Abia State Announces Its New Modular Refinery Will Commence Operations In 2025.

The commissioner for information in Abia state has given the date for the completion of the Abia Industrial Innovation Park modular refinery.

The project will increase revenue for the government as well as provide job opportunities to the citizens of the state. This occurred after the Dangote refinery started operations following the delivery of the final six million barrels of crude oil.

Okey Kanu, the commissioner of Information and Culture, has said that the Abia Industrial Innovation Park (AIIP) modular refinery is scheduled to begin operations by 2025.

The new refinery is expected to provide thousands of direct and indirect jobs.

The commissioner added that the refinery would give thousands of indirect jobs and 2,000 direct jobs to the crowd of young people in Abia. “The project will help to provide refined products for the people of Abia as well as increase our revenue base as a state. “So, it is a project that is very important to this government and every effort is being put in place to ensure that the date is met.

“The state government is also ready to reap from the petroleum and mineral endowments in the state,” he stated.

Refinery to create job opportunities

According to Kanu, many investors, particularly those in the petroleum industry, have expressed a strong desire to establish their operations in Abia.

He claims it will support attempts to increase the number of jobs available to young people. This came after the Dangote Refinery commenced production after receiving six million barrels of crude oil.

The company commenced the production of diesel and aviation fuel in the early hours of Friday, January 12, 2024.

Nigeria's oldest refinery begins operation Meanwhile, Legit.ng reported that the long-awaited Port Harcourt refinery is now ready, fulfilling the federal government's promise that operations will start in December 2023.

In a video update, the refinery lights were turned on Wednesday, December 20, 2023. According to a video uploaded on social media, the refinery's flare indicated the commencement of oil refining.

Not much details as per location, capacity, cost etc but all the same it is a cheering news

PROUDIGBO:


Yeah, saw it announced on the news yesterday. If oil producing states were proactive, had vision and were not sabotaged by a federal gov't that may unjustifiably feel threatened, then all of them should have at least one modular refinery and oil producing coy! I think one of the problems preventing this from happening is that the federal gov't doesn't want some states to produce more than the regulatory agencies claim they can produce!

Bro stop acting like a kid cos we all know how many times tinubu don use ur brain soak garri for the past 8months

NSNO:
That's great news, Edo has one already.
If we attack this refining of a thing like this, in 3 years time importation of petroleum products will be a thing of the past.
If we use this kind of energy to attack agriculture, security etc then the Nigeria of our dreams will become a reality little by little.
Not the yeye revolution those keypad warriors were calling for in the other thread.

2025 you go hear am cos I know for a fact this is a lie to fool obidient even more

Anambra with his Orient Petroleum commissioned 14 years ago is yet to produce a single litre of fuel yet Dangote that was commissioned less than 6 month as already started production.

mrvitalis:
Abia state have absolutely no business building a modular refinery honestly... This is a complete waste of money, the refinery can't mathematically breakeven not to talk about making profit

Expand the Aba gas pipeline network to the eyimba economic city, expand same to uturu, umuahia, Ohafia and arochukwu

Dredge the artificial Aba river expand it to umuahia providing alternative travel route for the people

And cheaper means to transport goods to umuahia and port Harcourt

Open up more specific industal layout with gas pipeline and good road infrastructure


Please stop this AWOLOWO like feel good project... Igbos are capitalists we don't do that rubbish

If we need our refinery provide loans for our brothers to build one

Government have no business in business

nairalanda1:
Let's hope that Tinubu removes subsidy completely by then, so that the refinery can make a profit in the trillions.

Good job from Abia.

NSNO:

You mean it is not completely gone?

nairalanda1:


Landing cost in October 2023 was N720

Price of fuel in Nigeria was between N580-700 across the country.

(Ye can't trust the government).

Anambra with his Orient Petroleum commissioned 14 years ago after Peter Pandora. Obi invested billion of Anambra fund is yet to produce a single litre of fuel yet Dangote that was commissioned less than 6 month as already started production.

For that region I hear you oh ESN no like a good thing

In the same post you dismiss the viability of a modular refinery in Abia, you talk of a pie-in-the-sky El-Dorado of 'Enyimba Economic City'! Which of the two is more achievable in the Nigeria Abia state finds itself in today!?
