Kaduna Refinery and Petrochemical Company has restarted production. The refinery, which has the capacity to refine up to 110,000 barrels of crude oil a day was closed for months as it underwent repairs.
The managing director, Pipelines and Products marketing Company, Esther Nnamdi-Ogbue, said that the plant, which was closed in September, came back on stream ahead of the December deadline for Nigeria’s four refineries to return to full production.
The group managing director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, Ibe Kachikwu, had issued a 90-day ultimatum to the management of the four refineries shortly after his appointment last August.
It's a good step in the right direction and will hopefully ease the problem of fuel scarcity which is currently rocking the nation.
