The
Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation will soon shut down three of its four
refineries, according to the Group Managing Director, Dr. Maikanti Baru, has
said.
Baru,
who said this on the sidelines of the inaugural Nigerian Pipeline Security
Conference and Exhibition, stated that the purpose of the closure of the
refineries located in Port Harcourt, Warri and Kaduna was to rehabilitate and
restore them to nameplate capacities.
According
to him, the rehabilitation work will restore the refineries to nameplate
capacities by 2019 when the country is expected to end the importation of
petroleum products.
