…Threatens court action over FG’s attempts to sell
A coalition of civil society members have formed a group under the umbrella of the Movement Against Privatisation to resist the sale of Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited and other national assets by any government.
According to the group, since the idea of selling national assets ,such as NITEL , National Fertilizer, NEPA, steel companies and several others did not favour the masses in past, there should be no reason to consider selling for now.
The group, which threatened to mobilise Nigerians if any government decides to consider selling NNPC, said it would go further than mobilising Nigerians should there be any attempt to sell public assets, but would also go to court and stop it.
