Sibabasibaba1:1. Buhari never built the first refinery and never claimed building it. 2. The Op/ the newspaper lied because as stated earlier it wasn't Buhari initiative but he was the Federal Commissioner for Petroleum Resources, March 1976 to June 1978; 3. He was the Military Governor, North Eastern State of Nigeria, August 1975 – March 1976; against the OP of 1975 to 1978. 4.Chairman, Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, June 1978 – July 1978; 5. REFINERY PROJECT DECISION The decision to construct the third Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) refinery in Kaduna was taken in 1974 along with that of the second NNPC refinery located at Warri. However, it was decided that work would commence on the construction of the third refinery whenever the projection of the consumption of petroleum products justifies it. By early 1975, in view of the fuel shortages experienced then, the Federal Government decided that work on the third refinery should be advanced. It was envisaged that the refinery was to be a simple hydro skimming type refinery in order to meet up with the fuel demand then. Based on the feasibility studies carried out, which took into consideration the consumption of the various petroleum products within the Northern Zone, and adequate means of disposal for the surplus products, a Refinery with crude oil capacity of 42,000 barrels per stream day (BPSD) could be easily justified. Hence, the refinery was designed for a capacity of 60,000 BPSD. It was much later that the Federal Government decided that the capacity for any refinery in Nigeria should not be below 100,000 BPSD. However, this would have led to the production of large quantity of heavy ends. And one practical and viable solution is reprocessing the heavy fuel oils. In order to do this, the whole project plans had to be modified so that what initially was planned to be simply a hydro skimming type refinery, developed into an integrated refinery. The refinery would now be able to produce a wider variety of petroleum products, some of which should be lubricating base oils. Hence, it became necessary to import suitable paraffinic based crude oil from Venezuela, Kuwait or Saudi Arabia. Products from the Refinery include; Fuels for use as Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG), Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), Automotive Gas Oil (AGO) or Diesel oil, Kerosene, Fuel Oil, Sulphur and those from the lubricating oils complex are Base Oils, Asphalt (Bitumen) and Waxes. The lubricating oil complex of Kaduna Refinery is the first of its kind in West Africa and one of the largest in Africa. The consulting firm, KING WILKINSON of Hague, Holland, in conjunction with NNPC engineers, developed the plan for the refinery. The contract for construction was awarded to CHIYODA CHEMICAL ENGINEERING & CONSTRUCTION COMPANY OF YOKOHAMA, Japan in 1977. The Refinery project was completed and the Fuels Plant was commissioned in 1980. However the Lubes Plant was commissioned in 1983 and Petrochemical Plant much later in 1988. The initial operation and maintenance was carried out by Nigerian Staff and expatriate personnel as technical back up. By 1985, Nigerian staff had virtually taken over all the maintenance and operations. If Buhari was the Federal Commissioner for Petroleum Resources, March 1976 to June 1978; who now supervised and awarded the contract. culled from http://www.nnpcgroup.com/nnpcbusiness/subsidiaries/krpc.aspx. 6.The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) is the state oil corporation which was established on April 1, 1977. In addition to its exploration activities, the Corporation was given powers and operational interests in refining, petrochemicals and products transportation as well as marketing. Between 1978 and 1989, NNPC constructed refineries in Warri, Kaduna and Port Harcourt and took over the 35,000-barrel Shell Refinery established in Port Harcourt in 1965. Who initiated the policy for the creation of NNPC? can it be the federal commissioner of Petroleum resources. culled from http://www.nnpcgroup.com/AboutNNPC/CorporateInfo.aspx 7. Where did the writer or the OP got his fake news. At least NNPC will not lie against itself. Yes, Obasanjo was the president and he delegated it to somebody (who is that person BUHARI), did he deliver in the duty awarded to him by his boss? YES. The OP is needs to do a proper research before posting. He lied about Buhari's profile. Haba, give it to he that is good in what ever he does. Even Obasanjo who was his boss acknowledge his discipline and integrity. 2 Likes 2 Shares |

adadadon: --------------------------- Buhari never built any refinery. He never initiated any. He was just a minister doing what was decided at the Supreme Military Council meetings. Anybody could have done same if appointed minister. The success and failure of any government lie in the head of state. So why should we praise the minister? Why not the permanent secretary who leads the implementation of the policy decisions of the government? Why not the directors under the permanent secretary? Why not the assistant directors? Why not the desk officers? 1 Like |

However, the Warri Refinery was awarded by Yakubu Gowon to Snamprogetti Spa Milan, Italy in 1975 (in this period, Buhari was the governor of North-eastern state) at the cost of $478 million and commenced operation in 1978 (now he was a Petroleum. Minister). It had the design capacity of 100,000 b/d. The procurement started in 1975 while construction works commenced in 1976, it was a two year contract and commissioned in 1978. It took the Astute Management of Buhari to have over seen that project. OBJ's NIPP met a lot of bottle necks because there was nobody like Buhari to manage it, it is not just about awarding the contract, its about keeping an eye on it, what if he embezzled money meant for the project within the 2years? will you have a refinery today? Stop talking nonsense!! |
