Atedo Peterside, has advocated an informed national debate to discuss how he planned rehabilitation of Port Harcourt refinery in which the federal government has approved $1.5 billion for the exercise.
In a tweet on Sunday, Peterside asked the federal government to halt the repair of the refinery as experts preferred that the refinery is sold to qualified investors.
“FG should halt $1.5bn approval for the repair of Port Harcourt refinery; and subject this brazen & expensive adventure to an informed national debate,” the tweet reads.
“Many experts prefer that this refinery is sold “as is” by BPE to core-investors with proven capacity to repair it with their own funds,” Peterside explained.
