The way this Refinery gimmick will blow up in the faces of the APC will not be monotonous. The TAM project was supposed to go hand in hand with a deregulation of the industry- privatisation of the sector leading to sales of the refineries. The refurbishing and maintenance was to raise it to a standard fit for auction. Experts of the oil sector have stated categorically that the refineries can not be sustained publicly in the long run and that they can not meet local demand. Even PMB has dissociated himself from it, but the APC spin machine refuses to let go. Well good luck with it, when things go south, don't do a 360

longayink:
Let it be.

But never again can any government of Nigeria waste such huge sums of money to dig oil tunnel of about 1000 kilometres from the oil source in order to establish a refinery elsewhere.

Money spent on digging that tunnel was part of the wastes by northern military regimes that left Nigerians with poverty today.

I have good reasons to thank God for the fact that we got it right by electing President Buhari. God bless Nigeria.

SaTANists are crying while Nigeria is progressing.

Very good riddance.

And we say Jona was scammed big time.

Meaning that the refineries were not as bad as they made us belief while enriching themselves through crude import subsidies.

ur sycophancy is legendary

Hehehe Thank you for the insult.

So u don't see it reasonable to have a refinery up North to cater for the needs of the Northern region as regards petroleum products given the size of the country.


And also given that it will provide jobs for people in that area. And recall that there are already 3 refineries in the south.

Why are u people so selfish and callous?
I'm from the South, but with my interactions wt Southern folks, I can say assuming it is southerners that have been in position of advantage since the creation of Nigeria and has ruled for a longer period of time by fiat, they would have totally subdued the Northerners and de-robe them of every iota of human dignity.

Infact u guys would have impoverish them more and make jest of their poverty and educational status.

Selfishness has even made some of u guys to lack sound reasoning.

There are many countries in the world without vast crude oil resources but who has many productive refineries.

Go back to school and learn common factors that determine the location of industries.

Sugar, tomatoes, etc., are produced in the north. How many industries related with manufacture with those northern raw materials are located in your south of Nigeria?

You can as well suggest the relocation of present oil wells in the south to north of Nigeria in order to make north rich, in order demonstrate your south's selflessness.

Availability of raw materials or cost of transportation of raw materials to the site of the proposed industry is one - most important.

But we are still on the 'short-run'. Why not cool down to see how things unfold. The first task is to get all the refineries working at optimum capacity while ensuring that corruption in its operations is brought down to the barest minimum. After this has been achieved, then govt can unfold it's mid-term/long-term plan for the refineries.

Why not wish the govt success. It will be to the benefit of the entire nation if they record an astounding success in the mangt of the Petroleum sector.

agabusta:


It is u that needs to re-learn, do u think it is only one factor that is considered in siting an industry/factory??

Only one factor?! Only closeness to raw-material?? Cmon! Think outside d box. There are many factors to be considered.

You are right, closeness to raw-material is one of them. But, get this into ur head, it's just one of the factors.

This refinery is not purely and solely a capitalist oriented project. This is where u seem to be getting it wrong. At the long run, the socio-economic advantage that it give Nigeria from its operations, especially the North, will knock off the high cost of bringing raw-materials to it.

Some of u peeps fail to realise that a boat that sinks at one side will eventually sink the whole boat. As much as possible, socio-economic development must be given a spread in the country.

As regards your reference to raw-materials and industries. There are many food processing factories in Ogun and Lag, that relies on supply from the north.

hinwazaka:

The best developments in government were planned ten years to their launch. We should think in the long run not shortrun

989900:


How would you rather refined products get to the north?

erico2k2:

I think you are missing the point here, waht that guy said was right, there was no clear economical gains to a refinery to be sited in the North.The pry function of that refinery should be cracking not fractional distillation.Take the UK as case sturdy they have 13 refineries, non in London, why do you think they never built any refinery in London?

agabusta:


I agree with u. But u can't jump from start to the 'long-run'. Lol

Before getting to that 'long-run', one will go through the 'short-run' and 'mid-run'.

That was why I said everything is still in order. Because these are the things that are supposed to be on ground before moving to the mid/long term plans.

erico2k2:

Pipe line should be made to transfer product there, there is such word as deport and tank farms.The thing is when it comes to crude everybody thinks they are entitled to it,to be hones people in the south realy wish it never existed except for the few who cling to large chunk of its benefits to their selfish banks accounts.

agabusta:


It is u that is missing the point. How can u say there is no clear economic gain in siting a refinery in the North? Well u have said it that the economic gain is not clear to u anyways.

So u want the entire North as vast as that to rely solely on transportation of products by tankers and pipes? And for your information, the Kaduna refinery is also designed to be able to refine other crude types different from only that of Nigeria.

So because London does not have a refinery now means a refinery in Kaduna is an error? That is an unreasonable analogy. What similarities does Kaduna and London have? Lagos get refinery?
