prophetfire:Tinubu as a person have not talked about it but the SW Governor’s have been asking FG since last administration. If Nigerians are serious about it, we can join hands together and demand regionalism from tinubu. Tinubu I know can sure make it happen for us the way we want! 1 Like |

TemplarLandry: Keep silent if you don't know what is happening. Even as a former intern in one of the refineries, I know Nigeria's refinery will never work as long as it is under NNPC! Have you ever wondered why Ndorama Eleme Petrochemical which was also as bad as our refinery while under government, is working now? |

tolue42:I am shocked many Nigerians believed Tinubu when he said the refineries will start working again by December. Tinubu will eventually sell them to his friends |

GeneralPula: Yes Nepa now and the old Nepa either we admit it or not are completely different the major issue we have now is the distribution of our generated electricity, more investors need to come in As for refinery selling it off is the only way or worse case scenerio scrap it off most of those refinery are runing on old tecnology, upgrading them will cost more than building a new one same issue with our iron processing plant scrap them all or sell any dime spent on those stuff are going down the drain 1 Like |

This man is Nigerias biggest problem,the country has given him and his family so much and all he does is find ways to control whomsoever is in power,he said he asked shel to run the refineries, is shell the only oil company in Nigeria? Are there no other investors that he could have liased with? Doesn't he know that with subsidy on ground that nobody would want to invest in the refineries ventures? Did he make any move to sanitize the nnpcl and their agencies then? Obasanjo is an evil man that always thinks that his way is the only way, shameful soul that could not make any of the refineries to be productive during his time while he was president and petroleum minister together,this man is a useless and egoistic man. 1 Like |

HisSexcellency: I did my industrial training at warri refinery in 2008 and based on what I saw, I couldn't agree anymore with president Obasanjo. Apart from the four reasons shell gave, many of the equipments are comatose, the aviation fuel plant is a scrap yard, even if they manage to buy new equipments to replace the dead ones, they have to retrain all the staffs because the generation that got the refinery working are all retired, the people employed in the last 15 years don't know what it's like to have a working refinery. When we put all the cost of equipment, training and others together, it makes no sense for anyone or group to speculate that working refineries would bring down the price of petrol to #200/litre, only subsidies can make that possible. |

ecolime: If the government is too corrupt to function, then fix the government. The solution is not to sell government assets to private individuals operating within a corrupt government environment but to reform the systems like the Malaysian and Singaporean did in the 1970s. Why didn't OBJ persecute the corruption within NNPC? Or was he afraid of Danjuma and IBB, two key stakeholders in the corruption within the oil industry? The private sector cannot survive in a corrupt government unless it becomes corrupt. |

TemplarLandry: Try and know the distinction between Pessimism and Realism... Obasanjo has explained his position, and it is clearly irrefutable! The government clearly can't handle the Petroleum sector due to poor leadership and shocking levels of corruption... Fully privatizing them will be the way forward. |

CodeTemplar: Preach it...! Let Nigerians keep deceiving themselves. As long as we refuse to put aside ethnic and religious differences and address this rotten and corrupt system of government that has existed with us since the Civil war, there will be no progress in this nation. Leave your fellow citizens to keep celebrating crumbs and mediocrity like Flyovers and Railways, while their leaders rob them blind. |

KanwuliaExtra: Eternally DOOMED! That's why those hailing Tinubu make me laugh. No matter what the man does, if he fails to address the corruption in all key sectors (Oil, Electricity, Defense, etc), there will no true progress. Unfortunately, a deeply corrupt and morally compromised man has no bearing or standing to address and eliminate corruption. The blind can never properly lead the blind. If Buhari who is less corrupt oversaw a far more corrupt regime than his predecessor, how can anyone expect miracles or improvements with Tinubu??! Pure Delusion! |
