Reuben Abati Blasts Minister of State For Petroleum, Heineken

Nigerian journalist, Reuben Abati, has slammed Minister of State for Petroleum, Heineken Lokpobiri, over comment that Nigeria is expecting a $50 billion investment in the oil sector by December.​


Naija News reports that Lokpobiri, while speaking in Abuja on Tuesday, said with foreign/local investors’ concerns being addressed, coupled with the efforts to boost oil production to about 2.7 barrels per day, Nigeria remains a titan of African energy and is expecting $50 billion worth of investments in the sector before the end of the year.

According to him, the policy direction of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has revolutionised the oil sector in the last year, making it very attractive to both local and foreign investors.

Reacting to the comment, Abati, during the Arise TV morning show, said Lokpobiri always puts his foot in his mouth and should keep quiet if he has nothing to say.

He said, “Senator Heineken Lokpobiri does not know what he is talking about. He constantly puts his foot in his mouth. Let him just stay in his allegiance to Nyesom Wike where he can speak with great certainty. The other time he was saying the refineries will produce so, so, so….no refinery is producing anything ..now he is saying $50 billion worth of investment by December because Tinubu is a miracle worker. December is just two months away. If the Minister has nothing to say, he should keep quiet.’’
