    I wish this Dangote Oil Refinery had happened at least six years ago! But no, all of them, Including Dangote were busy with oil importation and robbing the Federal Government and Nigerians Trillions of dollars in the process.

    Imagine the untold amount of dollars we would have saved? Imagine how rich we’d have become as a nation and as individuals if only we were able to refine our own crude oil? We should have been selling refined products with much more gains instead of shipping the crude at ridiculously low prices and end up importing refined products at higher prices.
