In this video, Aliko Dangote, President of the Dangote Group and owner of a 650,000 barrels per day capacity refinery, presented the first sample of locally-produced petrol to the public after over two decades since local refining of crude products by government-owned refineries last happened, leaving the country with no option than importation of refined crude.

He explained why the first product sample from his refinery was clearer than the ones already in use.

“We Nigerians must celebrate right now that the environment will be cleaner, also people having issues with their health, especially in industries people having issues with their vehicles will now have the real product”

Former Nigerian minister of finance and coordinator of the economy, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, while addressing about 10,000 members of the Nigerian Bar Association on the theme, “Nigeria Needs A Social Contract— for better security, economic, social and political governance”, lamented how insecurity had become a political tool and subject of propaganda against the common good and national interest.

Okonjo-Iweala, who is the Director-General of the World Trade Organization (WTO), cautioned that the practice had to stop.

Nigeria faces several security issues with grave impact on its economy. Bandit-led kidnappings and attacks on local communities, and the Boko Haram insurgency have been the tragic highlights of the damaging insecurity.
