The Nigerian Senate has announced an investigation into the allocation of $1.5 billion for the rehabilitation of the Port Harcourt Refinery. Despite the significant investment, there has been little visible progress, raising serious concerns about potential mismanagement or corruption.
Senate members are demanding a comprehensive audit to understand how the funds were utilized and to ensure accountability. This investigation underscores the ongoing challenges within Nigeria’s oil sector and the critical need for reforms. Enhancing transparency and efficiency in handling such large-scale projects is essential for restoring public trust and driving sectoral improvements.
