[size=28pt]Nigeria's refinery project to create 7,000 jobs[/size] LAGOS — An estimated 7,000 jobs will be created in Nigeria's southern Bayelsa State when a refinery is built there in a joint project with China, state oil officials said on Thursday. State-run Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) said in a statement that the Bayelsa refinery is one of three to be built across the country with a total installed capacity of 750,000 barrels per day. The three 'Greenfield Refineries' will be located in Bayelsa, the commercial capital Lagos and central Kogi state, the statement said. "An estimated 7,000 job opportunities would be up for grabs courtesy of the planned construction and operation of a Greenfield Refinery in Bayelsa State by the NNPC, in partnership with the China State Construction Engineering Corporation (CSCEC)," the statement said. The lack of employment is often cited as one of the main causes of armed militancy in the oil-rich Niger Delta. Two months ago, the NNPC signed an agreement with CSCEC to jointly seek debt financing from Chinese banks for the funding and construction of the three refineries and one petrochemical plant at a cost of 23 billion dollars in one of Africa's biggest tie-ups with China, The Bayelsa refinery is expected to produce about 500,000 metric tonnes of liquefied petroleum gas per annum, NNPC director Billy Agha said. During a meeting with NPPC and Chinese investors, Bayelsa Governor Timipre Sylva urged NNPC to establish the refinery in Oloibiri, the community where commercial crude oil exploration and production first began 53 years ago, the statement said. The Lagos refinery alone will cost eight billion dollars. The sprawling city of some 15 million people experiences regular power and fuel crises. Officials said the refinery will have the capacity to refine 300,000 barrels of oil per day and 500,000 metric tonnes of liquefied petroleum gas per year. The Chinese state firm will contribute 80 percent of the capital while the NNPC will take care of the remaining 20 percent, they said. http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5ja9YJZ2FfiHLvJXHkaFke_lWXxJw |

More oil refineries need to be built in the Niger Delta. I support this but more needs to happen. Ileke-Idi, maybe you should come to the Niger Delta and see it for yourself. |

They should leave Lagos out of this. It is too crowded and polluted to be dealing with gas flares. What kind of crazy country is this? No planning at all. A whole commercial center will have a refinery smack in the middle of it. These Nigerian leaders are very crazy.  |

Not going to happen. There are already refineries in nigeria. what is stopping them from maintaining those and opening them back up? There's no way foreign countries who make money off of refining nigerians oil will allow this to happen. They will continue to higher or have the godfathers destroy the pipelines or completely sabotage the refinery. China's just in Nigeria to collect there money.They already know whats going to happen. 7,000 jobs? yeah right keep telling the public what they want to hear. they've been doing this same thing for all these years,each year, and still no real refineries. |

chyz: There are already refineries in Nigeria, but in which parts of the country are those located? Refineries built in the Niger Delta, especially, should help begin to appease the issue some of the citizens of the Delta have with the state. And then, with the refineries located nearer to the pumps, those illegal gas flares should burn less frequently in places like Ebocha. |

EzeUche: so you mean the Igbos know the creeks better than the Niger Deltans brrrrrrrrrrrrah i hail o chyz: If the three in Nigeria are working at full capacity their output is still not enough for 1/3 of the country plus we need more gas for electricity But I agree we signed a deal for the railway with the Chinese and nothings been heard ever since |

TewMuch: You now see why many Nigerians are tired of living in a country ruled, not governed, by fools of limitless capacity of exhibiting their foolishness? |

Cohomology: And the sick thing is Chinese people are even worse that Nigerians when it comes to environmental ethics or business ethics. None whatsoever. Nigerians always scream about not wanting to die, but all these nonsense their leaders do kill them faster than they can imagine. How much can you possibly pay a Nigerian as bribe to kill himself? I am thinking anything? No wonder the cases of cancer is rising and killing Nigerians like rats. Really Nigerians need to change. This is too stupid to be true. |

Cohomology: TewMuch: I think you guys are way wrong on this one, thats why its a greenfield refinery (Basically flares from the refinery will produce power). Much as I would like to bash our inept leaders, on this note its a prudent move. |

A whole commercial center will have a refinery smack in the middle of it. These Nigerian leaders are very crazy Theres nothing wrong with the project and your premise is dead wrong mate. . pls know something about how the world works before u run your mouth There are lots of Refineries in Houston,There tons of refineries in Singapore a tiny city state more dense and with less space than lagos There are 2 refineries in Philadelphia where i reside. . . And the refinery will be located in the Lekki Free trade zone,an industrial zone on the edge of Lagos. . not the middle of it. . . U guys in Nairaland come online everyday,display your ignorance and foolish ones readilly agree with u. . . .  |
