President Bola Tinubu on Tuesday urged the Nigeria National Petroleum Company Limited to speed up the revitalisation of the Warri and Kaduna refineries after the Port Harcourt refinery roared back to life.
Tinubu’s special adviser on information and strategy Bayo Onanuga said in press statement made available to the media Tuesday that the President was elated with the successful completion of the Port Harcourt rehabilitation and wants the other refineries still lying dormant to start functioning again.
“The President acknowledges the pivotal role of former President Muhammadu Buhari in initiating the comprehensive rehabilitation of all our refineries and expresses gratitude to the African Export-Import Bank for its confidence in financing this critical project.
“Furthermore, President Tinubu commends the leadership of NNPC Limited’s Group Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Mele Kyari, whose unwavering dedication and commitment were instrumental in overcoming challenges to achieve this milestone.
“With the successful revival of the Port Harcourt refinery, President Tinubu urges NNPC Limited to expedite the scheduled reactivation of both the second Port Harcourt refinery and the Warri and Kaduna refineries.”
