Tibor Nagy, former US Assistant Secretary of State for Africa, has described the Nigerian government as “pathetic” for being unable to “manage anything”.
His statement is coming as Nigeria despite owning “new” refineries and “huge oil holdings”, petrol prices have surged “more than any other African country”.
Nagy said, it is “incredible” that the govt of Nigeria could not plan for a petrol reserve.
Nagy, US Ambassador to Guinea and Ethiopia, said: “It’s incredible that Nigeria’s petrol prices – even with new refineries – have risen more than any other African country’s despite its huge oil holdings. Nigerian Govt can’t seem to manage anything – it never planned for a petrol reserve. Pathetic!”
