My stance on this has always been clear. Privatise the NNPC with the government holding say a 25% stake in it. Then expand its operations to cover manufacturing, automobile assembly, food processing, petrochemicals, power generation, railway equipment manufacture, etc. Within a year, the NNPC should be floated on the New York and London stock exchanges with a market capitalisation of at least $200bn
