Will agonising fuel queues ever end? It is, inexplicable, that despite Nigeria’s ranking as a major oil producer, our economy is still literally in shambles with a tattered currency and a crushing unemployment rate above 25%; we still unfortunately presently expend almost 50% of our total export revenue on fuel imported from some of those refineries which buy our crude oil. Regrettably, despite the regular recurrence of fuel scarcity, with its severe public discomfort, and ravaging economic dislocation, there is still no assurance that this tortuous cycle will ever end. However, if the inefficient, and wasteful sporadic operation of existing government refineries is anything to go by, any serious proposal for government to build and operate more refineries may just be a death wish.
