Agbakoba Urges Nigeria to Fix Own Refineries Instead of Taking over Dangote’s Own

Senior Partner, Olisa Agabkoba Legal, Dr Olisa Agbakoba (SAN), has urged the federal government to focus on fixing the country’s refineries rather than taking over DangoteRefinery as suggested by Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), Prof. Itse Sagay.

In a statement signed by Agbakoba and made available to THISDAY on Monday, he argued that the government can fix all its refineries and make the Dangote refinery irrelevant.

“On Monday, in an interview, says the constitution allows the federal government to take over the Dangote Refinery, pay him compensation and then sell the products at the prices Nigerians can afford.

“But why take over what a private individual built? Why can’t the federal government fix its refineries all these years and make Dangote irrelevant? Why allow an efficient Businessman to 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,” he said.
