Barrister Michael Ogboru, son of Great Ovedje Ogboru, the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) governorship candidate in the last governorship election, and Hon.

Why Nigeria’s Refineries Will Never Function – Obasanjo

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has opened up on the moribund status of the four oil refineries in Nigeria and why such a situation will persist.

The four refineries are located in Warri, Port Harcourt and Kaduna states.

Recall that President Bola Tinubu last month promised that the petroleum refinery in Port Harcourt will start working by December 2023.

The President stated this when he met with labour unions at the State House in Abuja to stop the last nationwide protest.

During an interview with The Cable Online Newspaper, Obasanjo said the refineries will never work as long as the government continues to claim their ownership.

The former president said he invited Shell Oil Development Company to take over the refineries, but they outrightly declined, citing many reasons.

He disclosed that after much persuasion, the managing director of Shell at the time listed four reasons why the oil company wouldn’t get involved in running Nigeria’s refineries, including “too much corruption in refineries.”
