  • Who runs crude oil refinery in Nigeria?
  • In Nigeria, it is the federal government that runs crude oil refinery, but in recent time, private investors have been issued licenses to come into the industry hence giving room to those who are interested in the oil and gas industry to come in.
  • Is crude oil pollution affecting the Niger Delta region?
  • However the Niger Delta region of Nigeria is one of the most environmentally impacted regions of the world caused by crude oil as a result of poor regulations (Sam and Zabbey, 2018; Tukur Umar and Hajj Othman, 2017) coupled with the activities of non-standard crude oil refiners (Gundlach, 2018) who are major agents of pollution (Dominic, 2016).
  • Do local crude oil refiners affect farmlands and product yields?
  • This study showed that activities of local crude oil refiners have affected the farmlands and product yields of their host communities. The transportation of crude oil to the local crude oil refineries and the refining process applied by the local crude oil refiners have resulted in pollution of the soil by hydrocarbon components.
  • How important is crude oil to Nigeria's economy?
  • The exploration for, and exploitation of, crude oil has been Nigeria's mainstay for over five decades (Sam and Zabbey, 2018), accounting for over 90% of foreign exchange earnings to the economy (Tukur Umar and Hajj Othman, 2017).
