Oborevwori urges FG to stop importation of petrol

Tamarauemi Ebimini

Delta State Governor, Sheriff Oborevwori, yesterday, criticised the culture of importation of petrol by the Federal Government due to its cost implications on the economy, calling for the revitalisation of the nation’s refineries.

Oborevwori stated this when he received the National Executive Committee of the Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG), led by its National President, Williams Akporeha, at Government House, Asaba.

The governor insisted that there is no justification for an oil producing nation, like Nigeria with four refineries, to resort to fuel importation for its local consumption.

He described NUPENG as a critical stakeholder in the Nigerian project, thanking Akporeha and the union for the support given to him during and after the general elections.

He commended NUPENG for its intention to build a skill acquisition centre to empower youths of the state on relevant oil and gas industry skills, pledging to collaborate with the state for the success of the project.
