Amaechi Moves Against PHCN Monopoly
The Rivers State Governor, Rt. Hon. Chibuike Amaechi has renewed his call on the Federal Government to urgently review the current monopoly enjoyed by Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN) on power distribution in the country.
Amaechi made the call when members of the National Institute for Policy and Strategic Studies (NIPSS), Kuru, Jos, paid him a courtesy call to submit their tour report on Rivers and Jigawa States in Port Harcourt.
Amaechi maintained that the review was impeartive if the country must meet the growing electricity needs of Nigerians.
The governor, who was represented by his Deputy, Engr Tele Ikuru said Rivers State was independently generating 400 megawatts of power supply while PHCN was distributing only 220 megawatts.
Director-General of NIPSS, Professor Mohammed Manda, had expressed worry over the current poor power generation by PHCN in the country which he said, works against proper socio-economic development of the nation, particularly in her bid to meet the 2020 Vision.
He said the timely review of the regulatory policy would guarantee improved and steady power distribution in the country.
It would be recalled that Governor Amaechi has consistently expressed the need for the review of PHCN monopoly as to encourage states like Rivers who are zealous to generate power through independent initiative to meet the needs of the state’s socio-economic ambition.

Dangote Refinery Resumes Gantry Self-Collection Sales, Tuesday
This is revealed in an email communication from the Group Commercial Operations Department of the company, and obtained by Newsmen, at the Weekend.
The company explained that while gantry access is being reinstated, the free delivery service remains operational, with marketers encouraged to continue registering their outlets for direct supply at no additional cost.
The statement said “in reference to the earlier email communication on the suspension of the PMS self-collection gantry sales, please note that we will be resuming the self-collection gantry sales on the 23rd of September, 2025”.
Dangote Petroleum Refinery also apologised to its partners for any inconvenience the suspension may have caused, while assuring stakeholders of its commitment to improving efficiency and ensuring seamless supply.
“Meanwhile, please be informed that we are aggressively delivering on the free delivery scheme, and it is still open for registration. We encourage you to register your stations and pay for the product to be delivered directly to you for free. We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding,” it added.
It would be recalled that in September 18, 2025, Dangote refinery had suspended gantry-based self-collection of petroleum products at its depot. The move was designed to accelerate the adoption of its Free Delivery Scheme, which guarantees direct shipments of petroleum products to registered retail outlets across Nigeria.
The refinery stressed that the earlier decision was an operational adjustment aimed at streamlining efficiency in the downstream supply chain.
