Hope Uzodinma, Imo Governor has shared his opinions regarding petroleum products and refineries in the country at a meeting with other Governors and NNPC Group managing director and chief executive officer in Abuja. while addressing the press he said ”I don’t think you or me will be happy as a Nigerian, an OPEC member producing crude oil, relying on importation for our people to make use of petrolueum product …we must encourage the homegrown solution; introduced by the president, encourage Dangote refinery and we should repair our port Harcourt and warri refineries and then produce what we need and eat what we produce.
WHICH OTHER MEMBER OF OPEC COUNTRY OF OUR STATUS IS NOT REFINING CRUDE OIL IN THEIR COUNTRY ??? WE CAN’T RELY ON IMPORTATION OF PETROLUEM PRODUCT AS A PRODUCING COUNTRY he said!
He Further stated his support to buying petrolueum products in naira, if we refine our crude locally, we create jobs. we sympathize with our people we know there is hardship in the country and we thank Mr. president for his reforms we hope relieve will come soon he concluded.
