I don't deal on Beer parlour gossip. fulanimafia:
Dieazani wrote a letter before leaving office is your defence?
I am giving you concrete evidence that Diezani increased oil swap deals and OPA's by over 80% at the same time refinery repairs were completed and you're telling me about a feather-weight letter she wrote to the EFCC?
**
Frustrated with the impasse, Yakubu, using his approval limit as the NNPC boss, but without the knowledge of Alison-Madueke, started making $2.5 million monthly to the management of the three refineries and encouraged them to revamp the plants with local and external engineers.
Under this arrangement, the refineries were fixed about a year ago and ready to churn out petroleum products, which would have slashed the volume of imported fuel by more than 50 per cent and significantly reduced pressure on the country’s foreign reserves.
In addition, the construction of a power plant for the Port Harcourt refinery was concluded at the beginning of the year to enhance its ability to operate efficiently.
However, instead of ensuring that crude oil was made available to the refineries for domestic consumption, Alison-Madueke, in conjunction with the Pipelines and Products Marketing Company (PPMC), increased the crude oil swaps and OPAs from some 270,000 bpd to 445,000 bpd, thus starving the refineries of crude oil.
The swaps and OPAs were awarded to Aiteo, Ontario Oil & Gas Limited, Sahara Energy, Taleveras Petroleum Trading BV and Swiss firm, Trafigura, among other oil traders.
When contacted on the issue, an aide of the former minister claimed that the reason crude oil was not made available to the plants was because of frequent crude oil theft and vandalism of the pipelines, resulting in losses of up to 30 per cent.

The fact remains that Jonathan and his cronies sabotaged the operations of the refineries after they were repaired so they could continue their wicked looting.

Nothing, absolutely nothing makes any sense in what the wailer in chief just wrote there. You only confirmed what image123 argued that based on what GEJ and his cothieves did, we can only expect d refineries to work in 2016. hello this is 3rd qtr of 2015. so what happened.
The above is a classic feature of Nigerian political discourse: purport to prove or refute something by relying on misrepresentation. In Barcanista's post, NNPC promised that refineries will be back to full capacity in the first quarter of 2016. The above poster now claims that since the refineries are working today, it shows that the NNPC were dishonest at the time and that Barcanista's points have been refuted. Except of course that the refineries are not running at anywhere near full capacity today and are still, according to NNPC, only expected to run at full capacity in the first quarter of 2016. Echoing Okon, NNPC’s Group Managing Director, Mr. Joseph Dawha, said the refineries would work in full capacity next year as a result of the new strategy that has been adopted by the corporation. http://www.thisdaylive.com/articles/exxonmobil-ceo-crude-oil-prices-to-remain-low/203419/Not that I believe a word NNPC says as I suspect they are seeking to mislead Nigerian to stop the privatisation of refineries. 3 Likes |

Good Afternoon and Happy Sunday to all. I am so glad to be writing on a very important subject that is generating unnecessary controversy powered by supporters of the ruling party. To cut the story short, this article is to set the record straight and counter the distortion of facts by a pro-APC poster on this thread Jonathan's Government And The Refineries, Lest We Forget.
1. The Situation/Capacity of Our 4 Refineries Before Jonathan:
To appreciate where we are we need to cast our mind where we were. Let's see the refining capacities between of our 4 Refineries between 2001 and 2010.
PORTHARCOURT REFINERIES:
In 2001, it operated at 60.73 percent, 52.17 (2002), 41.88% (2003), 31.04 percent (2004), 42.18 percent (2005), 50.26 percent (2006), 24.87 percent (2007), 17.84 percent (2008), 9.08 percent (2009), and 9.17 percent (2010), averaging 34 percent in ten years.
***Jonathan Inherited PHCR at 9.17% capacity***
KADUNA REFINERY:
Kaduna refinery operated at 31.39 percent capacity utilisation in 2001, 34.95 percent (2002), 15.96 percent (2003), 26 percent (2004), 33.08 percent
(2005), 8.34 percent (2006), 0.00 percent (2007), 19.56 percent (2008); 20.02 percent (2009), and 20.46 percent (2010). On average, in the ten years, the
Kaduna Refining and Petrochemical complex attained capacity utilisation of 20.97 percent.
***Jonathan Inherited KDRPC at 20.46% capacity***
WARRI REFINERY (WARPC)
Warri refinery operated at 48.29 percent in 2001, 55.53 percent (2002), 14.27 percent (2003), 9.10 percent (2004), 54.85 percent (2005), 3.85 percent (2006), 0.00 percent (2007), 38.52 percent (2008), 43.01 percent (2009), and 43.36 percent (2010), averaging 31 percent between 2001 and 2010.
***Jonathan Inherited WARPC at 43.36% capacity***
www.thisdaylive.com/articles/the-case-for-increasing-refining-capacity/105378/
Nigeria's Refining Capacity During GEJ Era:
May 2013: Portharcourt Refinery (66%)Kaduna Refinery (65%), and Warri (63%)
The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, Thursday, announced an improvement in Nigeria’s refining capacity, declaring that domestic refining of Premium Motor Spirits, PMS, at the country’s three refineries has increased to 10.23 million litres per day.
He disclosed that the Kaduna Refining and Petrochemical Company is currently running at 65 percent installed capacity, while the Warri Refining and Petrochemical Company is producing at 63 per cent and the Port Harcourt Refining and Petrochemical Company at 66 per cent of installed capacity.
“Infact, these refineries have been running consistently for over three months now.”
www.vanguardngr.com/2013/05/nigerias-refineries-now-producing-10m-litresday-of-fuel-nnpc/
Before that statement was made, the then Minister of Petroleum Mrs Alison Madueke had stated in March that early turn around maintenance was already ongoing while the MAIN TAM that was expected to yield the 90% projected capacity was expected to commence later that year.
"Our early turnaround maintenance work has commenced at the Port-Harcourt refinery while the main work is expected to commence in April and may of this year. The TAM and rehabilitation work for Kaduna and Warri refineries are intended to follow in quarter four of this year and quarter one of next year respectively,”
“Our early turnaround maintenance work has commenced at the Port-Harcourt refinery while the main work is expected to commence in April and may of this year.
www.sunnewsonline.com/new/tam-fg-begins-work-on-port-harcourt-refinery-next-month/
Nobody or Group disputed the position of the NNPC. So who was responsible for the improvement to 64% working capacity of our combined refineries in May 2013? JONATHAN of course
October 2014: Turn Around Maintenance Began For The Optiman Performace of Our Refineries (80%):
While the Port Harcourt and Kaduna refineries were built by two Japanese firms - Chioda and JGC, the Warri Refinery was built by Snapcogetti of Italy.
According to The Coordinator, Corporate Planning and Strategy, of the NNPC, Dr. Tim Okon when SAIPEM eventually came, it offered to maintain Port Harcourt Refineries at $550 million, Kaduna Refineries at $600 million and Warri Refinery at $180 million.
Okon said the bills were unacceptable to them because they were too high despite the fact that the figures were eventually reviewed downwards. He said the high bills prompted NNPC to send some of their engineers to the builders abroad to learn the repair processes with a view to saving costs.
Following this move, Okon said NNPC began to spend as low as N10 million to maintain the refineries every month as from October 2014. Following this
development, he said the four refineries would roar back to life and produce in optimum capacity from the first quarter of 2016.

***The Testimony/revelation was made on March 05, 2015***
The Transformational Result By GEJ's Effort
On the 10th of June, the GMD NNPC came out to make the following statements..
“We are taking the refineries unit by unit and carrying out turnaround maintenance on them. So in other words, the maintenance are being carried out on the run and we started a couple of months ago.
“Most of the refineries have advanced to a certain stage where they will be able to operate very soon.
For example, the Port Harcourt refinery, which has reached an advanced stage, will start receiving crude by end of this month and then of course will start contributing to the available products in the country.”

Setting The Record On The Proposed Refineries Privatisation By GEJ's Administration.
I believe it will be great that I also addressed this issue.
On the 8th of February 2012, the FG inaugurated a National Refineries Special Task Force. The task force was to ensure self sufficiency of petroleum products in the country under a strong framework in the shortest possible time. Memebers of the Task Force are Kalu Idika Kalu (Chairman), Mallam Yusuf Alli (Alternate Chairman); Prof. Ayo Ogunye; Mr. Imo Itsueli; Mr. M. B. Shehu, Mr. Olumuyiwa Ajibola and Dr. N. J. D. Erinne. Others are Mr. Alex Ogedengbe; Mallam Bello Maccido; Mr. Emeka Ene; Mr. Stanley Lawson; Mr. Akin Kekere-Ekun; Mrs. Fatima Wali-Abdulrahman; Mallam Abba Dabo; Mr. Harcourt Adukeh; Mrs. Mayen Adetiba; Mr. Babatunde Ogun and Mr. Achese Igwe.
The Task Force was also called "Idika Kalu Task Force".
www.punchng.com/business/business-economy/idika-kalu-heads-refineries-task-force/
In late November 2012, the Task Force Submitted their report where it tasked FG to SALE ALL 4 Refineries. Because lots of money has been spent by successive governments in the name of TAM without yielding result. See Excerpt...
www.punchng.com/editorials/jonathan-sell-the-refineries-now/
In December 13, 2013 the FG constutited a steering committee to look into the privatisation process(in line with the Idika Kalu's Committee recommendation). According to the DG Bureau for Public Enterprises, Benjamin Dikki,
“The President has also approved the constitution of a steering committee on the privatisation process that involves all relevant stakeholder ministries and agencies.
The Steering Committee’s terms of reference would be to, among other things, advise the National Council on Privatisation (NCP) on the best way to privatise the refineries in a manner that would enhance the gains of the privatization programme of the Federal Government; review the diagnostic reports and recommendations of the transaction advisors and make recommendations to the NCP, propose modalities and make recommendations to NCP on labour matters to ensure the successful privatization of the refineries."
www.thisdaylive.com/articles/president-approves-privatisation-of-four-refineries/167056/
On December 18, 2013, the Labour spat fire threatened War because they were erroneously made to believe that the FG has approved "Sale of refinery"
“Our message is very clear; if between now and December 24, 2013, the government fails to cancel the planned privatisation of the refineries, we will wait for the Yuletide period to come and then mobilise between that time and the first week in January 2014; the entire oil and gas workers in Nigeria will go on a total strike and shut down the economy.”
www.businessnews.com.ng/2013/12/18/oil-workers-threatens-nationwide-strike-january-1/
On January 03, 2014 the FG came out to set the record straight that it hasn't authorised ANYONE to sale the refinery. According to spokesman Ruben Abati
“The Federal Government will not sell the refineries. There is no authorisation for anybody to do so; there is no presidential endorsement. Even the minister does not have the powers to sell government’s property,”
www.punchng.com/news/jonathan-hasnt-approved-sale-of-refineries-says-abati/
While the author of that thread made it look like the FG was thorn between privatisation and TAM, the truth is that the GEJ led FG was keen on mthe TAM (as explained above) and also working out modalities that will be acceptable to all stakeholders (including labout) with respect to refinery privatisation by setting up the Steering Committee to yield a permanent solution. Was this not commendable?
I want to enjoin Nigerrians to be very wary of reports from APC. We can't distort facts for politics. The records are there. GEJ inherited a dilapidated refineries and put it on the right path. Let us give honor to whom it is due.

NAIJASOM:
The people trying so hard to give PMB credit for GEJ policies are NOT doing him any favors. All buhari will end up doing is to sit back and relax and just take credit for the works of last administration.
Investors are still uncertain about what direction he plans to take the ongoing reforms started by the last administration and this is affecting FDI and the stock market. I am waiting to see the quality ministers he appoints. That will give me a good indication what the next 4 years would be like. When the old man was shouting 'pighting kwarruption' they thought he did not know what he was saying. All that is needed for Nigeria to work is the will to fight the monster called corruption.

In Barcanista's post, NNPC promised that refineries will be back to full capacity in the first quarter of 2016. The above poster now claims that since the refineries are working today, it shows that the NNPC were dishonest at the time and that Barcanista's points have been refuted.

Good Afternoon and Happy Sunday to all. I am so glad to be writing on a very important subject that is generating unnecessary controversy powered by supporters of the ruling party. To cut the story short, this article is to set the record straight and counter the distortion of facts by a pro-APC poster on this thread Jonathan's Government And The Refineries, Lest We Forget.
1. The Situation/Capacity of Our 4 Refineries Before Jonathan:
To appreciate where we are we need to cast our mind where we were. Let's see the refining capacities between of our 4 Refineries between 2001 and 2010.
PORTHARCOURT REFINERIES:
In 2001, it operated at 60.73 percent, 52.17 (2002), 41.88% (2003), 31.04 percent (2004), 42.18 percent (2005), 50.26 percent (2006), 24.87 percent (2007), 17.84 percent (2008), 9.08 percent (2009), and 9.17 percent (2010), averaging 34 percent in ten years.
***Jonathan Inherited PHCR at 9.17% capacity***
KADUNA REFINERY:
Kaduna refinery operated at 31.39 percent capacity utilisation in 2001, 34.95 percent (2002), 15.96 percent (2003), 26 percent (2004), 33.08 percent
(2005), 8.34 percent (2006), 0.00 percent (2007), 19.56 percent (2008); 20.02 percent (2009), and 20.46 percent (2010). On average, in the ten years, the
Kaduna Refining and Petrochemical complex attained capacity utilisation of 20.97 percent.
***Jonathan Inherited KDRPC at 20.46% capacity***
WARRI REFINERY (WARPC)
Warri refinery operated at 48.29 percent in 2001, 55.53 percent (2002), 14.27 percent (2003), 9.10 percent (2004), 54.85 percent (2005), 3.85 percent (2006), 0.00 percent (2007), 38.52 percent (2008), 43.01 percent (2009), and 43.36 percent (2010), averaging 31 percent between 2001 and 2010.
***Jonathan Inherited WARPC at 43.36% capacity***

Nigeria's Refining Capacity During GEJ Era:
May 2013: Portharcourt Refinery (66%)Kaduna Refinery (65%), and Warri (63%)
The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, Thursday, announced an improvement in Nigeria’s refining capacity, declaring that domestic refining of Premium Motor Spirits, PMS, at the country’s three refineries has increased to 10.23 million litres per day.
He disclosed that the Kaduna Refining and Petrochemical Company is currently running at 65 percent installed capacity, while the Warri Refining and Petrochemical Company is producing at 63 per cent and the Port Harcourt Refining and Petrochemical Company at 66 per cent of installed capacity.
“Infact, these refineries have been running consistently for over three months now.”
www.vanguardngr.com/2013/05/nigerias-refineries-now-producing-10m-litresday-of-fuel-nnpc/
Before that statement was made, the then Minister of Petroleum Mrs Alison Madueke had stated in March that early turn around maintenance was already ongoing while the MAIN TAM that was expected to yield the 90% projected capacity was expected to commence later that year.
"Our early turnaround maintenance work has commenced at the Port-Harcourt refinery while the main work is expected to commence in April and may of this year. The TAM and rehabilitation work for Kaduna and Warri refineries are intended to follow in quarter four of this year and quarter one of next year respectively,”
“Our early turnaround maintenance work has commenced at the Port-Harcourt refinery while the main work is expected to commence in April and may of this year.
www.sunnewsonline.com/new/tam-fg-begins-work-on-port-harcourt-refinery-next-month/
Nobody or Group disputed the position of the NNPC. So who was responsible for the improvement to 64% working capacity of our combined refineries in May 2013? JONATHAN of course
October 2014: Turn Around Maintenance Began For The Optiman Performace of Our Refineries (80%):
While the Port Harcourt and Kaduna refineries were built by two Japanese firms - Chioda and JGC, the Warri Refinery was built by Snapcogetti of Italy.
According to The Coordinator, Corporate Planning and Strategy, of the NNPC, Dr. Tim Okon when SAIPEM eventually came, it offered to maintain Port Harcourt Refineries at $550 million, Kaduna Refineries at $600 million and Warri Refinery at $180 million.
Okon said the bills were unacceptable to them because they were too high despite the fact that the figures were eventually reviewed downwards. He said the high bills prompted NNPC to send some of their engineers to the builders abroad to learn the repair processes with a view to saving costs.
Following this move, Okon said NNPC began to spend as low as N10 million to maintain the refineries every month as from October 2014. Following this
development, he said the four refineries would roar back to life and produce in optimum capacity from the first quarter of 2016.

The Transformational Result By GEJ's Effort
On the 10th of June, the GMD NNPC came out to make the following statements..
“We are taking the refineries unit by unit and carrying out turnaround maintenance on them. So in other words, the maintenance are being carried out on the run and we started a couple of months ago.
“Most of the refineries have advanced to a certain stage where they will be able to operate very soon.
For example, the Port Harcourt refinery, which has reached an advanced stage, will start receiving crude by end of this month and then of course will start contributing to the available products in the country.”

I hope this is satisfactory enough? I hope the APC fans will emulate Buhari by giving credit to whom it is due? Issokay... at the end of the day he cannot rule nigeria forever... even if NNPC was 99.9% reformed under him and he is not destined to come back, what will be will be.... Nigerians should look out for how to move forward instead of dragging with the past... This is part of what made him lose woefully 2 Likes |

i am sure you were in nigeria when the former finance minister stated that marketers were defrauding the government? i am sure you are aware that noi set up committee to verify marketers' claim early this year which forced marketers to hoarde the product and created fuel scarcity that some of you still blamed jonathan? i am sure you saw the sharp decrease of subsidy payment between 2011 and 2014. well. i am very sure that you are aware that there was no fuel scarcity in 2013 and 2014. subsidy must go! emorse:
Mr Barcanista, I pulled the following from your analysis.
It is clear that there was a sharp increase in our refining capacity from 2010 - 2013. Same as our annual subsidy payment. Can you explain why its so?
I believe its one of the signs of GEJ's incompetence. As the saying goes, "things fall apart when the centre cannot hold." |

No matter how much you are paid to do this PR job for the worst government we ever had in Nigeria, it just won't work. The simple question is if GEJ had the best record of fixing the refineries, why did the same GEJ had also the amount of money spent on fuel import subsidies, in trillions of naira? GEJ is the worst thing that happened to Nigeria and it was only God that made sure he lost! barcanista:

Jesusloveyou:
u are right, d same nnpc told us d refinery never produce since 2013, and they were starve of crude oil, And dis op is telling us another story, with dis, d op is indicting gej of sabotage of d economy Look at what NNPC claimed in May 2013: The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, Thursday, announced an improvement in Nigeria’s refining capacity, declaring that domestic refining of Premium Motor Spirits, PMS, at the country’s three refineries has increased to 10.23 million litres per day.
According to Group Executive Director, Refining and Petrochemicals, NNPC, Engineer Anthony Ogbuigwe, the three refineries are also currently producing 5.53 million litres of dual purpose kerosene and 8.016 million litres of automotive gas oil, diesel daily.
He disclosed that the Kaduna Refining and Petrochemical Company is currently running at 65 percent installed capacity, while the Warri Refining and Petrochemical Company is producing at 63 per cent and the Port Harcourt Refining and Petrochemical Company at 66 per cent of installed capacity. - See more at: http://www.vanguardngr.com/2013/05/nigerias-refineries-now-producing-10m-litresday-of-fuel-nnpc/#sthash.TOelmkbz.dpufAnything you hear from NNPC should be taken with a pinch of salt. What makes me laugh is that at the heart of this story, I suspect APC & PDP e-warriors are both wrong. It's likely that the 4 refineries have not and will not make substantial increases in production but APC & PDP e-warriors are too eager to bask in what they think are accomplishments. Stories that the refineries are back in or are approaching full production are not new. Yes, we do have increases in production every now and then but they are slight and are not sustainable. These stories tend to surface everytime there is a suggestion that the Govt is looking to privatise the refineries. They are a means of keeping the refineries in NNPC's hands by reassuring Nigerians that with a little work, the refineries will back functioning in full. It's very simple really, when the refineries are back in full production, you won't need all these moonlight tales as you will feel the effect at the fuel station and in the value of the Naira. 3 Likes |

MaziOmenuko:
I maintain that nothing was wrong with our refineries all these while. I was at warri refinery for a minor maintenance work late last year and it was functioning fine, refining oil at 80% capacity.
The truth remains that nnpc was refining our local crude and circulating it as part of imported crude and paying subsidy to themselves. If they refine 2mill litres per day and get N45 per liter as subsidy fee, do the math and discover how much Denziani and co were robbing us of per day!
Thieves! If NNPC imports PMS through the swap agreements, they'll claim subsidy. If they produce locally and sell in the local market, they'll still claim subsidy. So why incur unnecessary cost in doing round tripping? Makes your analysis illogical. 1 Like |
