I rejected NNPC’s offer to increase stake in refinery – Dangote

“The other biggest risk is government inconsistencies in policies, and we are addressing that one because if you look at our refinery, the national oil company already owns 7.25 per cent, and they are trying to buy more. We are the ones that said no; we want to now spread it and have everybody be part of it.” The post I rejected NNPC’s offer to increase stake in refinery – Dangote appeared first on Vanguard News.
