The leadership of the House of Representatives today, paid a visit to the Dangote Petroleum Refinery in Lagos, the second by the federal lawmakers to the refinery in two months.
Speaker of the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas, led the lawmakers to take a tour of the 650,000 barrels refinery, made a stop at the crude oil extraction point, the product loading bay, and the fertiliser plant.
The visit comes at a crucial time for the refinery, as it is scheduled to begin the supply of petrol next month, while also battling attempts by international oil companies to frustrate its access to crude oil needed for production.
Recall, the Chief Executive Officer of Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority, Farouk Ahmed, had claimed that the Dangote refinery has not been licensed to begin operations, a comment that stirred various reactions.
