Stop Navy From Destroying Illegal Refineries -NULGE Urges FG

The Nigeria Union of Local Government Employees (NULGE), has appealed to the Federal Government to stop the Navy from  destroying refining sites tagged  “illegal” in the Niger-Delta.

 

Mr Ambali Olatunji, NULGE President said this at a news conference to mark the end of its National Executive Council (NEC,) meeting on Wednesday in Abuja.

 

According to Olatunji, NEC-in-Session resolved that the union should call  President Bola Tinubu to prevail on the Nigerian Navy to stop destroying some refining sites in the Niger Delta region.

 

“Destroying those sites has no benefits whatsoever for the country’s oil and gas sector as well as for Nigerians at large.

 

“Instead of destroying those refining sites, they should be licensed properly and mandated to pay taxes.

 

“This will create job opportunities and be sources of revenue earnings,” he said.

 

Olatunji also called on the federal government to consider licensing more modular refineries that have the capacity to refine crude oil.

 

“If the multinationals are leaving the country, we should encourage individuals that are willing and capable to do it in Nigeria,” he said.

 

“If we can work on those areas, coupled with minimum wage, the effects of fuel subsidy removal will go down,”he said.

 

The NULGE President also said that NEC-in-Session took note of the hardship occasioned  by  fuel subsidy removal.

 

He therefore called on the President to mitigate the effects by creating Compress Natural Gas (CNG) Centres across the country.

 

Olatunji also called on the President and the Tripartite Committee on minimum wage to arrive at on acceptable minimum wage for workers

 

On security, he urged the federal government to allow the Local Government to implement community policing in protecting lives and property of the citizens within their jurisdiction.
