Nigeria is considering building new refineries to supplement the old ones in order to meet the country's consumption of crude oil products, Vanguard reports.
According to NNPC GMD, Ibe Kachikwu, “what is obtainable is that most of our refineries are close to 30 to 40 years old; we need to begin to look at building new refineries in the same land space where they can share facilities so that you will have something to lean on when these old ones are beginning to kick out.
“Obviously, we need new modules because with this modules it won’t get us very rapidly. Three out of the six units of the plants were down.
“Some of them for a very long period. We need to sit down and see what modules, how do you turn around the new refinery. How do you work on emergency basis components of the ones that is there.
Kachikwu stated this, while addressing Energy Correspondents shortly after he was conducted round the Kaduna Refining Petrochemical Company (KRPC) in Kaduna.
