We buy the crude.

Or how would the people refining it get paid?

We buy the crude.

What you are saying amounts to saying that NNPC is selling crude for free to government. That would be ridiculous.

Who do we buy the crude from?

How do you mean? The governor is doing what he is meant to do.

Everything is going topsy turvy under attack this worthless government headed by a human form.

Kfed4ril:

Where does the money to pay the workers drilling for the crude come from?

Plus like I said private entities and NNPC in JV with others drill for crude. Naturally they have to earn money from doing it otherwise they won't be able to pay taxes, maintenance fees, buy new equipment, salaries etc.

You were making until the last paragraph. You can make a good point without being satirical.

That is commendable. They should also change these waste disposal trucks and get better ones. I have never seen any waste truck in Enugu with complete 10 tyres and no day goes by without you seeing one of them broken down on the road, sometimes with waste still in them. Add these to the review.

But there are better ways to manage these wastes. Waste disposal is a viable business if it privatised. With the company responsible for collection of levies and disposal of the waste just like in some states. It will make them serious and stop the activities of scavengers who only litter the bins looking for plastics and other stuff which should be among the gains of these disposal companies.

But of course, it's Enugu, and good ideas are not welcomed here, just administer the state for 8yrs, keep the peace, chop your money, sell all the land and run off to the senate. Continue!

They don't just tap and refine

The people who do the refining have to be paid.

That's where the dollars paid per barrel goes to.

Then there is taxes etc plus JV partners. Plus a lot of private entities drill for crude too. They must be paid.

If they were refining crude free , it would mean that government is spending out of money that it would have used for other things.

Plus we need more than five working refineries anyways

I know we need more than one working refinery, I’m just saying if we had at least one working refinery things wouldn’t be this bad.

All this this you mentioned are considered, I never said government should give Nigerians free fuel, I said if we had working refineries it would’ve been hell cheaper that it is today. Reason been that the government doesn’t have to sell to the citizens at opec prices and the still will make money to carter for all you mentioned above.

Are you telling me that the NNPC in JV can’t drill and refill then sell to the citizens or even alone without a JV.

When I’m talking about government running the refineries, which arm of government is saddled with the responsibility if not NNPC?

They will or they will sell close to OPEC prices.

Because there will be private entities drilling for crude and exporting it at international proces and NNPC exploration arm has to pay its workers equivalent salaries to the workers drilling for private firms, or they lose workers

That's why they charge at OPEC prices.

Dangote will be buying crude from NNPC at OPEC prices in naira equivalent. That's all government could promise him.

See my response above.

NNPC better sell at international prices, or they won't be able to compete wih the private sector re drilling fr crude

I’m not talking of dangote, I’m talking of NNPC

Ditto NNPC exploration arm to NNPC refining arm

Oh
