On Wednesday, it was disclosed to the parliamentary Public Accounts Committee (PAC) that, despite efforts to reduce it, circular debt in the gas sector has increased over the past year.
The committee, which met with Noor Alam Khan as its chairman, also requested information about the benefits given to senior government officials, such as the prime minister, ministers, and judges of the higher court. The petroleum secretary briefed PAC. He told the committee that the circular debt of the petroleum sector was Rs1,200 billion in the last year, which had now risen to Rs1,700 billion.
“A plan has been prepared to get rid of the circular debt of the petroleum sector,” the secretary said. “The Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Energy are working on it,” he added.
It has been decided to swap the institutions’ assets, he added, adding that dues of between Rs300 and Rs400 billion will be paid in place of power plants. Additionally, he claimed that a rise in petrol prices had resulted in a Rs250 billion debt reduction.
The meeting’s chair questioned the secretary about why the PAC’s directive to relax the restriction on new gas connections had not yet been implemented. The summary in this regard was presented to the federal cabinet, but it was rejected, the secretary responded.
Noor Alam Khan ordered that PAC’s recommendations would be sent to the Prime Minister’s Office for the lifting of the ban on gas connections. Khan also directed the gas utilities not to collect the increased meter rent from the gas consumers.
The chair expressed satisfaction with the recent reduction in the prices of petrol and diesel and stressed the need for bringing the prices further down. “It’s [prices of petroleum produce] still too much, the lower it is, the better,” he added.
The committee was also informed that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs would discuss the Iran-Pakistan gas pipeline issue with the US ambassador upon his return from Washington.
The officials gave the PAC an update on the collection of overdue amounts from several oil corporations. Noor, however, informed the officials that the PAC had instructed them to recover the debts and not to engage in negotiations with the businesses.
The committee was informed by the audit officers that as of November 30, 2021, there was Rs. 1,270 billion in circular debt for gas. Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (Ogra) was not carrying out its directives, according to Auditor General Ajmal Gondal.

Nigerian chef Hilda Baci has become the new Guinness World Record Holder for “marathon cooking.” On May 11, Baci lit her burners at 4 p.m. Eastern Time and continued to cook constantly for 87 hours and 50 minutes. She finished her last dish on Monday.
According to the BBC, Hilda Effiong Bassey, aka Baci, prepared nearly 100 meals in an effort to break the record. If Baci wins, Lata Tondon, the current world record holder, will lose her title while her time is still being evaluated. The Indian chef’s total nonstop cooking time in 2019 was 87 hours and 45 minutes.
Baci held her culinary marathon in Lekki, Lagos State, in Amore Gardens. Despite the bad weather, many people, celebrities, and even government representatives turned out to support Baci as she tried to beat the record. On Sunday, the governor of Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, attended the event.
“We are proud to have Hilda embarking on this journey in our state,” Sanwo-Olu said. “I will continue to follow the updates and look forward to the final declaration.”
According to the BBC, the 27-year-old chef intended to spend 96 hours in the kitchen but had to leave early due to the exhausting effort of managing the kitchen. Food from Baci’s native West Africa made up the majority of her marathon menu. Guests were offered a variety of rice and pasta meals, including jollof rice and akara, a well-known street food made from deep-fried mashed beans. While Baci was cooking, some aid was given. She was permitted to keep one aide nearby and take one hourly five-minute break.
The chef spoke with BBC News Pidgin before stepping into the kitchen. “This attempt is proof of the strength young people can exhibit with the right platform and support,” Baci said.
Baci is no stranger to taking the heat in the kitchen. In 2021 she pocketed $5,000, winning the first “Jollof Face Off Competition.”

A pioneering operation was carried out on an unborn child by a medical team from Boston Children’s Hospital and Brigham and Women’s Hospital. Recently, an amazing brain operation was performed for the first time in the United States.

Doctors found Baby Denver had a vein of Galen malformation, a rare blood vessel abnormality inside the brain, during a routine ultrasound when she was developing normally inside her mother. With this illness, many infants get heart failure or brain damage and frequently pass away. Denver’s heart was actually having trouble, and the abnormality was growing to hazardous proportions.
So, using ultrasound guidance, an amniocentesis-style needle, and tiny coils placed directly into the abnormal blood vessels to stop blood flow, a team from Boston Children’s and Brigham was able to repair her malformation while she was still inside the uterus at 34 weeks of pregnancy. The procedure was part of an FDA-approved clinical trial.

It’s likely that you have an engaged audience if you’ve been developing your internet presence for a long enough period of time. Your suggestions are taken seriously, and people like sharing your content with others. You are now being questioned by brands about sponsored social media posts and other partnerships. A media kit for influencers is one of the finest methods to respond to their inquiries.
What is an influencer media kit?
An influencer media kit, in a nutshell, is a packet or page of material you can send to potential client businesses and media outlets. This is the influencer equivalent of a resume, CV, or portfolio, sometimes known as a press kit. In real life, this translates to a virtual handshake that you use to introduce yourself. When properly put together, this document will demonstrate your abilities as an influencer and provide instances of your work. They assist brands in finding the ideal influencers and services to meet their requirements.
Short biography with a picture
In many job interviews, the first question is “Tell me about yourself.” In essence, your personality, creativity, and experience serve as your product when you are an influencer. Because of this, your brief biography should be imaginative. In the scenario that you are a fashion influencer, think about describing what got you interested in the topic. With this response, you should ideally be able to establish a connection with potential customers.
In the same way, your profile picture needs to be both professional and inviting. In some circumstances, headshots are acceptable, but not in others. Make sure you have a nice smile on your face and are acting casually when choosing a headshot.
Your active social media profiles
Naturally, the social media platform where you provide sponsored content is the most crucial to highlight. If you have a great Instagram following, be sure to mention that this is what you do best. Please also include your Instagram handle.
Don’t stop there, though. Even though you don’t anticipate getting employed on other social media platforms, brands can engage with you by looking at them. Do you generally enjoy having a good time? This online persona usually spreads to other social media sites. Using your influence in a certain industry? Even if it isn’t being used for your influencer company, your LinkedIn profile can help build your credibility.
Follower counts
In contrast to some other analytics, follower counts are simple to locate and include in your influencer media kit reports. This is advantageous because one of the most crucial pieces of information about any influencer is their follower count. Many companies will pay you according to the size of the social media platform where you do your work, and they may have a particular audience in mind for a certain campaign. The majority of platforms will display your following count on your profile or home page; all you need to do is update it sometimes. The number of unique visits you receive each month can be found in your account dashboard and used with blogs.
Engagement rates
Audience engagement rates are frequently the unspoken truth in the world of influencer marketing. Even though having a lot of eyes is great, marketing goals aren’t as concerned if people don’t engage with your contact. Another indicator that is used to assess your influence and determine your rates is engagement. Brands can determine your suitability by looking at your engagement rates. Finally, avoid buying involvement only to increase those figures. Along with false Instagram followers, many of us have developed the ability to see this, thus trying to do this will backfire severely.
Past collaborations
As a content creator, think of your past partnerships with brands as the experience section on your résumé. Your influencer media kit should include prior partnerships. It may be impossible to discuss all of a seasoned social media influencer’s partnerships in a one-page document. If this is the case, choose between your greatest work, your favourites, and your best outcomes. The goal is to present yourself in the best possible light.
Services you offer
Keep brands from speculating about your level of willingness. Inform them! Brands often have a clear understanding of the services they need when searching for new influencers to work with. Some companies even harvest the data from the influencer press kit and store it for later use. They might search the database for this information as the need arises for an influencer who provides particular services. You have increased your “visibility” in the system by providing it. Include both your best skills and what you are willing to do.
Price list
Influencers who are just starting out may not have “set” rates, while more seasoned ones frequently do. By including a price list in your influencer media kit, you make it clear to businesses what you expect in terms of collaboration and what kind of material you can offer that will best serve their target audience. You might bargain with brands for services depending on your business plan. Additionally, you’ll let companies know whether your services are reasonably priced and what prospective choices for partnerships are available from your list of services.
Contact Information
Don’t leave businesses “guessing” how to get in touch with you. An influencer media kit’s main objective is to promote your services, and the main focus of this campaign is generating sales leads. It’s likely that a brand won’t bother if they have to find you. They’ll simply go on to the next person who has mentioned this. Give your preferred mode of contact when providing your contact information. Depending on your comfort level, you might also mention alternate approaches.
