The National Security Council (NSC) has ordered the immediate reopening of the Dangote Cement factory in Obajana which was closed over a week ago.
The Kogi State government sealed the plant on October 5, 2022 over ownership issues and tax breaches.
The meeting, which also resolved to probe the discovered illegal crude pipelines has specifically ordered the Office of the National Security Adviser to investigate all issues relating to the discoveries of abandoned and discovered crude oil pipelines to determine the extent of the illegalities and perpetrators of such.

According to him, they will subsequently report back to President Muhamadu Buhari and the Council.
