Falana urges Nigerian govt to ban petrol importation
Human rights lawyer and Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Femi Falana, has urged the federal government to end petrol importation and ensure that the 450,000 barrels of crude oil reportedly allocated daily for domestic consumption are supplied to local refineries.
Mr Falana said that making crude available to domestic refiners would reduce Nigeria’s dependence on imported petroleum products and help ease the hardship caused by the removal of the petrol subsidy.
Mr Falana said Nigerians should therefore demand explanations from the federal government, state governments and local councils on how the increased allocations are being used.
