COP29 fight looms over climate funds for developing world

FG, NNPCL, Dangote plan changes in petrol lifting — Investigation

PLANS have been reached and advanced by the federal government, Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, NNPCL and Dangote Refinery; to make far-reaching changes in Nigeria’s process of lifting and distribution of petrol.

But under the new arrangement being considered, the NNPCL would continue to provide crude oil but seized to play such a dominant role in the distribution of the p...
