The minister disclosed this at the Stakeholders Engagement and Enlightenment Campaign in Niger Delta states, organized by the Federal Ministry of Petroleum Resources, in collaboration with the Edo Government in Benin.
He added: “If the refineries were not in depth or in good state to process crude for maximum gain, there was no need of sending crude to such refineries for processing
Magaji said: “We in IPMAN are against the plan to sell the refineries but if the Federal Government will not rescind the decision, the refineries should be made fully functional before being sold
