But why would a man like Dikko, who has an express presidential mandate to provide hands-on supervision and coordination of the ongoing comprehensive rehabilitation of Nigeria’s largest crude oil refining facility, Port Harcourt Refinery, be the subject of intense media-driven umbrage?

The Managing Director, Port Harcourt Refining Company, PHRC, Mr. Ahmed Dikko, is on course to end the protracted rot in the establishment and ensure it works at full capacity again.
This is even as the United States of America, USA, delegation expressed optimism about the rehabilitation of the refinery and opportunities for US private sector engagement.
The PHRC has witnessed rejuvenation in the last one year since the current MD took over the reins of the company. Before March 2020, the refinery was comatose and regarded as a waste of public resources because it has gulped billions and yet had not worked.
