That's why I reported him straight. Na frustration some of them have been using to engage others as if we knew about their life's predicaments

Thanks my brotha. Na wa for some people.

Dogalmighty17:
OP is useless. Look at them two bastards commenting up there. You can polish shit but it will still remain shit. Nothing has changed in the Nigerian economic landscape to warrant Total changing its mind.

Honestly this forum has gone to the dogs. How can you just post an innocent news report from a credible source, and someone, from nowhere just calls you a bastard for no tangible reason?

It's unfortunate.

helinues:
Good

Mr President is so highly respected. Everybody wants to work with him!

adenigga:
The Port Harcourt Refining Company has clarified that its operations were not completely halted but scaled down to facilitate improvements at the facility.

It disclosed this on Sunday as the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria insisted that it would not buy from the Port Harcourt refinery if the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited sells fuel from the plant at an expensive rate.

Oil retailers had claimed that NNPCL was dispensing petrol from the plant at N1,030/litre. This is about N60 higher than the price of petrol produced by the Dangote Petroleum Refinery.

Although NNPCL denied the claim, it failed to state the price of petrol produced from the newly rehabilitated Port Harcourt refinery.

Speaking during a guided tour of the Port Harcourt refinery led by the Managing Director, Ibrahim Onoja, the Executive Director of Operations, Nigerian Pipeline and Storage Company Limited, Moyi Maidunama, said the plant was working.

Maidunama told journalists that there was a temporary hitch in operations, but explained that the reduction in operations was necessary to address technical issues and enhance capacity.

He said, “So, the operations were not halted. It was obviously reduced due to some improvements that we needed to make. We are managing the process with the number of trucks available today, using a few loading arms for evacuation. This should be resolved soon.”

He assured all that product distribution was ongoing, with several trucks loading refined products, and added that the process would continue uninterrupted.

The Terminal Manager, Port Harcourt Depot, Worlu Joel, confirmed that the facility had commenced the distribution of products, including Premium Motor Spirit, kerosene, and diesel.

He, however, expressed concerns over the low turnout of tanker drivers.

He said, “We have surplus products available and operational loading arms, but we’ve had to beg tanker drivers to come and evacuate products. We’ve loaded more than ten trucks already and expect to dispatch at least 15 before the day ends.”

Joel noted that the depot operates with 11 functional loading bays, but only three are currently in use due to their high efficiency. Each bay, he explained, can load three trucks in just 15 minutes.

“If you give us 100 trucks today, we can evacuate them in less than five hours,” he assured.

Highlighting the strides made at the refinery, the Managing Director, Ibrahim Onoja, said the plant had undergone extensive upgrades to improve efficiency and reliability.


“The plant is running, and we are trucking out our products. We’ve carried out a massive revamp, replacing most of the equipment, including pumps, instrumentation, and cables. What we’ve done here is a significant upgrade of the facility,” Onoja stated.

The PHRC team reiterated its commitment to maintaining consistent product distribution while ensuring that ongoing improvements enhance the refinery’s overall operations.

IPMAN reacts

The Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria said it would not buy from the Port Harcourt refinery if NNPCL sells the fuel at an expensive rate.

IPMAN said it was not expecting the Port Harcourt refinery’s petrol to be more expensive than that of the Dangote refinery or to be at par with the imported one.

The spokesperson of the association, Chinedu Ukadike, while speaking in an interview with our correspondent on Saturday, said fuel from the Port Harcourt refinery should be more affordable.

Ukadike was reacting to claims by the Petroleum Products Retail Outlet Owners Association of Nigeria that the NNPC would sell its PMS at N1,030 per litre.

He said the price was not acceptable to independent marketers so they would have to stay with another petrol source.

“If the Port Harcourt refinery’s PMs price is truly N1,030, it is unacceptable to us independent marketers. We will not buy from them. We will buy where it is cheap,” he said.

Ukadike, however, expressed hope that NNPC would review the price.

They promised to review the price. We will wait till then, but now we will buy from where it is cheaper,” he stated.

Recall that the NNPC has said it has not started selling PMS from the Port Harcourt refinery to outsiders, its products are exclusively for its retail stores at this stage.

NNPC spokesperson, Olufemi Soneye, said the price would be reviewed based on operational realities.

“Our pricing is reviewed and adjusted periodically as necessary to reflect operational realities,” he stated.


CORAN comments

The Crude Oil Refineries Owners Association of Nigeria said the blended PMS from the refinery should be cheaper than the one produced directly.[/i]⁴

CORAN National Publicity Secretary, Eche Idoko, said “It should be very cheap.”

[i]Giving insights into the blending of petroleum products, Idoko explained that naphtha is a flammable liquid hydrocarbon mixture used as a feedstock for producing petrol, diesel, and other petroleum products. In contrast, Cracked C5 is used to break down heavier hydrocarbons into lighter ones.

He said the NNPC’s decision to blend naphtha with cracked C5 to produce petrol is likely aimed at increasing petrol production, improving petrol quality or reducing production costs.

“Blending naphtha with cracked C5 might be more cost-effective than using other feedstocks or production methods,” he stated.

However, he said some concerns have been raised about blending, including environmental impact due to the blending process releasing harmful emissions or pollutants.

He also added that the blended petrol might not meet international standards, potentially affecting vehicle performance, emissions, and safety.

He warned that if the naphtha as well as other feedstocks needed for the blending is imported, the exercise might not be sustainable in the long term.

“It’s essential to note that the NNPC’s decision to blend naphtha with cracked C5 is likely driven by various factors, including economic, logistical, and technical considerations,” Idoko explained.

N860 per litre

An Energy Consultant, Henry Adigun, said the PMS from the Port Harcourt refinery should be around N860 to N870 because it was blended.

Adigun said the Port Harcourt refinery is not a blending plant, but the facility is yet to attain the level where it would produce petrol directly without any need to blend.

According to him, straight-run gasoline has higher sulphur content and it must be blended to get the required standard.


“The straight-run gasoline only means gasoline with higher sulphur content. It is not illegal to blend. They blend everywhere in the world, just ensure everything is normal,” Adigun said.

Asked if the facility is more or less a blending plant rather than a refinery, he replied in the negative.

“It is not a blending plant. It’s a refinery. A refinery can also be a blending plant,” he said.

Speaking on why the refinery could not produce standard petrol that would not require any blending component, the expert explained, “They have not got to that point. Where they are now is not the stage where they can produce petrol directly. There are different refinery stages. That is the stage they are now.

“The blended product will be (more) cheaper. It should be between N860 and N870,“ Adigun disclosed.

Thanks for the clarification. I always knew it was a brief issue that would be quickly resolved.

I hope Oseni Rufai will apologise.

He called this thing a scam.

More Tinubunomics dividends? These guys were shunning investment in Nigeria for Angola and Uganda just last year! I saw the CEO of this company tell Dangote to his face at an Economic Summit in Rwanda that they want nothing to do with Nigeria, and are only investing in Angola, due to constant policy somersaults of the Nigerian govt historically.

Now they are going into Nigeria? Wow...

TotalEnergies Eyes $750 Million Gas Project in Nigeria to Boost LNG Supplies

- Bloomberg

French energy major TotalEnergies SE may greenlight a $750 million gas project in Nigeria next year, potentially signaling that the African nation’s efforts to revive investment in its hydrocarbon production are making progress.

Earlier this year, the French company approved an investment of about $500 million in a joint venture with state-owned Nigerian National Petroleum Co. to develop the Ubeta onshore field. That project with output of 300 million cubic feet per day will boost supply to the Nigerian Liquefied Natural Gas plant.

DomPerignon:
Ojukwu fled his Biafra and his deputy surrendered unconditionally to Federal forces.

Ojukwu will later plead and be granted a pardon by the then executive democratically elected civilian President Shagari .

Ojukwu will join politics and float his own national party and even contest to be President of Nigeria.

Ojukwu lived the remaining of his life as a Nigerian citizen and died a Nigerian citizen and was given a military state burial with the Nigerian flag draped over his coffin.

Who then are these fools to say Ojukwu's 1967 May 30th declaration of Biafra still stands ?

If they don’t say that, how will they eat?

Oh boy, the whole Biafra thing is a money-spinning venture for these boys. Nothing more. They figured out the quickest way to get contributions from Igbos is to shout ‘Biafra’. They make millions from diaspora Igbos in the US. especially.

It’s a very big business.😊

Typical from a tribalist Igbo pig traitor.

All this ugly pig knows is tribalism, even though it was NIGERIANS who made him what he is today, not Igbos.

SPIT.

There are levels to this thing. Did we not gain independence from colonialists? Did we sign the kind of stooooopid agreements the francophone countries signed?

Toh

DON’T MIND THESE KIDS OF YESTERDAY EQUATING NIGERIA WITH BURKINA FASO AND NIGER REPUBLIC.

Nigeria’s GDP ACCOUNTS FOR 75% OF WEST AFRICA’S GDP.

Nigeria also has by far the most powerful MILITARY in West Africa, which will never permit the stationing of French troops in Nigeria under ANY circumstances, as happened in the smaller West African nations.

FRANCE CAN ONLY APPROACH NIGERIA AS A BUSINESS AND INVESTMENT PARTNER, NOT AS A COLONIAL OVERLORD.

thumbsme:
Listen, You guys pushing this narratives are either being purposely ignorant or pitifully mischievous.
Kemi Could never have gotten to where she is today if she had being the 'face of Nigeria' you lots a talking about, and for whatever reason, if she starts today, that will be the beginning of her downfall. Britain is not Nigeria!
Sadly, Many of you would deny being Nigerian given one-tenth of the water she has waded through to conquer the space she currently occupies.
So, if you have never for once contributed to her being where she is today, SHUT UP!

Kemi Badenoch actively and consistently engaged with the UK Nigerian community from at least 2010, and she sought after, and received heavy political and financial support and assistance from the 300,000 strong UK Nigerian community.

One of her letters was recently published where she was openly requesting financial support and promising to promote Nigerian interests if she succeeded in her political campaign.

malali:
Kemi Badenoch is an immigrant.

Her parents are first generation immigrant.

Kemi is second generation immigrant.

She is sacrificing her soul for that job....Her grandfathers house is still in Nigeria.

10 generations before her were all buried in Nigeria.

She is a deluded Uncle Tom wannabe briton at her best.

Rishi Sunak claims his Indian Heritage, Observes his hindu holidays and customs. Proudly associated with indians.

Kemi acts like you want to associate her with shit, when you mention Nigeria around her.

She’s a disgrace.

LeeSmart:
Mr op even if na de president of syria or togo visit france na desame kinda respect dem go accord dem, which one be all dis chest beating? Nawa for some of una oo

You are wrong.

A state visit is very different from a regular presidential visit.

In the former there are state banquets, inspection of a guard of honour, 21-gun salute, extended negotiations and deliberations etc, and it normally lasts 2 or 3 days.

Artiiclebeast:
France will do anything to find a new zombie in Africa as their former zombies have decided to go roguish and rebellious with the scales off frin their eyes.

The irony of this all however, is that, the new zombie was the one the former zombies thought and were relying on to sustain the move to liberate Africa from the throes of colonialism.

I pity and laugh at those who are cheering this on.

The true African revolutionaries from Burkina Faso, Mali, Senegal, etc. Will look at this and shake their heads in disgusts and shame.

They would slap themselves for believing and thinking Nigeria knew better and was indeed a "Big Brother".

Shameeee

What a truck load of garbage.

You think Nigeria is Burkina Faso?

Listen, young man. Nigeria’s GDP accounts for 75% of the ENTIRE GDP of 14-nation strong West Africa.

FRANCE has ZERO hold on Nigerian resources, and can ONLY approach Nigeria as a PARTNER in business and investment.

NOT as an overlord of the type you see with these small countries like Niger Republic and Burkina Faso.

How dare you equate Nigeria with such tiny, dependent countries?

Rubbish.

tundegan:
France is a major player in the world stage and their recognition of Tinubu speaks volume.

All Tinubu wants is investment and technology transfer. What they want is for more French companies to be given contracts, instead of China getting all the deals.

It can be a win-win if we keep it real with them.

Paris rolls out the red carpet for President Tinubu in a grand State Reception only reserved for major world leaders, in a sign of Nigeria's rising profile on the international stage, and a clear affirmation of her status as the Giant of Africa.
