Edo State Governor, Senator Monday Okpebholo, has hailed the restoration of the Warri Refinery as a significant breakthrough for Nigeria’s petroleum industry and a perfect New Year gift to Nigerians.
According to reports, the development comes after President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC) successfully revived the 125,000 barrels per day (bpd) Warri Refinery and Petrochemical Company (WRPC).
Governor Okpebholo praised President Tinubu’s commitment to advancing the nation’s economy through sustainable reforms, urging Nigerians to support the Renewed Hope Agenda. He described the refinery’s restoration as a major achievement, reflecting the positive impact of the Federal Government’s reforms on the petroleum sector.
Governor Okpebholo congratulated President Tinubu and the NNPC for the successful restart of the refinery, describing it as a significant milestone in Nigeria’s journey to becoming Africa’s crude oil refining hub. He assured that Edo State remains steadfast in its support for the Federal Government’s efforts to restore national pride and establish Nigeria as a major player in the global oil and gas industry.
The Warri Refinery’s restoration is expected to boost Nigeria’s local refining capacity and reduce reliance on imported petroleum products. With the Warri, Port Harcourt, and Dangote refineries operating simultaneously, the petroleum sector is experiencing a resurgence, giving Nigerians renewed hope.
As Nigerians celebrate the New Year, the restoration of the Warri Refinery serves as a beacon of hope for a brighter future, driven by sustainable reforms and a commitment to economic growth and development.
