Trouble of Matrix Energy Substandard Fuel in Nigeria

 The issue at hand extends beyond the mere importation of substandard fuel by Matrix Energy Oil ; it encompasses a complex web of illicit activities, including the importation of sanctioned products, falsification of documents to facilitate smooth operations, and the deliberate alteration of product origin. It is high time that Matrix Energy assumes responsibility for its actions and ceases its exploitative practices.  Nigerians deserve better and demand immediate action from the President to sanction the regulators responsible and address the leadership of the Oil and Gas sector in Nigeria.
