The Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Ibe Kachikwu,
on Tuesday said it was shameful that the country had continued to import
finished petroleum products.
According to him, the country has to stop importing the
products, adding that the Federal Ministry of Petroleum Resources was committed
to making this happen.
The minister disclosed this in several messages on his
Twitter handle on Tuesday.
In one of the tweets on the state of the refineries,
Kachikwu said, “It is shameful that we’ve continued to import finished
products. We need to stop. We are committed to this.”
Nigeria imports a greater percentage of its finished
petroleum products, as the country’s refineries have continued to perform below
expectation.
