The Host Communities of Nigeria Producing Oil and Gas (HOSTCOM) have threatened to shut down pipeline facilities in response to what they describe as the unfair treatment of Dangote and other indigenous refineries.
The group expressed frustration over the lack of crude oil supply to local refineries, which has hindered their operations and reliance on imported refined products. HOSTCOM's leaders have called for greater support for domestic refineries and warned that continued hostility from regulators could lead to renewed agitation for increased autonomy over natural resources, highlighting the ongoing tensions within Nigeria's oil sector.
