In a statement issued by its Executive Director, Professor Ishaq Akintola, the Islamic human rights organization stressed that providing full crude supply to the refinery would help Nigeria reduce its reliance on imported petroleum products. MURIC noted that the refinery has the capacity to significantly transform the nation’s oil and gas sector if it is given adequate support.
According to the group, prioritizing crude supply to the Dangote Refinery will boost domestic production, stabilize fuel availability, and help lower the cost of petroleum products for Nigerians. MURIC also pointed out that the move could create more jobs, improve economic growth, and reduce pressure on foreign exchange spent on fuel imports.
The organization therefore urged the Federal Government and relevant authorities in the oil sector to implement policies that guarantee consistent crude supply to local refineries, especially the Dangote Refinery, which is one of the largest in the world.
MURIC concluded that strengthening local refining capacity is key to achieving energy self-sufficiency and long-term economic stability for Nigeria.
