Daniel Bwala, Atiku Abubakar’s former aide, has decamped to the All Progressive Congress.

This comes weeks after President Tinubu appointed him as his special adviser on media and public communication then later changed his portfolio to SA on policy communication.

In a post on his X (former twitter) page, Bwala posted a picture of him at the APC media centre and captioned it ‘Sweet Home’.

This however, is a fulfillment of the prediction of many after the former PDP apologist accepted to serve the APC government.

Meanwhile, Bwala used to be with the APC before he left for the camp of Atiku’s PDP during the 2023 presidential election campaign.

The Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) has confirmed that Nigeria remains the largest oil producer in Africa.

In its latest monthly report on Wednesday, OPEC stated that Nigeria’s oil output rose in November to 1.48 million barrels per day (bpd), up from 1.33 million bpd in October.

The oil cartel noted that this production figure was the highest in Africa for October, with Nigeria maintaining its top position on the continent in the following month.

OPEC reported that in November, Nigeria surpassed Algeria, which produced 908,000 bpd, followed by Congo, which had an output of 268,000 bpd.

OPEC clarified that its data is based on direct communication, adding that secondary sources indicated Nigeria’s crude production increased to 1.417 million bpd in November, slightly up from 1.4 million bpd in October.

“According to secondary sources, total OPEC-12 crude oil production averaged 26.66 mb/d in November 2024, which is 104 tb/d higher, m-o-m,” OPEC stated.

“Crude oil output increased mainly in Libya, IR Iran, and Nigeria, while production in Iraq, Venezuela, and Kuwait saw a decline.”

Similarly, total non-OPEC DoC crude oil production averaged 14.01 mb/d in November 2024, an increase of 219 tb/d month-on-month. Output in Kazakhstan and Malaysia saw significant growth.

On the same day, the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC) reported that Nigeria’s crude oil production rose to 1.69 million bpd in November, up from 1.53 million bpd in October.

• Join the Movement to Build a Culture of Proper Waste Segregation and Disposal in Lagos.

As part of its efforts to promote a cleaner, greener, and healthier environment, The Architects Place Ltd In conjunction with the Ministry of Environment and Water Resources has launched an initiative to provide proper waste disposal bins across the state.

The initiative, which is aimed at building a culture of proper waste segregation and disposal, is designed to encourage residents, businesses, and institutions to properly dispose their waste and recyclables.

The proper waste disposal bins, which are designed to accommodate different types of waste, including recyclables, organics, and non-recyclable waste, will be strategically located in public spaces, markets, and other high-traffic areas.

This will help to reduce the amount of waste that ends up in landfills and waterways, improving environmental health and reducing the risk of disease. By providing separate bins for recyclables, the initiative will encourage residents and businesses to recycle more, reducing waste and conserving natural resources.

We urge all residents, businesses, and institutions in Lagos to join us in this effort to build a culture of proper waste segregation and disposal. Together, we can make a difference and create a cleaner, greener, and healthier environment for all.

For more information on the proper waste disposal bin initiative, please contact:
