Since from a child I ve held that nigeria used to have refinery which was not working . Is it that we can't work it or install another one.

They are some cabals that need to die for that place to function

The govt knows what is wrong but the cabals that have supported their elections one way or another makes windfalls from the importation of pet products. Therefore, pay back means the refineries should repair in utter state of disrepair and new ones should not be built.

Jonathan is the right person to answer the question now!!

Corruption is the main sickness of our refinery.

Corruption and poor leadership plagues the entire system.

Please what is a Refinery? Do we have refineries in Nigeria?

witches turn or refineries to coven

Obsolete machines. New ones are needed instead.

Maga

May God help us in this country.

Why would dey fix the refinery when the likes of gbenga- obasanjos son, imports oil. No wonder his father screwed madnes out of his wifes congo (gbenga is riping what he sowed) lol.

There is a solid agreement b/w a certain cabal and any succeeding govt. in Nigeria. This cabal is so powerful that it ushers in and protects the govt but in exchange, the govt must not stop oil importation by fixing the refineries. It is an unfortunate situation that started in the bad days of military regime. Now the cabal is so strong that they can sponsor the impeachment of the president or assassinate just anybody.

This is why since 1999; the executive, legislature, judiciary or other govt agencies have been very afraid to make any serious statement or move towards fixing the refineries. It is a no-go-area. The best any top govt official can do is to secure the crude-lifting licence and then site his own refinery outside the shores of this country. He will ship in the refined product and  start selling at int'l price. When the sitting govt can no longer bear the high cost of maintaining the shady deals, they shift the burden to the masses in the form of pump price increment, removal of subsidy, re introduction of tolling etc.

WE ARE YET TO HAVE A LEADER THAT CAN CHANGE THIS EVIL.

had to go put on my bulletproof first. the refineries are working but largely underproducing.

Allison Madueke shud be in a beta position to answer dis question, we only have the refinery structures

Someone should get this question to goodluck

Oga if you can fix your English then I guess things might be okay. If you can’t write 2 sentences… what else do you expect from 9ja's refinery.

Anyway, politics is what’s halting 9ja's refinery from being a full functioning factory

What stops the private sector from setting up refineries in Nigeria?

The most accurate response to the thread so far.

The cabal will never allow that plans to see the day light

and u can speak better nw, abi?

OP, why not as your papa this question?

some cabal are involved in the importation of finished petroleum products, so wen refineries are built, they are out of biz, so they do anythin to stop it, GOD SAVE US

next president-elect shld swear on oath that s/he'll fix d refineries, failure of which s/he should be hanged.

The refineries should be sold not repaired. Every 4 years they award bogus contracts for Turn Around Maintenance and yet no progress.

Ask them looters
