He's one of the major problems we have in this country

The poster above me is WRONG. I just dont have time to engage people who know little.

OkCornel:
Dangote must compete. No problem.

But why aren’t the government owned refineries working despite spending more than twice as much what Dangote used to set up a brand new refinery on maintenance between 1999-2024?

Antitankweapon:
Those refineries were privatised by OBJ, which was the right thing to do. Another govt, Yar Adua, came and reversed the privatisation. That is the problem. They need to be privatised for efficient operations.

Enough of pampering Dangote by successive govts. Enough please. He has become an entitled spoilt child always running to FG. He is NOT the only industrialist in Nigeria. Enough of pampering Dangote please. See examples.

A) Innoson competes with car importers
B) ProForce competes with imported MRAPS
B) Air Peace competes with foreign airlines
C) Transcorp competes with foreign owned
E) Banks compete with foreign banks
F) FMCG companies compete with importers

Dangote is not the only industrialist in Naija.

Every business should compete. Sometimes, imports might be cheaper for consumers. Dangote cement and sugar are more expensive than imported ones.

Dangote used a BAN on cement and sugar to destroy other Nigerian companies. Ibeto cement and Nigercem were destroyed by Dangote, thousands of jobs lost and cement price skyrocketed. Thanks to OBJ & Buhari.

Also, Dangote's persistent war with BUA is a pointer to the RISKS of granting his wishes.

As Dangote's refinery is home based, he has lots of advantages over importers. He should be able to offer cheaper quality fuel and win the market. Why is he looking for a BAN to destroy other companies that have supplied fuel before his refinery.

You don't understand how this works or exactly what is happening. Do you?

Let me just give you a clue of what's going on. Government cabals were selling diesel at high price after refusing Dangote refinery our raw material (crude oil). Dangote refinery bought their raw material from outside and crashed the price of diesel, realistically, that's competition (that was a loss on the government oil cabals who saw it as a challenge). So, they started labelling Dangote's petrol as inferior (in the background that is, directly to IPMAN retailers patronising Dangote) thereby discouraging consumers. Dangote responded to them openly by accusations in order to expose them and he was right, we're now getting to know the root cause of our inability to refine oil problems for decades. If Dangote had not ventured into refinery, no one would have known what is and/or was going on for decades in that sector.

Other businesses you mentioned are not in direct competition or conflict of any kind with the government. Got it?

You are wrong, one of the cardinal pillars of a Refinery is feedstock supply, are you saying this dude finished building his refinery without signing contracts for feedstock suppliers? Something is really wrong.

PUNCH newspaper has taken the job of running propaganda for Dangote. PUNCH newspaper, with their shallow reporting , has started the propaganda that local refineries can end fuel imports. Hell NO. We say NO.

Local companies have many advantages over Importers. They have lots of advantages over importers. Local companies should best importers based on unit economics. There is no need for a BAN when Local companies have home advantages. Simple.

Dangote wants to ban imports , but export his own fuel. Can you imagine.

The same way they said local cement manufacturers can meet our cement needs, today cement is N10,000 per bag. From N1,500 to N10,000. Local companies have only skyrocketed price.

The FG should not give in to propaganda. Other companies are competing just fine. Dangote refinery should compete.

Dangote is NOT the only industrialist in Nigeria. Everything Dangote produces, he wants a ban for. No. Economics don't work like that.
