Nigerian Government Announces Resignation of Oil Regulators Amid Controversy

Aliko Dangote's recent public disputes over Nigeria's downstream petroleum regulation and import licenses have also been highlighted. The appointments come amidst concerns over Nigeria's refining capacity and dependency on imports.
