Title: Dangote Accuses Major Oil Marketers of Trying to Undermine President Tinubu's Administration
Dangote Unveils Individuals Attempting to Derail Tinubu's Economic Blueprint
In a candid conversation with State House journalists after a meeting with President Bola Tinubu in Abuja, business tycoon, Aliko Dangote, voiced concerns over attempts to sabotage the President's efforts to revamp Nigeria's economy. Dangote, the founder of the Dangote Group, lamented that some powerful players in the oil sector are intent on thwarting Tinubu's mission.
During the meeting, Dangote lauded the President for assembling a formidable team at NNPC Limited, including Bayo Ojulari as group chief executive officer (GCEO) and Ahmadu Musa Kida as non-executive chairman. He praised the appointments, describing the team as highly skilled and competent, capable of propelling NNPC to new heights.
However, when asked about his statement on combating oil sector cabals, Dangote clarified that his comments were unrelated to the new NNPC leadership. Instead, he pointed towards "some major oil marketers and traders" who are persistently attempting to derail Tinubu's plans for the nation's economy.
Discussing the progress achieved under the new NNPC leadership, Dangote highlighted a renewed focus on transparency, efficiency, and accountability. He acknowledged that the recent structural reforms initiated by NNPC signify a commitment to fostering a culture of performance and professionalism.
Whether these oil marketers are undermining Dangote's $20 billion refinery or simply engaging in competitive business practices remains unclear. The identities of these oil market rivals have not been disclosed, and further investigation is necessary to provide a comprehensive understanding of the situation.
