Ministerial Screening: Ogah Reveals What Will Happen To Nigeria If Refineries Doesn’t Work

One of President Muhammadu Buhari‘s ministerial nominees, Uche Ogah, has warned the Federal Government that the country will be unable to spend on capital projects if the nation’s refineries are not functioning.

Ogah stated this while being screened by Senators on the floor of the upper legislative chambers on Wednesday.

While responding to question on the state of refineries and what he intends to do, Ogah stated that he will apply before the Senate to propose a solution to make all the nation’s refineries work.

He said: “Nigeria remains the country depending on refinery products. What we need are more funds to be injected into making the refineries work.”

“I believe that if given the opportunity, I’ll look into the cause of the problem with our refineries and provide a way forward to restore our refineries. The best thing we can do as a nation is to have refineries and make them work, how to get them to work is to get the willpower to drive this country.”

“They would be no money to spend on capital projects in Nigeria soon if refineries don’t work,” Ogah warned.
