Its not about empty promises and building universities when the ones existing are dilapidated, underfunded and always on strike! There is no nigerian university in the top 100 upon all the monies pumped and wasted in building new universities.
The building of those universities was nothing but an avenue to siphon money! Simple!

Very positive, it's on now. If u doubt just ask any NNPC staff around u.

The resuscitation of the erstwhile moribound refineries was in progress before Buhari was sworn in as President.

The quoted piece was the situation of the refineries as at the 2nd of May, 2013

As you rightly posited, nothing much is wrong with the refineries, what seem to have improved since Buhari came on board was the reduction in pipelines vandalism, and to a large extent, crude oil theft ...

egift:


Nothing was wrong with it. PDP held it down and used it as a means of looting. Buhari's coming has removed the claws of the witches and wizards holding the refineries down.

Woooow...

This is probably one of the best write up I have read on NL, very factual and amusing. Kudos to the OP

If I was GEJ, I will hire professional assassins to take out Deziani, NNPC GMD and members of the board of directors because it is very obvious that he was deceived, sabotaged, mis-led, fooled, pissed on. The truth is nothing, nothing, absolutely nothing was wrong with the refineries, all it need was crude oil.

Cluelessness is indeed worst than HIV. Smh

Mynd44:

Here is another side tk the story.

The refineries did not need much to be fixed but people were making so much from the subsidy and importing of fuel that they preferred that the refineries not working

obo389:
@Op,kindly pm ur phone number Lemi send u recharge card for this wonderful piece of research and info.
I just marvel and smh d way some people just talk,insinuate and peddle lies on issues of the true state of our nations refinaries and how GEJ's administration was insincere abt d whole TAM issue.

I cannot take credit for the revival of our refiineries - President Buhari

Kenobus:
you have forgotten that these refineries were not working at but GEJ made them to work though not full capacity. They have always worked under GEJ. He wanted to do a special TAM by those who built them but their terms weren't ok. They had to resort to inhouse. Is it buhari that did that. Get it that they were working but below 50%. If it is the fear of Buhari why can that fear help the fuel situation? And the security and pipeline break. Gmb has nothing for him. Let him work first. It is regret and shame that is making u guys to look for credit at all cost. He has none for now

I just weak like fried dodo ontop this matter.

Let's even assume that GEJ did nothing about the refineries, and by nothing, I mean....absolutely nothing.

The TAM of the refineries cannot be attributed to Buhari either, so why the fuss?

Y'all should be more concerned about the magic he will perform in one month in order to fill his 100th day score card.

There's nothing stimulating about this argument

philips70:


Do you need any professor or soothsayer to answer this simple question? The answer is obvious and already answered by the OP and others who have commented. Let me help you again.

THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE REFINERIES. DIEZANI AND CO KEPT DECEIVING NIGERIANS (NOT GEJ) SO THEY CAN CONTINUE WITH THEIR FRAUD.

The thunder that will fire Diezani, GEJ and co is still doing press up with General Burantashi in Maiduguri.

Meanwhile, let me be waiting for my friend, barcanista who is already in the studio producing the normal useless wailing rejoinder to these incontrovertible facts that my 9 months old sweet baby girl know of.

mykl01:


Paul's epistle to the Romans busted with one comment from PMB. Nothing to add
Thanks Maxymillano.

Mynd44:

True but can we say the last administration fixed them?


Now that will be the question. Show evidence that the GEJ government fixed the refineries, show us the contracts awarded to fix the refineries, how much was paid and when the contracts were made.

Remember they said the refineries wont work until first quarter 2016. This is not even last quarter 2015.

Personally, I doubt anything major was wrong with the refineries in the first place with these news. It was just more profitable to some people to import fuel than for the refineries to be functioning

onatisi:
Early morning like this and some people have taken their precious irredeemable time to be discussing gej ,who is most likely having a wonderful time with his wife
in a nice mansion. Nawa ooooo.

PRYCE:
Now that's a better explanation!


But Do you know that even Presidents as glorified as they are are powerless against some forces emanating from some quarters of the polity? Okay GEJ wasn't stout enough as do military men but how can one fight the likes of Adenuga, Danjuma, OBJ, IBB, E.t.c? which I believe ALL have stakes in Nigerias Petroleum sector and It's Woes. Would you agree with me that this men ARE ABOVE THE LAW IN NIGERIA?? EVEN BUHARI CAN'T TOUCH THEM.... I know that yes the refineries are now working because The cabal too have got reservations about whom they are dealing with now. But when their pockets start drying up, That's when sabotage comes in! And the worst is these guys often play neutral! As in lil or no party affiliation!

sunnyeinstein:


Let us all calm down and understand the basics...

1). The refineries were never bad, they just needed maintenance... just lyk u hav a generator and u NEED to service it periodically

2). Although i am tempted to say GEJ had a hand in the refineries being used as a political tool, we should fault Madueke and all d depts in NNPC for not tellin the truth... it is safe to say that they saw the venture as a cheap way of making quick money for themselves and to sponsor PDP

3). GEJ's loss at the poll reset all of them their brains. The Otuoke doctor already negotiated his own deal thru Gen. Abdusalam and chief Anyaoku. Others had to start doing the right thing for the fear of the "Integrity" president coming in.

4). It is fair enough for buhari to say he is not to be credited for the refineries' increased productivity, the workers just went back to work... nothing ever happened.

So there's no need for gej or buhari's fans to stake the claim of the turnaround to their masters, rather we should thank OUR VOTES.

A BETTER NIGERIA BECKONS...

PAINGAIN:
I still don'tw why u people keep harassing jonathan. If he didn't fix d refineries then who did? Did buhari do it in 2months? We all know that by may 29 the refineries were almost ready to start working. U people can twist and turn it whichever way u want but until u guys bring proof that jonathan didn't do anything at d refinery and also proof that buhari did then u guys r just being pathetic. Even buhari that u guys keep saying he did d work has come out to say that he can't take credit for the refineries. Let jona be.

The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, Thursday, announced an improvement in Nigeria’s refining capacity, declaring that domestic refining of Premium Motor Spirits, PMS, at the country’s three refineries has increased to 10.23 million litres per day.

According to Group Executive Director, Refining and Petrochemicals, NNPC, Engineer Anthony Ogbuigwe, the three refineries are also currently producing 5.53 million litres of dual purpose kerosene and 8.016 million litres of automotive gas oil, diesel daily.

He disclosed that the Kaduna Refining and Petrochemical Company is currently running at 65 percent installed capacity, while the Warri Refining and Petrochemical Company is producing at 63 per cent and the Port Harcourt Refining and Petrochemical Company at 66 per cent of installed capacity.
