President Muhammadu Buhari has lamented a loss of $50bn worth of investments in the petroleum industry since 2011 due to the absence of the Petroleum Industry Act.
Buhari made this assertion in Abuja on Wednesday at a ceremony on passage of the PIA, which preceded the Federal Executive Council meeting.
Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, disclosed this in a statement titled ‘Nigeria Lost Estimated $50bn worth of Investments In 10 Years Due To Stagnation, Uncertainty Over Petroleum Industry, Says President Buhari’.
According to the President, the loss was due to the uncertainty of non-passage of the Petroleum Industry Bill, lack of progress and stagnation in the petroleum industry which he blamed on the lack of political will on the part of past administrations to actualise the needed transformation.
The President said assent to the Petroleum Industry Bill on August 16, 2021, marked the end of decades of uncertainty and under-investment in Nigeria’s petroleum industry.

He said, “We are all aware that past administrations have identified the need to further align the industry for global competitiveness, but there was a lack of political will to actualise this needed transformation.
“This lack of progress has stagnated the growth of the industry and the prosperity of our economy. In the past 10 years, Nigeria has lost an estimated $50bn worth of investments due to uncertainty created by the non-passage of the PIB.

“This administration believes that the timely passage of the Petroleum Industry Bill will help our country attract investments across the oil and gas value chain.
“In view of the value our nation and investors will derive from a stable fiscal framework for the oil and gas industry, our administration has found it necessary to work with the two chambers of the National Assembly to ensure the passage of the PIB.’’
The president noted that the signing of the bill was part of the administration’s commitment to building a competitive and resilient petroleum industry that will attract investment, improve revenue base, create jobs and support the economic diversification agenda.
He added that the PIA became necessary because Nigeria runs a petroleum industry that is governed largely by laws enacted over 50 years ago such as the principal legislation; the Petroleum Act of 1969 and other outmoded legislations.
He appealed to host communities to accept the new regulation, saying that it would bring lasting benefits to them.

“The Act also provides for a direct benefit framework that will enable the sustainable development of Host Communities. I appeal to the host communities to look carefully at the contents of the Bill which in the implementation will bring real and lasting benefits to them.
“Furthermore, the Act provides for a deliberate end to gas flaring which would facilitate the attainment of Nigeria’s Nationally Determined Contributions of the Paris Agreement through a funding mechanism to support gas flare out of the project in host communities,’’ he added.
While directing the immediate implementation of the framework for the PIA, he urged all relevant stakeholders to comply and reposition for full activation within 12 months.
According to him, the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Timipre Sylva, will head the implementation team, urging all Ministries, Departments and Agencies to adjust to the transition, designed to reposition the economy.
“To consolidate the commitment of this administration to delivering the value proposition of this law, I have approved an implementation framework commencing immediately to ensure the industry envisaged in the new law begins to take shape.

“The implementation process to be headed by the Hon Minister of State, Petroleum Resources is hereby tasked with the completion of the implementation of this act within 12 months. I am therefore directing all relevant Ministries, Departments and Agencies of government to fully cooperate in ensuring the successful and timely implementation of this law,’’ he said.
Buhari further thanked the 9th National Assembly for its demonstration of mutual harmony with the Executive in the passage of the bill.

Sistemas de equilibrado: importante para el desempeno uniforme y eficiente de las dispositivos.
En el mundo de la tecnologia actual, donde la productividad y la confiabilidad del sistema son de gran importancia, los dispositivos de calibracion cumplen un funcion vital. Estos sistemas adaptados estan concebidos para calibrar y asegurar componentes giratorias, ya sea en dispositivos industrial, transportes de transporte o incluso en electrodomesticos de uso diario.
Para los tecnicos en soporte de dispositivos y los ingenieros, operar con dispositivos de ajuste es importante para asegurar el desempeno fluido y seguro de cualquier aparato rotativo. Gracias a estas opciones tecnologicas modernas, es posible limitar considerablemente las oscilaciones, el estruendo y la presion sobre los sujeciones, prolongando la duracion de piezas importantes.
Tambien importante es el rol que cumplen los aparatos de calibracion en la soporte al comprador. El soporte especializado y el mantenimiento regular usando estos dispositivos posibilitan proporcionar prestaciones de gran excelencia, elevando la satisfaccion de los consumidores.
Para los propietarios de emprendimientos, la inversion en estaciones de equilibrado y dispositivos puede ser importante para mejorar la efectividad y desempeno de sus equipos. Esto es especialmente relevante para los inversores que manejan modestas y intermedias empresas, donde cada aspecto vale.
Por otro lado, los equipos de calibracion tienen una amplia aplicacion en el sector de la prevencion y el monitoreo de estandar. Habilitan encontrar posibles defectos, impidiendo mantenimientos onerosas y averias a los equipos. Mas aun, los indicadores generados de estos dispositivos pueden aplicarse para perfeccionar procesos y mejorar la visibilidad en plataformas de investigacion.
Las areas de uso de los dispositivos de calibracion cubren numerosas industrias, desde la elaboracion de bicicletas hasta el monitoreo del medio ambiente. No importa si se habla de extensas producciones industriales o pequenos locales caseros, los aparatos de ajuste son fundamentales para promover un rendimiento eficiente y sin presencia de fallos.
