Chairman of the Presidential Fiscal Policy and Tax Reforms
Committee, Taiwo Oyedele has told Nigerians to pray that refineries in the
country do no work.
According to him, a litre of petrol in Nigeria could be the
most expensive in the world.
Oyedele spoke at The Platform’s Independence Anniversary
event, held in Lagos on Monday.
He said inefficiencies in the management of the refineries
might bring about the worst situation should Nigerian refineries produce
petroleum.
“Nigerians would say if only our refineries were working,
then we’ll be fine. Nothing can be farther from the truth than that.
“In fact, Nigerians should come together and say please make
sure that our refineries don’t work. We should sell them.
“If Nigerian refineries process crude oil, unless we deal
with our inefficiency, one litre of petrol will be the most expensive in the
world.
“You would have succeeded in replacing the subsidy at the
pump with subsidy of the refineries,” he added.
“The National Assembly said we have spent over N10tn
maintaining our refineries even when they have not produced anything,” he said.
