The President of the Rivers Entrepreneur and Investors’ Forum, Ibifiri Bobmanuel, has revealed that the actions of the Rivers State Government and some local governments in the state were the reasons the Dangote Petroleum Refinery was moved from Rivers State to Lagos State.

Bobmanuel, in an interview with DAILY POST said the forum engaged the management of the Dangote Group and also wrote the Federal government for the refineries not to be moved to Lagos.

The President of REIF, however, noted that it was discovered that the Rivers State Government and the local governments where the refineries were to be located, Okrika and Eleme made huge demands from Dangote Group, which led them to move the refineries to Lagos.

“The Dangote refinery was to be situated in Rivers State and later they made a U-turn and went to Lagos, and we were very miffed by the whole approach.

“We wrote a couple of letters to the management of the Dangote group. “We went as far as writing to the Federal Government.

“When they called for a meeting with us, we went for that meeting. It was discovered that the investment that was meant to be situated in Rivers State, precisely Okrika and Eleme Local Government Areas, they got preliminary land acquisition and agreement and perfected all that.

“But the amount of pushback and demands that were from the state government at that time, obviously, left them with no other option but to go and situate the business at a location where they were welcomed.”

Bobmanuel said the Rivers State Government, local governments and communities need to understand how to negotiate with business owners to attract businesses.

“This brings us back to what we at the Investors’ Forum have always talked about. We’ve always felt the Rivers State Government, the local governments and the communities need to understand the language of businesses.

“You can only imagine the amount of impact the refinery is going to have on the IGR of Lagos State. Imagine if that investment was situated in Rivers State”.

He said the incoming government needs to sit up and see the importance of private participation in governance in the state.

What's the logic of siting oil refinery in Lagos but the oil is produced in Niger Delta?
Is there no land in SS and What's the cost of transporting crude oil from Rivers state to Lagos..
My Niger Delta brothers Igbos are better than you people at least if the oil is located in SE nobody can try this shit

FreeStuffsNG:
There is oil in Yorubaland. There's oil in Lagos state, Ondo state, Ogun state and our Itsekiri cousins in Delta.

Dangote is visionary and knows that Yorubaland will accept him and Yorubaland will bless his endeavour. Dangote, unlike you, does not hate the Yoruba and does not dabble into Yoruba politics.

Another Refinery is already in the pipeline and will be sited in Yorubaland too. Just watch out for it.
God bless Nigeria

I’m not saying that you are not right ooo, but tagging lagos all the time by your tribesmen is so annoying and disgusting. Can a Yoruba man contest for any election in the north or east? Abeg leave lagos and let it be

Disagreement between Amosun govt, Dangote caused loss of $16bn refinery to Lagos —Abiodun

OGUN State governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun, has said the breakdown of discussion between Dangote and the immediate past administration in the state led to the loss of a $16 billion Dangote refinery to Lagos State.

He, however, said his administration is working towards ensuring that the state takes advantage of its oil rich deposit and becomes an oil producing state.

The governor gave the position in the lecture he delivered at the second and third convocation ceremony of the Mountain Top University, with the topic, ‘Quest for Excellence: The Nexus of Faith, Knowledge and Resilience.’

Abiodun expressed disappointment that Ogun lost $16 billion Dangote refinery to Lagos after a break in discussion between the Ibikunle Amosun-led administration and Dangote.

While also noting that he had the privilege to work as the chairman of the Olokola Free Trade Zone that was meant to have the refinery sited in the state, Abiodun added that the project was not just conceived with the aim of refining petroleum products only but to take advantage of the mining lease that was awarded around the corridor.

“I worked as chairman of Olokola Free Trade Zone that was meant to have the Dangote refinery sited in Ogun Waterside. However, discussion broke down between Dangote and the then administration, which led to the loss of that project to Lagos State; a $16 billion project was lost to another state.

See the way you dey call modular refinery like say na kain kain refinery, or you thinks say na those iron drums wey ijaw boys dey take cook diesel na him be modular refinery? The minimum cost of a small 1000 barrels per day refinery costs nothing less than $100 million, and am not even talking about the cost of land acquisition, licences and other cost necessary to build the refinery, before talking about cost of getting crude yo the refinery and running costs.
How many Niger Delta groups can afford it. Besides even now nothing stops anyone from getting a license and build a refinery if you have the money.

OfoIgbo:


Yes, that's exactly why the northern leaders of Nigeria awarded major monopolies to Dangote so that he can afford constructing a refinery.

Listen, all the SS people will need is to include experts as consultants in their proposed business vehicles, PO is a wise man. He will immediately realise that these SS business vehicles will need funding, which PO can held effect, as the president of Nigeria. He can use his powers as the president to bring in a policy that makes these SS business vehicles to have access to fund, so they can operate.
It will bring in Ijaws, Ibibios, Ogonis, Urhobos, Edos, Annangs and even Igbos into the controlling areas of the oil industry in Nigeria.

I have been in informed that BUA, which is another Fulani company, is now building a massive refinery in Akwa-Ibom, all in an attempt to ensure that Fulanis control the oil industry in Nigeria. Tufiakwa. All these can be done by locally put-together business vehicles.

I am itsekiri from the Niger Delta, so I understand oil business and politics far more than you do. Oil business ruined one of my rich uncles. He bought an oil prospecting license for $150 million and they did not find oil in commercial quantities in his allocated oil block (I suspect sabotage from NNPC officials). He had to relocate to the village after selling all his houses in Lagos and Abuja.

As I reiterate, no one is stopping any igbo man from owning a refinery.

Biodun556:


Dangote considered Ondo first, later Ogun state but could not get good deal especially host community wahala. Tinubu and fashola encouraged him to come to Lagos and gave better deal

Lagos is the best for the project:

1. The refinery could easily export refine product from the location

2. Lagos consume largest volume of oil in Nigeria. So the refinery is closed to the market

NaijaReCrminals:
Crying more than the bereaved. Igbos coman rule Nigeria let me see.

No Igbo man will ever rule this country because of your disrespect for everybody in Nigeria.


Don't go and get rid of the Ekpa's terrorists in Igbo land, be crying for the Niger Delta.

Is Lagos not part of Nigeria again or is Dangote not a Nigerian?

You should be more concern about una online biaf.raud that will never happen.
