Refineries not tenure elongation. This promise sounds like an attainable one, and we hold GEJ & Mrs. Madueke to it.

Just as a reminder this should not become "Benin-Ore" road, nor are we looking for apologies i 2013 & 2014.

Can't wait.

Lagos: The Federal Government said on Monday that it would refine more than one million barrels of petrol per day (bpd) by 2014.

The Minister for Petroleum Resources, Mrs Diezani Alison-Madueke, disclosed this at the Society for Petroleum Engineers (SPE) yearly conference and exhibition in Abuja.


Nigeria's Minister of Petroleum Diezani Allison-Madueke

Alison-Madueke said that the nation’s refining capacity would receive significant boost in the next three years with the building of three new refineries.

According to the minister, the turn-around maintenance of the four refineries in the country will be handled by the companies that first built them to ensure efficiency.

“The new refineries and the old ones will actually give us the result that we desire in this country,’’ she said.

The minister said that the turn-around maintenance of the four refineries would be completed within 24 months, beginning with the Port Harcourt refinery.

The Group Managing Director of NNPC, Mr Austen Oniwon, said that a Japanese firm, vast in the repairs of refinery, would handle the Port Harcourt refinery.

Oniwon said that talks were on with another firm in Italy, adding that hopefully by next year, the firms would move into Port Harcourt refinery to begin work.

“It is not just the turn-around maintenance, it is the full rehabilitation of the refineries,’’ he said.

According to Oniwon, the refineries have no limited capacity and there is not going to be a major change in configuration of the facility since the plant is still the same.

He said the major challenge of one of the refineries was the imbalance in one of the units, which had been expanded by the licensor of the unit in July.

“So our team will be going to U.K. to meet with the consultant to review the feasibility study.

“Thereafter we will engage the financiers and the contractors to examine the feasibility study to determine appropriately the type and the configuration of the Greenfield refineries,’’ Oniwon said. (NAN)

LIES AND THE LYING LIARS THAT TELL THEM.

Alison-Madueke said that the nation’s refining capacity would receive significant boost in the next three years with the building of three new refineries.

No mention of how we are going to get these extra three refineries. Is she going to wish them into existence?? No measurable goals and no checkpoints.

In the Book of Fresh Air (chapter 1 verse 1) 1:1 - In the beginning GEJ created a better Nigeria. Fresh Air 1:2 - And GEJ  said, LET THERE BE THREE REFINERIES and there were THREE REFINERIES.

Oniwon said that talks were on with another firm in Italy, adding that[b] hopefully by next year[/b], the firms would move into Port Harcourt refinery to begin work.

Where are our timelines, and measurable goals??


This is deception of CRETINS by CRETINS for CRETINS 

@o.Poster,
what will u do if this promise fails like millions of other promises failed? what do u stand to gain as a nigerian from the sale of 50 million barrels per day? at the end of the day, salaries of our criminal minded politicians will be tripled and the looting will sky-rocketed.

All that is going to happen is wasting money on trips to London, Italy and Japan.

They haven't even concluded feasibility studies on how the new refineries will be built, yet some daft people are making promises about 2014?

I love it !!!! Very apt . It rolls off the tongue very well also . "deception of cretins by cretins" 

@Koruji.

Juxtapose this pledge with how (1) the ultra-important PIB is now relegated behind the frivolous tenure elongation bill and (2) the general insincerity of the GEJ Government plus (3) how the Government is doing directly the opposite of what is required to improve the efficiency of our refineries (NNPC to turn around refineries in 24 months instead of transparent privatization as heavily expected before the elections) and it is clear that we are highly unlikely to see this target amount to anything more than deceptive talk.

Remember that the same Allison-Madueke, in 2007, wept over the State of important Federal roads and pledged Federal roads will be rehabilitated ASAP. We are in 2011 now . What is the state of our federal roads? Are they "rehabilitated"?

a piece of their bodies scattered across the 36 states with thier heads on stakes lining the aso drive.

6000 megawatts by yar'adua is still diminishing to less than 4000mw in 2011(12 in no time). and they think we will be moved by big numbers and deadlines. nobody is saying anything about the much touted 2,600mw mambilla hydro-elect nonsense. a project drags on for so long in this country. them just want start the travels and them don already give 2014. nonsens

We are tired of FRESH LIES

I Remember teh dmx LYRICS of those blessed days: Here we go again, same old shit though, just a diffrent game. Yeah, the minister fumbling with our fantasy. Though seem to have learnt the trade of deciet well.

why did DEAD yar'adua boost Nigeria light to 6000megawatts??
Talk reasonable son

people of very little faith

Broda JohnPaul, them main theme of my post was the promises na, haba, i didnt say yar'adua gave us 6,000. i implied he promised us that and yet we are still to hit the 4000 mark so long after.

people of very little faith

Horsebrednigga, faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

We have not seen anything encouraging from GEJ and Madueke so for now, we have faith, but not blind faith.

We are tired of FRESH LIES

an open lie

Phewwwww, these people just talk 4 talking sake, or surely must think we are fools sha, 

Somebody please tell her to gop back to Honathans bedroom and also make sure that Madam Umbleraa gets her allocation
this month, Tsssschewwwww

The muppets are even confuzzled - why would anyone want to refine 1m bpd of petrol? Isn't it refined already?

Now we don't know if they intend to produce 1m bpd of petrol or refine 1m bpd of crude oil, which is not equivalent to 1m bpd of petrol

Lol  - you are too deep  - You know the majority of Nigerians wouldn't have noted the difference - Maybe Nigeria wants to be first Nation to refine petrol

@debosky, @Blackstar,

I take it they mean 1m barrels of petrol as final output of our refineries.
The question is whats our total local consumption per day. Answering that question may determine if the set bar of 1m barrels makes any contribution to reduce/remove importation of petrol.

Of course the possibility of us even achieving it without any concrete plan is another jist entirely.

where will they be located
when will construction start
when will construction finish
who will own them
where is the money coming from

The govt and its cronies just think they can continue deceiving Nigerians with their shameless lies.

Nigerians are now getting wiser.

The day of reckoning is fast approaching.

To me thats not a great news,the main issue is what you are doing with the revenues from petroleum and allied products.
People should come come to Nigeria and see and comment that YOU KNOW THEY ARE NO 2 OPEC MEMBER
CORRUPTlON
MlSMANAGEMENT
NO FUTURE PLANS
ETC

The total crude processing capacities of the 4 refineries are 445,000bpd= 18 million litres / day.

The main output from the refineries is within 60% of the total crude processing capacities

Nigeria needs a minimum of 30 million litres of petrol daily .


Though this kind of statement sounds like a recycled gist that has been peddled around since PDP took over 12years ago

How does building of 3 new refineries BOOST daily oil output?  What have we truly gained from the current levels? Was it not only recently that it was announced that the current refineries still function at about 30%?
