At 90%+ functionality, our refineries should be churning out between 22-33 million litres of PMS/day; which should be enough . . . depending on who you believe. P.S. Well according to them (ministry of petroleum), the TAM has started since last October. |

Hopefully we will also be able to turn around the refineries we already have and make them function 1 Like |

People confuse buying fuel for N150 per liter during a 3 week fuel strike or crisis because the product is scarce and paying for fuel at N150 every day per liter for years. Can you afford it? How much is your salary or income? How many low and middle income people can pay N1500 per day for 10 liters for their cars and another 10 liters for their generators. Can you times that in 7 days and an additional 30 days and you don't want Nigerians to be corrupt or do illegal things to sustain their lives. A country that produces fuel should at least benefit some thing no matter how small from this God given gift. The government should not punish citizens for its inefficiencies and any plan to withdraw subsidy would be met with stiff opposition from the masses and Buhari should not even try it. No amount of propaganda or arm twisting would make us cow to the government to punish us. Have you thought of the pepper seller or meat seller or shoemaker struggling to buy fuel now and with the withdrawal of the subsidy how would he be able to pay N150 per litre daily. Is Buhari going to subsidy the corn seller too? Do you know how this fuel scarcity with fuel selling above N150 has affected other sectors of the society? Do you know how people are struggling to make ends meet or sleeping in perennial darkness because because they can't afford to pay for this N150 per liter? Have you thought of the thousands of people in Osun who cannot make ends meet because they haven't been paid for over 5 months to now still pay for N150 per liter tomorrow. Does the government want to wipe out the low class completely and incapacitate the middle class? I don't buy this idea of wiping out the subsidy because it's making a few people overnight billionaires. How can you compare the joy of a few thousands to the sufferings of over 160million people? When there is fuel and it's sold at a reasonable price that is affordable do you think the masses care who is making a killing financially or not? With the affordable price, people can go about their business happily and make the small profit they are comfortable with to feed and support their families. If the government is against it or looking for money to subsidize fuel, they should look inwards and cut down on their foreign trips, estacodes, dollar allowances, numbers of P.As or government agencies / ghost workers that are stifling our economy everyday with no end result. Bottom line Buhari shouldn't try it because Occupy Nigeria part 2 would be more intense and electrifying. 3 Likes |

So is the writer now insinuating that we shouldn't stop importation,leave our refineries to rotten... Point of correction,getting the refinery to work can not be immediate, it's a process. Why do we Nigerians always look at the negative side without the positive side.. Pessimism I guess... Please try and be positive, talk about how repairing our refineries would generate employment and not how people would lose their jobs... 1 Like |

Martins301: I take points 1 and 3. Point 1 (Our refineries are not yet ready - so also the depots, pipelines and pumping stations) is the main reason for now and point 3 is a sacrifice we are going to have to make. As for point 2 (Government generates revenue from the process), I say: Is it not the same revenue (and more) that the government is giving back to the importers in the name of subsidy? Point 4 (Fraudulent oil marketers are benefiting from the process) You mean they will try and sabotage the process. Alright, they should go ahead. They should however be ready to face the full force of our collective will as a nation. It is time to start putting criminals where they belong. Point 5 (Risk of unemployment) Those jobs will be more than compensated for by the jobs that will be created when we build our own refineries, depots, pipelines and pumping stations. Just imagine for instance the number of NSCDC personnel that will be employed to protect over 10,000 kilometres of pipelines and a couple hundred pumping stations, more so since saboteurs will be lurking around because they are benefiting from importation. Good points though. 2 Likes |

r33d:The major factor militating against local refining is the subsidy regime. If we had done the needful a long time ago instead of adamantly refusing to yield to better reasons , by now a lot of private investors would have taken the risk of investing in the sector. For so long as we refuse to accept the reality, so long will our refineries remain moribund. We need to sell off the existing refineries as scrap, putting more money into fixing them would continue to be a wasteful exercise with no appreciable economic benefit. Right now, we spend hundreds of millions of dollars every year on turnaround maintenance with no commensurate benefit. Kaduna refinery has never fully worked for one whole month after every maintenance. Those Alhajis intent on making money from bridging always find a way of blowing up the refurbished engines, the nefarious activities of pipeline vandals is another major challenge. Govt should hand off refinery, remove subsidy, encourage private investors with good incentives and with time we'd all begin to enjoy the benefits 4 Likes |

Why don't you stop thinking about how it will not work, and focus on how to overcome this obstacles and make it work For a system, a failed one at that, to change, there has to be sacrifices made, for the greater good, if we don't stop importing fuel now, there won't even be jobs to lose in the future 90% of Nigeria's problems are interrelated, and oil is an integral part of that relations, if you think you want to effect change without tackling this problem, you are simply deceiving yourself!! Do you want to suffer a little now and secure The future, OR, be complacent, compromise, keep managing the situation and inturn jeopardise the future |
