A Second Republic senator, Olorunnimbe Farukanmi, has identified the establishment of functional refineries in Nigeria as the only solution to incessant fuel crisis in the country.
Speaking against the backdrop of the lingering fuel scarcity in the country, Farukanmi, who is a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), noted that the problem would persist until the nation’s crude oil are refined locally.
Charging the incoming administration of Gen Muhammadu Buhari to ensure proper repair of the country’s refineries and establish more to cater for the nation’s needs, the former lawmaker accused successive administrations for ruining the nation’s economy.
To revive the economy, Farukanmi called on the next administration to prioritise the agriculture and manufacturing sectors
He also advised the incoming government to reduce salariesn and allowances of political office holders in all tiers of government, saying this policy would ensure that only people genuinely interested in serving the people contest for public office.
While maintaining that politics should be a vocation and not a profession, Farukanmi stressed the need to make political appointment a part-time one in order to ensure efficient service delivery. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday
