Nigerian lawmakers have launched an investigation into these claims, examining the refinery's operations and the role of regulatory bodies. Tensions are further inflamed by accusations of monopolistic practices and interference by international oil companies.

As a Nigerian, I feel extremely disappointed in the Nigerian authorities. Just how long would it take to build something like this again and come this far? But they still want to allow the mafia to sabotage it. What a shame

[DamaniDanDadar]

Even billionaires get frustrated by the Nigerian system. I thought it was only the common man.

[ayewohdeomo]

we Nigerians stand with dangote, say no to corrupt NNPC officials

[KevinMatseke]

As a south african, i hope dangote prevails

[sulemankihengere]

Nigerian government should be helping Dangote not sabotage .it's a shame

[Fabulousmathaias]

I'm 48years old living in California, I'm hoping to retire at 50 if things keep going well for me. Bought my first house last month and I can't be more proud that am i now. I'm glad I made great decision about my finances that changed me forever but now I can't seem to make any other smart investment.

[oyeleyemuhideen]

We Nigerians stand with Dangote against enemies of Nigeria growth both Home and Away....

[Greatma]

International oil sabotage. Go go dangote. Support from Ghana.
Tinubu is a disgrace like Akufo addo.

[alexmulaku]

Dangote has taken away someone's meal ticket and they're now retaliating. Africa is truly lost.

[leggyReidc]

Dangote’s product has 78 ppm(parts per million) while imports have 1500 ppm. Meaning his has 78 impurities in 1million units compared to the one the Nigerian government imports which has 1500 units of impurities per 1 million. Hence his product is way, way higher quality.
I had no idea that he has to source crude oil from outside Nigeria. Oh what a shame.😢

[khadijaabdalla]

we welcome you Dangote to EAST AFRICA..it is your home too come any time you want.

[etin]

This is just disgraceful. Nigeria just keeps embarrassing itself.

[leggyReidc]

Cameroonian here and I stand with Dangote.

[donyeebi]

A very sad development for a man who has put is best foot forth for Nigeria.

[tpn]

All sane humans need to support this Man, how can a country like Nigeria be importing fuel?!

[delphinmagbakolikoa]

This is not maintaining Nigeria or Dangote in poverty but the whole Africa, OK !
So we must be unite with Nigerian's people to support Dangote for the interest
of AFRICA, OK ?

[mgs]

Not only Nigerians all africans stand with Dangote. Aliko Dango is a pride for all Africa and by extension all black man. This behavior of Nigerian authorities is really a big shame. All african panafircanists should stand as one man through a large petition to condamne this shameful act of Nigerian Government.

[chukwudichieji]

Its a pity because the authority that is supposed to fight for Dangote has brothers and accomplices in the oil industry who are billionares because of the rot. The silence of the supposed defender says it all.

[smrjlmt]

I am a young African and I have lived with Ghanaians, Nigerians, and most West Africans. I can say for a fact that young Africans understand standing together better than these old folk. It's about time millennials took charge and educated ourselves to take over from these guys because I say with authority that if we did this, we would do a better job than this. because we understand that it's about time Africa united for a common cause and not one-sided because of thinking of just individual pockets.

[futuretechworld]

Nigeria really needs to clean house this is some bs, this is bad .
