BREAKING: Port Harcourt Refinery Officially Commences Crude Oil Processing by malali(op): 9:28am On Nov 26, 2024
The Port Harcourt Refinery has officially begun processing crude oil, marking a significant milestone in Nigeria’s energy sector.

This development comes after a $1.5 billion renovation project initiated in 2021 under a Federal Government contract to modernise the facility.

Situated in Alesa Eleme, Port Harcourt, the refinery complex houses two operational units established in 1965 and 1989. They have a combined installed capacity of 210,000 barrels per day.

The older plant processes 60,000 barrels per stream day, while the newer unit handles 150,000 barrels daily.

The facility’s resumption will produce key petroleum products, including premium motor spirit, diesel, and liquefied petroleum gas.

The first trucks of petroleum products are scheduled to leave the refinery on Tuesday, November 26.

The rehabilitation of the Port Harcourt Refinery signals a broader effort to revitalise Nigeria’s refining capacity and reduce its reliance on imported fuel, a move expected to ease foreign exchange pressures and bolster the economy.

This is the first refinery fixed in the Tinubu Era.

Kudos to him.

Lets give credit when due and criticize when appropriate as well.

Tinubu has absolutely nothing to do with a refinery that was over 80% complete and all allocations made before he took power. What exactly was his unique input.

This sort of rubbish is why we can never demand performance from our political leaders. We just find every means to dash them performance
Re: BREAKING: Port Harcourt Refinery Officially Commences Crude Oil Processing by SmartPolician: 9:45am On Nov 26, 2024
They should sell off that refinery. Add some money to its proceeds and build a new one. That refinery is outdated and will hardly produce to its optimal capacity.

There is something called project delivery and operations

Tinubu had nothing to do with the project delivery
But has everything to do with the operations and maintenance

What exactly has tinubu got to do with it?
What was his role?
How did he influence a project that had been fully awarded and paid for and the mechanical completion had already been celebrated before he took over?

If it breaks down again the workers should be sacked or pay suspended. Majority of the workers are involved in the sabotage of the refineries, they don't want to work but want free payment.

Of course.

If it fails, blame Tinubu.

If it works praise no one.

Gotcha.
