Edo State Governor, Senator Monday Okpebholo, has expressed his admiration for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited for the successful rehabilitation of the Warri Refinery and Petrochemical Company (WRPC), which boasts a capacity of 125,000 barrels per day.
In a statement issued by Fred Itua, the Chief Press Secretary to the Edo State Governor, Okpebholo described the milestone as a significant breakthrough in Nigeria’s petroleum industry, noting that it signals a brighter future for the nation’s economy.
“The revival of the Warri Refinery is a testament to President Tinubu’s reforms in the petroleum sector. This achievement highlights the positive trajectory of his administration’s policies,” the governor remarked.
Okpebholo also called on Nigerians to rally behind the president’s efforts, emphasising that with the simultaneous operation of the Warri, Port Harcourt, and Dangote refineries, the nation’s crude oil refining capabilities are set for a remarkable transformation.
“This development gives hope for a revitalised petroleum sector. I commend President Tinubu and NNPCL, under the leadership of Mele Kyari, for delivering what I consider a New Year gift to Nigerians,” Okpebholo said.
He further pledged Edo State’s unwavering support for the Federal Government’s Renewed Hope Agenda, which aims to restore Nigeria’s standing as a leader in Africa’s refining industry.
