At least Nigerians now know who is taking what and how much to expect from the sale of their crude oil unlike in the pastwhen no one knows what was what. The selected refineries will deliver, they have experience in the trade and that is whatcounts. Since Nigeria now have a government run on patriotism things will soon change for the better.God bless PMB!
