The Chairman and Supreme Head, of Cherubim and Seraphim Unification Church, His Eminence Solomon Alao has stated that Nigerians need an explanation for worsening fuel scarcity.
The Supreme Head noted this while speaking to journalists on the state of the nation at Seraphim Land on Monday.
Solomon said the price of diesel, which is the only source of powering big generators, is worrisome in the face of an epileptic electricity supply.
He explained that many factories will go under and would consequently face hyperinflation with severe consequences.
According to him, the government is in a position to import necessary machinery, to put in place in six months functional refinery of our crude oil in each of the six geo-political zones, and save the country billions of dollars as a capital flight to import refined fuel if there is a political will.

“If there is a political will, the government is in a position to import necessary machinery, to put in place in six months functional refinery of our crude oil in each of the six geo-political zones, and save the country billions of dollars as a capital flight to import refined fuel.
