Dangote Refinery: Nigeria Kills Its Own – Aisha Yesufu

A social and political critic, Aisha Yesufu has said that Nigeria kills its own.

While appealing that the Dangote Refinery not be allowed to fail, Yesufu urged all hands to be on deck to ensure it succeeds.

Her statement comes after the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority said the Dangote refinery has not been licensed to begin operations in the country.

Farouk Ahmed, the Chief Executive Officer of NMDPRA, had made the claims during a chat with journalists at the State House, Abuja on Thursday.

Ahmed revealed that the refinery was still in the pre-commissioning stage and had not been licensed yet, noting that there were concerns about the quality of petroleum products produced by the Dangote refinery.

He had alleged that the quality of product churned out from the new refinery was inferior to imported commodities.

He said, “So, in terms of quality, currently, the AGO quality in terms of sulfur is the lowest as far as a West African requirement of 50 ppm”, he said.

However, reacting to a call by an X user @Oluseun Onigbinde for the regulator to be sanctioned for the claim against the Dangote refinery, Yesufu said Nigerians should speak up.

The social critic said that Dangote now feels what Nigerian business people with no government connections feel and go through always.

She said: “Nigeria kills its own. I truly agree with you, the refinery should not fail. All hands should be on deck to ensure it succeeds.

“Alhaji Dangote @AlikoDangote now feels what Nigerian business people with no government connections have always felt and gone through.

How dreams are stolen and destroyed. Just yesterday LandMark got its share and there was silence from the business community.

“When you speak up when others are affected, it is to ensure that a stop is put to such injustice so it never gets to you.”
