The
Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, disclosed yesterday that Kaduna
Refinery will resume the production of Premium Motor Spirit, PMS (petrol),
within the next three months.
This was
even as NNPC stated that it had lifted the embargo earlier placed on 113
vessels, banning them from engaging in crude oil and gas loading activities in
any of the terminals within Nigerian territorial waters.
In a
statement by NNPC in Abuja, Group Managing Director of the corporation, Mr. Ibe
Kachikwu, stated that the Fluid Catalytic Cracking Unit, FCCU, and the fuel
section of the refinery would be brought back to life within this period to
ensure that Nigerians continue to enjoy uninterrupted supply of petroleum
products.
Kachikwu,
who stated this during a facility tour of the Kaduna Refining Petrochemical
Company, KRPC, said the refinery will get a turn around that, will make it
commercially sustainable.
He said:
“All the component units of the refinery, including the FCCU and the fuel
section, will be fully rehabilitated for resumption of crude supply to the
plant.
