A statement credited to NNPC authorities has it that both the Port Harcourt and Warri refineries have commenced operations after some in-house engineers conducted a nine-month rehabilitation on both facilities. The General Manager, Public Affairs Division, of the NNPC, Mr Ohi Alegbe announced this in a statement released to the press yesterday.
“What this means is that both plants have resumed production of petroleum products. For now, about 60 per cent of its 210,000 barrels per day production capacity is being achieved, but it is projected that it will hit its installed 125,000 barrels per day capacity soon,” the statement read in part.
He also added, that the Port Harcourt refinery would eventually hit five million litres of petrol per day, while Warri would contribute 3.5 million litres of petrol.
