 says the Tinnabu administration is on the right track to cut down the prices of refined petroleum product. He was speaking when he visited the governor of Delta State in Asaba. The former group managing director of the Niger National Petroleum Corporation explained that the subsidy was removed under former President Mohamed Dabuhari, but that this continuation of the modulation policy falls the country backward. He expressed relief and hope with the needs of the Port Hackett and Dangote refineries coming on stream soon. It's not right when you say we didn't actually remove subsidy. And if you remember I took over as GMB of NMPC in 2015 and in 2016 January I removed subsidy because as far as I was concerned the price distortion was given advantage to just a few people and the government was hurting and we couldn't finance our needs. So if you remember we did a price increase from I think it was 90 K to over 140 or something like that. And so with that subsidy got removed and if we had continued with the modulation policy probably we won't be where we are today dealing with subsidy issue again. So I think the move for removal of subsidy is a good move. If what I hear is true that Dangote is almost on the point of test running the refinery and the Port Hackett refineries in high gear for hopefully a resumption. Those are positive news. I'd like to see all the refineries come back. But more important we also did modular refineries like you can remember. I approved about nine modular refineries. Three of them right now are producing which is good and I think we need to do a whole lot more of that. What we have is the African market and if we can produce these refined petroleum products we'll use the ones we have we begin to move others on export and that will eventually drive down the price of your refined petroleum products in Nigeria. So I wish the government well I think they're the right part. Let's see how quickly we can get this done.
