Port Harcourt, Warri refineries commence production, says NNPC

July 30, 2015

The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) on Wednesday announced that Port Harcourt and Warri refineries have successfully restarted production after a nine-month phased rehabilitation programme.

Re-streaming of production at the two facilities followed the completion of technical repairs by in-house engineers and technicians, the NNPC said.

The Spokesperson for the corporation, Ohi Alegbe, said both plants commenced preliminary production of petroleum products after successful test-runs.

He said Port Harcourt refinery has already raised its operational capacity to about 60 per cent of its 210, 000 barrels per day (bpd) capacity, while production at Warri refinery was projected to hit 80 per cent of installed 125,000 bpd capacity.

Mr. Alegbe said the Port Harcourt Refinery was projected to boost the nation’s local refining capacity with a product yield of five (5) million litres of petrol per day, while Warri Refinery would contribute about 3.5 million litres of petrol to local refining capacity.

Only the 60k barrels per day PH refinery is working and is not working at full capacity yet.

That's beautiful

Saga16:
If you think you can get it cheaper, please do.

It doesn't put as much demand for the dollar as we had in the past.

Competition is also welcomed.

We spent 5 billion dollars importing in the last 3 months , it's at par with what obtained

Not possible.

Mk we do wat, carry keg com beg am

You guys here complaining about monopoly are very daft.

You watched for 8 years + how this man suffered to build a refinery that now works. None of you thought it right to hold your government accountable.

All of you folded your hands and kept quiet... Now you're all shooting Monopoly.

Dangote is a businessman and like every other business, goes for profit. He doesn't give a shot about solving your government problems. If your government isn't working. Change it.

You people have no single conscience , I th

You don't even understand the word " conscience". Learn how to keep your mouth shut when what is being discussed is beyond your comprehension

What conscience? Why does he want to monopolise everything? He can’t have it all . For a business to thrive , it needs a good competitior!

That’s how he monopolised cement, see where we are with it . The earlier you understand that this is business for this man the better

Ode stop supporting evil. Why import when you a comparative advantage. How do you strengthen the naira. You removed subsidy, a private individual built redinery . Why not patronise him. The old lies of saying Dangote can't meet local demand is a big fat lie

Look at this one with 67 IQ trying to teach me words😅

Do U have conscience? Suffering and defending those are making you suffer because of small stipends that cant even take care of you ..

Dangote should simply bring his petrol ⛽️
down to N500/ litre, make everybody eyes clear.

Dangote should sell his own while marketers import theirs that will make the price go down...Dangote is reducing price now because he wants to sell cheaper than marketers, imagine if there are no marketers.... monopoly is bad for the people

tnerro1:
So why is NNPC importing 25 million liters daily

I love the competition....that's why Dangote is always reducing prices

AfahaAbia:
The people at nnpc are just finishing our dear country Nigeria. Why give license for importation which is 10 times more expensive than buy from Dangote This country Nigeria...My God!!!!

U do economics at all in school?

Judolisco:
There's no more reason for anybody to import fuel... U don't import what you have in excess

If we have it and refine it why is it still as expensive as imported one? We don't need monopoly

If marketers are not making gains from importation of these products, they won't dare import anything.
Dangote wanted to bypass the major marketers and sell directly to petrol station marketers/independent marketers to deny importers their business gains. They were campaigning for these importers to sell their tank farm instead of making it easy for them to continue their business by selling to them at reasonable rate so that they can save some expenses they would have encured should they import these products.
His selfishness could not be hidden. He went as far as subverting NNPC shares in his refinery.

If not that these business men are alike, I would suggest that government place dangote sales on a tariff while encouraging others willing to work with government and these importers with subsidies to cut the outflow of our forex on these imports.

This will put dangotes profit in check while the government saves more forex expended on these imports.

If Dangote refinery breakdown and it leads to Petro scarcity, People will blame the government not Dangote

The challenge with importation is that you use up the unavailable foreign exchange for this business.

Asking stupid question

The petrol they are is importing will be the one ph refinery will sell

Mccollins042:

You don't understand what monopoly means, nnpc will not tell you it's importing cos of monopoly, highest it will say cos of availability

Sebi they say pH refinery is working, let's assume they have sold all crude, why don't they import crude instead of petrol

You can pinpoint your argument without insulting , that makes you look even more stupid

The same person that stopped you

Mccollins042:

all of you saying monopoly... Nothing stops you from building your own refinery

And NNPCL is telling porkies that they have to import to meet demand.

Either Dangote reduce his price to be atleast 10-15% cheaper than imported PMS or he should export to other countries or make him use the 500 million litres cook groundnut soup.
BTW, fuel is currently 2600-3000 naira per litre in Bangui, CAR.
If Nigerians can't afford abeg go sell for people wey need am.

Wan tun bere.. Who ask u?

Wow congratulations. Big effort

You all are so quick to use the word 'monopoly' when it comes to dangote. Look at Elon Musk and what's he's doing in the EV business, Internet, and Space. Why is no one accusing him of monopoly That's because Americans will be the first to benefit.

If it's easy..why don't you have other entrepreneurs doing it.

Elevated Illiterate, do you know what is $5 billion in 3 months? You just opened your mouth and bring out figure your brain can barely comprehend.

I stop myself. 😂😂😂😂
I must be very great to have stopped you too.
