This is to congratulate the Dr. Idika Kalu committee for its boldness in recommending the total sale of all Nigerian refineries. It is very clear that the Federal Government can’t run any business successfully no matter the size. It is very disheartening reading from The PUNCH editorial of November 26 the colossal amount wasted by the Federal Government on Turn-Around Maintenance on all the refineries that never worked. All the recommendations of the Kalu Committee must be adopted immediately while the sales of the refineries are advertised by the Government and the $1.6bn proposed TAM contract must be stopped immediately, so that the amount will not go down the drain again. The new would-be investors must take the possession of the refineries as soon as the sales arrangements are finalised which should not extend beyond 1st Quarter of 2013.
