Because, if our refineries are working, we would not have any cause to import fuel, let alone align the pump price with international market fuel price trend that makes it costly for common man.

The product would have been more cheaper if the refineries are working.

Let's here your view please

Because we are a failed nation from the onset.

My brother the earlier we forget we have a government and focus your strength on the way forward for own success the better.

For me I'm my own government. Because I pay government. They don't pay me, considering all the VATS and TAXES. They have no impact in my life whatsoever. Instead, I take care of their fat tummies, they don't don't take care of me.

Frankly speaking sometimes I I feel like shedding tears for their supporters clubs. Because have no idea what they are asking for.

But only time will tell.

To make things work in Nigeria, our government make look like rocket science. Because we do see people setting up refineries but when government catches them, they call it it illegal refinery...to me its not something complex as painted by the government.

Same with electricity, there are companies generating their own electricity in the country as we speak

I just don't know why they refuse to do the right thing

Because we have been buying fuel below the production cost.

As a result, NNPC over the years cannot make the profits needed to maintain and fix the refineries

The problem started in the early 90s. That is when the IMF was advising us to let the market control the prices and end subsides but because 'nigerians are poor' we kept on subsidising fuel

Thus the money maker became the subsides . And the refineries were left to rot.

Thus endeth the tale

Some people need to die before we can attain that height

Neo colonialism.......African nations have been designated o be exporters of raw materials (including crude oil) and importers of value added products (such as PMS)

If anything we should be exporting PMS to other African countries and the western world at prices we dictate.

Just as Nigeria never make progress with this current constitution so shall it's refinary not going to work

Our leaders living of the the backwardness of the country...its bad. Same applies to d power sector
