The Chairman, Senate adhoc committee investigating Turnaround Maintenance of Nigeria’s Refineries, Senator Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah, has said the Port Harcourt refinery is almost 90 per cent completed and will be operational before the end of year.

This is coming after the federal government failed to meet the February 2024 deadline set for the commencement of operation at the refinery.

Senator Ubah, in a press statement on Saturday, announced the new date when the committee visited Governor Similanayi Fubara of Rivers State at Government House in Port Harcourt said that the work progress at the refinery had attained 90% completion saying that he was confident that the refinery would start operation before the year ends.

Senator Ubah said the committee was at Warri Refinery on Thursday, and had come to Port Harcourt to investigate the work that had been done as well as assess the level of preparedness of both the old and new Port Harcourt refineries to recommence operations.


He said, “We will recall that the old Port Harcourt Refinery was the first refinery in Nigeria built in 1965, and the second one was built in 1989. And for so long now, they have not been in active operations.

“And with the Renewed Hope Agenda of Mr. President, and the desire of Nigerians and our determination; the Senate led by our President, Senator Godswill Akpabio, we had a resolution in the Senate to look at it and make sure that Nigeria’s refineries are working so that we shouldn’t be depending on importation of petroleum products.

“That is one of the reasons we are here and to look into the contract and investigate the level of compliance vis-a-vis the contract specifications.

“We are pleased to note that what we saw is most encouraging as the refinery upgrade and full rehabilitation is almost at 90 per cent completed. We are confident that the refinery will soon be operational before the end of the year,”

The one that was ready to start refining since December, 2023 or which refinery?


NIGERIANs don suffer😂

Why then will something that is 90 percent completion start operations on this Nd of the year

What do they know

I would rather listen to Mele Kyari.

Meanwhile, piiiiggs are free grunt in wild ecstasy

Or you mean 90% incomplete abi?

COMRADES, senator Ifeanyi Uba who is yet to repay his debt to Chief Maduka for ten years now is the one telling us that Port Harcourt refinery is 90% completed
Wait a minute, is the refinery not suppose to be functional by now according to apc?
Why apc to the lie?

So it's not completed since

The government should not rush, a good job should be done before it's put to use. This is the way we were having lots of issues with the Dangote refinery and some people claim it will never work but today, Dangote refinery is selling diesel

Igeji:
Why then will something that is 90 percent completion start operations on this Nd of the year
