab Emirates was producing 2.7million barrel per day.

According to him, the UEA has progressed to 4million per day while OPEC says Nigeria today’s production is 1.774million barrel per day.

Enumerating the benefits that Nigeria will reap from the passage of the legislation, he said that it would create an enabling environment for investors to come into the industry.

With the passage of the bill, the minister said that the incorporation of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) and its Joint Ventures will become possible.

He added that with the legislation in place, it would become possible to conduct a major bid rounds, which its proceeds can be channeled into project development.

The minister noted: “Counting on the current harmony between the legislation and executive, we are optimistic that both the Petroleum Industry Administration and the Petroleum Industry Fiscal Bill on the other hand will be passed within the first anniversary of this administration.

“We want to progress the consideration and passage of the overall petroleum and legislation. The team working in the PIB is on the final of the harmonization of the different versions from 2000 to date (2009, 2012 and 2018).”

Sylva earlier dropped the hint of the ministry’s plan to bring the petroleum industry closer to common man in the country. He said that plans are already underway to make the fuel more affordable and accessible by the common man.

@DrOlufunmilayo tweeted: “I just read of a man who was accused of murder of his 31year old female partner. On doing autopsy: It was found she had very high levels of alcohol and Flagyl in her system which caused her heart to have an irregular beat that killed her. Lesson: NEVER TAKE ALCOHOL WITH FLAGYL.”

He added: “Doctors generally ALWAYS say you must stay away from alcohol while taking any medications. But Flagyl- wether as tablets or as cream- is known to be quite notorious when used together with alcohol, or within 3 days of drinking alcohol. It can cause very dangerous side effects.

“The interesting thing is people generally don’t even know when they do these things. Sometimes you take the Flagyl in the afternoon/evening and later at night go to party at a club and take alcohol- forgetting totally you took Flagyl earlier in the day. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS.

“As a matter of fact, the standard medical advice is even that you should stay away FOR 3 DAYS after finishing the Flagyl before you even go near alcohol at all. It can damage your liver, ruin your heart, cause you serious stomach upset, give you irregular heartbeat and kill you.”

A powerful CV is all you need to gain the attention of a potential employer. By that, you have a higher chance of getting that job. But wait a minute, ever seen a perfect CV? That is blatantly impossible. However, you can work toward perfection with these tips that would be disclosed in this article.

The problem most at times is not the inability to write a great CV, but knowledge of what your CV should contain. You might even find yourself wondering, should I include a reference? How do I list employment gaps? By knowing what to do, you cut down on these hurdles. Here are the five most important things to include in your CV. If you get this right, you will gain an edge over other candidates. Are you ready?

1. Job Description Keywords

Gone are the days when hiring managers scrabble through mountainous CVs in search of the perfect employee. Today, they simply save themselves the hassle by using the Application Tracking System (ATS). It is a highly sophisticated system that helps employers become efficient in hiring new employees. With this software, CVs can be ranked based on specific keywords found in the job description.

So, make sure to incorporate relevant keywords as you prepare your CV. A word of caution, the keywords shouldn’t be stuffed. They should appear naturally throughout your resume. Trying to cheat the system will only get your CV to the recycle bin.

2. Professional Title

As you carefully craft your CV, make sure your job goals are bold and bright. You do this by including the professional title at the top, boldly stating the position you’re eyeing. For instance, you can be something like; “Sales Manager” or “Senior Accounting Manager.” At a glance, the hiring manager would be able to tell the position you’re applying for.

3. Skills, Certification, and Credentials

If you have an essential certification that would prove to be an asset in your job, then you should highlight them at the top. Certifications like an MBA or RN often do the trick of wowing hiring managers. Include it close to your name, and it will be a bait; your potential employer won’t turn down. After all, they are looking to hire the best talent in the market.

If you also have other certifications or degrees that are not much of an asset, still include then in your resume. But make sure the important ones are on top and very visible.

4. Work Experience

If you have been working in the industry, making sure to include your work experience would be brilliant. It convinces your hiring manager that you’ve got both the qualifications and the experience. With that, arresting that job is almost assured. State empirically your previous position, your impact on the workforce, and what you plan to achieve if employed. It is a vital aspect of your resume that you shouldn’t joke with. To many, it is the selling point!

5. Profile and Personal Statements

Although you aren’t a business person, you must act like one if you must come home smiling. Every businessperson has something he or she is selling. In your case, you are selling nothing but your skills. Hook your hiring manager with a perfect sales pitch. This section should be right after your contact details and address. Your sales pitch is what will determine if they are to take you seriously or not.

When selling yourself, include bombs that would hit your hiring manager pretty hard. Include industries you’ve worked for, your high-level skills, and numerous problems that you have solved for your previous employers or aim to solve. Do this well, and you’ll get yourself a job.

Wrapping Up!

Getting a job isn’t rocket science. The more you try, the more you learn and upgrade your resume. The aim is to keep learning and implementing useful tips until you hit the jackpot. By knowing that companies are after the best, you will be able to create the best persona for them, without an atom of a lie. Good Luck!
