Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has said that the conflict between Aliko Dangote and the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Agency (NMDPRA) is troubling.
The 2023 presidential candidate spoke in a statement he shared on his social media handles on Tuesday.
While describing the Dangote Refinery as Nigeria’s largest private investment, which is crucial to Nigeria’s energy and economic stability, Atiku said no investor will trust a nation that undermines it key assets.
“The Dangote Refinery, our nation’s largest private investment, is crucial for Nigeria’s energy and economic stability.
“The 650,000 bpd refinery is essential for our energy needs and economic stability, and NNPCL’s investment underscores its importance.
“If we neglect this, we risk deterring vital foreign direct investment. No investor will trust a nation that undermines its key assets.
“Protecting significant investments like Dangote’s is essential to attract FDI and drive our economic growth,” Atiku said.
