Buhari’s Government Hasn’t Spent A Penny On Refineries – Kachikwu by Gistpeeps(op): 6:56am On Dec 14, 2018

Minister of State for Petroleum Resource, Dr. Ibe Kachikwu yesterday said the President Muhammadu Buhari-led government has not spent a dime on the country’s four refineries, an achievement not many have paid attention to.

Kachikwu said this in Abuja during a presentation of three years key achievements of the ministry and award to its staff.

Daily Trust estimates that more than N264 billion was spent on turn around maintenance of the refineries by successive governments before the present administration but the plants have failed to deliver.

The minister said all the efforts made so far to fix the refineries have been to find private investors to collaborate with government to put these refineries in order and then save government money.

“What is important is that for the first time, the president had been able to say that he would repair the refineries without government money. Nobody had been able to give attention to that,” Kachikwu said.

“No government one penny had been spent on any refinery,” he added.

“This is because every Turn Around Maintenance (TAM) that we have done in the past has always come up with stories. Wrong contracting models, wrong delivery, wrong work, and we don’t want to go that way.”

He said government’s target was to bring in private sector investors to finance the repairs of the refineries.

“NNPC have struggled to find the financiers, now financiers have finally been found but to agree on terms have been difficult. I am hoping that by the end of this year and first quarter next year we would have completed the commercial aspect of this financial undertaking which is in the excess of over $2 billion.”

Kachikwu said he would love to see a day when there would be no fuel scarcity in the country but for that to happen, the liberalization of the sector was going to be a panacea.

“As long as we continue to subsidize products, create market-unfriendly type practices, we would continue to struggle,” he said.

There is where PDP and their criminals led us to.

See this dummy talking nonsense. The same refinery Buhari promised to revamp within six months. Even u couldn't agree terms with the private investors after waiting for over 3 years. Apc is scam, simple as ABC.

Re: Buhari’s Government Hasn’t Spent A Penny On Refineries – Kachikwu by Racoon(m):
This is pure lies.So what happened to the government promise to get our refineries working? So how have they been producing the little they have been augmenting with the foreign refined product?

So the government means there have not been any Turn Around Maintenance(TAM) budget for the Warri, PH, Kaduna etc.refineries till date? Well, it simply means the govt is still a complete failure.

Meanwhile what have become of the APC government's one-year one-refinery promise? Of course all promises have been cancelled.

OK!


Its just that fuel at 145 naira per liter is too expensive coupled with high cost of virtually everything in Nigeria today.

Doesn't it all amount to the same thing? Is this not what Atiku also said he was going to do? Let's get real here, anyhow, they are still codedly selling NNPC to the highest bidder. I hope they negotiate well undecided
