The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) has announced that the restart of the Port Harcourt Refinery is a pivotal development in Nigeria's pursuit of energy self-sufficiency.
This announcement was made by Olufemi Soneye, the Chief Corporate Communications Officer of NNPCL, during an energy relations stakeholders engagement held in Abuja.
Soneye emphasized the significance of this milestone, stating, "The restart of the Port Harcourt Refinery marks a significant turning point in Nigeria’s quest for energy self-sufficiency, reaffirming the company’s commitment to revitalizing the nation’s refining capacity."
Under the leadership of Group CEO Mele Kyari, NNPCL has achieved groundbreaking milestones that have redefined the trajectory of Nigeria’s oil and gas sector.
