Kaduna Refinery to operate 100% by 2015 – another promise?

The Managing Director of Kaduna Refinery and Petrochemical Company, says the refinery would run at 100 percent capacity by 2015. He made this assertion at a workshop organized by the company for energy correspondents in Kano on Friday.

Mohammed said at present the plant operates at 60 percent capacity and this is due to the improved operational efficiency of the company.

My Take:

He went on to say some other things but the one that concerns me and most Nigerians is, can this be true? Can Nigeria come to a place where we would not need to queue for fuel again? Can we buy petroleum products for the same price or lowly year in and year out? After all, we both own and sell to other nations.


For some time now we haven’t had fuel issues so perhaps they are really working on improving the situation and making petroleum products more easily accessible for Nigerians and in a stable manner. Anyhow, this will be a welcome development.
