Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo state has said that it is quite shameful that Nigeria still imports fuel despite being one of the largest producers of crude oil in the world.



Obaseki said this in Ewohimi, Esan South East Local Government Area of Edo State, at the 10-year remembrance service of Chief Jeremiah Ighodalo, father of Chairman of Sterling Bank Plc, Dr. Asue Ighodalo.



He said;



“The continuous importation of fuel into the nation is a patriotic shame to Nigeria.

“As one of the largest producers of crude oil in the African continent, Nigeria has no business importing fuel into the country. It’s a shame we are still importing fuel.

"As a nation, we should not be importing fuel at this point in our life. It’s a patriotic shame borrowing from the words of Nigerian writer, Chimamanda Adiche.”

He.is as corrupt as other leaders and in turns part of the hardship citizens are passing through. He is a leader of a state.

What do u expect from a country which has the second largest fuel in the world and doesn't have a single refinery to do than to import from other countries.

Make una nor answer am oh, erosion don nearly take over govt house o for Benin o, we dey run go house if rain wan fall, na scam Governor and MOU Lord.

It's intentional, cos importations is the major and easy way to loot , that's why they prefer we remain a consuming nation. U are quilty too cos I don't see why all oil producing states can't have a refinery
