📺 Nigeria TV Info – The President of the Dangote Group, Alhaji Aliko Dangote, has urged President Bola Tinubu to extend the ‘Nigeria First’ policy by banning the importation of refined petroleum products, encouraging full reliance on locally refined fuels. The ‘Nigeria First’ initiative, introduced by the Federal Government, prohibits Ministries, Departments, and Agencies from procuring goods or services that are readily available within Nigeria. In May, Tinubu enforced the policy by directing all MDAs to source locally. However, Dangote’s request was met with firm resistance from oil marketers and some industry analysts on Sunday, who unanimously rejected the idea, citing market realities and infrastructural limitations. The policy mandates that no foreign product or service available in Nigeria should be procured without proper justification and an official waiver from the Bureau of Public Procurement.
