The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) has signed a contract with a Milan based company, Tecnimont SpA for the rehabilitation of the 210,000 barrels per day Port Harcourt Refinery Company (PHRC) in Alesa-Eleme, Rivers state.
Recall that the Federal Executive Council (FEC) recently approved the sum of $1.5 billion (about N570 billion) for the project which has a completion timeline of between 18 and 44 months under a three-phase arrangement.
Speaking during the Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) contract signing ceremony on Tuesday, the Group Managing Director of NNPC, Mallam Mele Kyari said, “Mr President promised Nigerians he will fix the refineries.”
He assured that the same transparent process has been emplaced for the rehabilitation of the Warri and Kaduna Refineries whose EPCIC contracts would be awarded in June 2021.
