Former president Goodluck Jonathan gave Dangote, others too much waivers, destroyed small businesses – Aisha Yesufu

A social critic, Aisha Yesufu has said that former President Goodluck Jonathan gave Aliko Dangote and other rich so much waivers during his tenure.

Yesufu said the action consequently destroyed small businesses in the process.

Her statement comes amid an alleged soured relationship between Dangote and the regulators of the nation’s oil industry.

the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority recently said that the Dangote refinery has not been licensed to begin operations in the country.

However, in a post on her X handle on Monday, Yesufu said there was also a lot of money laundering through predatory pricing that took a lot of businesses down.

She said: “We are eager to forget and romanticize the past. GEJ gave Dangote and co so much waivers and destroyed small businesses in the process. There was also a lot of money laundering through predatory pricing that took a lot of businesses down.”
