“NNPCLimited’s Kaduna Refining & Petrochemical Company Ltd & Daewoo Engineering & Construction Nigeria Ltd. signed a contract for maintenance services for quick-fix repairs of KRPC,” the oil firm said on its official Twitter page on Thursday.
The biggest state-run refinery, which is Port Harcourt , is currently undergoing repairs handled by Tecnimont of Italy. “This marks a milestone in the history of KRPC considering that the last Turn Around Maintenance on the refinery occurred about fifteen years ago,” Mr Adetunji said. “Restoring WRPC and KRPC back to operation will guarantee energy security for the country and reduce dependence on imported petroleum products in view of near total dependence on the supply of imported petroleum products and the impact the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war is having on global supply,” he said.
He added that post-rehabilitation of the three refineries, globally reputable operations and maintenance contractors shall be engaged to run the refinery safely, reliably, sustainably and profitably.
