Reps to investigate non-allocation of crude to Dangote Refinery

The House of Representatives on Thursday, July 18, resolved to investigate allegations that the Nigeria Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission and International Oil Companies operating in the country have colluded to deny Dangote Refinery crude oil supply, thereby frustrating its operation.

The House also resolved to investigate the claim by the chairman of Dangote Refinery, Alhaji Aliko Dangote, alleging that Nigeria, through the NNPCL own only 7 percent shares of the refinery instead of the 20 percent known to Nigerians.

Adopting a motion of urgent public importance sponsored by Minority Leader, Hon. Kingsley China, the House asked the Minister of Petroleum Resources and the NUPRC to support Dangote refinery and ensure its success.
