We also need to tell ourselves the truth in the North.
It’s 2026, our governors should not be sponsoring mass weddings in an era of widespread unemployment, insecurity, and poverty.
What is the logic behind sponsoring mass weddings for grown men who are struggling to support themselves?
Wouldn’t it be more beneficial to help them secure livelihoods before encouraging them to take on the responsibilities of marriage and family life?
SEEING IS BELIEVING- PH REFINERY
Today, I was opportune to visit Port Harcourt Refinery to have firsthand experience on the operations of the refinery which commenced operation last month after about 3 years of intensive rehabilitation exercise.
1. The Refinery is a subsidiary of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, @nnpclimited and is located in Alesa-Eleme, few miles from Port Harcourt, Rivers State. The petrochemical complex consists of 2 different refineries, the Old PH Refinery, commissioned in 1965 with a nameplate capacity of 60,000 barrels per stream day (bpsd) and the New PH Refinery, commissioned in 1989 with a nameplate capacity of 150,000 bpsd bringing the combined capacity to 210,000 bpsd.
2. After years of underperformance due to operational challenges and inadequate maintenance, NNPCL, under the able leadership of the GCEO, Mele Kyari, @MKKyari, initiated a comprehensive rehabilitation of the refineries in 2021. This effort resulted in the successful restart of the 60,000-bpsd hydroskimming refinery on November 22nd, 2024. As of November 26, 2024, the refinery was operating at 70% of its nameplate capacity, producing premium motor spirit (PMS), automotive gas oil (AGO), household kerosene (HHK), low-pour fuel oil and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG).
3. We were taken round the entire facility and I was excited about this particular rehabilitation project because almost all the pumps, instruments, valves, cables, flow meters, pipes, control equipment, tubes and cases have been completely replaced making almost brand new facility unlike ordinary rehabilitation projects where just few things are replaced.
4. The refinery currently produces the following daily outputs:
PMS- 1.4m liters
Kerosene: 900,000 liters
AGO or Diesel-1.5m liters
Low Pour Fuel Oil (LPFO): 2.1m liters
Loading was ongoing with about 5 of the loading gantries actively loading due to the upcoming holiday.
5. We also seized the opportunity to go round and see the ongoing rehabilitation of the New Refinery (150,000 bpsd) which is about to be completed with more than 90% of the major work completed.
6. The revival of this refinery is one of the best things that happened to Nigerians because it has brought about competition in the market which impacted significantly on the price. The price today is N935/L nationwide for Dangote Refinery product and even N925 in some cases for NNPCL product. This is a direct benefit to hardworking Nigerians who are only interested in powering their activities with scarce resources.
7. History will be kind to Buhari who initiated the project, President Bola Tinubu who ensured continuity and completion and also the NNPCL under the able leadership of Mele Kyari for their huge contribution to energy security and nation building.
8. Thanks to the team of Engineers onsite for the warm reception and education.
9. God bless Nigeria 🇳🇬

Can Bayo Onanuga inform the DSS to use that speed of light used in tracking critics of the government to trace & arrest KM & his men?
