Oil experts laud FG for privatising refineries
 "Experts in the oil and gas industry have lauded the Federal Government moves in deregulating the downstream sector of the industry as a way out of the crude refining crisis in Nigeria. Some told BusinessDay in separate interviews that regulation of petroleum product prices would always be a disincentive towards attracting investments into the crude refining sector, explaining that because of the unsavoury record of government companies in the management of the refineries, the best option was to give it to private operators, who would manage it more efficiently.
