''SALE OF ASSETS… THE ‘FORS’ HAVING IT?''

''SALE OF ASSETS… THE ‘FORS’ HAVING IT?''
Aliko Dangote, Africa’s richest man, effectively started the debate by calling on the federal government to sell its stake in the Nigeria Liquified Natural Gas Limited (NLNG) to shore up foreign reserves.
Support promptly came from many national figures while several others are vehemently kicking against it.
Godwin Emefiele, governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), technically endorsed the sale of some national assets by saying, “In the short run, we can sell assets” just as he reiterated the fact that there was a need for “government to scale down or sell off some of its investments in oil and gas, particularly in the NNPC and NLNG as at that time when the price of oil was around $50-$55 per barrel”.
At present, prominent individuals harping on the matter, have leaned in the following manner:
Muhammadu Sanusi, emir of Kano – For
Godwin Emefiele – For
Bukola Saraki, senate president – For
Aliko Dangote – For
State governors – For
NLC – Against
Femi Falana, senior advocate of Nigeria – Against
Ike Ekweremadu, deputy senate president – Against
Shehu Sani, APC senator – Against
