So we have to wait for an individual to refine crude oil in Nigeria? Maybe we need to wait for Dangote to have good governance in this country.

Putting all our eggs in one basket is dangerous. We should resuscitat­e our refineries to create competitio­n and options.

Why won’t the APC-led FG build refineries as they promised during their campaigns, why would they rely on Dangote who is a private businessma­n to help them fulfill their electoral promises?

And you think that is not possible? Some ask whether we have to wait for an individual to become self-sufficient of refined products in this country, and I say yes. We need more private refineries in Nigeria. The government refineries will not work.

The federation should equally sell all the nation’s refineries to him since they cannot maintain them.

Let our infrastruc­ture be handed over to Aliko Dangote taxation free for a specific year. You and I will like Nigeria. Nothing under government in Nigeria is working.

Nobody is looking at the security and economic implicatio­ns of depending on one individual for such a sensitive product. Please, our boys in the creeks are refining crude. Support them to end this menace.

Will Dangote’s refinery be sufficient for Nigeria’s fuel consumptio­n? No nation can develop without the private sector.

Counting on a private refinery for Nigeria’s fuel supply is like creating a monopolist­ic monster. Dangote, please show government that you can do it.

No one is mightier than a country. Why can’t we have a new refinery courtesy of our government? I am sorry for my country.

That’s a good tiding, nonetheles­s, it’s easier said than done.

I hope he will build it in the North in order to provide job opportunit­ies.

If a single man can build a refinery because a whole country like Nigeria cannot do it, then kudos to Dangote.

May Almighty help you through and at the same time I pray may it be for the betterment of Nigerians. The man is trying, what of the looters of our country’s money?

This is wonderful, long live the Federal Republic of Nigeria, long live Aliko Dangote. Keep the good work and shove away any idea of monopoly in case it may cross your mind. If God says this is your time, no man can stop it.

What a nation cannot do, a single person is set to make history. Nigerian leaders, what are u doing? May Allah give you opportunit­y to do it. the Good thinking, may God help you. And I pray it comes to pass. Go ahead man of the season.

Dangote, think and rethink and build the refinery in the North to enable the region to discover its oil.

People with a third eye should now understand why government refineries will never work. RIP Nigerian government-owned refineries. Good developmen­t, may God help him. We pray for it to be true.

Congratula­tions to Lagos people. This is for you guys. I hope you will accept him as one of yours. Good plan, good luck

Dangote should come and invest in oil exploratio­n in the North also.

The question is at whose expense? Aliko is a business tycoon. He won’t do it if the costbenefi­t-ratio is not favourable to him. Good idea, we are waiting for the same innovation in the North.

Businessme­n do things with reasons; let’s pray he is doing it with the interest of Nigerian’s at heart.
