That is a no brainer. Dangote can raise money and buy them out.....so he can have monopoly of petroleum products 🙂

I pity those who will fall for this trap. Buying those refineries now is like buying a faulty Mercedes 230 when others are buying GLE 450. Where will you get the parts to fix it?

Using new parts to fix wornout parts of the PH refinery is one of the reasons it never meets the repair completion target. Once they try to power the refinery, another part breaks down.
I think the turnaround maintenance carried out was a total engine replacement. Using your analogy, it’s like replacing all the engines and electrical components of an old car with brand new components.

Will they find a willing buyer? Yes if there is access to crude.

You don't need a reasonable response cos no matter what the govt do, you'll never get satisfied. Are you the one that wants to buy the refineries? Leave those that are interested in it to sort it out, it's none of your business.

After using govt money to "renovate" them....! Why didn't they take this decision right from the start? Why now after sinking a lot of billions into it's turnaround maintenance...*and to think some people work in these moribund refineries doing nothing but just collecting huge salaries🤔
Simple answer, use state resources to fix the refinery and sell it off to a crony of the government for pennies on the dollar. And the Nigerian plot thickens

My brother I get surprised when ignorant people hails Yaradua as the best President. How could he? Yaradua set Nigeria backward for over 17years by reversing the privatization of those Refineries by the OBJ government. That singular act do us bad things.
maybe dangote was trying to make it functional, you never can tell... Jonathan sold nepa, but he failed to sell the refineries

Rest, oga! Dangote bought it when Obasanjo was still in government before Yar'adua rescinded the deal. That should be over 15 years ago or even more. Do you know what they call lifespan?

You people just don't want any good things to happen to Nigeria. You will sit in one corner of your room saying what you don't know. Will investors just buy a refinery without doing their own research on it?
Re: Port Harcourt, Warri, Kaduna Refineries To Be Privatised – Sunday Dare by nwirinedu(m): 3:04pm On Nov 26, 2024
This has been the plan all along, to sell these things to cronies, thats why repairs are made. Why spend money to fix something you want to sell, unless you're a beneficiary?

The consequence of borrowing, selling off assets that can generate cash for you so that you can keep borrowing.

To think that Yar Adua had the opportunity to sell port Harcourt refinery to Dangote during his tenure..this long cry of fuel subsidy, import and high prices would have been eliminated at least a decade ago

This is what you get when visionless people are in power..refused to transfer it to private hands and left it to rot..

Today they are beginning private companies to take over it..funny enough they had to spend their money to repair it first.
What are you saying, Obasanjo actually sold one bonny to Dangote but the said Yaradua reversed it claiming govt properties not foe sale. And here we are again.

You would say otherwise when knowing that the buyers are government cronies. You are going to call them (the buyers) unprintable names without pity. Save the pity.

Ẹnu t'óní adé ò gún, òun l'ówá sọpé adégún. When Atiku said this during his campaign that he will privatise all these moribund refineries and channel the fund into a better project. APCheat miscreants, their e-rats and dummies labelled him all sort of names. The same step they are about to take now. I keep telling people that APCheat has nothing to offer Nigeria, the earlier the better. Their primary goal is to wrestle power from PDP. People that come to government without no preparation. Shebi that is Thiefn00bu performing Lagos magic up there, (Thiefn00bu build Lagos) lol🤣🤣🤣 Òun nìyẹn kẹma bayí😂😂😂

"Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar has said he would privatise the Warri, Kaduna and Port-Harcourt refineries to raise $10 billion to set up small and medium scale industries for Nigerian youths."

As long as those cronies will keep the refineries functional so Nigerians can be assured of availability of affordable petrol all year round, let them be sold.

We've had enough of that depressing circle where taxpayers monies are buried into turnaround maintenance every four years only for the refineries to produce nothing.

Mistakes have been made and we ended up with Tinubu. We may not be happy but let's all support progressive initiatives.

And for those asking why government had to spend money repairing when they intend to sell them?! It is more profitable to fix a defective product before selling, than to sell it in its bad state.
