Ibe Kachikwu, Minister of State for Pertroleum


The Minister of State for Petroleum, Dr. Ibe Kachikwu, said the nation's refineries are now poised to produce at least 10 million litres of Premier Motor Spirit (PMS) per day.

He made this disclosure during an official visit on Sunday to the Kaduna Refining and Petrochemical Company. He said the purpose of his visit was to ascertain the state of the refinery and identify areas of challenges for the workers. He added that a lot of progress in providing fuel to various part of the country as long queues were gradually disappearing from filling stations. 

He commended the management of the refinery for keeping the refinery functional for more than a week but stated that there was still room for improvement so as to increase the current production level of the refinery from 1.5 million litres to two to three litres daily. 

He assured that the administration was committed to ensuring adequate supply of petroleum products across the country.
