Uncertainty lingers over December deadline for Port Harcourt Refinery

Less than one month to the deadline given by authorities of the Federal Government for the takeoff of the Port Harcourt Refinery, reactions coming from Nigerians across sectors are dominated by misgivings driven by several of such promises that had failed in the past.

On August 25, the Minister of State for Petroleum (Oil) Heineken Lokpobiri, announced that the Port Harcourt Refinery would be ready for operation by December 2023. The minister gave the assurance during an inspection tour of the project site in Port Harcourt.
