Nigeria Splurges $2.25bn On Fuel Imports From Malta — Report
Nigeria spent a staggering $2.25 billion on fuel imports from Malta in a recent transaction, a new report has revealed.
The report, which details the country’s fuel importation activities, shows that the massive sum was spent on petroleum products despite Nigeria’s status as a major oil-producing nation.
The development has raised eyebrows, with experts questioning the country’s continued reliance on fuel imports despite its vast oil reserves.
The report’s findings have sparked concerns about the nation’s energy policy and the management of its oil resources.
Nigeria’s fuel importation woes have been a longstanding issue, with the country’s refineries struggling to meet domestic demand, forcing the government to rely on costly imports.
The $2.25 billion spent on fuel imports from Malta could have been invested in revamping the country’s refineries or developing its renewable energy sector, critics argue.
The report’s revelations are set to fuel further debate about Nigeria’s energy policy and its ability to achieve self-sufficiency in fuel production.
