Nigerian oil Marketers have revealed that Port Harcourt Refinery is in serious progress in its rehabilitation by the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited. Abubakar Maigandi, the President of Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria disclosed this in an exclusive interview with DAILY POST on Monday.
According to him, his assessment of the government-owned refinery with a combined 250 barrels per day comes after he visited the plant last week. He said Premium Motor Spirit and other petroleum products production will kick off soon in the Port Harcourt refinery but he failed to state the exact date. He noted that the Refinery did not kick off production in September as earlier scheduled due to linkages, stating that the NNPCL has started to fix the setback.
The way I see the Port Harcourt Refinery, very soon they too will start fuel production but I can't say the date. 'They intended to start fuel production but with for certain linkages. Now they are repairing the linkages to make things intact. They are working seriously beyond what people are thinking,' he said. This comes after several missed kick-off dates. The latest missed kick-off was in September.
