Port Harcourt Refinery Begins Operations

The Federal government has confirmed the commencement of operations at the Port Harcourt Refining Company, PHRC, Limited,

It announced that the facility commenced operations on December 20, 2023, as the first phase of work at the plant had been completed, adding that refined petroleum products would start flowing from the refinery after the Christmas break.

The development came months after the Minister of State for Petroleum (Oil) Heineken Lokpobiri said in August that the refinery, with a combined capacity of 210,000 barrels per day, will commence operation this month.

Minister Heineken Lokpobiri, who led the Refinery Steering Committee members to inspect the facility, congratulated the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited and Nigerians for the feat.

On his part, the Group Chief Executive Officer of NNPC Limited, Mele Kyari, said the company employees worked day and night for over 9.6 million person-hours to get the refinery back on stream.

Nigeria’s refineries in Port Harcourt, Kaduna, and Warri have been dormant for decades, as the Federal Government has spent several billions of naira to revamp them.

Court Freezes Oyo Accounts In 10 Banks Over N3.5bn Debt

A High Court of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, has issued an order freezing the accounts of the Oyo State Government in 10 commercial banks in the country.

Justice Anitte Ebong issued the order in a ruling on a garnishee proceeding initiated by former council chiefs sacked on May 29, 2019, by Governor Seyi Makinde.

The former council chiefs in 2021 got an N4.9bn judgment against Makinde and other officials and agencies of the state.

The garnishee proceeding, led by Bashorun Ajuwon, was with the intent to recover the balance of N3.5bn, which is outstanding from the actual judgment sum, from which Makinde paid only N1.5bn in 2022.

In a ruling, Justice Ebong ordered the banks to file affidavits and attend the court on the next adjourned date to show cause why the garnishee orders granted should not be made absolute.

The judge awarded N300,000 as a cost against the judgment debtors, ordered that a copy of the order be served on Makinde and others, and adjourned until January 5 next year for a hearing.
