According to the senator, who expressed his opinion via Twitter, this move may immediately increase refining capacity by 20%....See tweet after the cut.
1-We have excruciating #fuelscarcity yet we are destroying illegal refineries producing what we lack. Where’s the #Commonsense in that?

2-Is it not better to legalize and register the refineries to bring them up to standard rather than depend on imports? #fuelscarcity. — Ben Murray-Bruce (@benmurraybruce) November 16, 2015
3-If we legalize and register illegal refineries, we may immediately increase our refining capacity by 20% #fuelscarcity

Undoubtedly, the senator’s idea has triggered mixed reactions among Nigerians: while some support it, others strongly criticize.

According to some Nigerians, any illegal action must not be tolerated.
@benmurraybruce Absolutely No. It is a wrong move. Nigeria has plenty of criminal acts as it is and we don’t want to add more to it.

@benmurraybruce #fuelscarcity Haba, with all due respect, legalize illegal refineries? After they vandalize pipelines to acquire crude? Hmm

@benmurraybruce Sir, I actually understand ur point but in my own view, whatever is illegal must not be tolerated. Even if it does any good

@benmurraybruce Uncle Ben, am beginning to think they are illegal becos they are not legal or “standard” not becos they don’t refine crude

Meanwhile, the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation has decided that most of the mega stations in the country will begin to operate the 24 hours model. This is to ensure an adequate supply of petroleum products to consumers.
