Buhari should “revoke all oil well licenses” – SSANU

Nigerian university workers have urged President Muhammadu Buhari to revoke all oil corruptly allocated oil wells in the country.

The call was made by the National President of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU), Samson Ugwoke, at the union National Executive Council Meeting (NEC), and pre-delegates conference held in Jos, Plateau State

Ugwoke said many of the licenses were issued to people because of their position, not because they can operate the oil wells.

"We are endowed with oil wells and these oil wells were given to individuals who do not have the capacity, even in oil technology or in the business or economics, but they were given to them because of their positions in the federal government, because of their positions in the society," he said.

"The stand of SSANU is that government should revoke all oil well licenses and set up a committee to recover the oil wells."

The union boss noted that some of these oil well owners have become richer than the nation through corrupt practices.

"They have made trillions of dollars into their own pockets, giving the country nothing."

Ugwoke said oil wells retrieved from such people can be reallocate to those who will operate them well.
