The company had set a goal to complete Phase One of the project, encompassing mechanical completion and flare start-up, for Old Port Harcourt Refinery (Area 5) by December. During an inspection tour coinciding with the 15th Refineries’ Rehabilitation Steering Committee Meeting, Mele Kyari, the Group Chief Executive Officer of NNPC Ltd, reported that 84.4% of the Area 5 Plant and 77.4% of the entire rehabilitation project had been completed as of December 15, 2023.
Kyari, expressing satisfaction, stated, “In our quest to ensure that this refinery is re-streamed to continue to deliver value to Nigerians, we made a promise that we will reach a mechanical completion of Phase One of the rehabilitation project by the end of December and get the other plants running in 2024. Today, we have kept those commitments.” He commended the NNPCL staff and the EPCIC contractors for their excellent efforts in achieving this significant milestone.
Chief Pius Akinyelure, Chairman of the NNPCL Board, described the milestone as “historic” and expressed the board’s pride in the refinery’s staff and management. Emphasizing future goals, he stated, “We are just starting. We want to be at the highest production level so that we will keep the prices of petroleum in the country stable to comfort our people and generate more revenue for our country.”
The Minister of State for Petroleum Resources (Oil), Senator Heineken Lokpobiri, acknowledged the milestone as another landmark of the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Tinubu. He expressed gratitude to Nigerians for their patience and trust in the company’s ability to deliver on this significant project.
In his address, the Minister of State for Petroleum (Gas), Ekperikpe Ekpo, highlighted the positive impact of re-streaming the refinery on the nation’s Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) industry. LPG, also known as cooking gas, is a major by-product of the refinery.
