The refinery is 100℅ privately funded and the oil to be refine will come from Niger republic so what bring Niger Delta into this?

i know education isnt merit based in your region but here we analyse analytically that being said.....if its a private refinery and they intend to also buy oil from niger republic govt has no biz signing an agreement with them. Its either the govt puts a cap on oil importarion or they make it a free access commodity ie reduce tariffs.. which wouod apply to every investor in that sector. Or ie this agreement strictly biased towards a single player. Well afterall na only dangote and this katsina ...govt deems fit to suppirt with our oil money.

-Of what economic value is a refinery in Kastina State or have it become an oil-producing state

Ibrahimmrfish:

By trying to prove u that u are smart,expose u stu-pidity. So u mean a private company can just lay down pipe from Niger to Nigeria without involving the government of both countries. For person that talking about education being on merit,u don't sound like a graduate.You sound like a person with a limited knowledge of international affairs. So next time before u insult a whole region,just look at yours first.

You ediotic ranter....pipes do not have to be laid to build a refinery from niger to nigeria. Thats how ur ppl built pipes from nd to kaduna ....a very lousy way of thinking. Everything is political. The US is our biggest importer of fuel i dnt rmba pipes being laid from here. So oga ...vamoose.

Ndonu101:
on whose behalf is Buhari signing this

is there no NASS approval required?

I hope they are not using FG money to build refinery in Buhari's backyard for Buhari and claim it is private sector driven?

Lol, who in his right sense will build a refinery in a terrorist haven I just hope Boko Haram will not turn it into perpetual burning furnace and he'll fire. They are only gambling with $2 billion and the lives of those around. I won't be found anywhere within 40 miles radius of that time bomb

you are a fool. you think every one is dullard .... which oil deposit is available in Niger Republic...... Are you okay ?
That is what i'm telling people that the igbo are political divided because of the oil deposit. there is nothing like south- east south and south-south
, you guys need to come together and fight for your common goal if care is nothing taking you people will be enslaved.

That's a smokescreen! These people really think we are foo.ls, I can bet with a million dollars that this refinery is being financed by FG and they even sent an open invitation to NNPC to make it look like they are observers when in actual sense it is NNPC that is providing the funds. I really pity the Niger Delta people; the oil is in your region yet the monies are being taken out to develop other places while you have only pollution to contend with!! Dangote is building one in Lagos, now buhari is building another at the border of Nigeria with Niger. While in the region that has the oil, non is being built!! On the flip side, I guess North is actually preparing for a possible breakup of Nigeria and trying to join their brothers in Niger. First was building schools in Niger when northerners are mostly illiterates. Second was building a railway line into Niger. Now is building a refinery and pipelines into Niger!! Yet people in the South are keeping quiet like Dundee united!! Ndi eriri eri.

Tolexander:
Because it is a bilateral agreement between Nigeria and Niger republic. The source of the crude oil will be from Niger republic while the refinery will be in Nigeria.

Xander85:


Whereas when it comes to the south (esp' SE and SS), any project that is federally-driven or needs federal approval/funds, you see Buhari dithering, procrastinating and being even more sneaky than the Artful Dodger; on the other hand when it comes to the north (esp' the core north), before you can drop you cup of tea and shout WTF , the project/scheme is already signed, sealed and waiting to be delivered!

Check out what's happening with: the Ogoni cleanup; 2nd Niger Bridge; Onitsha river port; railway construction (where SE and SS have to wait in line till others have theirs first); the new Terminal at AIIA (where work has stopped while those in Lagos, Kano, Abuja and Port Harcourt are soon to be commissioned);etc! Now juxtapose the snail pace of approvals/works on these projects with the speed with which the following were approved/built: the illegal deduction of $1 Billion for security in the north east; Baro inland river port; Kaduna inland port; Kaduna-Abuja rail; Abuja metro; the terminals in Kano, Kaduna, Abuja and Lagos airports, etc!

'One Nigeria', don't you just love it?

And this Oil Magnate setting up Refinery in Katsina of all places what was his oil trading history

it is very very very suspect to me. Buhari has a history of using Surrogates to mask his theft. This so called Bilateral trade must be scrutinised.

Buhari who refused to sign a Free trade agreement between various African Countries recently seems to be moving quickly on this one!

ladman:


While pipes do not have to be laid, it might be safer or economically feasible based on the terrain. US is not our biggest importer of fuel, and you cannot compare transatlantic crude trade with land borders. We can be suspicious of the private nature but if the private company will lay pipes and take crude commodity from another country, it has to be political, hence the bilateral agreement.

And Niger Republic has become an oil producing nation? Wonderful! Clap for yaself.

When other advance countries are dumping oil and embracing alternative energy, somebody here in Nigeria still want put his hard earn money on waste. Supposing, if he did not win next year election, so where will the money come from? O
