Why is the condition of the biggest oil producer country bad?

Nigeria is the largest oil-producing country in Africa but does not have the capacity to refine oil. The government has to spend crores of rupees every month on this. That’s why the government had to take this difficult decision. The situation worsened by the increase in petrol prices has not yet become completely normal. The fear of the further increase in the price or rationing of petrol has become ingrained in the minds of the people. That’s why people are storing more and more petrol, due to which the crisis of demand and supply has increased. As soon as the government’s order came, many petrol pumps simultaneously increased their prices by three times, which further deepened the crisis.
