    Pastor Enoch Adeboye, General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), has urged Nigerians to pray for divine intervention in the face of powerful forces hindering the success of private refineries in the country.

    Speaking at the church’s annual Abuja Special Holy Ghost Service, themed ‘Total Restoration’, Adeboye expressed frustration over the billions of naira invested in repairing Nigeria’s four government-owned refineries, which remain non-functional.
    “How can we import petrol when we have crude oil in abundance here?” Adeboye questioned, highlighting the economic illogic of Nigeria’s current situation. He emphasized that his concerns are non-political, stressing his role as a minister rather than a politician.
    Adeboye pointed out that influential figures in the oil and gas sector are working to sabotage private refinery initiatives, as these refineries threaten the profitability of fuel importation.

    “God raised someone willing to build a private refinery, ensuring at least one refinery would function if the governments did not. Yet, this man was forced to import crude from America because certain people refused to supply him locally,” Adeboye said.
    The Dangote Petroleum Refinery, which began production in January, represents a $20 billion investment ¹. Despite its potential to boost domestic refining capacity, the refinery has faced challenges, including securing sufficient crude supplies.
    Adeboye urged Nigerians to pray against the obstacles hindering the success of private refineries, warning that the insistence on maintaining fuel importation hurts the economy and raises the cost of petroleum products, impacting the lives of all Nigerians. “We have four government refineries that are non-functional despite heavy investments, but now that we have one working private refinery, they are blocking his path to selling the fuel. Are we cursed?” he asked
