Good job NNPC. This is the kind of public update we want to be seeing so we can have hope of better Nigeria. Keep maintaining the safety procedure. Fantastic job you've done, thank you for the update.

[@philemonikenna137]

Glad to be part of this project. Lots of work going on to deliver phase one of this project this December. Hopefully, this documentary will help people understand what has been happening on the project.

[@kelvinsamuel4610]

How many phases before the common man can thank Govt??

[@bigteekool]

May GOD give them wisdom, strength and ability to complete this project. If and when it works, we will all benefit from this refinery. GOD BLESS NIGERIA

[@tundebakare6887]

AMEN

[@philipogunbona8602]

Communication (of this type) is part of accountability. Hopefully, there will be no slip in the completion, testing and commissioning date. This refinery will help in our quest for robust and sustainable energy security. We can do it! Well done!

[@jamespaxton5696]

Bravo! The types of developments we love to see in Nigeria and Africa at large

[@Phatkuz18]

Wonderful news!!!!! Hopefully the momentum is sustained and the other refineries come on board also on time including dangote refinery

[@rossyrossy5110]

Mind U nothing dey do Dangote refinery oh ...D old scammer still wan dey scam us dey go ni oh which Jagaban say No ...let d poor breath ...He won dey refine in dollar ...just imagine

[@fadlumka]

I commend them, most especially worker's on PPE's. I want to advise at this final stage of work on hot work activity, hot work HSE procedures must be strictly adhere to without any compromise to afford a fire incident. Kudos to nnpc, worker's and contractors. God bless Nigeria

[@sussy1930]

God bless everyone who has contributed to the refurbishment. This should also be broadcast on TV programs. Enough of Negativity about the country. Nigeria can be better. God bless Nigeria

[@agbatersoo6993]

This is very nice to see. Communication is key to letting Nigerians see the work being done so it will be easy to assess the performance

[@macdompeanuts6629]

This is the kind of the update we want to see. More power to you!

[@DanielElueboh-sw7du]

We have been praying and looking up to this company enhancement so am impressed with the ongoing contract keep it up NNPC

[@deepprobe6187]

This same rehabilitation was done on this factory in early 90s. I worked on that project with Soimi in 1991/92. Only God knows how much was spent then. NNPC officials, who had been massively bribed, turned a blind eye to many sharp practices. For example, in some places where pipes were supposed to be replaced, they were sandblasted and put back.

[@afolabiahmed1332]

CAN YOU IMAGINE

[@rossyrossy5110]

That is d reason we need to privatise all this stuff

[@abassola1970]

I'm impressed with the MD presentations and update. He surely knew what is at stake. All the best sir. Success by God's grace.

[@skukidprogress1165]

I can relate real well, kudos to the team. Being a mechanical engineer a lot really needs to be done and they need solid hands

[@pictaler]

great to see progress

This is good news for Nigerians. Kudos to President Tinubu.

[@MrCollins2000]

[@WorlTramp]

It’s none of the politicians

[@skyman9823]

Why are all the refineries owned by the Federal government for decades still not fully operational, while Dangote Refinery, conceived and built in about a decade is almost humming full speed? What does Dangote know that the FGN does not Know?

[@staywoke2661]

Let us have hopes in our ability to turn the situations in our country around. This is one of the reason OBA OF BENIN said Tinubu is anointed by our ancestors. Yes it is true that his administration wasn’t meant to be but we should remember that the ways of God is different from the ways of man. Let us work together and support the authority for a better Nigeria It doesn’t matter who leads us there, what’s important is for we to get there! One Nigeria 🇳🇬

[@LIGHT_BUREAU]

If Nigeria wants to do something they will do it... Make no mistake, i have negative words in my arsenal to say about my country but I won't say it ..... 2024 IS A NEW DAWN FOR MY BELOVED NIGERIA... I BELIEVE IN THE GREATNESS OF NIGERIA

Good job. I'm coming there for my IT

[@tonycupid5103]

They don’t want dangotey refinery to enjoy.😅😅😅

[@sulaak]

How can any sane man or woman allow a critical infrastructure to wallow in such disrepair? Its obvious to the eye that all the TAM projects under OBJ, GEJ and Buhari were corrupt practices that consumed more than $11 billion. Nigerian social groups and Labour Unions had requested oil subsidies when the solution was full rehabilitation of the refineries and reorientation of the management teams and governance. I hope that this time we will learn the importance of critical national infrastructure such as rail, road, refineries, power stations, dams and farms.

[@abdullahmusa9547]

Buhari is the reason for the revitalization of this refinery

[@atenagaeraboh110]

Nigerians are the real problem. It's tinubu. Its Buhari. On a normal are there not suppose to do this. Have you heard in America when it come to infrastructural development, there call any president name. We are our problem.

[@sulaak]

@@abdullahmusa9547 $1.5 billion spent and three years later, no result. That is your Buhari hero

[@raphaelm7397]

The deadline to commence operations has been made public. Let's see if it's audio and just a means to embezzle or not. We are watching

[@HallofKnowledge]

I see people coating pipes and instrument panels. Guys, costing doesn’t make an equipment fixed. Portharcourt refinery needs more than painting. If I were the government, I would sell it. Mandate the oil companies to build a joint modular refineries. They will take 5% from the government NNPC to build and operate.

[@mosesogundipe1629]

🙄🙄🙄

[@apachekafka773]

Nonsense. Nigerians are just crazy. They are deceived into believing the govt selling every thing is the answer. Meanwhile, ARAMCO is owned and run by Saudi. Many companies in China are state owned as well. Corporations taking over everything Means no empathy towards the masses. They are driven by money. People are already dying from subsidy removal.

[@victorbabalola5432]

God bless you all!!!!!!!!!!

[@thabitngangila8562]

[@thinkerstranscendence1534]

Great team work indeed...

[@C_Skillz]

This is laudable. However I observed that the heat exchanger @ 02:07mins is having plugged tubes. Why wasn't the tube bundle or heat exchanger replaced outright given this extent of ongoing revamping? Hope this is not a common theme for the heat transfer equipment....

[@nsejacob]

Excellent observation. I thought as much when I saw it

[@skukidprogress1165]

Plugged heat exchangers don’t just get changed, they need to have undergone over 10% of its tube plugged before we can carry out Re-tubing of the heat exchanger. Having worked on various static and rotating equipment this is an experienced advice.

[@straightshooter8751]

Half of the shares of the refineries need to be sold to the private sector or this is likely to fail again, use the NLNG format

[@apachekafka773]

I bet you don't want that. You don't want Corporations running this country. Capitalism will only bring more poverty. The fuel subsidy removal is a big sell out of our country to western Neocolonialism

[@jacstvofficial4490]

We have the worst maintenance culture! At this point I support privatization of most of this stuffs! Our government have a bad reputation with maintaining things!

[@fogbonjayeoluwatayoalex8467]

I don't know why it's so difficult for me to believe or accept anything coming out of this country Naija, our leaders lie too much , PH refinery has been comatose for years ,let's hope they mean business this time around

[@oladipo8951]

We are our own worst enemy. We kept our strategic assets in disrepair to enrich a few and impoverish the nation.

The refinery is not going work till next june or may ..let no one deceive you ...most important part of the boiler hasn't been fixed ,infact the wrong component was imported ,it has to be returned or they will have to import another one

How can wrong boiler be imported?

[@patmugambo7929]

@isaacpeterside8865 so will you bet on me that its going to be operational this December..talk is cheap ..put your money where your mouth is ,are you willing to bet

[@rogerswilson6971]

The update did not say anything about the TAM(turn around maintenance) of the newer, larger second portharcourt refinery. When will TAM work begin on the new second portharcourt refinery?

[@ugonnalarry7242]

It has long begun, I am part of it. Just that the contract was awarded later than the old refinery so it is expected to be completed by end of next year. That is what you call areas 1,2&3

However, it should not stop a forensic PROBE of the activities of these man made behemoths- Dangote refinery or not; after all, there’s something called opportunity cost-the sufferings Nigerians have had to endure Can not be quantified, yet people had to be accountable!!!
