After Failed Promises, Buhari Regime Says Refineries Will Be Rehabilitated By 2022


The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) says it will begin
full rehabilitation of the nations three refineries by January 2020.

The nation’s refineries are located in Port Harcourt, Warri and Kaduna.

The Group Managing Director (GMD) Malam Mele Kyari disclosed this on
Saturday in Port Harcourt during a facility tour to the Port Harcourt
refinery.

Kyari in a  statement said, “We will stick to time, we will deliver
this project by 2022. We will commence actual rehabilitation work in
January.

“We will do everything possible between October and December to close
out all necessary conditions for us to deliver on that project.

“I believe that with the support that we have from the shareholders –
the government of this country, the entire staff of this company and
the contractors, I believe it is doable and we will deliver the
project.”

The NNPC GMD added, "It’s no longer about business now, but a
reputation issue. For the original builders of the refinery, Tecmmont,
Eni/NAOC and NNPC, let us be conscious of the fact that our reputation
is at stake as far as this project is concerned.

“The NNPC leadership has promised this country that our refineries
will work, therefore, we must work not to disappoint over 200 million
Nigerian stakeholders.”

Buhari’s Legacy Of Recessions By Fredrick Nwabufo

Fredrick Nwabufo ‘Why always Buhari?’ As it was in 1984 under General Buhari, so it is in 2016 and 2020 under President Buhari? Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs? If the recession of the 80s under Buhari was a conspiracy by economic and political factors, to what do we attribute that of his first coming as a civilian President — and now in his second coming? Why does pestilence scourge the land, hunger ravage the population and lives lost malevolently when Buhari presides over the country? Why always Buhari? Buhari’s undoing is his wonted predilection for hierarchising ethnicity, religion and loyalty above competence. Since 1999, no President has obtrusively shown a more nepotistic aspect than Buhari.
