The entry of Dangote into the oil market is indeed a game changer. There is no solution that can be merely evaluated as a wrong or a bad idea except tried or properly evaluated. Government policies must first be enforced with the law to strengthen its adherence and there after, implemented to solve critical problems in the country such as the fuel problem. Schools of thought believe the Government should handle government affairs and leave business of government to the private sector. This isn't a bad idea. Obasanjo probably saw a solution in this idea and encouraged Dangote and Otedola to buy up the refinery. The government is an institution with limitations and the citizens must acknowledge it. Businesses, technocrats and passionate citizens should work with the government to help it. 2 Likes 1 Share |

tunjijones: the topic is about dangote refinery. how has dangote refinery helped the fuel situation in lagos? will the price of fuel selling at 900 to 1000 improve living standards or will make life worse for the people of lagos? if standard of living are not going to improve as a result of the hike in fuel price, what "rapid development" are you referring to? |

How exactly is Dangote's refinery a game changer? It can be ... but is it? It has already gone into production ... what has changed? Is the cost of petrol lower at the pump? ... is the burden of subsidy being relieved and the money used to boost infrastructure? ... is our foreign reserves being boosted? If not...how is this a game changer? Mass transit.... most cities abroad do not have a mass transit rail system. Does Lagos need one?...no doubt ...long overdue. Most cities have a robust bus system ...a car reaching bus network. Lagos needs to have both. No doubt the BRT lanes are important and should be there. But here is the writer claiming the lanes are underutilized therefore they should be turned into rail lanes. Why not shout for buses to utilize the lanes as planned? Why not have new paths for trains? Why not build new roads to ease congestion? The cities he visited and talk about have good urban planners with foresight Lagos has much room for new roads and rail tracks...why be fixated on the present only? New York City has a very good and extensive public transportation system to the extent that one does not need a car to get around . It is set up this way. Lagos has the population density that does require an extensive mass transportation system ... trains....buses ...and ferry. Do other cities have the density to follow Lagos? ...if not why should any other city in Nigeria follow ?...for bragging rights?...the same as building unnecessary flyovers? We need to plan accordingly to our situation and not just do copy copy . 2 Likes

âLagos is the only state that seems to have a good idea of what a city should look like even though the state is finding it difficult to implement the goals. The city is still very far from achieving the goal of a megacity, but it is the only one struggling to get there. If your state governor is not coming to Lagos for tutorial, you may need a new governor by 2027 if you donât want your city to be left behindâ. This OP should be ashamed of himself. First his is not from Lagos state. How would you compare Lagos state with other states in terms of development? Why not compare Lagos state with Rabat, Tunis, Cairo and Johannesburg? Which of the other states of Nigeria was the Federal capital and enjoyed the benefits of that status? Building the refinery in Lagos state was an afterthought. The original location was Ogun state. All the states know what they should do, for your information and not Lagos state alone. Are their resources the same? Why not compare the growth and development of Lagos with Kebbi, Yobe, Jigawa, Zamfara and Adamawa states? What do you want to say about BUAâs ongoing 250,000 BPD refinery construction in Akwa Ibom state? What about the 20,000 BPD refinery in Edo state or Anambra state? What about the combined capacity 450,000 PH 1 & 2, and Warri refineries undergoing refitting? Are they not going to provide the same petrol needed? Whatâs the game changer with Dangote refinery? Abeg make we hear word. |

Give people alternatives like I had in Santorini. Divert away from excessive consumption of fuel and use the money saved to further enhance the public transportation system. When it is well developed, restrict the number of cars in all the CBDs using plate number codes. That way, people will be forced to leave the cars behind at home and use the public transportation system Yes, as it's done in Singapore. Also make parking along the streets illegal unless at designated spots or spots owned by the building owners as it's done in Japan. I'm glad the Lagos train system is being developed as nothing beats a safe, affordable, clean, efficient and fast train network system in a densely populated area. Lagos, being Nigeria's richest and smallest state, is best positioned to implement these policies and infrastructure. 1 Like |

Aussie2doc: Lagos don't have to convert BRT lanes to rail lines as each system is important. Perhaps, the advocacy should be on improvement, not eradication. After all, there are some couple of LRMT rail lines already planned to run inbetween the highways alongside vehicles, including the BRT. Perfect example are the BLUE LINES, about-to-commenced GREEN LINE, and the MONORAIL in the pipeline. So, BRT and Laswa LAGFERRY are systems that must not be sacrificed so as to encourage multiple options like the article claimed essential. 1 Like |

You've asked critical questions and here are the answers: what is the game that dangote refinery has changed and how has it changed the game? A game can only be changed if you give it time to work. It's barely a year since Dangote refinery began it operations. Judgments cannot be made yet. what are the limitations of government as an institution that citizens must acknowledge? The limitations that citizens must acknowledge are the facts that (1) the Government has limited resources (finance) for its high population. (2) the country has low social development such as poor education which affects the population and in effect, leads to a delinquent population that create risks such as crime and corruption. These limit government's functions. what help should Businesses, technocrats and passionate citizens give to government? Businesses, technocrats and passionate citizens should help the government in areas of expertise where the government lacks. The government neither knows it all nor have it all and may be required to seek partnerships and support from these groups. The citizens who are passionate enough can help by participating in passive governance and also adhering to the rules of the land such as payments of taxes and obeying basic laws and orders. where is it in the constitution that government supposed to get help from Businesses, technocrats and passionate citizens? It is not mandatory for the citizens, businesses or technocrats to help the government. It is completely optional. But it is stated in the constitution for every citizen to fulfill their obligation to the state by paying taxes and obeying the laws of the land. is government helping Businesses, technocrats and passionate citizens? It is the governments responsible to help small businesses and every citizen in the country. The Nigerian government have made several efforts to help businesses and citizens but circumstances beyond its control frustrated some of these efforts. Examples of these circumstances are: inadequate financial resources, high population rate and a probable existing corruption system. is it Businesses, technocrats and passionate citizens that is supposed to be helping government or the other way around? The government is supposed to help businesses and citizens. In a situation, the government is unable to make meaningful development in the state, it can invite high-revenue making businesses such as banks, corporations to support the government through a system called Public Private Partnerships. In a situation the government cannot help the citizens enough, the passionate citizens should become their own government by creating a community association in their respective communities and attend to little issues that the government cannot help them with. lexy2014: |
