Port Harcourt Refinery back into operation.

In a statement issued by AYCF President General Yerima Shettima, the group described the refinery’s operational status as a pivotal achievement for Nigeria’s oil industry, marking a new phase of growth, sustainability, and optimism for millions of Nigerians.

Shettima noted, “The restart of crude oil processing at the Port Harcourt Refinery, with an impressive capacity of 60,000 barrels per day, is a significant milestone in Nigeria’s journey toward self-sufficiency in petroleum products.”

He highlighted that the refinery’s ability to load 200 trucks daily with locally refined products showcased the Federal Government and NNPCL’s commitment to revitalizing vital national infrastructure that had long been inactive.

For years, the Port Harcourt Refinery symbolized Nigeria’s potential in the oil sector, yet it struggled with several challenges that hindered its operational efficiency. Shettima stressed that its revival now stands as a beacon of hope, demonstrating the power of vision, determination, and strategic planning.

The AYCF also acknowledged the relentless efforts of the Federal Government and NNPCL in overcoming the obstacles that had prevented the refinery from functioning.

The forum emphasized that the refinery’s reopening has broader implications beyond increased local production, including reducing Nigeria’s dependence on imported petroleum products, which will bolster the nation’s economic sovereignty and help stabilize fuel prices.

Shettima also pointed out that the refinery’s revival is expected to create numerous job opportunities, particularly addressing the country’s unemployment crisis.
