76 DISPUTED OIL WELLS | AKWA-IBOM, CROSS-RIVER TANGO AGAIN

In the JIGSAW | 29 JULY 2025 | AIT LIVE interview segment, the guest speaker zeroed in on the 76 disputed oil wells between Cross River State and Akwa Ibom State, offering a detailed and impassioned perspective:

Core Issues Raised:

• The guest reaffirmed Cross River State’s claim to the oil wells, citing historical and legal precedents, including the 2002 International Court of Justice (ICJ) judgment and the 2008 Green Tree Agreement.
• They criticized federal agencies like the National Boundary Commission and Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC) for allegedly applying biased technical criteria that reassigned the wells to Akwa Ibom without proper consultation.
• A major point was that Cross River was excluded from a key 2008 retreat in Kano, where the reassignment decision was made, despite having no prior boundary dispute with Akwa Ibom.

Restoring What Was Lost: Cross River’s Case for the 67 Oil Wells

In a bid to reclaim control over 67 disputed oil wells, Cross River State officials are intensifying their campaign to redress a long-standing boundary controversy with neighboring Akwa Ibom. At the heart of the issue lies a potent mix of historical grievance, newly uncovered technical data, and a strategic push for economic justice.

Documented Evidence and Technical Maps

Cross River’s claim hinges on findings from a 2024 reassessment led by the Nigeria Upstream Regulatory Commission and the National Boundary Commission. Leveraging the 11th Edition of Nigeria’s Administrative Map and the 2004 Well Dichotomy Study Map, the inter-agency committee concluded that the wells fall within Cross River’s maritime territory. The state has called for public scrutiny of these documents and invited independent verification.

Nigeria’s Bold Proposal: Can Banning Public Servants from Private Schools and Hospitals Transform Public Trust?

In 2025, Nigeria’s House of Representatives shook the national discourse with a provocative bill: the Private Institutions and Health Care Service Providers (Prohibition) Bill. Sponsored by Hon. Amobi Ogah from Abia State, the bill seeks to ban public and civil servants and their families from patronizing private schools, hospitals, and seeking medical attention abroad.

Supporters hail it as a transformative move to reinvest in public systems. Detractors warn of rights violations and systemic strain. But one thing is clear: Nigeria is asking hard questions about leadership accountability and the social contract.

Dangote Retires As Chairman Of Dangote Cement

-SPECIAL REPORT –

A New Chapter for Dangote Cement: From Visionary Founder to Governance-Led Growth

In a major corporate milestone, Aliko Dangote, Africa’s richest man and the driving force behind Dangote Cement Plc, has officially stepped down as Chairman of the Board as of July 25, 2025. The decision marks a deliberate pivot from founder-led leadership to a more independent and governance-driven era.

Leadership Transition

Taking the reins is Emmanuel Ikazoboh, a seasoned corporate strategist and independent non-executive director. He succeeds Dangote with a strong commitment to operational excellence and strategic expansion. Also joining the board is Mariya Aliko Dangote, while Prof. Dorothy Ufot makes her exit, further refreshing the company’s leadership landscape.

Ikazoboh, in his acceptance remarks, praised Dangote Cement as a beacon of African enterprise and laid out a clear vision centered on:

·       Operational Efficiency

·       Sustainable Growth

·       Innovation & Technology

·       Community Engagement

Strategic Vision: Governance with Purpose

Unlike Dangote’s personal, visionary style, Ikazoboh's leadership is rooted in structured governance, accountability, and transparent decision-making. His past roles, ranging from Group Chairman of Ecobank Transnational Inc. to capital market reforms at the Nigerian Stock Exchange, reflect a deep understanding of corporate sustainability and pan-African professionalism.

This transition positions Dangote Cement to attract institutional investors, streamline regulatory compliance, and expand its regional footprint, especially as the company continues to report record revenues, like the ₦2.07 trillion earned in H1 2025.

Cultural Evolution: Empowering the Workforce

The ripple effect of this shift will likely be felt in the company's internal culture:

·       Employee Empowerment: With an emphasis on training and development, staff can expect more career growth opportunities.

·       Innovation Mindset: Sustainability and tech adoption will foster creativity and forward-thinking practices.

·       Inclusion & Community: Greater focus on collaboration and empathy could enhance morale and retention.

By moving from a founder-centric ethos to a resilient, institutionally governed framework, Dangote Cement is recalibrating its identity, not just who leads the company, but how decisions are made and values upheld.

As African corporations evolve in complexity and reach, this change at Dangote Cement may well serve as a blueprint for governance transformation across emerging markets.

Making Peace with Mismatched Libidos in Relationships

Intimacy on Different Frequencies: Making Peace with Mismatched Libidos in Relationships

While fairy tales often suggest that couples naturally “sync up” on everything, including sex, the reality is much more layered. Mismatched libidos are one of the most common intimacy struggles couples face. And though it can feel deeply personal, even threatening, to both partners, it doesn’t have to be a crisis.

In fact, this mismatch can be a catalyst for better understanding, renewed emotional intimacy, and lasting partnership if approached with openness, empathy, and creativity.

Understanding What Libido Actually Means

Libido isn’t just about how often someone wants sex. It’s shaped by emotional needs, lifestyle habits, psychological wiring, and physical health. For example:

• Spontaneous vs. Responsive desire: One partner might feel arousal out of the blue, while the other needs emotional or physical connection first.
• Attachment styles: Someone with an anxious attachment may interpret rejection as abandonment, while an avoidant type may shut down under pressure.

The Power of AI Influencers: Transforming Education, Activism, and Economies Worldwide

In an age where artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping the fabric of society, a new class of change-makers is emerging: AI influencers.
