You think it’s the “Subsidy is gone” statement that made Dangote in your words “invest this much”.

Dangote has been building that refinery since 2013/2014 during GEJs tenure.

If not for Covid, APC that put the country in 2 recessions, the refinery would have been concluded and operational since 2015.
U said nothing here 🤣

When did COVID happened 😂

Hatred don block this one eyes o 😂

This game-changing news from the PDP licensed deregulation refinery should help eb1lokan crash petrol price as promised in January 2023, unlike his expired APC predecessor, who failed for eight years to deliver.

Petrol should never cost more than N70 per litre, says APC

January 19, 2015

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has described as mere tokenism the reduction of petrol price from N97 to N87 per litre, saying the petroleum product ordinarily should sell for N70.

On Sunday, the federal government announced the reduction of petrol price, citing the fall of global crude oil price.

But the APC through Lai Mohammed, its spokesman, on Monday accused the government of making a show out of deceit, saying “a 10.3 per cent slash in the price of petrol was a mere tokenism at a time the price of crude oil has crashed by about 60 per cent”.

It argued that the pump price of a litre of petrol should not be more than 70 Naira, alleging that at N87 per litre, the government was forcing Nigerians to subsidise the massive corruption in the oil sector by N17 for every litre of fuel.

Buhari’ll reduce petrol to N40/L —David-West

FORMER Minister of Petroleum and Energy, Prof. Tamunoemi David-West, said that Nigerians should expect sharp drop in petrol price from the current N87 to about N40 per litre, saying, “the president-elect, Gen. Mohammed Buhari, will reduce the fuel pump price to N40 per litre.”

Words could be as powerful as " subsidy is gone " that changes the dynamics of the oil sector. Without that singular pronouncement accompanied with a political will, Dangote would not have invested so much. The last time we experienced fuel scarcity and scorching queues at filling stations was over two years ago but of course, we take it for granted. Just as we thought the economy was only meant for the rich when the telecommunication sector was opened up, we thought the average masses had been thrown under the bus. A few years down the line, that policy became one of the eleven wonders of the world in Nigeria.

-Kiss the truth!
Funny! You don't experience fuel scarcity anymore because the people are too poor to afford it not because of improved supply or logistics. Presently, the rich are getting richer and the poor poorer in Nigeria. The middle class has but all disappear. That's the present reality of most Nigerian. You created a problem and expect me to clap for you for solving it! Only a paid bot would do that.

I feel your pain.

Tinubu said subsidy is gone' and it's gone. This historic statement is an encouragement to any serious business men like dangote and rabiu.

Any queue for fuel at fuel station in the last 2 years? No.

Not at all, though costly. Yes, it'll come down. Enough of government funding fuel importers.

I'm convinced that the glory of Nigeria and Nigerians shall return during the time of PBAT.

You don't have to clap but just be watching the undeniable progress of Nigeria.

Let me tell you, I don't know if you have a car. Nigerians are not too poor to buy fuel. Nigerians have just reduced their waka waka. I hardly go visiting these days bcoz I plan my fuel and I like it that way.

Are you kidding or just being Funny, whether subsidy is gone or not that does not impede the running of Dangote refinery
A subsidy govt would have engage dangote directly to subsidy just like FG engage marketers to subsidy

. Dangote refinery was built ahead of Tinubu or subsidy is gone regime How can you sanely posit Dangote wont invest more for smooth running ... how much will he spend that can be more than the cost invested to build the refinery

Why do you people of Tinubu side never think things through or bwala is right afterall.

we are buying fuel at ×3 the price and you expect something that expensive to be scarce ... do you even understand the concept of demand and supply

No dangote driver without drivers license. Individual attitude or habits or problems dont discredit their license. That's why after drivers license theres need for emotional integrity test/intelligence, safety reasoning and public transportation safety

Let him be fooling himself with his package lies.
I read his comment, I was like: is this guy drunk in lies or he is not in niigeria at all.

He even dare to mention subsidy like a child's play. It is as if some of us weren't aware of previous proclamations and back tracks.

We said the same thing under buhari, did thr glory of Nigeria return?

If we as a people keep lying to ourselves just because we have personal affiliation, then we should nt expect much. The subject of Corruption still remain largely an issue which the current administration is selective about.

Hmm... that's the point. Some have limited their activities because of paucity of funds. This also goes for some economic activities that have been stifled because of the austerity measures imposed on Nigerians by the politicians. While the same politicians are living lavishly.

Dangote had invested that much years, years, years before the Tinubu Presidency. Or do you think he built that refinery in one year after Tinubu. Are you okay? You people sha.
Yes he invested for years but the previous administration made sure his efforts were frustrated. Due to thier policies. If not for this tinubu administration you think dangote would have prosper in the oil and gas sector?

Keep deceiving yourself, dangote would have gone ahead even if subsidy wasn't removed.
You are not quite right sir,subsidy it self was what was keeping private investors away from petrol refining......no investor was ready to risk their money without the full deregulation of the downstream sector..... You people think a multi billion dollar investment would just be made on a whim,if the APC/Buhari govt hadn't given dangote the assurances that subsidy would end and the continuation of that policy by timubu,that project would only just be on
paper......that's why many dim witted Nigerians think Nigeria can be like America in just 2 yrs.
