Kaduna refinery to begin production December – NNPC

The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) says the rehabilitation of the Kaduna Refining and Petrochemicals Company (KRPC) will be completed by December this year.
The refinery, which has stopped production for many years due to lack of maintenance, will resume production at 60% capacity.
The Managing Director of KRPC, Mustafa Sugungun, who disclosed this on Monday during an oversight visit to the refinery by members of the Senate Adhoc Committee on Petroleum Downstream led by Senator Ifeanyi Uba explained that the 110,000 barrel per day refinery will start producing at 60% capacity, while full production will commence subsequently.
“Our rehabilitation is going on well and steadily according to the plan we have. We are planning to bring this plant to 60% nominal capacity by December 31st, 2024”
“Currently, we are heading towards 40% rehabilitation. We remain committed to bringing back the plant at least 60% of its nominal capacity. The overall capacity of Kaduna Refinery is 110, 000 barels per day, but we are starting with only 60% of that. And in less than one year, we will attain the 110,000 capacity” Sugungun said.
On his part, Senator Ubah said that the oversight visit was part of the collaborative effort of President Bola Tinubu and the National Assembly to ensure the nation’s refineries are revived, and consequently enable the country to end the importation of petroleum products.
Kaduna refinery was established in 1980 and other refineries in Port Harcourt and Warri have been moribund, leaving the country to rely on imported petroleum products.
