This people are way behind time. Something that is all over SS even built by villagers. Hmmm!!!

I guess FG will encourage them because it's from the north and keep using our Arm forces on innocent guys down South.

Yet the country sells fuel as high as N175/ltr in many places despite the so-called abundance of refineries in the SS? Illiteracy kills faster than anything at least in our society. I blame your parents.

The Department of Chemical Engineering of the Ahmadu Bello University (ABU), Zaria, has established a refinery with capacity to process one barrel of crude oil per day.
The team leader of the project, Professor Ibrahim Ali Muhammad Dabo told our correspondent who visited the refinery site that at present the refinery would be used mainly for the training of students, although the department had the manpower to build a refinery that would be bigger than that of Kaduna if it had government support.
“The initial idea was to construct a 1,000 barrel-capacity refinery, but lack of funding limited us to this one, where we would now be refining one barrel per day,” Dabo said, adding that more than 80 per cent of the materials used for the construction of the refinery were sourced locally.
“Only the controls were sourced from Hong Kong. No expatriate was hired from abroad. All those that were engaged in this project are Nigerians. Therefore, this mini refinery is a product of Nigerian brains. If government can come in, we have the ability to do wonderful things, not only refinery.
This is our training and it is what our department is meant for,” he said.
He explained that beside the land and fencing that ABU provided, the project cost only about N20 million.
Professor Dabo further stated that the idea of the mini refinery was conceived about 15 years back, but work commenced fully in the year 2011.

I think u didn't follow his drift. He meant that there are local refineries in the crreks and villages of SS, but the FG has designated them illegal refinery and is destroying them. Hope they will leave this one in Zaria, cos there has been calls from people for FG to allow those small scale refinery to thrive since our big refineries are moribund.

omoyowa:
This one will think he is educated....
the guy is telling you the truth and here you are blabing trash

Topmostt:
Oga you are the illiterate person here. The guy is very correct,there are a lot of local refineries in the SS but unfortunately , the govt termed them illegal and out to destroy them.

mrvitalis:
U really think boiling crude oil in drums is refining?? I laugh u... That's only profitable because they don't buy crude they steal... This is good

Exponental:
Buy crude oil from government, refine it for a period of one month or so, if you survive with it on your consumptions, then expect talks with govt and other private sectors....

Mememan:
1 barrel per day?






Are you kidding me

AnonyNymous:
Nigerian government, what are you waiting for??

Instead of funding one of your projects that we won't see, give this university a grant to produce a large scale refinery

Dangote does not have to have the monopoly on it when there are many talented minds across the country that need it more

What else is refining if not seperation by boiling point

Let's call a spade a spade

Probably some blending will take place and cracking and hydrotreatment

The government of the should speedily enact laws that enable private firms to set up mini-refineries and reduce the monopoly in that sector. Buhari promised transparency and total turn around of our refineries to meet the demands of the people, but he is being lackadaisical in his approach to it. If the Dangote refinery comes up it will be the only privately owned refinery in the country, think of what such monopoly can create. Of course it will ease pressure off the foreign reserve you will say but will pile it on the poor masses just like in the cement sector. A lot of southerners are capable of setting up modular refineries with less logistics and distribution cost due to their proximity to the source, but the govt will always frustrate such efforts and even criminalize the crude approach to it, instead of giving them support technically and otherwise. Look at the whole cost of setting up a refinery in faraway Kaduna the logistics and distribution risks and costs. We can make things simple for ourselves in this country, why should we always seek to be politically correct. Damn!!!!
