Reacting to the ongoing dispute between the Dangote refinery management and the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission over crude oil allocation, Atiku stated, “Just as parents take all necessary measures to ensure the healthy development of their child, so too should we support and nurture investments, whether local or international.”

“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.”
