The Former Governor of Anambra State, Peter Obi, has faulted the approval of $1.5 billion by the Federal Government for the renovation of the Port Harcourt refinery.
According to Obi, approving such an amount for refinery repairs in light of Nigeria’s economic situation is a huge waste.
He accused the leaders of worsening the country’s situation by their financial rascality.
Obi said, “The news of the planned expenditure of a whopping $1.5 billion for Port Harcourt refinery repairs is worrisome to well-meaning Nigerians. In light of our precarious economic situation, it is a huge waste.
“Our country on life support, but sadly the managers of our affairs are worsening the situation by their financial rascality.”
The PUNCH reported that the Federal Executive Council on
Wednesday approved the plan by the Ministry of Petroleum Resources to
rehabilitate the Port Harcourt Refinery with $1.5bn.
