Nigeria’s refineries will bounce back soon — President Tinubu

President Bola Tinubu has promised Nigerians that the refineries in the country will bounce back.

Tinubu also lamented that benefits from the introduction of Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) are going into the pockets of truck owners.

This came as the President of the Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG), Comrade Salimon Akanni Oladiti, pleaded with President Tinubu to help stop the casualisation of workers in the oil industry.

Speaking when he received the NUPENG leadership at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, the President said the union has been a very good partner in government’s progress.

“You occupy a very critical nerve of the economy of this country,” he said.

He recalled the promise he made while seeking the presidency that he would remove the fuel subsidy and the threat by oil and gas workers to down tools. “We had threat of possible strike and something, and I served notice; you may strike all you want, but fuel subsidy will be gone. And today, to the benefit of our great country.”
