The Ahmadu Bello University (ABU), Zaria, Kaduna state, has developed a prototype of a crude oil refinery with a capacity of refining one barrel of crude oil per day, Vice Chancellor of the university, Prof. Ibrahim Garba, has stated.
“This is a prototype refinery that runs on one barrel a day. It is a very long term project, we started it then Raw Materials Development Council came in to support.
“The project being built in stages, so far we can produce petrol (PMS) and diesel. We need more support from potential supporters and investors to take it to the next level,” said the vice chancellor.
He said the university had signed an agreement with Kaduna Refinery and Petrol Chemical Company (KRPC) on supply of crude oil but they were yet to fulfil their obligation.
