NNPC says Nigeria’s four refineries will resume production in July

Reprieve may be on the way of Nigerians from the alleged tyranny of oil marketers as the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, has promised that four of the nation’s refineries will resume production next month.

Disclosing this yesterday, Group General Manager, Public Affairs of the corporation, Ohi Alegbe, noted that, “The refineries at Warri, Port Harcourt and Kaduna will resume next month after a successful turn-around-maintenance (overhaul) of their facilities.

“The turn-around-maintenance has been on for some time. We did not just want to make any noise about it. The refineries will start production as soon as they have delivery of crude oil for refining,” he stated.

Nigeria has four petroleum refineries which are managed by the NNPC. Two of these refineries are in Port Harcourt, one in Kaduna with another in Warri. They all have a combined installed capacity of 445,000 barrels per day.
