Also on Friday, the NLC and civil society organisations were divided over Dangote Refinery, which will begin operations at the end of 2018. The NLC, which spoke through its Secretary-General, Dr. Peter Ozo-Eson, warned the Federal Government against allowing the Dangote Group to monopolise the oil refinery sector. He said that such must not be allowed to happen in the oil refinery sector. The NLC secretary-general blamed the Federal Government for the current fuel scarcity in the country. He expressed confidence that when all licensed privately-owned refineries began to dispense fuel, the development would shore up production capacity and fuel scarcity and inadequate supplies would be a thing of the past.
