“The countless man hours that will be spent at petrol stations today, will reduce our productivity as a nation. This should not be so,” he wrote.
APC presidential candidate then went on to mention his successes when he was head of Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) “In my time as NNPC chairman and Petroleum Minister in the late 70s, 2 of our 4 refineries were built, and domestic consumption catered for,” he wrote, noting that, Nigeria has the ability to have adequate petrol consumption.
“But over the last several years our refineries have declined, and we are at the mercy of imports.”
