National Oil Corporation: “Anonymous buyer” for the foreign partner’s share in the “Ras Lanuf” refinery
Sources from within the National Oil Corporation revealed that it had received a letter from the foreign partner in the “Ras Lanuf” refinery informing it that it had received an offer to sell its share from an “anonymous buyer” about whom no information was revealed, and requested initial approval for the sale.
The sources explained in statements to the “Sada Al-Eqtisadiah” newspaper that the foreign partner requested the Supreme Council for Energy Affairs, requesting guidance to reject or initially accept the sale process.
The sources indicated that if the institution accepts the sale offer, it will request a complete file on the “unknown buyer” regarding his administrative and financial suitability.
The source denied that the anonymous buyer had a relationship with the Zionist entity, saying, “There are attempts by some parties to distract public opinion from living and economic issues, and to promote that the party that made the offer has a relationship with the companies of the Zionist entity, but the National Oil Corporation adheres to the law of boycotting the Zionist entity.”
The source concluded by saying, “The corporation is currently considering offering the foreign partner’s share of local investment to the national private sector, so that the Ras Lanuf refinery will be 100% Libyan.”
