Natasha’s Constituents Submit Petition To INEC For Her Recall

Fola Badmus02 mins

The suspended Kogi Central Senator, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, has returned to her office in the National Assembly. This followed the reopening of her office in the National Assembly by the Sergeant at Arms of the National Assembly, along with a combined team of security operatives. There was mild drama at the National Assembly complex on Tuesday following Natasha’s arrival. The lawmaker, dressed in black, arrived at about 2:30 pm in the company of her supporters, shortly after the Sergeant-at-Arms announced the reopening of her office, which had been sealed for months. However, her entry was initially resisted by some security operatives who prevented her from accessing the main building. The Senate is currently on recess and is expected to resume plenary on October 7, 2025. The unsealing of Natasha’s office is an indication that the suspended lawmaker may soon resume her official duties as a senator as lawmakers prepares to resume plenary on October 7, 2025. Natasha had made an allegation of sexual harassment against the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio. The office had remained locked for six months, following Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan’s suspension by the Senate in March over alleged violations of its standing rules. Her suspension had sparked widespread reactions, with many, particularly civil society organisations and opposition politicians, condemning the Senate’s action. She approached the court in July over the matter and made an unsuccessful attempt to resume sitting.

Nigeria Meets 96% of OPEC Quota In August

Fola Badmus03 mins

By Prince Iroka Nigeria’s upstream oil sector recorded a year-on-year increase in output, averaging 1.63 million barrels per day (bopd) of crude oil and condensates in August 2025, up from 1.58 million bopd in the same period last year. This is based on Crude Oil and Condensate Production for August 2025, released by the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC) at the weekend. A breakdown of August 2025 production comprises 1.43 million bopd of crude oil, which grew 5.47 per cent compared to August last year, which posted a daily crude oil average of 1.36 million bopd. This reflects a steady recovery and improved operational performance across the industry. Daily condensate production in August stood at 197,229 bpd, reflecting a slight decline from 220,435 bpd in August 2024. Notably, Nigeria’s crude oil output in August met 96 per cent of its OPEC quota, which is set at 1.5 million bopd. This demonstrates the country’s capacity to meet its production targets under the OPEC agreement. On a month-on-month basis, there was a slight 4.7 per cent drop in combined crude oil and condensate production from 1.71 million bopd in July. Similarly, crude oil production itself declined by 4.8 per cent, down from 1.5 million bopd in July 2025. The month-on-month drop was driven by a single day unscheduled maintenance at an oil facility. In the month of August, the lowest and peak combined crude and condensate production were 1.59 million bopd and 1.85 million bopd respectively. In the review month, Forcados Terminal topped the production charts, delivering a total of 8.99 million barrels, including 8.08 million barrels of crude oil and 915.2k barrels of condensates. Following closely was Bonny Terminal, which produced a combined 6.26 million barrels, consisting of 5.8 million barrels of crude and 418.27k barrels of condensates. Meanwhile, Qua Iboe Terminal recorded a total of 4.99 million barrels, with 4.94 million barrels of crude and 50.5k barrels of condensates. Escravos Oil Terminal also made a solid contribution, producing 4.18 million barrels, comprised of 4.08 million barrels of crude oil and 107k barrels of condensate.
