Minister Lokpobiri: Kaduna Refinery Can Not Refine Nigeria Crude Oil by ganisucks(f): 8:50am On May 30

Minister of State for Petroleum Resources (Oil), Heineken Lokpobiri, has revealed that the Kaduna Refinery was not calibrated to process Nigeria’s crude oil.

Lokpobiri made the shocking revelation on Wednesday when he featured in a Channels TV programme to speak on President Bola Tinubu’s first year in office.

“What I said was that Nigeria had always imported crude based on the peculiarities of the refineries. And that is why I was giving example of the Kaduna Refinery. We were importing crude oil from Venezuela.

“Nigeria’s crude is one of the lightest crude in the world. It is one of the sweetest crude in the world. Some refineries are not calibrated for that.

“That was why the Kaduna Refinery was one that was meant to refine very thick crude oil. So, they were importing from Venezuela. So, it is not happening for the first time,” Lokpobiri said.

Kikiki... 😆😅🤣😂

There are some clowns who will be shouting refineiri. They don't know that Nigeria is in a comparative advantage agreement. Not one drop of refined petroleum spirit will be brought out of any Nigerian refinery, including Sugar-Cement man's haul of TRASH. Be waiting for miracles

So the Kaduna refinery was calibrated to serve Venezuela?

No be today this scam start. End Nigeria!

Locating the refinery in Kaduna is already a red flag. No oil in Kaduna, no seaport in Kaduna. Gowon should explain why his regime did it.

Let us even accept the calibration for Venezuela's crude oil. Is the refinery functioning? The answer is no. But billions of Naira is spent on the refinery yearly and some people are being paid as workers in the refinery.

Hehehe .

.just imagine the type of news we are hearing in Nigeria.

How can you build a refinery is Nigeria and it can't refine our own crude oil but that of Venezuela grin

, clowns in power.

All these useless refinery gulp down billions of dollars every year without refining a single drop of crude.

It could also interest you to know that some people are being paid as staffs over there to produce nothing.

It's true na. There is nothing shocking about it, it's a well known fact. Refined crude from south is pumped through the pipe to the refinery in stages. Petrol, folllowed by kerosene then diesel.

Calibrated a refinery in Nigeria for a foreign type of crude oil, so some people can make money from the importation of that particular type of crude oil from Venezuela. grin

And a 1000km underground pipeline was built to support it from the coast to Kaduna.

I know no matter how incomprehensible something is there is a possibility of it being tenable in Nigeria.

But this is absolutely BEWILDERING

The Kaduna refinery has always been like that.

It can only refine heavy crude oil, the type that Nigeria doesn't produce.

The government that built the refinery originally probably thought it made strategic sense then. Today, it looks foolish.

In the 70s and 80s, some countries built light and heavy crude refineries. Saudi Arabia and the US built both types, and I believe today Saudis and the USA despite being the largest producers of crude oil, import the variety they don't produce.

That said, while the USA and Saudi Arabia may have good reasons for that policy, it did not and still doesn't make sense for Nigeria.
