CSOs call for end to petrol importation

A coalition of civil society organisations has called for the suspension of petroleum product importation to protect the country’s local refineries.

Segun Adebayo, the coalition’s spokesperson, made the call on Wednesday during a press conference held in Abuja.

Mr Adebayo, flanked by other members of the coalition, said the “continuous importation of petroleum products by marketers despite the operations of the Dangote Refinery is an act of sabotage against the Nigerian economy.”
