Niger State Governor, Mohammed Umaru Bago has applauded President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for his tireless efforts to ensure the re-opening of the Warri refinery.
In a statement issued by his Chief Press Secretary, Bologi Ibrahim in Minna, the governor described the development as unprecedented and a giant step towards restoring the hope of Nigerians through local production and refining of crude.
Governor Bago said the President’s strides of reviving the Warri refinery back to operation after several years of being inactive has proven that President Tinubu is willing to change the narrative in the petroleum downstream sector.
According to him, “the Warri Refinery, which is operating at 60% capacity and producing 125,000 barrels per day, will further compliment the Port Harcourt refinery which was also revived in November and now fully operational, is a testament to President Tinubu’s renewed hope agenda to better the lives of Nigerians as a major oil-producing Nation.”
He also hoped that the Kaduna Refinery and the 150,000 bpd capacity refinery in Port Harcourt will soon be fully operational as well.
Governor Mohammed Umaru Bago noted that the successful re opening of these refineries is making a significant positive impact and inspiring confidence among citizens in the country.
