Who Won the U.S. Presidential Debate?

The youths, under the aegis of the Lagos Advocacy Group, Lekki Empire Advocacy Forum, and Yoruba Youth Advocacy Forum, spoke Tuesday at a press conference held in Lagos.

Speaking on behalf of the youths, the Convener of the Lagos Advocacy Group, Barrister Yakubu Eleto, appealed to all the traditional rulers in the South-West to rally around the refinery because it is located in Yoruba land.

“The royal fathers should not allow the great investment to die, as posterity will judge them if they fail to talk now,” he stated.

According to Eleto, the alleged refusal of international oil companies to sell crude oil to Dangote at the market price and the attempt by some cabal to demarket the refinery demands the monarchs’ immediate attention and collective action as stakeholders in the host community.

He said the efforts of the Federal Government to attract foreign investors would not have succeeded if Aliko Dangote was seen to be frustrated despite his huge investments in Nigeria.
