Why Can't FG Fix Its Refineries All These Years And Make Dangote Irrelevant? - Agbakoba Chief Olisa Agbakoba (SAN), a former president of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) has faulted calls by some Nigerians that the federal government should take over the Dangote refinery. Prof. Itse Sagay (SAN), former chairman of the Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption (PACAC) in an interview with TheScrutinyNG had said the Nigerian constitution empowers the federal government to take over the refinery and then pay compensation to the owner, Aliko Dangote. "Honestly, we are going through a sort of emergency right now. Under section 305, the Nigerian government has power to take over the refinery and pay appropriate compensation to the owner” Sagay had said. However, in a chat with our correspondent, Agbakoba said it is wrong for the FG to take over another man’s sweat just because it is alleged that he is cheating Nigerians. "But why take over what a private individual built ? Why can’t the FG fix its refineries all these years and make Dangote irrelevant". "Why allow an efficient businessman hold you to ransom when there is a very simple alternative?". "The simple alternative for us all is this - let Nigeria work . Let there be light . Let there be food . Let there be water. Let there be jobs . Let there be money schools health care roads etc" . "This is how to render Dangote irrelevant and not as Suggested by taking over another man’s sweat even if the sweat is to cheat us . Let the FG do its own refineries and bluff Dangote". https://thescrutinyng.com/2024/07/22/why-cant-fg-fix-its-refineries-all-these-years-and-make-dangote-irrelevant-agbakoba/

The annual “Turn Around Maintenance” budgetary allocation has to be embezzled na… Now let’s all do a little research on how much the Nigerian government has spent on “Turn Around Maintenance” of the refineries from 1999-2024. Then compare that amount to how much it costs Dangote to set up his refinery. E shock you abi? A wasted generation of stupid thieves! Now sit back and ask yourself, does it really make any iota of sense in trusting a typical Nigerian politician?No! Until the masses unite and pressure these greedy fools to do what they are meant to do, the sufferings will continue. Wake up! Ponder on these things the elite have used to divide you for so long. You never chose the tribe or religion you were born into. Wake up Nigerians! Enough of the stupidity.

Why is Dangote also making unnecessary noise? Since things have been favouring him, he never complained, so he should stop bugging us about his differences with the FG |

Corruption and poor. Management can never allow government to get it right.. We still have a long way to go. Corruption is seriously fighting back, it's not going to be easy |

Exactly. Fix them and end the idea of monopoly on the spot. But they are liars who wont do what they are suppose to because they are the beneficiaries of the comatose refineries. |

Simply because of lack of political will secondary to entrenched government institutionalised corruption. |

Good question!! The claim is that he was given subsidised dollars to enable the completion of the refinery. Honestly to me, that issue is neither here nor there. Bottom line is we can the result! He delivered!! What about the billions devoted to TAT of our state owned refineries?? Why is no one asking about that?? |

alezzy13:Check how much these fraudsters have spent on Turn around maintenance of the refineries from 1999 till date. Then compare it to the cost of Dangote refinery. That is two Dangote refineries plus a few billion dollars to spare! |

COMRADES, which FG? The current one? The answer is NO! A government that will fix these refineries is coming in 2027, but not the government of APC and Tinubu |

So you wanna cut your nose to spite your face? Monopoly is taking advantage of being a single supplier to increase price. Do you think Dangote will sell petrol higher than imported ones? If no, why not buy from him rather than importing? helinues: |
| Re: Why Can't FG Fix Refineries And Sideline Dangote? - Agbakoba by helinues: 2:28pm On Jul 22, 2024 |
DMerciful:Try and be consistent with your arguments. When you guys were complaining about Dangote's monopoly, did you see us shooking mouth? Una go just dey shift the goal post anyhow |

nairavsdollars:Funny Nigerians think they can just utter "let there be", and "there is", because the book they got it from has that early in the beginning and leaves out all that was between "let there be", and "there was". In the same breathe, they quickly forget they were not created in God's image to "Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground”, but were created from mud and ordered to slave naked in a tiny poxy garden. Until we Nigerians eat the fruits of the trees of knowledge so our eyes open and we discover that knowledge does not kill but will make us be as gods, all our "let there be" will end up with us yelling "Nepa!"

So you're taking strategic decisions based on emotions? When there are other players and you force them out to favor Dangote, people will complain but when there are no players because the 4 national refineries are in comatose, you encourage anyone that has shown capacity. Wisdom is profitable to direct helinues: |

We have come back to Square One. How can one country put all its hope on ONE MAN Who do they think they're fooling After lying to us that our refineries will start working before Buhari left, they tried to shift renewed hope to Dangote, a private business man thinking they can fool us. Dangote can decide to close his refinery tomorrow, it's his private business, not national business even if we have shares there.
