He went on to say that despite the fact that the NNPCL was still going to be primarily owned by the federation even though it was still in its infancy, the new company will no longer require the approval of either the National Assembly or the executive to borrow money or look for financing for projects.

There is room for unaffiliated third parties to purchase ownership in this business. But as we speak right now, there are more than 200 million Nigerians who are stockholders.

There is a possibility for a second level of privately held ownership, and one way to achieve this would be to sell off part of these shares of equity. This would allow individuals, rather than the nation as a …
