Igbokwe wondered what happened to the four refineries in Nigeria that have become comatose.
He was reacting to a remark by the Minister of Finance, Wale Edun, that Nigeria spent $600 million monthly on the importation of fuel.
Edun had said Nigeria spent $600 million monthly on fuel imports due to the high cost to supplying neighbouring countries, extending to Central Africa.
The minister said the situation was a key factor in President Bola Tinubu’s decision to remove the fuel subsidy, as the country lacks precise data on domestic fuel consumption.
Reacting, Igbokwe posted on Facebook: “Finance Minister says Nigeria spends $600m monthly on importation of PMS. Please, what happened to our 4 refineries?
“If this is a jinx, we have to break it. PBAT should find out why our refineries are not working for years now. We need to know.”
