 On the breakfast experts in the aviation sector blames the central bank of Nigeria, CBN for the crisis, following non-remittance of accumulated revenue to airlines. Also on the breakfast, the National Bureau of Statistics says 28 sectors of the economy declined in the second quarter of 2022, as will gross domestic product shrunk by 63.49 billionare, in quarter on quarter. And we'll also be looking through the papers this morning, our national dailies are bringing you a great analysis and insight. Welcome to the breakfast in Plastivia, Africa. It's a beautiful morning right here, 31st day in the month of August, apparently it's the very last day in August. The next time we get to have a conversation will be, you know, in September. However, we set off with a top trending conversation, but just before then I am messy, a book boy. Now on a top trending, a Nigerian has won the Global Voices Scholarship, and she goes by the name Linda Vincent, a Nigerian. She won this University of East, and Leah, Northwish United Kingdom Global Voices 2021 Scholarship Award for her prose fiction. Well, the reaction in different spaces is that Nigerians are winning in different spaces. I mean, it's a win for us. A lot of persons have said, despite all of the darkness and struggles to face it, it's a plus for us to have this or the one. But that's it, we also have all the trending conversation right there. Another one is that corporates in the custody, or corporates are in custody for all thefts. Now, and if you know, if you follow the conversation or if you follow all that's happening in our country, you would know that all theft is one of the reasons that the government has given for the fact that we have been unable to meet our quota. I mean, the quota that OPEC actually puts out every other time. Niger has not met our quota. We're not doing very well in terms of meeting required quota that's been put out for us. And one of the excuses that all theft has been on top of the for burner. But the group chief executive officer of the Niger National Petroleum Company, Malia Kayari, I said that 122 persons have been arrested for all theft between April and August 2022. He also revealed that the government operative have discovered at least 295 illegal connections, you know, to 200 kilometers stench pipeline. And so he said that the, this impeded the production capacity of the company across several fronts. He also discussed this during the 49th session of the state house briefing organized by the presidential communication team at the presidential villa in Abuja. According to him, he said that security operative discovered 342 illegal oil reserves and 335 cooking ports, 959 metal tanks, 35 trucks, 452 pits, 737 open boat, and 179 wooden boats, 30 speed boats, 11 vessel used by vandals to perform their activities in the oil producing region of the Niger Delta. And this has led to recovery and destruction of 35.8 million liters of crude oil, 22 million liters of automotive gas oil, 150,000 liters of petrol, and 760,000 liters of kerosene with five months on the review. Well, it's a good thing, I think it's enough. Nigerians have constantly said that if this issue government is government responsibility, you know, to rise to that and ensure that all theft becomes not something that is in our present but something that's in the past. But as always, we hope that there will be justice there will be meted, these persons will be tried, convicted, justice will take its place and we will be able to continue with oil production because it's affecting the economy, have a look at it. The fact that we're unable to meet our quota, several issues, especially where our economy is very dependent on oil earnings, it's a lot. Another one on our top trending is a Delta airline suspense flight from New York to Lagos and for them, the reason for the suspension is that there need to be, it's in connection with the current reality, environment is very friendly activities that are quite related to all of this, a statement was also put out to this particular statement. Yes, we know that the aviation sector is facing a lot of crisis right now, but the suspension is not in connection just like the Emirates is not in connection with remittances, in this case because we know that part of this time, we have the Emirates who's put out an information saying they were going to suspend activities from Nigeria because of the funds that are being trapped right here. But that's also something that's been looked into because the government has also made some effort but this is something different entirely and the Delta airlines have also said that they're also making provisions for passengers, an alternative provision for passengers and that's a good one, but we hope that we will be on top of the situation to solve the aviation crisis and that's it on our top trending this morning, we take a break, when we return, we'll continue with the conversation, please stay with us.
