Ogbechie said this on Sunday at the Nigeria History Series of the Centre for Values in Leadership, themed ‘Indigenous participation in the downstream oil and gas sector’ moderated by Prof. Pat Utomi.
While lamenting the lack of deregulation in the downstream sector, he said the government was spending about N8m daily on petrol subsidy. He described the sector as highly regulated, saying, “I wonder if there is any other sector of the economy that is as regulated as the downstream.” He said, “The biggest elephant in the room today as far as the downstream is concerned is the failure, so to speak, of the government to deregulate the downstream – fixing the price at which petroleum products are sold, I believe, is very seriously harmful to this economy.”
