Heineken Lokpobiri, Minister of State for Petroleum (oil), has said the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited should be held responsible if the deadline for rehabilitating Port Harcourt and Warri crude oil refineries fails. The Minister disclosed this to journalists after the recent ministers' retreat in Abuja.

Speaking on the completion of rehabilitation of the refineries and the December 2023 deadline, he stressed that NNPCL had assured him that phase 1 of the work would be delivered. He added that other phases of the refinery rehabilitation would be achieved by next year. He emphasized the need to boost crude oil production capacity in the country. 'Yes, the refinery's rehabilitation, if you remember, was started by the previous administration and as part of the President's directive.

Phases 2 and 3 in Port Harcourt will be ready next year, and the whole Kaduna refinery will be ready by the end of next year. 'That is what they said, and I am holding them accountable for their words. I believe that those refineries, if we can achieve some level of rehabilitation by the end of this year, will also improve our domestic refining capacity. 'That's why I said unless we produce sufficient quantities, even if the refineries are rehabilitated, there will be no feedstock.
