HEADLINENEWS.NEWS Correspondent gathered that Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has called for caution as the Dangote Refinery and the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission exchange words over the supply of crude to the refinery.
Atiku, in a post on its X handle on Saturday said the nurturing and development of the 650,000-capacity refinery should be a primary focus.
“Each parent eagerly awaiting the arrival of a child will dutifully undertake the necessary measures to ensure that the nurturing and development of this precious blessing remain a primary focus,” he stated.
The politician maintained that this fundamental principle applied equally to investments, whether they were local or international in nature.
With this understanding, I am cautious in considering any deliberate attempts to impede the progress of the Dangote Refinery, a significant private sector project positioned to meet our energy and forex needs.
“Alongside numerous fellow citizens of goodwill, I call upon all Nigerians to take resolute actions to provide reassurance that both internal and external forces are not collaborating to prevent us from reaping the benefits promised by this eagerly anticipated transformative endeavour,” he submitted.
Recall that the crude crisis rocking the Dangote oil refinery took a new twist on Friday.
