Few days before the rumoured wedding, Twitter was agog with memes and tweets of  the President taking a second wife which was not refuted by official quarters. The wedding was supposed to have been planned on Friday, 11 October, but the Twitter account of Sadiya Farouq displayed she was away in the Swiss city of Geneva from Thursday, where she led Nigeria’s delegation at a meeting of the United Nations refugees agency.

She did not return to Nigeria until Tuesday, based on what she posted on the same account.

On 14^th July 2017, at a Presidency Quarterly Business Forum in Abuja, the then Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola explained that Nigeria had no choice than to give power to certain countries as some of the rivers that sustain our main source of power supply, the Kainji Dam, flow from these countries. So, in exchange for not damming those rivers and preventing them from flowing into Kainji, the countries got, well, mandatory supply of electricity from Nigeria.

According to link.springer.com Nigeria has; Old Port Harcourt Refinery; capacity 60,000 bpsd commissioned in 1965, Warri Refining and Petrochemical Company; capacity 125,000 bpsd commissioned in 1978, Kaduna Refining and Petrochemical Company; capacity 110,000 bpsd commissioned in 1980, New Port Harcourt Refinery; capacity 150,000 bpsd commissioned in 1989.

Thus, the total installed capacity is 445,000 bpsd. These plants in the last 15–20 years had a poor operating record with average capacity utilization hovering between 15 and 25% per annum. As a result, 70–80% of the national petroleum products demand is met through import. As at 2017, the aggregate demand of petroleum products in Nigeria was equivalent to 750,000 bpsd.

Presently, a small percentage of production can only be refined domestically as refining capacity is very low and barely enough to meet local demand. As such, Nigeria relies heavily on refined fuel importation.
