Part of the statement reads,
“Over 75% of this task has been completed and accelerated as workers run day and night shifts. We have completed most of the procurement, we have gone over 98%, and most of them are now delivered.
“We have refineries in the world that are over a hundred years old, the basic static equipment which is the metallic part you see remains fundamentally the same.
“Upgrades happen over the years, yes, the Port Harcourt refinery was built in 1965, but as time went on, the instrumentation equipment was upgraded.
