Christopher Sunday Eta - Boki/Ikom Federal Constituency).
Question put and agreed to.
Report laid.
7. Xccd to Appraise the Combat Readiness, Regimentation, Order and Welfare of the Xigcrian Armed
Forces:
Motion made and Question proposed:
The House:
Recognizes the services, contributions and dedication of men of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic
of Nigeria in securing the country, preserving our sovereignty and guaranteeing the freedoms which the
Constitution provides for every citizen;
Also recognizes the role of the Armed Forces as provided in Section 217 (2) (a) - (d) that:
(2) The Federation shall, subject to an Act of the National Assembly made in that behalf,
equip and maintain the Armed Forces as may be considered adequate and effective for
the purpose of -
(a) defending Xigcria from external aggression;
(b) maintaining its territorial integrity and securing its borders from violation on
land, sea or air;
(c) suppressing insurrection and acting in aid of civil authorities to restore order
when called upon to do so by the President, but subject to such conditions as
may be prescribed by an Act of the National Assembly; and
(d) perform such other functions as may be prescribed by an Act of the Xational
Assembly;
Aware that the Constitution places on the Xational Assembly the responsibility of ensuring that :igeria
is equipped with a potent and effective Armed Forces that is able to fulfill its constitutional responsibilities
both locally and internationally;
Notes that given the precarious security situation in the country at the moment, it has become necessary
to review the preparedness of the nation's Armed Forces to tackle the existential security issues, in this
regard, budgetary allocations to Armed Forces since the return of democratic rule in 1999 needs to be
reviewed;
Understands that these allocations are meant to enhance the capacity of the Armed Forces and cater for
the welfare of its men;
Realises that defence expenditure had been on the increase since year 2009 when the country spent ?233
billion and became the 7th largest spender in Africa; in 2011, it went up to ?348 billion, earning Nigeria
the status of the 57th largest military spender in the world and the largest in the Economic Community
of West African States (ECOWAS); and in 2012, the Ministry of Defence received ?360 billion, while
it is proposed to receive ?355 billion in 2013;

992 tuesday, 18 February, 2014 :"0.61
Concerned that considering the huge sums usually appropriated for the Armed Forces, the welfare of its
men ought to be of the highest possible standard; however, this appears not to be so as was seemingly
admitted by the President during the passing out parade and commissioning of the Direct Short Service
Course 20 of the ~igerian ~avy at the Xigcrian Defence Academy in 2012 where he stated that the
welfare, equipment and professionalism of the nation's Armed Forces were nothing compared, to
international best practices;
Observes that the country might be sending its soldiers into harm's way by not properly kitting them with
the right materials needed; indeed it is alleged that men of the Armed Forces are made to kit themselves
from their meager earnings which results in lack of proper and quality kitting thereby lowering the
inspiration, morale and pride of the soldiers. Apart from the lack of appropriate Rucksacks and Assault
Packs, the right communication gadgets are usually not provided, thus endangering the lives of these men
when cutoff from their troop;
Bothered about the state of the nation's armory with regard to whether the nation has the capacity to cope
with the challenges of modern warfare; and also combat the sophistication of the 21st century terrorism
where terrorists possess long range weapons which present a clear danger to troops furnished with
outdated ammunition;
Worried about poor provision of logistics equipment such as adequate combat vehicles, Reeaclamaissance
Vehicles, Armorcd Personnel Carriers, Medical Evacuation Vehicles, General Utility Vehicles, etc.;
Further worried about the state of intelligence gathering due to the lack of modern communication
equipment which should aid real time satellite tracking of security threats, the absence of which seems
to have given the terrorists better advantage since it is obvious they are better able to predict the actions
of the security agencies;
Further mvare that the defence sector has enjoyed exemption from payment of import duties, Value
Added Tax (VAT), etc., under the Common External Tariff (CET) 2008 to 2012, which is assumed as
an opportunity for the country to acquire durable and superior ammunition and military gadgets;
Also bothered that in spite of the huge funding of the Defence sector, the country has recorded incessant
crashes of Military Aircrafts in recent years; for instance, on 28 January, 2005, a Fighter Plane crashed
in Yar Kanya, Kano State. Similarly, on 16 September, 2006, another Air Force plane crashed in Benue
State, on 15 December, 2012 a Military Helicopter crashed in Bayelsa State and sometime in 2013 an Air
Force Alpha Jet crashed in Niamey, Niger Republic;
Further concerned that it has even been alleged that some of the Fighter Jets sent to bomb terrorists camps
had issues with the failure of the bomb chambers to open for the release of the bombs;
Also concerned about the state of training and retraining of Force men for effective and smooth
coordination of intelligence, resources and equipment between the Armed Forces Security Services and
other relevant Agencies in the maritime sector, aviation sector and border security agencies in the
implementation of ?ational Defence Policy, as well as maintaining proper processes for civil/military
relationship;
Further recognizes the urgent need to ensure that there are properly trained Regimental Sergeant Majors
(RS:Ms)who will instill proper regimentation, order and discipline to bring our Armed Forces to the level
of a world class force;
Further notes that the loyalty and commitment of the Nigerian Armed Forces as at today is not comparable
to what obtained in the 1960s and 19705, when the welfare of the Military men were of topmost priority
to the government and of each Force Unit, and Force men were duly paid their benefits, such as the
Ration Cash Allowance (RCA);
Observes that the ?igerian Armed Forces have grown over the years and the existing infrastructure, such
as decent accommodation, training facilities and other social amenities cannot meet the present needs of
the Forces;

::"0.61 Tuesday, 18 February, 2014 993
Regrets the claims from different quarters that favoritism and ethnicity have penetrated the Xigerian
Armed Forces, to the extent that major postings are no longer made on merit, a situation that has led to
a breakdown of order, reduced competence and compromised the security objectives of the country;
Further regrets the unfortunate ill-treatment of officers who got injured in the line I)f duty arid the manner
with which the families and loved ones of soldiers who had fallen are treated. There have been complaints
that several officers who gave their lives for the country were neither given befitting burials nor were they
duly honoured;
Determined to ensure that the Xigerian Armed Forces is modern, compact, strong, professional,
mission-capable and mission-ready for the defense of our national territory, maritime interests, airspace
and the protection and defense of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Xigeria and to contribute
to peace keeping duties worldwide under sub-regional and global organizations of which Nigeria is a
member; .
Resolves to:
Mandate the Committees on Defence, Army, Xavy, and Air Force to appraise the following:
(l) accommodation, salaries, and allowances in the Armed Forces;
(ii) kitting of officers of the Armed Forces;
(iil) regimentation, discipline and order in the Armed Forces;
(iv) training and retraining of Force men;
(v) postings and promotions in the Armed Forces;
(vi) the state of the Armored Corps;
(vii) armed Forces Logistics;"
(viii) military equipment andarmory; and
(ix) defence budget and expenditure from 1999 till date, and report back to the House within 4 weeks
(Ilon, Robinson Uwak= Oron/Mbo/Okobo/Udung Uko/Urue Offong/Oruko Federal Constituency
and 28 Others).
Debate:
Question put and negatived.
8. Consolidation of Bills:
(l) Motion made and Question proposed, "That a Bill for an Act to Amend the National Lottery Act

Question that the House do resolve into the Committee of the Whole to consider the Report, put and

(HOUSE IX COYlYlITTEE)
(Mr Deputy Speaker ill the Chair)
Recommendation (z):
"That the Federal Government of Nigeria should cancel OPL 245 recently granted to Shell Nigeria
Exploration and Production Company Ltd (S~EPCO) (50%) and AGIP (50%), as it was based on a highly
flawed 'Resolution Agreement' entered into between Malabu Oil and Gas, Shell Nigeria Exploration and
Production Company Ltd (S~EPCO) and Nigeria Agip Exploration Ltd (~AE) with the Federal
Government acting as Obligor. The 'Resolution Agreement' ceded away our National Interest and further
committed Nigeria to some unacceptable Indemnities and liabilities while acting as an Obligor. Indeed,
Clause 17 of the 'Resolution Agreement' commits the Federal Government of Nigeria to indemnify, and
even defend Shell Nigeria Ultra Deep Ltd (SXUD), Shell Nigeria Exploration and Production Company
Ltd (SXEPCO) and Nigeria Agip Exploration Ltd (~AE) from and against "all suits, proceedings,
claims, demands, losses and liability of any nature or kind, including but not limited to all litigation costs,
attorney's fees, settlement payments, damages and all other related c~sts and expenses, based on, arising
out of or in connection with" the 'Resolution Agreement' and or the issuance of the Oil Prospecting
License in respect of Block 245" (lIon. Leo Ogor - Isoko North/Isoko South Federal Constituency).
Amendments Proposed:
(a) In line 3, immediately after the word "agreement", insert the words "and contrary to the laws
of Xigcria" (lIon. Ali Ahmad - Ilorin East/Ilorin South Federal Constituency).
(b) In line 1, leave out the word "cancel" and insert the word "review" (lIon. Kamil Akinlade
Mudashiru - AfijiolAtiba EastlOyo West Federal Constituency).
Question that the amendment be made, put and negatived.
Recommendation (h):
"That the Federal Government through the Ministry of Petroleum Resources and the Office of the
Attorney-General of the Federation facilitates a new 'Resolution Agreement' in line with the Petroleum
Act, and the Indigenous Concession Programme (lCP) of Government that guided the initial allocation
of OPL 245 to Malabu Oil & Gas, as a situation where the 'Resolution Agreement' diverted 100% of the
beneficial ownership to two foreign based companies is contrary to our national aspirations. Indeed the
'Resolution Agreement' should acknowledge ~igeria's ~ational interest in the huge deposits existing in
the Block" (lIon. Leo Ogor - Isoko North/Isoko South Federal Constituency).
Recommendation (iiz):
"That the House should direct the Committees on Petroleum Resources (upstream), Petroleum Resources
(Downstream). Gas Resources and Local Content to liaise with theMinistry of Petroleum Resources to
make available a comprehensive list of similar ventures with Petroleum Sharing Agreement or contract
without Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (~~PC) participation, for necessary remediation" (lIon.
Leo Ogor - lsoko North/Isoko South Federal Constituency).

:'0. 61 Tuesday, 18 February, 2014 995
Recommendation (iv):
"That AGIP Xigcria Agip Exploration Ltd (:AE) be formally censured or reprimanded by the House for
its role in the 'Resolution Agreement' which lacked. transparency and did not meet international best
business practises. The 'Resolution Agreement' was meant to resolve existing disputes between the various
parties, which even by AGIP's acknowledgment they are not party to the disputes, in the process, they
cornered 50% equity in Block 245" (IIon. Leo Ogor -rr: Isoko North/Isoko South Federal Constituency).
Recommendation (v):
"That Shell Xigcria Ultra Deeps (SXC'D) be censured or reprimanded by the House for its lack of
transparency and full disclosure in its bid to acquire OPL 245" (IIon. Leo Ogor - Isoko Northllsoko
South Federal Constituency).
Recommendation (VI):
"That the ownership structure of Malabu Oil and Gas Ltd flowing from our findings and the Economic
and Financial CrimesCommission (EFCC)'s interim report, is as follows:,., ....:
(a) Mohammed Sani (Abacha) (or his Successors in title) - 50%,
(b) Kweku Amafegha (Dan Etcte) (or his Successors in title) - 30%, and
(c) Pecos Energy Ltd - 20 % ,
Consequently, the Office of the Attorney General of the Federation, the Ministry of Petroleum Resources,
and the Ministry of Finance should take this into consideration in any dealings with respect to OPL 245"
(1lon. Leo OgO!"- Isoko Nortlzllsoko South Federal Constituency).
Recommendation (viiy:
"That the :igeria Police should take over the on-going investigation on the matter of forgery and
alteration of documents indicting some Directors of Malabu Oil & Gas Ltd who resigned their positions
or transferred their appointments or shares without authorisation, and initiate prosecution of any person
indicted" (IIon. Leo Ogor - Isoko Nortli/Isoko South Federal Constituency).
Recommendation (viii):
"That in line with global best practices, accountability and transparency, individuals and financial
institutions linked with and found culpable by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC)
of receiving and transferring money unlawfully with respect to or arising out of the 'Resolution
Agreement', should he charged to an appropriate court of competent jurisdiction, and any such monies
unlawfully transferred should be recoveree!" (IIon. Leo Ogor - Isoko North/Isoko South Federal
Constituency) .
Amendment Proposed:
In line 1, immediately after the words" financial institutions" insert the words "(First Bank of Nigcna Plc,
and Keystone Bank Plc)" (lIon. Leo Ogor - Isoko North/Isoko Southl/ederol Constituency).
Question that the amendment be made, pill and agreed to.

996 Tuesday, 18 February, 2014 , Xo.61
Recommendation (ir):
"That in redrafting a new 'Resolution Agreement', Nigeria's tax laws should be respected, and
consequently where applicable, the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) should take all necessary steps
to impose Capital Gains Tax on Shell (Shell Nigeria Exploration and Production Company Ltd (SXEPCO)
- Shell Nigeria Ultra Deep Limited (SXUD). transaction as the payment or reimbursement of
$355,000,000 from Shell NigeriaExploration and Production Company Ltd (SXEPCO) to Shell Nigeria
Ultra Deep Limited (SXUD) as contained in the 'Resolution Agreement' is clear evidence of some form
of alienation or transfer of interest that satisfies the requirement for tax purposes" (Hon. Leo Ogor -
lsoko Northllsoko South Federal Constituency).
Chairman to report proceedings.
