Convinced that the deals were not in Nigeria\u2019s best interest, Yar\u2019adua ultimately cancelled the sales.<\/p>\n<p>Falana urged NUPENG and PENGASSAN to remain steadfast in their advocacy against the privatisation of refineries without due consideration for national interests.<\/p>\n<p>He advised those supporting privatisation to follow the example of the Dangote Group by constructing their own refineries rather than attempting to acquire public assets.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Femi Falana revealed that late President Yar\u2019Adua nullified the sale of
