A Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Femi Falana, has decried that the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, NNPCL, depends solely on Dangote Refinery.
Fielding questions in an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Thursday, Falana asked the whereabouts of the money spent of the public refineries.
The human rights lawyer was speaking on the Middle East crisis and its impact on the Nigerian economy.
“The NNPC now solely relies on Dangote Refinery. Is this how to run a country? After pouring money down the drain, $2.9bn was spent on maintaining our four refineries.
“Nobody is talking about that. Now it’s all about Dangote! How much crude oil are we giving to Dangote,” he asked.
DAILY POST had reported that there is currently unrest going on in the Middle East, which is a great distributor of fuel across the world.
