Tinubu Commends NNPCL Over Reopening of Warri Refinery

President Bola Tinubu has commended the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) for the successful reopening of the Port Harcourt refinery, and directed the reactivation of the Warri and Kaduna refineries. This move is expected to enhance domestic production capacity and make Nigeria a major energy hub.

The President acknowledged the role of former President Muhammadu Buhari in initiating the comprehensive rehabilitation of the refineries and expressed gratitude to the African Export-Import Bank for financing the project. He also praised the leadership of NNPCL's Group Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Mele Kyari, for his dedication and commitment to overcoming challenges.

The reactivation of the Warri and Kaduna refineries is a significant step towards achieving energy sufficiency and enhancing energy security in Nigeria. This development is part of the administration's efforts to repair the nation's refineries and eradicate the perception of Nigeria as a major crude oil producer that lacks the ability to refine its own resources for domestic consumption.
