Tinubu speaks on Port Harcourt refinery

The presidency, in a statement on Tuesday, November 26, said with the successful revival of the Port Harcourt refinery, President Tinubu has urged NNPC Limited to expedite the scheduled reactivation of both the second Port Harcourt refinery and the Warri and Kaduna refineries. This will significantly enhance domestic production capacity and make Nigeria a major energy hub.

According to the statement, the President underscored his administration’s determination to repair the nation’s refineries. He aims to eradicate the perception of Nigeria as a major crude oil producer that lacks the ability to refine its own resources for domestic consumption. He emphasizes the importance of patience, integrity, and accountability in rebuilding the nation’s infrastructure.

The presidency said that in line with the Renewed Hope Agenda, President Tinubu reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to achieving energy sufficiency, enhancing energy security, and boosting Nigeria’s export capacity. This development is expected to have a positive impact on the country’s economy and energy sector.
