According to Proshare, "a cursory review of this development will immediately identify the following MDA’s/ministries/ministers as the key loopholes as including:
The Minister of Petroleum Resources, Mrs. Deziani Alison-Madueke;
The Minister of Industries, Trade and Investment, Mr. Olusegun Aganga;
The Minister of Agriculture, Mr. Akinwunmi Adesina;
The Minister Of Solid Minerals Development,
The Department Nigerian Customs & Excise Duties
