The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) has lambasted the rationing of crude oil to local refineries, terming it as a ridiculous move. The group insists that local refineries should receive sufficient crude oil to enable them to reduce the price of fuel.
The rationing of crude oil has been a contentious issue in Nigeria, with many stakeholders calling for an end to the practice. Local refineries have been operating below capacity due to inadequate supply of crude oil, leading to a surge in fuel prices.
The Director of MURIC, Professor Ishaq Akintola, has been vocal about the need for the government to supply local refineries with enough crude oil. He argues that this will not only reduce fuel prices but also create jobs and stimulate economic growth.
The group's statement on the issue has sparked a heated debate, with many calling for the government to take immediate action to address the issue.
The decision to ration crude oil to local refineries is a clear indication of the government's failure to address the fuel crisis in Nigeria. By not providing local refineries with sufficient crude oil, the government is essentially strangling the economy and perpetuating the suffering of ordinary Nigerians. The Director of MURIC, Professor Ishaq Akintola, is right to call out the government on this issue. The rationing of crude oil is a ridiculous policy that only serves to line the pockets of a few individuals at the expense of the many. It is high time the government took concrete steps to address the fuel crisis and provide Nigerians with affordable fuel.
