#65 ATM bank charges takes off. Today, I remember Sanusi Lamido Sanusi. Love or loathe him, he remains one of the finest public servants Nigeria has ever seen. Pls, read a part of his famous speech on vested interests below. ...There are people in this country that produced pieces of paper and brought to PPPRA and somebody stamped those pieces of paper and said they brought in petroleum products and actually paid them subsidy. And those pieces of paper said I brought 30,000 metric tones on so so ship, and we discovered that the said ship was nowhere near the coast of Nigeria on that date. We have seen vessels that did not even exist – that had been retired – on bills of landing and money has been paid. And you know what? None of them as I speak to you has gone to jail. This is the only country in the world where you have something called oil theft. Where vessels can simply come and take crude oil and literally just drive out of the country. You see the numbers every day 100,000, 200,000, 400,000 barrels a day, nobody even knows. 7.3 billion naira. How does anybody take oil in a vessel and leave the country? We’ve got the Navy, we’ve got NIMASA, we’ve got security services, you’ve got the oil companies themselves. And every day we complain about the lack of development. We don’t have development because Vested Interests continue to rape this country and continue to take the money out. I miss you in our public life sir. Wish you well in the service of your people, King Sanusi.
