The Labour Party Presidential candidate in the 2023 election, Peter Obi has congratulated the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation Limited, NNPCL, over the revitalization of the old Port Harcourt refinery.
Recall that the NNPCL on Tuesday announced that the 60,000
barrels-per-day Refinery has commenced operations again.
The development has continued to generate reactions from
Nigerians, who are excited over the end to importation of Premium Motor Spirit,
PMS.
Also reacting, Peter Obi in a statement on Wednesday said
Nigerians await the impacts and benefits to reflect on pump price of the
petroleum products.
“The refinery, which comes on stream today, boasts an
installed production capacity of 60,000 barrels of crude oil per day.
Approximately 200 trucks are expected to load products daily from the refinery.
“Nigerians now await the corresponding impact and benefits
on pump prices and the overall economy”, he said.
The former Anambra governor also expressed optimism that the
“news of the Kaduna refinery’s revival is promising, as it is expected to boost
productivity, improve transportation, and alleviate economic burdens across the
country.
“While we acknowledge these achievements as a step in the
right direction, it is crucial to emphasize the importance of transparency in
the operations of the NNPC.
“Nigerians deserve clarity and accountability regarding the
management of the nation’s vital oil resources, ensuring that the benefits of
increased refining capacity reach every Nigerian and that the gains are used to
support long-term development”.
