President Bola Tinubu has expressed his delight at the commencement of operations at the 125,000 barrels per day Warri Refining & Petrochemicals Company (WRPC) in Warri, Delta State.
The restart of the refinery was disclosed by the Group Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL), Mele Kyari, during a tour of the facility on Monday.
According to a statement from Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to the President (Information & Strategy), President Tinubu described the re-opening of the Warri Refinery as another remarkable achievement in 2024 that has strengthened Nigerians’ hope in his administration.
The President noted that the restart of the refinery, which comes weeks after NNPC Limited restarted the 60,000 Barrels per day at the Port Harcourt Refinery in November, is a testament to his administration’s determination to ramp up local refining capacity and make Nigeria a hub for downstream industrial activities in Africa.
President Tinubu also praised the role of former President Muhammadu Buhari in initiating the comprehensive rehabilitation of the four state-owned refineries. [CONTINUE READING HERE]>>>>
