The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation on Tuesday said that it would take 18 months, beginning from October 2014, to rehabilitate the country’s refineries.

However, between October and Tuesday when the announcement was made, three months have elapsed, leaving about 15 months for the rehabilitation to be concluded.

According to the corporation, the rehabilitation will be in phases. It added 60 per cent of the materials needed for the Turnaround Maintenance of the refineries had been delivered.

The nation has four refineries; two in Port Harcourt and one each in Kaduna and Warri.

The Group General Manager, Group Public Affairs Division, NNPC, Mr. Ohi Alegbe, said the materials for the TAM were delivered to the Port Harcourt Refining Company and that the installation of the equipment and parts were in progress.

He said the material orders and deliveries to Kaduna and Warri refineries were substantial and sufficient to operate the production process.

“The phased rehabilitation programme started in October of 2014 after the required funding stream was established and will last for 18 months,” the corporation said in a statement.

Most of the refined crude oil products consumed in Nigeria are imported from overseas because the local refineries are performing far below expectation.

Early this month, The PUNCH had reported that the Kaduna and Warri Refining and Petrochemical Companies, with combined capacity of 235,000 barrels per day, produced nothing in September after all the four refineries received an opening stock of 253.26 thousand metric tonnes of crude oil made available for processing.

Yea they always forget, that. If you want the refineries to work at full capacity then take away fuel subsidy

After this extensive repair, oil/subsidy cabals will still make sure that these refineries do not work optimally, Madam Diezani is aware of this but will never say it out. Billions of Naira are being sunk in the name of TAM for refineries, nothing tangible to show for it.
