The Association of Nigerian Professionals in Europe, ANPE, has called on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to urgently halt the influx of tainted petroleum products, widely known as fake fuel, into Nigeria. ANPE urged the President to investigate the illegal trade that endangers the nation and its people.
Despite Nigeria's status as a leading oil producer, the country remains reliant on imported refined products due to the non-operational state of its refineries in Kaduna, Warri, and Port Harcourt, despite billions of dollars in government investment. This reliance has left over 150 million Nigerians vulnerable to imported substandard fuel.
condemned the economic damage caused by the importation of overpriced and substandard fuel, urging President Tinubu to prevent Nigeria from becoming a 'dumping ground' for foreign-sourced, adulterated petroleum products. 'This insistence on importing bad fuel undermines Nigeria’s economic policies and sabotages local development,'
