The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited has said that the rehabilitation of three refineries in the country which it has embarked on would reduce fuel scarcity.
NNPCL Executive Vice President, Danladi Inuwa, disclosed this on Wednesday during a workshop sensitisation programme with The Natives, a civil society organisation in Abuja.
He also revealed that the Port Harcourt refinery will start operations by the second quarter of 2023, adding that the Warri and Kaduna refineries have been contracted for quick rehabilitation.
The programme titled, “Understanding our national oil company post-Petroleum Industry Act” was aimed at enlightening the public and moving citizens’ involvement from protests to participation in the decision-making process of the profit-oriented company.
The president of the group, Olalekan Edwards, in his address, voiced concerns about citizen participation in influencing key project decisions in host communities, noting that the narrative needed to change from protests to participation in key decisions.
He said, “The accurate picture here is we want to change the narrative from protest to participation.
