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

You are the one dishing out wrong information!
What iv been reading is that at least 70% of this project is completed,so whare did you sort your own news.
Afterall,this Refineries have been abandoned for a decade ( over ten years) , without any meaningful solutions by the Politicians in Nigeria!
So,if as they are making progress and is being shown to us,then let it be and all we Nigerians should do is to continue to ask for finishing Works there,it our Social responsibilities to demand for the best!
Although,NNPC like other MIDAS-e g DISCOS can never be trusted because of Corruption.
Hope, the National Assembly - can get the latest assessment and issues queries to the NNPC on why they can't keep agreement with Nigerians but only good at extension of Projects because of selfishness!

So, is the first phase completed is going to refine petrol by December 2023 as you reassured Nigerians abi? You can only fool your gullible supporters cos that's not what you told us. You said the refinery would commence refining by December and December is ending in a few days, now, its another story of phases.

jaxxy:
we never knew it was phase1 they were completing In December only to hear its a scam and phase2 is not completed Dec next year meaning refinery is not ready.

There is absolutely no controversy here. The press, including Arise TV, has been reporting it for several months that there are 2 refineries within the same area in Port Harcourt and only one would be refurbished this year.

One, which is about 60 years old and has 60 thousand bpd capacity (which is the one every one who follows the news know is being refurbished - just completed).

The other one is, I believe, about 40 years old and has 150 thousand bpd capacity. Refurbishment of this one will start now that the much older one has been completed.

Many people simply do not follow the news keenly. They see things on social media and jump into it with no understanding.

The old refinery that has just been completed has not produced a single litre of oil for about 30 years despite OBJ, Yaradua, and Jonathan spending hundreds of billions on it. Yet, the last govt has achieved a full refurbishment in just a few years. Yet, you people are cursing.

So, what is wrong with finishing one refinery before moving to the other. Do you not know that the project can only proceed at the pace of the Italian contractor's capacity?

Do you also know how difficult it is to completely refurbish a refinery that is based on technology that is no longer in use. Infact the original company that built the refineries refused to bid for the refurbishment work because they could not cope with the ardouos work that would be involved. Most foreign companies were not interested.

The Italian company who agreed to do the work is having to re-engineer most of the parts needed for the refinery and they have imaginatively redone a 60 yr old derelict refinery in a short time under immense pressure from the govt, and yet all many of you can do is still condemn their ingenious work on the old refinery

The government has already paid all the contract fee upfront but the Italian company could not work on 2 completely different refineries at the same time, and that is perfectly understandable.

Now they hope to finish the 2nd refinery in a years time, yet you people's histrionics is palpable.

If something has not worked for more than 20 years, and we have only 1 year to wait for it to work, what is the bid deal. And we now have one that can produce 60 thousand bpd in the interim.

Doing anything for Nigeria is a thankless job.

They keep shifting the goal post
Watch am na till 2031

biafranrealson:
They keep shifting the goal post
Watch am na till 2031

No goal post has shifted.

You probably didn't understand the story from the beginning.

There are 2 different refineries within the same compound.

The government has consistently said the smaller of the 2 refineries will be completed in December 2023. It has been widely reported this has now happened.

The contractor is now going to start work on the 2nd refinery.

Where is the controversy.

Check on Arise tomorrow and see if there is any controversy about government shifting any goal post.

I've watched a few experts in the field explain these facts on Arise in the past few months. Those who follow the news know the government has not shifted any goal post.

Even if they finish the 2nd refinery next year, I suspect many of you will still complain rather than give credit to the Italian company doing the ingenious work.

Life doesn't have to be like this.

Chai!!! They have start their Magic AGAIN...I thought they Told Us it will start production by December and others will follow in January but here we are hearing another ENGLISH...Well I won't be surprised if by March WE are told till June....

Leave the press out of this.

Senior government officials are on record as having said the refinery would be completed, come on stream etc. by December 2023. It is now time to deliver...and the federal tales by moonlight have begun afresh.

This was not what they said b4. That is why people do not believe them. Now they are explaining phase1 and phase2 of which we still don't know if it will ever work.

There is nothing like time adjustment. Rather, you refused to read and comprehend the initial good news about the refinery.

So till 2025 or 2026. Wetin APC won use do campaign is loading. Afta election, na natural death of the refinery you go hear.

You nailed this one. I wonder where all the negativity is coming from. For those that understand this thing from the very beginning, nothing has changed from the plan.

60,000 barrels old refinery was to be completed by end of 2023 (though initial promise by the Buhari govt was months earlier). The 150,000 barrels newer refinery was to be completed in phase 2, to be delivered 6 months to 2 years later. If the argument was about why the newer, modern, higher capacity refinery was not rehabilated first, i would perfectly understand.

These refineries have defied all sorts of solutions thrown at them for close to 30 years. Now that there is light at the end of the tunnel, i am grateful for the prospect of seeing them work again. Simultaneously as PHC refinery phase 2 is being rehabilitated, Warri and Kaduna refineries will be rehabilated but completion may be much later in 2025. Nonetheless a good thing.

My only advice is for govt to consider privatising by selling off these refineries as NNPC cannot profitably manage them. Once the borrowed funds from these rehabilitations have been recovered via current operations management model, they should be sold.

Why govt agency like to lie like dis
