Peter Obi, a politician and former governor of Anambra State, has called on the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation Limited (NNPCL) to provide transparency and accountability regarding the operations of the newly reactivated Port Harcourt Refinery.
The Port Harcourt Refining Company Ltd, located in Rivers State, began operations on Tuesday, marking the end of a series of missed deadlines by NNPCL management.
While Obi welcomed the reopening of the refinery, he emphasized the importance of NNPCL offering clear and honest information about its operations.
He also acknowledged the corporation’s achievement in getting the facility back online.

“I wish to congratulate the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) for fulfilling the long-standing promise of revamping the old Port Harcourt refinery.
The refinery, which comes on stream today boasts an installed production capacity of 60,000 barrels of crude oil per day.
“Approximately 200 trucks are expected to load products daily from the refinery. Nigerians now await the corresponding impact and benefits on pump prices and the overall economy. “Additionally, news of the Kaduna refinery’s revival is promising, as it is expected to boost productivity, improve transportation, and alleviate economic burdens across the country.
“While we acknowledge these achievements as a step in the right direction, it is crucial to emphasise the importance of transparency in the operations of the NNPC,” he wrote.
