The Port Harcourt refinery will resume operations in April, according to the Group Managing Director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL), Mele Kyari.

In a statement, the NNPCL chief explained that mechanical works have been completed on the facility which has received over 450,000 barrels of crude following delivery from active lines.

He also said repair works at the Kaduna and Warri refineries are near completion.

According to him, the Kaduna refinery is expected to commence operations in December.

“We are happy to announce that the rehabilitation of productivity refinery will commence in three phases,” the then Minister of State for Petroleum Timipre Sylva told reporters.
