KADUNA REFINERY

The lubricating oil complex of Kaduna Refinery is the first of its kind in West Africa and one of the largest in Africa. The consulting firm, KING WILKINSON of Hague, Holland, in conjunction with NNPC engineers, developed the plan for the refinery. The contract for construction was awarded to CHIYODA CHEMICAL ENGINEERING & CONSTRUCTION COMPANY OF YOKOHAMA, Japan in 1977.

WARRI REFINERY

NNPC's long term plans for the development of a petrochemicals industry, were formulated in 1977, and were structured in 3 phases. The 1st phase comprised of 3 plants: a linear alkyl benzene plant (LAB) in Kaduna, and the carbon black and polypropylene plants in Warri. The 35,000 MTA Polypropylene and 18,000 MTA Carbon Black Plants built in Ekpan, Warri were commissioned in 1988 http://www.wrpcnnpcng.com/about2.htm

However, credit must first go to Head of State, General Olusegun Obasanjo, because it was under his administration that Buhari signed and supervised the implementation of the Two Refinery projects

I am surprised a whole media outfit couldn't do a simple search before going public.

God bless you

Buhari was minster during the greatest expansion of our refining capacity and pipeline infrastructure.
However this is neither here nor there, all the credit goes to the young military governments of Gowon, Muhammad and Obasanjo. One thing we should thank Buhari for was the lack of corruption scandal with those projects, even then 10% was common. Now with GEJ government, it is 100% kickback by building the project and selling it cheaply to yourself and cronies whilst giving tax waivers for the first five years...lol.
The military rulers worked the National Development Plans well and they had very good civil servants to work with.
Everything got bad with IBB and became hell with Abacha. Abacha's son is now working with Jonathan.

Like the N2.8B fraud, which was $4.6B back then, and around $17B today.

of course, the Head of State first take the credit, while the Minister/NNPC Boss in-charge follow suit

The only thing that should be credited to Buhari is the stolen $2.8 billion under his watch.


From your reference, some sections of petrochemical plants were conceived.

I don't know when a section of a complex or addition of process is regarded as building a Refinery.

WOW!!! I believe you can do better than this... you just pick and chose which side of the coin to show us? I would thought by now, you guys should have given up already on the issue of Buhari building three out of four Nigeria refineries.

You stylishly ignored the first paragraph of the link which talked about the refinery itself... so let me complete your task for you

Following the feasibility studies undertaken by BEICIP, an international oil and gas consulting and software solution provider firm from Paris ,in 1974 for the Federal Government of Nigeria with the objectives to establish the demand and consumption patterns of petroleum products and also determine the size of a new refinery to be constructed, a tendering exercise involving international engineering contractors resulted in the award of a contract to Snamprogetti Spa of Milan , Italy , in 1975 The contract was for the design, procurement and construction of a new grassroots petroleum refinery in Warri[/b] The design capacity of the refinery was 100,000 bpd and the project duration was 30 months. This project was completed and the Warri Refinery was commissioned in 1978

What has building a refinery got to do with building of petrochemical plants

It was N2.8B which was way higher than $2.8B

The decision to build the refinery was taken in 1974!!! do you think that to build a refinery is what you can just plan in less than a year? for your information, the process started in 1974, the visibility study started in 1975... That the project was signed in 1977 does not in any way mention Buhari as the signatory!.

Isn't laughable that when counting Buhari achievements, The Kaduna Refinery (which he knew nothing when it was conceived) is included, yet, OBJ who was the head of state at that time is never any credit??

I will repeat again.. what I have been asking Buhari supporters... List the achievements of Buhari as a HEAD OF STATE.. let us compare it that of Jonathan or other heads of states

Well said, i like the fact that you spread the credit evenly. Today adeshina is credited for the agric reforms, buhari should get due credit.

You can twist all you want, i guess we can give gowon credit for the second Niger bridge that gej signed last year because the design process was done in the 70s.

When was it completed?

As appointed minister of petroleum who do you expect to sign it?

Why glorify this?

Since we are on what he achieved as minister what about his legacy of stealing €2.8 billion pounds from NNPC account?

Signing a contract to build a refinery in Kaduna (hundreds of miles) from any crude oil source is a stupid thing to commend anyone for. That was one daft, politically determined, wasteful project. There is nothing to boast about here.

You are not far from the truth.

You have no idea what you are talking about, why not do a simple Google search on the refinery, the website of the refinery is on this site. Go and read.

So it has changed from who signed it to when it was completed?

Stop the obfuscation, this thread was intended to disprove the recent circulations that Buhari did not build any refinery as accredited to him by his repackaging contractors.

Buhari never built Refinery - Fact

Obiagelli:

Your argument is neither here nor there.. can you prove to us that the contract was signed by Buhari on behalf of Nigeria? The correct thing to say is that OBJ built one out of the country's four refineries.

Your argument that the contract was signed in 1997, and Buhari was the NNPC chairman, therefore the must have signed the contract is to ignore the fact that the permanent secretary or other government minister or even the head of state can sign the same contract as well. The said refinery was even completed in 1980

Are you people not fedup?
With Buhari's operation feed the nation with lies!

And the president happen to be no other than Obasanjo who is currently praising Buhari because him and Buhari know about the missing €2.8 billion pounds back in 1978
