The Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Ltd has extended an invitation to former President Olusegun Obasanjo to embark on a tour of the rehabilitated Port Harcourt Refinery, urging him to witness firsthand the progress made under its new management.
This development comes as a response to Obasanjo’s recent interview with Channels Television, where he cast doubt on the refinery’s functionality and the state oil company’s ability to manage the refineries.
Earlier, the President had revealed how NNPC Ltd misled his successor, Late Umaru Musa Yar’Adua into rejecting a $750 million offer from Aliko Dangote, chairman of Dangote Group, to manage the Port Harcourt and Kaduna refineries in 2007.
