Nigerians are raising concerns over the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited's (NNPCL) decision to abandon the operation of its four refineries, opting instead to focus on distribution in partnership with the Dangote Refinery. This move has sparked widespread debate, with many questioning why the country's state-owned oil giant would cease its refinery operations, leaving the bulk of refining to a private enterprise.
"How can NNPCL abandon four refineries only to become a distributor with Dangote? This country is exhausting," expressed one frustrated citizen, reflecting the sentiments of many Nigerians who feel let down by the government's handling of the nation's oil sector.
As the conversation grows, many are looking to the NNPCL for answers on the future of domestic refining capacity and its broader implications for the Nigerian economy.
