NNPC Ltd: Court declares Ararume’s sack illegal

Uncle Ifeanyi

The Federal High Court, Abuja has declared the sack of Sen. Ifeanyi Ararume as Non-Executive Chairman of the Nigeria National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) as illegal and unlawful.

Delivering judgment in the matter on Tuesday, Justice Inyang Ekwo said that his removal was unconstitutional and as such the court restored him as the Non- Executive Chairman of the company with full benefits.

The judge also set aside every decision taken by the board that was appointed after Ararume’s removal.

Justice Ekwo awarded N5 billion as damages in favour of Ararume.

The News Agency of Nigeria, (NAN) reports that Ararume sued the Federal Government, praying the court to declare his sack as NNPC board chairman illegal, unlawful and unconstitutional.

He contended that his removal by vide letter Jan. 17, 2022 with reference number SGF. 3V111/86 was a violation of the CAMA law under which NNPCL was incorporated.

Apart from asking the court to issue an order to return him to office, Ararume also demanded for N100 billion as compensation for the damages he suffered following the unlawful removal. (NAN)

Near the southern part of Wakkanai City, Hokkaido Approximately 80 mm per hour “Record short-time heavy rain information” (tenki.jp)

北海道稚内市南部付近で猛烈な雨宗谷地方では局地的に雨雲が発達しています。レーダーの解析で、稚内市南部付近では、4日1時40分までの1時間に約80ミリの猛烈な雨が降ったとみられ、「記録的短時間大雨情報」が発表されました。 稚内市、利尻町(リシリチョウ)、利尻富士町(リシリフジチョウ)には土砂災害警戒情報が発表されています。明け方まで大雨による土砂災害や低い土地の浸水、川の増水に警戒してください。土砂災害や浸水の危険のある場所にお住まいの方は、あらかじめ決めておいた避難場所まで移動することがかえって危険な場合もあります。そのような場合は、近隣のより安全な場所や2階以上の部屋など、少しでも安全な場所へ移動しましょう。 【追記】記録的短時間大雨情報 猿払村(サルフツムラ)浅茅野(アサジノ)付近 1時50分までの1時間に約87ミリ 猿払村(サルフツムラ)付近 2時までの1時間に約100ミリいつ避難する? タイミングは?土砂災害や川の増水などの災害は、急に発生して、一気に被害が広がるため、避難が遅れると、命にかかわります。 そこで、避難のタイミングが重要です。警戒レベル3の場合、高齢者や障害のある方などは、安全な所へ避難しましょう。警戒レベル4では、対象地域の方は、全員速やかに避難してください。警戒レベル5になると、すでに災害が発生している状況ですので、命を守る行動が必要です。警戒レベル5になってからでは、安全な避難が難しい場合がありますので、早めの避難が必要です。 天気が荒れてしまうと、道路状況が悪くなったり、暴風で物が飛んできたりするなど、避難の際の危険度が高まります。避難指示や避難勧告が出されていなくても、少しでも危険を感じたら、自ら避難しましょう。不安を感じたら、その時が避難のタイミングです。「自主的に、早めに、安全な所へ避難する」という防災意識をもって、避難する際は、近所の方々にも声をかけ、複数で行動してください。
