The Warri Refining & Petrochemicals Company (WRPC) in Delta State has resumed full operations, producing 125,000 barrels per day. Mele Kyari, Group CEO of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL), disclosed this during a tour of the facility on Monday.
Kyari expressed his pride in the project’s success, noting that many Nigerians had doubted its feasibility. “We want you to see that this is real,” he said, emphasizing the plant’s current operational status.
The facility, located in Ekpan, Uwvie, and Ubeji, Warri, produces 13,000 tons of polypropylene and 18,000 tons of other petroleum products. Farouk Ahmed, CEO of the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA), was among the team that toured the facility.
The successful revamp of the Warri Refinery is a significant milestone in Nigeria’s efforts to boost domestic refining capacity and reduce reliance on imported petroleum products.
