NNPCL Reviving Port Harcourt Refinery Excites President Tinubu…Wants Remaining 3 Fixed Without Delay
President Bola Tinubu has congratulated the Nigeria National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) on bringing the Port Harcourt Refinery back to life and he has urged the state-owned oil company to expedite action and ensure the revival of the second Port Harcourt refinery and the refineries at Warri and Kaduna.
Team@orientactualmags.com learned that the president’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Mr Bayo Onanuga, disclosed this in a statement he issued in Abuja on Tuesday.
‘The President acknowledges the pivotal role of former President Muhammadu Buhari in initiating the comprehensive rehabilitation of all our refineries and expresses gratitude to the African Export-Import Bank for its confidence in financing this critical project.
Furthermore, President Tinubu commends the leadership of NNPC Limited’s Group Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Mele Kyari, whose unwavering dedication and commitment were instrumental in overcoming challenges to achieve this milestone.
With the successful revival of the Port Harcourt refinery, President Tinubu urges NNPC Limited to expedite the scheduled reactivation of both the second Port Harcourt refinery and the Warri and Kaduna refineries’ the statement said.
President Tinubu also noted that these efforts will significantly enhance domestic production capacity alongside the contributions of privately-owned refineries and ‘make our country a major energy hub, with the gas sector also enjoying unprecedented attention by the administration’.
The president also restated his administration’s determination to repair the nation’s refineries to eradicate the disheartening perception of Nigeria as a major crude oil producer that lacks the ability to refine its own resources for domestic consumption.
‘Highlighting the values of patience, integrity, and accountability in the rebuilding of the nation’s infrastructure, President Tinubu calls upon individuals, institutions, and citizens entrusted with responsibilities to maintain focus and uphold trust in their service to the nation.
In alignment with the Renewed Hope Agenda focused on shared economic prosperity for all, the President reaffirms his administration’s commitment to achieving energy sufficiency, enhancing energy security, and boosting export capacity for Nigeria’ the Presidency said.
