Nigerian Government Must Ensure Dangote Refinery’s Success, Says Kwankwaso

Foremost politician Rabiu Kwankwaso on Wednesday charged the Nigerian government not to allow the Dangote refinery to fail.

Kwankwaso said creating unnecessary fuss around the integrity of Dangote’s refinery by some government officials was unfortunate.

Founder of the refinery, Aliko Dangote had accused the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited of allegedly frustrating the functionality of the refinery.

Commenting on the saga between Dangote and the Nigerian government, Kwankwaso said the Nigerian government must exhibit fairness towards such a monumental project.

Posting on X, Kwankwaso wrote: “I was privileged to visit the magnificent Dangote Refinery, and I was marvelled by the sheer commitment that went into the quality of its establishment.

“This 650,000 bpd refinery is essential for our energy needs and economic stability, and it must be protected from all forms of threat.

“The creation of unnecessary fuss around its integrity by some vested interests is very unfortunate, and it stands to undo all the years of hard work to maintain the fragile investor confidence in our economy.

“It’s time for us to rally around this National Asset to ensure that the monumental project does not fail. It cannot fail, and the Nigerian government must understand this by demonstrating fairness and confidence in both domestic and foreign critical investments.
