Port Harcourt, Warri refineries to be fully operational in 2024 – Ifeanyi Ubah

The Chairman, Senate Committee on Petroleum (Downstream),
Ifeanyi Ubah, has said that two refineries- Port Harcourt and Warri would be
fully operational by the end of 2024.

 

Ubah said plans have already been put in place to achieve
the target, stressing that the Kaduna Refinery would also be operational before
the end of next year.

 

He said that the completion of the plants and the addition
of supply from the 650,000 barrels per day, bpd Dangote Refinery would enable
the nation to meet its domestic fuel demand.

 

The senator also called on the federal government and other
stakeholders to work toward the establishment of modular refineries to further
expand the nation’s domestic capacity to refine crude oil.

 

“My mandate is to ensure that the refineries in Nigeria are
up and functional. By my involvement, before the end of this year, two
refineries will be up and running.

 

“Also, before the end of next year, the Kaduna refinery will
come on stream.

 

“I can assure Nigerians that I will tirelessly pursue and
ensure that these refineries are up and running before the end of the year. We
have set up a technical team to visit the refineries every two weeks in order
to meet the set target,” he said.
