The Group Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the NNPCL, Mele Kyari has stated that the second phase of repair works of the Port-Harcourt refinery will be completed by the fourth quarter of 2024

He said this during the inspection tour of the rehabilitation project, which also coincided with the 15th Refineries’ Rehabilitation Steering Committee Meeting, comprising the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Heineken Lokpobiri, Members of the NNPCL Board, and the MD of the Port-Harcourt Refining Company Limited.

The Group Chief Executive Officer of NNPCL, Mele Kyari, clarified that as of December 15, 2023, approximately 84.4% of Area-5 Plant, a crucial element of the Port Harcourt refinery, and 77.4% of the overall rehabilitation project had been completed.

He said, “In our quest to ensure that this refinery is re-streamed to continue to deliver value to Nigerians, we made a promise that we will reach a mechanical completion of phase one of the rehabilitation project by the end of December and get the other plants running in 2024. Today, we have kept those commitments,”

“We are done with phase one. We will complete phase two as promised within 2024, maximum – the last quarter of 2024,”

Refinery when completed to last for 50yrs

Also speaking during the meeting was the Managing Director of the Port-Harcourt Refinery Company, Ibrahim Onoja when the rehabilitation of the refinery is complete it’ll serve the country for another 50 years.

He stated, “This plant you see is a renewed plant that will last Nigeria for decades. We can beat our chest and say we’ve come over 50 years, and we’ll go another 50 years.
“This will give value to Nigeria, create jobs, provide feedstock for industries, revenue, foreign exchange, energy security and more. Phase one of this refinery is 60,000 barrels per day, the other one is 150,000 bpd. So we have a complementary 210,000bpd refinery,”
The Minister of State Petroleum Resources (Gas), Ekperikpe Ekpo, said the PHRC would produce cooking gas, adding that this would lead to a reduction in the importation of the commodity.

Yesterday, the NNPCL reported the completion of the Area 5 section of the Port-Harcourt refinery and the successful mechanical completion and flare start-up.
In March 2021, the federal government approved the contract for the repair of the 210,000-barrel capacity Port-Harcourt refinery for $1.5 billion. The rehabilitation, which was awarded to Tecnimont SPA, an Italian company, was to be done in three phases of 18, 24 and 44 months.

We have started hearing time adjustment now, when the media both the social and the mainstream media informed us earlier that everything is OK. Now we're hearing a different story
Apc with lies, na so Buhari went to Ethiopia and hire an aeroplane, deceived Nigerians that the plane belongs to Nigerians until now that we discovered that it was a fraud

Lol, the more you look the less you see. What we want to see is the refinery producing petroleum products. all these time adjustment I no dey understand am

Now this is coming out from the horses mouth. Q4 of 2024 will reach, a new date will be set.


They'll keep setting and breaking records of unfulfilled promises all by themselves.


I don't blam them but the people who have decided to be dumb.

a life of strife and sorrows

I taught they where celebrating the completion and start of production of this refinery some days ago on twitter, so na audio



Abeg how many phase remain, is like one phase per year

A pity

Criminals In Power..

Someone so many months back said that this Port Harcourt refinery is a conduit for looting money. Its obvious its the truth.

Another criminal venture is the dangote refinery that will never refine one crude oil in many years to come. They are using it to steal crude and sale on the black market to make fast and easy money. May Nigeria never happen to a human being in the next world

What a worthless and useless Nation this country called Nigeria is.

Shit… meaning Dec, 2024.🤦‍♂️
Tinubu self🤦‍♂️..
They might even go for 3rd phase 2025

Dem don dey shift goal post

God bless NIGERIA

Wen it happens

Even punch and other assumed reputable newspapers carried the scam that pH had started operation,when it was clearly obvious that nothing like that would start anytime soon.

Lamba!!

After all the jamboree surrounding the latest news that the refinery is now in full operation?

It's going to be a veerryy bumpy ride for Nigerians.

Tighten your seat belt, it's the season of Lamba!

Modified
The way them dey dish out the Lamba ehn, walahi!! Them no send any morafookaa!!

Refinery dey get phase like lekki phase 1 and phase 2?

Nigeria- fraud!

Omoba phase 1, Lekki phase II ko

Nigeria shall be great again

Another lie.

I hate these people sha. Why do they like toying with our emotions like this? A couple of days ago, they said the refinery is now functional and is set to receive crude and people started rejoicing. Now they're talking about a phase 2 repairs they never mentioned before. The cabal benefiting the most from fuel importation will always frustrate local production. To hell with them all
