Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Northern Group Frontiers has called on the House of Representatives to thoroughly investigate the issues surrounding the Dangote Refinery, without taking sides.<\/p>\n

The call followed the House of Representatives\u2019 motion calling for the removal of Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA) Chief Executive, Farouk Ahmed.<\/p>\n

Recall that Ahmed had claimed that Dangote Refinery produces inferior fuel.<\/p>\n

Following the development, the House of Representatives urged President Bola Tinubu to suspend Ahmed for his \u201cunguarded comments\u201d.<\/p>\n

The lawmakers requested Ahmed\u2019s suspension pending an investigation into the allegations against the NMDPRA.<\/p>\n

At a press conference in Abuja on Thursday, the Northwestern Coordinator of Northern Group Frontiers, Ambassador Abdul Usman, called for a thorough investigation of the matter.<\/p>\n

Warning that the lawmakers must not take sides, the group called on the House to also uphold fairness and independent investigations into Dangote\u2019s business practices.<\/p>\n

The group equally emphasized the need for protection for whistleblowers and industry regulators.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe House of Reps should also thoroughly investigate how, since President Obasanjo\u2019s era, Dangote has been the only investor buying all available black oil in Nigerian refineries, shutting out rivals and manipulating the market.\u201d<\/p>\n
