Vanguard columnist, Rotimi Fasan in September 19, 2024 incisive piece lambasted the federal government over crises in the Petroleum sector.
Hear him:
"With about four
refineries that have not refined a drop of oil in about four decades, why must
the NNPCL be the middleman between Nigerians and the Dangote Refinery?
"Why must anything
intended to ameliorate the pains of Nigerians constantly be in abeyance? Now,
it’s the Dangote Refinery that we were told would take care of our local petrol
consumption at minimum cost.
"Its pump price per liter
of petrol is now to cost more than imported petrol? Where exactly are we headed
as Nigerians? Who are those sworn against the goodness of this country?
“It makes no sense...With the
recent increase in the pump price of petrol from just over N650 to over N800,
the gains labour supposedly made from the increase of the minimum wage to
N70,000 has been wiped off even before the government has started
payment".
