If you know his other name, I believe you wouldn't bother much about this drunk of a guy. His name is Heineckens Lokpobiro. He don shack Heineckens die before he said that nonsense.....

Thanks for reminding me.

Small pH refinery. Una no fit startup.
Give me, I will start it in 6 months.

Minister open mouth talk thrash after all the billions. He should be sacked

If they fire this clown now Asari Dokubo go say they fired him because he is an Ijaw man.
Just imagine the empty statement from so called minister.

What happens to the $1,5billioa that Baba Mr Buhari invested in Portharcourt refinery

Lolz419:

🤣
Foolishness
So all the money spent so far to renovate it will waste😂

They should add it to their valuation and sell them off. As long as Government officials keep running the business on state’s funds, those refineries will never work.

My 2 cents

Cannot be a statement made by the Minister

That buhafi collected as loam to repair the refinery o🤣
Other funds attached to plant are there k
Refinery is unsellable

They have finish this corntree kpatakpata.

If you are still thinking they will renew your hope you are jonzing

Well for those insulting him, u r ignorant. The 3 refineries we have are outdated and govt have proven not to be a good managers of such enterprise so the best advice is to buy a stake in dangote to force some form of price regulation. Not buying a stake in dangote is the real monopoly
If he says govt shud sell the refineries no one will buy cos they r outdated and the cost of running them far outweighs the revenue they can generate
Y'all need to be informed b4 trash talking d minister

I have already said it that the federal government should sell out those government refineries to the private sector, private investors entrepreneurs to operate and run..it's the private sector private investors entrepreneurs that can run and operate refineries and bussinesses very well and effectively..the role of government is to provide a conducive environment for bussinesses, refineries to thrive and excel and expand not to operate and run refineries

When OBJ told us that the refineries will not work, we all insulted him as agbaya. Who will dispute him now?

Politicians pockets have been lined while their fellow countrymen continue to suffer.

Very wicked people.

Just imagine the advice coming from a so-called minister. Nobody takes responsibility in public service because nobody truly cares about this country. If this man had spent his personal money fixing the PH refinery, would he dump it?

What do you expect from a Wike loyalists

See a man from a region their oil money was used in developing the whole nigeria is saying a refinery in his region should be abandoned for refinery in lagos state, can u you imagine?no wonder federal government is using them, this niger delta region don't care that revenues meant for them is going going to lagos?warri wharf not working porthacourt wharf working 50% of it capacity yet they are happy

Helpfromabove1:


Monopoly loading

Lokpobiri Is the one speaking but the words are the words of dangote

A minister for that matter that should be on the side of nation fighting for the interests of one man just tell us Dangote as bought u over


Monopoly will never be in the interest of Nigerian and we know Dangote loves monopoly

So you think the Government should continue the resurrection of the refineries? .... that they been doing for the past 24 years? ... pumping billions into it with absolutely nothing to show? I don't even think Dangote will want to invest in those antique refineries. Hmmm ... prefer the theft and corruption of a few.

If the NNPC owned refineries is your personal business would you continue to spend huge amount of money for maintenance for the past 24hrs without making a single profit?

Look at the type of people governing us Smh.

these officials should be hanged

what of all the billions dey spent on the refineries

that was the plan from the beginning. big monopoly in one man hands
it was always the plan when buhari entered

Sajio:
They wants to monopolise the whole thing again, just as they did with cement. Why abandon warri/pH refinery after spending that much on it... Is the pH refinery not the one you promised us will be functioning by November??

OBJ was right all along. he knew there were sinister cabals involved in sabotaging the refineries

Self-loathing is the bane of our Biafra brothers and sisters! We will sell our own or work against the interests of our people to gain self-aggrandizement. Why will this MOFO advocate dumping the Igwuocha Refinery for the Dangote Refinery? He would have rather advocated for the refinery to be completely refurbished and get back into operation at full capacity. But because of the pittance given to him, he had to fight against his self-interest. What a pitty!

Wike Minister

It is too late, they should fix their refinery or wait for the Nigeria Stock Exchange to acquire shares. So where goes our money in the book of NNPC , TAM chapter 4 .....Otigini

This Man is good to be prosecuted

Oga, the guy have seen what we can't see even if we climbed iroko tree. Obasanjo sold it, Yar'Adua reverted and now to be sold again because it can never work. Government has been wasting Nigeria money and patience by keep going forward and backward on policies since 1999. Those that are benefiting from share of Friday Friday money will not want it sold. But we all know that private is more productive that public establishments.

Those refineries will be sold. Its only a matter of time.

But after those refineries have been sold, Nigerians will always be uncomfortable whenever they see Aramco still remains a going concern. Nigerians will always have diarrhoea whenever they see Equinor becoming an even bigger behemoth than it is now. Nigerians will always feel small when they see Gazprom (despite Russia's many problems) still remains a viable entity.

The structural and institutional failures that led to the fall of NNPC are not going to disappear. They are not going anywhere, anytime soon. And so...even if Nigerians submit to the "government should sell the refineries because it has no business in business" anthem, what of other sectors of government?

Fertilizer supply rackets in the federal ministry of agriculture will continue. The same ministry will continue to build mosques...

Thishas always been the final endgame.. if you know you know. With the help of Buhari administration they set it all up but I believe, hope, pray or think tinubu is trying to stop this. 🤷‍♂️
If this happens Dangote and cabal has full monopoly of oil resources and it will just be a shame on Nigeria

I think the reporter misquoted him. He never mentioned Dangote.

No not in this case. Do you know the vast amounts of funds and resources over the years that has gone into this?!!!!
Least they can do is achieve that goal and prove to Nigerians it hasn’t all been fake embezzlement schemes over the years
