Strategic Nnpc Benin Depot Finally Reopened by awodman: 12:19pm On Jan 18, 2013 |
The ongoing effort by the GEJ led government to open up the closed depots owned by NNPC so as to make petroleum products available has recorded another success with the opening of the Benin depot.Also at the occasion the petroleum minister said that state owned NPDC has become the largest supplier of gas in the domestic market hence boosting efforts in the gas-to-power initiative. Speaking at the occassion,Edo state governor Adams oshimole commended the federal government for rehabilitating and opening the depot after long years of closure. On his part, Governor Adams Oshiomhole of Edo State commended President Jonathan for reactivating the depot, saying without the president’s intervention, it would not have been possible. “We commend the leadership of the president for giving the support and providing the resources and political leadership without which today would not have been a reality,” he noted. The president, according to him, “has demonstrated with the way this facility has been restored that we don’t need to wallow in lamentation and that we can find courage to provide leadership to drive changes that are necessary for us to invent those things that we had before that have disappeared.” See link: www.thisdaylive.com/articles/alison-madueke-npdc-turns-major-domestic-gas-suppliers/136732/ |

By d way, dis is d 3rd or 4th depot and pipeline system brought back to live afta sm yrs (even decades for sm of dem) of bn moribud in d last yr or so. Aba and Ore and i tink Mosimi hv already bn brought back to life. Jos and Gombe are almost finishd and odas esp up north wud soon follow. Kudos to PPMC. GEJ is clearing away d mess/years dat d kankaworm and catapilla hv eaten, d headiwork (or is it, 'no work') of past leadas SLOWLY and SILENTLY. He is fixing d power sector finali; resuscitating dilapilitatd rail tracks and building new ones; remodeling rotten airports 11 of dem at a time in one yr, 11 oda ones and 5 new terminals to start dis yr; building new river ports along d Niger (1 already complete and d oda 3 almost complete) and dredging d river as well as Benue; repairing sm abandond roads like Benin-Ore, Abuja-Lokoja, Onitsha-Owerri, Enugu-PH, Kano-Maiduguri, Ibadan-Lagos, East-West etc - though a lot of work still needs doing on roads; providing free/subsidizd fertilizers and seeds that get to d real farmers unlike what obtains previously ;providing educational opportunities for MILLIONS of Almajiris in d north FOR THE 1ST TIME even if most oda presidents were from d north without doing anything, 87 new model day and boarding schools hv already bn completd in 9 months while 9 new universities hv bn built; better electoral climate and a more transparent environment (FOI et al) also bn institutd, etc etc. I pray that this trend continues as well as oda many inadequacies solvd overtime.... 3 Likes |

Just read d link now. NPDC now d largest domestic supplier of natural gas and the 5th largest Oil company in Nigeria?? The same NPDC that was almost a joke sm 5 yrs ago? .... And the NPDC Oredo gas field and plant project finali complete? Meaning there's high hope that d newly almost completd 450MW Ihovor/Benin power plant wud hv sufficient gas supply to fire it later dis yr when it goes on stream. Really GREAT news... |

I actually wanted to post this article from the Nation Newspapers on this retooled Benin Depot in a new thread, but since this thread already exists I decided to post it here in stead: A strong feeling of appreciation and re-awakening ran through the historic city of Benin in Edo State yesterday as Minister of Petroleum Resources Mrs. Diezani Alison-Madueke re-commissioned the strategic Benin Depot of the Pipelines and Products Marketing Company (PPMC) which has been out of operation since 2005. http://thenationonlineng.net/new/news/benin-oil-depot-back-in-operation/ 1 Like |

While the effort of GEJ in reviving the depots especially the one in Benin-City is commendable, in the same spirit of accountability and transparency as demanded by insincere9Nigerian, thelostpope, etc, can we know who we're responsible for the dearth of these depots, what happened to the monies allocated to these depots when they were not functioning, and most importantly, HOW MUCH DID THIS GOVERNMENT/NNPC spend to revive the depot! What exactly did they revive in the depot? Has the capacity of the depot been increased? Or did they just re-paint the storage tanks, change the discharging nozzles and re-paint the fencing? The other very potent question that must be answered is this; given that the Benin Depot takes delivery from the Warri Refinery, what is the current state of that refinery, else if th depot is unable to get supplies from Warri Refinery as has been the case in the past, the revived depot would be useless to the people. Again, without any political biase, GEJ's effort if truly transparent is commendable, but this is not the time for praise singing, Nigerians need him to do more and better because His government has been given all the support need to truly bring Nigeria back from the dust and get her steam rolling in high places, that is not happening yet, hence we must continue to put GEJ on His toes and not sing His praises |

Good thing from the retardeen govt however how much did this cost us.we need to know that that liar of a woman called madueke isn't playing a fast one here. Giving us crumbs having spent a fortune. This is the season of accountability. Thank goodness our curses seems to be working afterall. They seems to be more responsive with such. Gone are the days of praying for our evil leaders. |
Re: Strategic Nnpc Benin Depot Finally Reopened by Demdem(m): 12:10am On Jan 21, 2013 |
Secondly, the retardeen should take a look at the TAM of these refineries and subsequent building of new refineries. Telling us govt can't suceed in running refineries and waiting for investors IMO is silly. |
