The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) has insisted that the Port Harcourt refinery will be completed this December as earlier stated.
NNPC, Chief Communications Officer Olufemi Soneye in a statement on Sunday said the mechanical completion of the refinery will be achieved this month.
According to him, owing to the assurance given by the contractors, nothing had so far altered the completion date.
“We have said from time that by the end of December, the mechanical completion of the refinery will be completed. Yes, we are still maintaining that. Nothing has changed,”
“What they (contractors) said is that all things working well, the refineries will be working in December and January.
“That is what has been there and that is what the contractors have said. And we are working on that timeline.
“And as NNPC, we are going around on every milestone we are pushing out information. So, we are working on that December/January,” he said.
