What a shame, 4 federal government refineries in Nigeria abandon but in full support of a monopolist owning all to himself, revenue meant to be achieved by the country is now achieved by one man due to tribe, honestly Nigeria as an individual is ready to move forward but Nigeria as a country is not ready for development
