The group chief executive officer (GCEO) of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited, Mele Kyari, says the Warri Refining & Petrochemicals Company (WRPC) in Delta state, South South Nigeria is now operational.
Gatekeepers News reports that Kyari said this while speaking to journalists during a tour of the facility on Monday, attended by key stakeholders.
Kyari said the refinery is not fully completed but is producing 125,000 barrels per day.
“If you see the plant, you will see the reality yourself. This plant is running, we have not completed it 100 percent, but we are working on the other part of the plant as we progress, but currently this plant is running,” Kyari said.
“You will see what is happening now and we are bringing products to the market.
“There are many people who don’t think this is real. People don’t believe real things can happen in our country.
“We believe that this is right for our country and all of us have a stake, including the media so this can become a greater place as it is already happening. We want you to see that everything is real.”
