The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, said it would embark on a comprehensive rehabilitation of the country’s three refineries located in Port Harcourt, Warri and Kaduna to achieve optimal capacity utilization in 2017.

NNPC disclosed this in a statement signed by Mr Ndu Ughamadu, the Group General Manager, Group Public Affairs Division in Abuja on Tuesdays after the Annual General Meetings of the three refineries.
The Chief Operating Officer, Refineries of the NNPC, Mr. Anibor Kragha, stated that the Corporation was determined to move away from the approach of quick fixes and undertake a comprehensive revamp of the plants.

“The plan for next year is to get the comprehensive rehabilitation programme done.

“The situation is like having three cars in your garage that have not been maintained for 15 to 20 years while you expect optimal performance from them.

“Changing one fuel pump here, one compressor there is not helpful. What we are doing now is to step back and take a holistic approach and do a full rehabilitation of all the refineries.” he said

He added that once the exercise was achieved, the refineries in due course would draw up a chart for routine Turn Around Maintenance (TAM) Programme as and when due.

On the earlier plan to have other refineries co-located with the existing refineries, Kragha explained that though the plan was still on course, none of the projected co-location refineries would come on stream in 2017 based on existing timeline for assemblage of the plants.

On the plan by Port Harcourt Refinery to commence the production of Aviation Turbine Fuel (ATK) for domestic consumption, the COO explained that the refinery was a few steps away from hitting the mark.

‘’We are very close; we have done tests with some of the key marketers. We have achieved all the parameters, we just want to be 110 percent certain,’’ he said.

Earlier in his remark, Managing Director of the Kaduna Refining and Petrochemicals Company, Mr. Mukhtar Maiha, said KRPC was working towards a target of 75 per cent capacity utilization in the New Year based on projected supply of one cargo of crude oil per month.

Also, the Managing Director of Warri Refining and Petrochemicals Company, Mr. Solomon Ladenegan, noted that despite the hostile operating environment fraught with incessant cases of pipeline pulverization and outright product theft, the refinery was looking forward to better days ahead.

LOL... Bad guy... Guy believe small in Nigeria na :DD

This is nonsense! Why can't they just sell off these refineries to companies with the money and expertise to run them properly, and deregulate the whole sector so any private company can get into the business? Instead we either hear yet again the same old story about how "this time" the repairs will finally stick, or we pin all our hopes on handing yet another monopoly to Aliko Dangote - in other words, the height of cluelessness.

NNPC should keep this info Top secret cous there was neva a time they announced anything good about our refineries and it came to pass....

We need new refineries or total overhauling not just rehabilitation or repair as the case may be.

God bless my president
God bless Nigeria

do they mean thesame refineries hon. minister advised to be sold? NNPC should stop giving us fake hope jare

E be like say, dem wan tell us
Another story again ooo

**yawns** next Please!!!!

Make una go sleep... It's way past bed time

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Even their logo looks like someone shinning her teeth!

Lies, lies and lots of it again as usual. They think everyone has been zombified with no thinking faculty....We will surely be referring to this post in 2017 with All Promises Cancelled or disowned..

Stop telling us your plans, surprise us with the finished project. This government and mouth achievement sef

......as usual .... Will work, to work...
zombies over to u.

The NNPC has clearly shown that it lacks the managerial and technical capacity to run refineries despite decades of time to prove the contrary.

Nigerians should realize how lucky they are that NNPC does not run the upstream joint ventures or even NLNG. They would have been run aground by inept government officials and civil servants.

Federal character, quota, nepotism and parochialism can only take one so far.

i believe the caricature NNPC should be overhaul totally , imagine having 4 refineries and none of them is working at the optimal level expected prompting marketers to go abroad for refining, not only that those administrations that promised us modular refinery prior to election as a palliative to ameliorate the sufferings of oil scarcity should be investigated and prosecuted also.

which one is Full Blast

nice

....

Na today? The same way you promised in 2015 that it will work full blast in 2016. Government of empty promises

Another lie with no precise date this time?

God will punish the person(s) that I will hear him or her say "sai baba" again.

Story all the time

People are just saying what they don't know about refineries. Even if it works at full capacity, it is still not enough to cater for our daily needs.

Upgrade or build new refineries.
