Govt urged to repair refineries FELIX NWANERI GOVERNMENT has been charged to urgently rehabilitate the nation�s four refineries to end the frequent fuel crisis. General Overseer, New Life in the Lord Ministries, Otta, Ogun State, Pastor Julius Omosebi, gave the charge, while speaking at this year�s convention of the church. Government, Pastor Omosebi said should contract efficient firms to repair the ailing refineries which have allegedly gulped millions of naira since the inception of the President Olusegun Obasanjo�s administration. "Let us look for reliable people that will handle repair works in the refineries. It is madness to sell crude oil to foreigners and go back to them to import petrol," he said. The clergyman who insisted that local refining of petrol would force prices down, also lamented that the citizenry were yet to see the positive effects of high cost of fuel as promised by President Obasanjo. On the proposed November 16 strike occasioned by increase in petroleum products, Pastor Omosebi, said it was a welcome idea, saying if such action can force the government to revert to the old price, Nigerians should embark on it. "I support the Nigeria, Labour Congress (NLC) on the strike although it is not palatable. But let it come up if it is the only way we can force the government to listen to us," he noted. Pastor Omosebi, criticised government officials who surround themselves with sycophants even as he picked holes in the actions of clerics who give wrong advices to those in authority. Predicting a revolution which would move the nation forward, the cleric advised Christians to return to God and stand firm in His word. "Christians must return to the old landmark of God�s commandments and stand firmly on the word of God. They shouldn�t dance to the tune of time despite what is happening in Nigeria. Unless this is done Nigerians will continue to experience bad governance,� he said. © 2004 @ Champion Newspapers Limited (All Right Reserved). Powered By dnetsystems.net dnet®
