The loan is to acquire 20 percent equity in the danglety $19 billion petroleum refinery. NNPC Group Managing Director, Millicuri, revealed that NNPC will not spend the federal government funds to acquire the equity but will borrow for the cash flow because they believe the business is viable and will return dividends as a refinery business.
