The Federal Government says its naira-for-crude initiative with local refineries is not a temporary measure but a “key policy directive designed to support sustainable local refining”.
The government also said the initiative is still in effect, overruling the decision of the decision of the NNPCL under its former boss Mele Kyari which tenured the initiative.
The Minister of Finance Wale Edun at a meeting with representatives of the Dangote Refinery on Tuesday said the naira-for-crude is still in effect.
