The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) on Thursday, following a fact-finding visit to Dangote Refinery by a 17-man team of the the human rights organization has urged the Federal Government to give the refinery a free hand to operate.
In a statement issued on Friday, 6th September, 2024 by the Executive Director of the group, Professor Ishaq Akintola, MURIC called on the Nigeria government to protect the refinery from strangulation.
MURIC statement reads, “In view of the severe hardship facing Nigerians, in view of the fact that the masses have placed their hope in the likelihood of a drastic fall in the price of petroleum products once the Dangote Refinery starts functioning and in the face of the devastating blow delivered by the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) by suddenly raising the price of its fuel and banning Dangote Refinery from supplying any other marketer except NNPC, we, the Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC), concerned for the plight of poor Nigerians, went on a fact-finding mission to Dangote refinery.
“Seventeen members of our organization visited the newly completed Dangote Refinery at Ibeju-Lekki, Lagos State. Authorities of the refinery granted our request to enter the premises on self-recognition. The visit took place yesterday, Thursday, 5th September, 2024.
“Although full details of our findings will be disclosed in a press conference to be addressed very soon, we are constrained to issue an advance statement as a precursor to the press conference.
