God Inspired Dangote To Build Refinery In Nigeria – Pastor Adeboye Reveals

The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye, has said that it was God who inspired Aliko Dangote, a renowned businessman and industrialist, to establish the ‘Dangote Refinery’ in Nigeria.

The revered cleric, however, asserted that there is a conspiracy involving an oil cabal in Nigeria collaborating with international oil companies (IOCs) to hinder the operations of private refineries, including Dangote Petroleum Refinery.

In his remarks during the November 2024 Abuja Special Holy Ghost service, Adeboye urged Nigerians to seek divine intervention against the actions of unscrupulous oil marketers who aim to inflict hardship on the populace.

Naijaonpoint reports that Adeboye noted that these oil marketers are actively working to impede the refinery’s operations, following previous sabotage incidents that have affected Nigeria’s four state-owned refineries.

The RCCG general overseer reminded the audience that it was divine inspiration that led Aliko Dangote to establish a refinery after numerous unsuccessful attempts to revitalize the country’s four public refineries, which had squandered billions of Naira with little success.

He expressed concern over the ongoing dependence on fuel imports despite Nigeria being a major producer of crude oil.

“Are we under a curse?” Pastor Adeboye asked.

“We have four refineries, we poured all kinds of money into them, none of them is working.

“But God raised someone to build a refinery that works. He is not my relative; he is not from my village. He is not even a Christian, but he is a Nigerian who says, ‘Why should my people suffer when I have the means to build a refinery that can work?’ Now he is refining petrol, and some people want to stop him from selling it, so they can keep importing.”

Naijaonpoint reported earlier that the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN) reached an agreement with Dangote Refinery to sell petrol to its members directly.

Despite this development, Nigerians are still buying petrol at ₦1060 and ₦1200 at NNPC stations and other retail outlets.
