President Bola Tinubu has expressed his profound joy at the re- opening of the Warri Refining and Petrochemical Company by the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited.

A statement by the Special Adviser to the President (Information & Strategy), Bayo Onanuga on Monday, described the development as another remarkable achievement in 2024 that has strengthened Nigerians’ hope in his administration.

“Today, the Warri Refinery returned to operation weeks after NNPC Limited restarted the 60,000 Barrels per day at the Port Harcourt Refinery in November.

“With Warri Refining and Petrochemical Company (WRPC) going into operation after several years of inactivity, President Tinubu has once again expressed his administration’s determination to ramp up local refining capacity and make Nigeria a hub for downstream industrial activities in Africa.

“The All Progressives Congress-led administration of President Muhammadu Buhari awarded the contract for the complete rehabilitation and overhaul of the four state-owned refineries,” the statement said.

President Tinubu noted with confidence that with the 125,000 (bpd) Warri Refinery now operating at 60% capacity, his administration’s comprehensive plan to ensure energy efficiency and security is entirely on course. He praised the Mele Kyari-led management of the NNPCL for working hard to restore Nigeria’s glory and pride as a major oil-producing country.

“The restart of Warri Refinery today brings joy and gladness to me and Nigerians. This will further strengthen the hope and confidence of Nigerians for a greater and better future than we promised.

This development is a remarkable way to end the year following the feat recorded earlier with the old Port Harcourt Refinery. I am equally happy that NNPC Limited is implementing my directive to restore all four refineries to good working condition.

“I congratulate Mele Kyari and his team at NNPCL for working hard to restore our national pride and make Nigeria a hub for crude oil refining in Africa,” President Tinubu said.

President Tinubu enjoined NNPCL to accelerate repair work on Kaduna Refinery and the 150,000 (bpd) second refinery in Port Harcourt to consolidate Nigeria’s position as a global energy provider.

WRPC will focus on producing and storing critical products, including Straight Run Kerosene (SRK), Automotive Gas Oil (AGO), and heavy and light Naphtha.

My darling President, Nigeria does not deserve you. If I were you, I will dip my hands into the treasury and continue to pay every penny of subsidy till I bleed the country to its knee, if that makes those ungrateful wailers sleep well at night.

This is in addition to PH refinery coming online, and many other good news we have been hearing in this quarter.

I have said it before and I will say it again...

By the time Tinubu is through with Nigeria, a lot of people will rush to be called agbadorians. Many neutrals will have no other choice than to thank those that saved them from the fake posture of lamba king whose only showing is doing cho cho cho.

Unredeemable haters however will always find something to hate and complain about.

None of the present politicians has the kind of brain, vision and boldness that Tinubu has. What I most like about him is that he is not playing to the gallery or doing photo ops.
