We deliberately shut down Refineries – NNPC GMD, Mele Kyari
The Group Managing Director of Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), Mele Kyari, has shared that the corporation deliberately shut down the nation’s refineries because they became unsustainable
Kyari disclosed this when he appeared before the House of Representatives Committee on Petroleum Upstream in Abuja noting that the NNPC was unable to supply crude oil to the refineries, as the Excravos pipeline is the only pipeline the NNPC managed to sustain through the contracting process.
He went on to express that it is practically impossible to run pipelines at their optimum capacity.
“For instance, to run Kaduna and Warri refinery, you need to deliver 170,000 barrel of oil per day so that both will operate at 70 percent capacity,” he said.
Kyari said that at the moment, it only had over 5,000 kilometers of pipelines with 13 fuel depots, which according to him must be protected to forestall the activities of vandals.
“And I can tell you today that except the Atlas cove to Ibadan line and also the Portharcourt to Aba line, none of these pipelines is serviced, we cannot flow product into these lines, the cheap one is to say they are aged but the real reason is that the level of activities of vandals on these lines is gross, monumental, and profound.
“At every point within a month we fix 80 vandal points, the option is to shut them down and the result of having one depot is what we have seen in Lagos,” he said.
This nation is filled with story tellers
I wouldn’t know why
Every aspect of the system, filled with stories
God save us…o from all these clueless individuals in government
This is serious so you deliberately shut down a refineries no wonder they say hike in the price of petroleum product
ok una weldone ooo
Those leaders we have in this nation are wicked. Private organization can sustain refinery but government can’t sustain refinery. This is very very bad.
When you shut down the one we have but you are happy that we are importing fuel from niger republic. Wickedness.
To fix the pipe line and do the needful is your problem. Because you are benefitting from it that is why you don’t want to repair it, there is God.
Those who doesn’t want it to be successful are those who has refinery outside the country and God will punish them For that.
Your head no correct for shutting it down
the NNPC Group Managing Director – Mele Kyari is a complete failures. there’re no justification for these lies. how were the Refineries running or put on Stream before now? Active surveillance is only needed. It’s the nonchalant, and aggradisement from imported products are the bane behind the refusal to bring on stream the Nigerian Refineries. the places from where these imported products comes from, how are their refineries able to operate? the Nigerian Refineries if put on stream are capable to produce enough products for our usage.
Hmmmmm this useless administration just want to run down this country….
You people are failures, it’s a shame God will judge you all
You should be ashamed of saying this.
