Dr. Olisa Agbakoba SAN, has urged the federal government to fix the refineries in the country and intensify efforts in making life more meaningful for Nigerians.
He said this in a press statement made available to Theliberationnews on Tuesday adding that it is one of the ways to make business men like Dangote irrelevant im the country.
The Senior Partner of Olisa Agbakoba Legal went on to fault fellow legal luminary, Professor Itse Sagay’s advice to government on taking over Dangote refinery.
The statement reads: “Prof. Itse Sagay (SAN), on Monday, in an interview, says the constitution allows the federal government to take over the Dangote Refinery, pay him compensation and then sell the products at the prices Nigerians can afford.
“But why take over what a private individual built? Why can’t the FG fix its refineries all these years and make Dangote irrelevant. Why allow an efficient Business man hold you to ransom when there is a very simple alternative. The simple alternative for us all is this – let Nigeria work. Let there be light. Let there be food. Let there be water. Let there be jobs. Let there be money, schools, health care, roads etc. This is how to render Dangote irrelevant and not as Suggested by taking over another man’s sweat even if the sweat is to cheat us. Let the FG do its own refineries and bluff Dangote.”
