The refinery, which has been dormant for years, has undergone a major rehabilitation project.
The mechanical completion of the refinery was achieved in December 2023, marking a crucial step towards its operational restart.
The refinery is expected to commence production in phases, with the first phase aiming to refine approximately 60,000 barrels of crude oil per day.
The rehabilitation project is a collaborative effort between the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) and Italy’s Maire Tecnimont, with Eni providing technical expertise.
The project’s completion is a testament to the Nigerian government’s commitment to revitalizing the country’s refineries and reducing reliance on imported petroleum products.
The refinery’s operational restart is expected to have a positive impact on Nigeria’s fuel supply and economy. The increased domestic production of petroleum products will help stabilize fuel costs and generate revenue for the country.
Baba Akinyelure, the Board Chairman of NNPC Ltd, has expressed satisfaction with the project’s progress, emphasizing the refinery’s critical role in Nigeria’s economic stability.
