Presidential Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and former Vice President of Nigeria, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar has congratulated Nigerians on the Commissioning of the Dangote 650, 000 BPD Refinery in Nigeria.
Atiku Abubakar in a twit celebrated the vision, foresight and determination of Alhaji Aliko Dangote and the DangoteGroup on the commissioning of the biggest single-train Refinery in the world.
The former Vice President maintained that the Inauguration of the refinery came at a time when Government-owned refineries in Nigeria have remained moribund for years.
“It again confirms the stance i have taken over the years that business persons best do business while government maintain their role in providing an enabling environment and as a regulator to harness the benefits for the good of all citizens.
“The benefits of this effort in terms of jobs, fuel supply and availability, foreign exchange earnings and savings, and tax revenue are immense. Hence, my congratulations to Nigerians.
“Our country must look more towards the private sector as partners in nation-building for the growth of our country, and in this regard, Aliko Dangote has distinguished himself remarkably”, Atiku Abubakar said.
