Warri, Port Harcourt refineries: 'Absolute insult, disrespect' - Obasanjo slams NNPCL
- Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has described an open invitation by the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, NNPCL, to tour the newly revived Port Harcourt and Warri Refineries as disrespectful.
In an article published by MSN, former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo criticized the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation Limited (NNPCL) for the prolonged non-functionality of the Warri and Port Harcourt refineries, labeling it as an "absolute insult" and a "disrespect" to the nation.
