NewsOnline Nigeria reports that the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, NNPCL, says the new Port Harcourt refinery is over 90 per cent completed.
This Nigeria news platform understands that the Group Chief Executive Officer of the NNPCL, Mele Kyari, stated this on Monday when labour leaders from the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, and the Trade Union Congress, TUC, visited the facility in Rivers State.
Recall that After a long delay involving at least seven missed deadlines, NNPC finally activated the 60,000 barrels per day (bpd) phase one of the Port Harcourt oil refinery.
The rehabilitation process for the total 210,000 bpd refinery began in 2021 after the federal government secured a $1.5 billion contract to fix the facility, which had been left decrepit for years.
NNPC had initially failed to make public the litres of petrol, diesel, jet fuel, and naphtha the refinery will roll out, in negation of global best practices.
However, citing public criticism, the national oil company later said it was refining 1.4 million litres of petrol per day, an extremely low figure by all estimations.
