Nigeria: NNPC- Four refineries now produces 6.79 million litres of petrol per day.

Abuja — The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) on Tuesday said four of its refineries in Kaduna, Port Harcourt and Warri are now producing over 6.76 million litres of petrol per day.

It explained in a statement from its Group General Manager, Public Affairs, Ohi Alegbe, that the production ratios from the plants indicated that the Port Harcourt refinery which was re-streamed a week earlier was now producing about 4.09 million litres of petrol; the Kaduna Refinery which also recently came back on stream was producing about 1.29 million litres and Warri which it said came up last Sunday was posting a yield of about 1.38 million litres to make up the total daily production of 6.76 million litres.

The four refineries were built to collectively refine 445,000 barrels of crude oil daily but had consistently come short of that for years. Alegbe, however, said daily production from the refineries is projected to increase to over 10 million litres per day by the end of January. He noted that the volumes of petrol produced from the refineries which are currently operating at an appreciable percentage of their nameplate capacities will help stabilise the fuel supply and distribution situation in the country.

The Minister of State for Petroleum Resources who doubles as the Group Managing Director of the corporation, Dr. Ibe Kachikwu, had in December 2015, stated that he was more concerned about getting the refineries back to an appreciable production level. Kachikwu expressed optimism that the refineries would gradually come up to produce up to 10 million litres of petrol per day, thus cutting the country's petrol importation by that volume.

"My concentration right now is to make sure that the refineries are working, the more they work, the higher the chances that I will be closer to the sort of pricing we are comfortable with than when they are not working, that is why you see me putting a lot of energies in going around the refineries.

"Kaduna is doing about 1.5 million litres, hopefully, it will be getting into two million very quickly once the FCC is working; Port Harcourt, when it comes back with a combination of VDU and the FCC, we will probably be looking at about five million litres. Ideally, we want to get to about 10 million capacity out of the about 40 million that we say is the national consumption per day, that is the trend," he said then.

The minister also added: "If all things were equal, I think the maximum cap for Kaduna will be in the two to three million range; Port Harcourt will probably be five and six million and Warri if it comes up, will be another three or four million, so, Warri, is projected to come back between early and mid January and I will say that by the end of January, if all things were working and we do not have any other complications arising from these aging plants, we will expect to see 10 million litres."

President Muhammadu Buhari yesterday disclosed that an inter-ministerial committee would soon be established to speed up the re-organisation and reformation of the NNPC.

A statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr Femi Adesina, said Buhari spoke yesterday at a meeting with the Chief Executive Officer of the International Finance Corporation (IFC), Jin-Yong Cai, at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.

Adesina in a statement said the reformation of the NNPC had become inevitable in view of the corruption and abuse of its present structure in the recent past.

He said the president also cited Nigeria's current need to maximise income from every source of revenue as further imperative for reforming the NNPC.

$2.1bn Arms Deal: Olisa Metuh Spends First Night in EFCC Cell

up by the operatives of the anti-graft agency and it is likely he will still spend more time there.

PDP Spokesperson, Chief Olisa Metuh

 

Peoples Democratic Party spokesperson, Chief Olisa Metuh has spent his first night in the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission's cell after he was picked up by the operatives of the agency yesterday in Abuja to answer questions on how the sum of N1.4 billion left the account of the Office of the National Security Adviser into a company, Destra,  linked to him.

 

Metuh had earlier in a hurried news conference, hinted that the former President, Goodluck Jonathan, had given him a job to do and that he successfully completed the said job, but failed to disclose what the job was, how much he was paid for and when.

 

The revelation by Metuh, according to EFCC officials, prompted the agency to beam its searchlight on cash payments from the ONSA, leading to the discovery that he was one of the major beneficiaries of slush funds, now a subject of investigation and prosecution by the Federal Government.

 

Vanguard revealed that out of the $2.1 billion arms funds, N400 million was transferred from ONSA to the company on November 24, 2014 which previously had a balance of N6, 676,576.06 only before the major transfer from the ONSA.

 

A top source in the EFCC said that Metuh was also receiving a monthly pay of N4 million from ONSA.

 

A top EFCC source said Metuh was likely to spend the night with them given the weight of financial transactions in ONSA traced to him and his company.

 

The source said: “We arrested Chief Metuh this morning (yesterday) and as we speak he is still being questioned and it is not likely that he will be released today.

 

“We want to finish the interrogation of Metuh at once, so that we can decide whether to charge him to court or let him to go,” the source said.

 

Metuh, has, however slammed his arrest by the EFCC, claiming that he was being persecuted.

 

“I have not done anything unlawful. Whatever I have done in pursuance of my office, I can defend it anywhere, any time,”he said.
