If in 2014 we were still skeptical of this possibility, it is clear that the Togolese State is illegally smuggling oil on the platforms off the coast of Togo. Thanks to a "state" structure! No offense to the griots of power who continue to pour into the dilatory and misinformation. We have heard from a sailor who has worked on these offshore installations that we deliver to you, pending further confessions.
Exactly one week ago, following our article in the issue N ° 2515 of September 13, 2017 under the title "Offshore oil record of Togo / The Togolese State and some individuals receive dividends production! "The site says the government, republicoftogo. com thought smart to bounce back on the subject, without research. "No luck, Togo has no oil," he said, before adding: "In the section Economy, Liberty says that" a few individuals receive off-shore oil production dividends in Togo ". Cocoon when we know that no drop of black gold unfortunately comes out of the basement. We can always dream ". Fortunately there is a gap between the investigation and the dream.
The coordination of the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI) in Togo is the body responsible for preparing the Extractive Sector Payments and Reconciliation Report. As such, and to this day, it is his data and writings that are authentic in the field. And when in the last two reports of this structure (2012 and 2013), one reads at the level of the regulatory framework of the extractive sector, in section b): "In the same way, we noted that the company" ENI "was engaged in a lawsuit against the American company "Brenham Oil & Gas Corp.", because of the latter's signing of an agreement to acquire rights of deepwater exploration of oil in the Togolese Republic. This has not been confirmed by the DGH which declares that following the cessation of activities of the company "ENI", no agreement on the exploration or exploitation of oil in Togo has been signed ", we must to ask the real questions about the game played by the Togolese State. But when both reports say that "In accordance with the letter sent by ENI, dated January 29, 2014, the company has notified the cessation of its activities on both blocks and their remittances to the Togolese Government. The reason presented in the letter is the failure of the negotiations concerning the modifications of the Production Sharing Agreement (CPP) initially signed ", one is obliged to conclude that there exists between the company ENI and the State TOGOLAIS A CONTRACT OF SHARING PRODUCTION in due form.
A little comparison exercise to show that Togo is smuggling oil and that ENI is not owned by Mother Theresa. In 2012 and 2013, MM Mining, which operated the Bandjeli iron, paid the State about CFAF 33.620 million as mining royalties for extracting 392,697 tons of iron; Wacema, for its part, paid about $ 1.64 billion as mining royalties in two years. As for the New Phosphate Company of Togo (SNPT), it has extracted, according to the figures of the EITI-Togo, more than 2.32 million tons of phosphate from the Togolese subsoil, but no trace of mining royalties paid. And the comparison is not over, at least for the first two companies.
Thus, the export values of MM Mining amount to CFAF 2,505,131,118 in 2012 and CFAF 2,514,419,025 in 2013, totaling more than CFAF 5 billion of products exported according to the data reported by the said company.
With regard to Wacem, the data reported by it indicates 45,792,117,760 FCFA in 2012 and 38,258,841,017 FCFA in 2013, ie exports in excess of 84 billion FCFA.
In the end, MM Mining paid 33,620 million royalties for exporting more than 5 billion FCFA of iron, and Wacem for its part 1.64 billion FCFA for having exported more than 84 billion FCFA of products. But then, how can ENI society other than have paid more than 6 billion FCFA of mining royalties without exporting anything ??? It is at this demonstration that we invite Minister Marc Ably-Bidamon and the manager of republicoftogo. com to react.
This reaction is all the more expected as a former seafarer who worked on the quiet exploitation is formal: Togo produces clandestinely oil and only a small group of barons benefit. This is what he told us.
"I do not like to go back to what I experienced on the sea; Togo has been pumping oil for a long time, but a form of shenanigans surround the operation, which is happening without the knowledge of the population. The geography of the soil is such that when Togo pumps oil, neighboring countries like Ghana, Côte d'Ivoire, Benin and Nigeria can no longer pump enough. It's like there is a deal between our country and others so that we do not exploit it. Against preferences when we buy oil from these countries or something like that. Normally Togo should not exploit its oil, but the state and some ministers decided to indulge in this mafia practice. I worked with them and it is ENI that is at the base of the operation because it has the appropriate equipment.
Today, the departure of the ENI company in no way absolves the duty of truth that the ministers who have succeeded each other at the head of the Department of Mines and Energy owe to the citizens. Otherwise, tongues will unite with time and the long-hidden manna may be known someday. Already that we had raised a minimum production of 853,000 barrels at the time when ENI was operating, it would not be surprising to learn that in fact, the productions were larger, and the directions they took many.
