Tinubu to NNPCL: Expedite reactivation of second PH Refinery, Warri and Kaduna Refineries

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has congratulated National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) on the successful revitalization of the Port Harcourt Refinery, urging the National Oil company to expedite the scheduled reactivation of both the second Port Harcourt refinery as well as the Warri and Kaduna refineries.

Fresh Angle International, can report that President Tinubu handed down the challenge this afternoon, Tuesday November 26 in a statement released by his Special Adviser on Information & Strategy, Bayo Onanuga.  

The President, who acknowledged the pivotal role of former President Muhammadu Buhari in initiating the comprehensive rehabilitation of all the refineries, expressed gratitude to the African Export-Import Bank for its confidence in financing the critical project.

Tinubu, asserted: “These efforts will significantly enhance domestic production capacity alongside the contributions of privately-owned refineries and make our country a major energy hub, with the gas sector also enjoying unprecedented attention by the administration.”

The President, underscores his administration's determination to repair the nation’s refineries, aiming to eradicate the disheartening perception of Nigeria as a major crude oil producer that lacks the ability to refine its own resources for domestic consumption.

Highlighting the values of patience, integrity, and accountability in the rebuilding of the nation’s infrastructure, President Tinubu called on individuals, institutions, and citizens entrusted with responsibilities to maintain focus and uphold trust in their service to the nation.

In alignment with the Renewed Hope Agenda focused on shared economic prosperity for all, the President reaffirmed his administration's commitment to achieving energy sufficiency, enhancing energy security and boosting export capacity for Nigeria.”
