FAMOUS lawyer, Femi Falana has expressed concerns over the negative impacts of the Dangote Refinery saga www.AfriqueCAN.com
Falana, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria -SAN, on Tuesday, said that the controversy sends a dangerous signal to investors about Nigeria.
“Well, I’ve enjoyed the inter-class feud or what you might call a dog-eat-dog affair. But it’s at the expense of the country and we cannot continue like this,” he said on Channels Television’s Politics Today.
“The government cannot go around the world asking for foreign investment only to be accused of destroying local investment. It is very dangerous for the country, ” the SAN added.
Dangote Refinery is being accused of rolling out sub-standard petroleum products, a claim the company has refuted.
The Chairman of the Dangote Group Aliko Dangote is also facing accusations of monopoly in the steel sector.
“It is so embarrassing that we are telling the whole world that the government of Nigeria is incapable of managing its affairs. That one person is monopolising trade in our country,” Falana said as he dismissed that claim, describing it as ‘’childish.’’
