For decades, Nigeria's refineries have been a source of massive expenditure and frustration. Since 1999, the country has invested a staggering $25 billion in maintaining and rehabilitating its four major refineries, yet they remain largely ineffective. Despite numerous promises from different administrations, the refineries continue to operate below capacity, with reports of combined losses amounting to hundreds of billions of naira. Former Petroleum Minister Ibe Kachikwu highlighted poor management, corruption, and ineffective maintenance as key issues, while recent statements from the current Minister of State for Petroleum Resources revealed premature announcements of progress. The Dangote Refinery, set to significantly boost Nigeria’s fuel production, raises the question: why continue pouring money into failing refineries instead of investing in new, efficient ones? Watch as we uncover the ongoing saga of Nigeria’s refinery woes and what it means for the country's future.
