Dangote’s refinery can produce more petrol than required in Nigeria and still have capacity for exports. Why would a right thinking government spend or waste USD1.5bn on rehabilitating dead refineries when it can use that money to build hospitals or fix roads? What is wrong with this government?

Eleme refinery don suffer, all the stories Ibe Kachukwu brought forward in 2016 that all the refinery will be rehabilitated and production will begin b4 2019 were all avenues to loot and plunder the resources of the nation and also pay their tithe to mr Integrity.
This is 2021 and we are approving new sum for rehabilitation that was said to have been done in 2016/2017. Buhari came to steal, kill and destroy the jungle!





He is doing well in that regard.
Some of you just talk for the sake of it. When I've kachikwu made those proposals, which were approved by the FEC, didn't the Senate block it from taking off? Didn't melaye on the senate floor described it as another means to do the shady privatisation of the past? Even when kachikwu came out to say they were not selling the refinery but returning it to the initial people who built it to refurbish it at their own cost after which they will operate it for some years to recoup their money before handing it back to FG,. The senate still blocked it. Go and check the records

Which is why privatizing NNPC and deregulating....meaning NNPC is no longer reliant on money from subsides .....would make NNPC work for its money and end sabotage there...because a privatized NNPC with a deregulated market, means that sabotage=loss of money.

Government business...

Nigeria is a rent seeking milking system set up for the 1%. Privatization is useless. They still spend money on former NEPA/PHCN even after selling it to themselves. And your light bills are much higher. Same Infrastructure, bought with stolen money, lesser power generation, more expensive and subsidized by government (money goes to the so-called investors)

Buhari said he had lifted petroleum subsidies, your gas bill went up and they're paying out some of the biggest subsidies ever


Ajaokuta steel has been privatized multiples times. Each time the new investor goes in, strips and sells assets and makes more money than was paid, govt takes it back, rinse and repeat

Funding for Dangote's refinery comes from 1) Private banks 2) African Development bank 3) 3 billion dollars from Dangote's pocket.

As this BBC report from 2014 put it....


Mr Dangote signed a $3.3bn loan deal with local and foreign banks to build the refinery, as well as fertiliser and petrochemical plants.

The entire venture would cost $9bn, with $3bn in equity from Dangote Industries and $6bn to be raised in loan capital.

The initial loan facility was co-ordinated globally by Standard Chartered and in Nigeria by Guaranty Trust Bank, London's Financial Times newspaper reports.

No government funding whatsoever. All government has done is offer to sell crude to him for the refinery in Naira, not dollars.

NEPA problem is simple.

It costs N53 to produce one kwh of power. Until recently, that kwh of power was being sold at less than N30.

The money being paid or spent of NEPA/PHCN was a 'subsidy' to cover the losses being made in the power sector.

A Pricewaterhousecoopers report from 2018(linked here, see page 18) put the fact that the power sector does not charge cost reflective tarrifs as one of the issues affecting the power sector. That plus the fact that 40% of subscribers as at then were not even paying bills...rich, poor, government agencies, private bodies, etc.

Even with the increase, the DISCO covering my area sells power at N51 per kwh, meaning a loss of N2 per kwh sold.

Same for the petroleum sector.

The problem with privatization is simple...we privatized power, and then government came in and started enacting price controls because Nigerians were too poor...meaning power companies cannot earn enough cash or attract investment to fix the power supply.

Something they know won't yield anything.... What will take them to build a new refinery? No money?

Abi Dangote is richer than Nigeria?


Like I always say, this administration gets away with a lot of things.

Now you see why there's clamour for disintegration. If its Dangote or Hausa, you'll see FG running helter-skelter skelter, even sabotaging industrial policies to put things to functional order, if it's national issues, you will never see that same energy which is a direct testament that the country is rigged to favor the North


By the way this refinery was built over 40 years ago
What are u even saying?

Listen to yourself talk, d FG revamping Ph refinery is a step in the right direction, this will stop Dangote from having monopoly over the market.

U people can't even think basic things and u are shouting Biafra

I disagree

A plan has been laid out to make it work, this also includes inviting the people/company whoi built them in the first place.

With great effort and determination we can make it work. This government has shown in the past what it takes to make things work

When has this government plan ever succeeded. Sell it to investors with industrial capacity to fix or rebuild the refineries.
