The House of Representatives Committee on Petroleum Resources (Downstream) has resolved to launch a comprehensive investigation into the state of Nigeria’s refinery rehabilitation projects.
Checks revealed that the Port Harcourt refinery, which recently commenced production after a turnaround maintenance that gulped millions of dollars has ceased production.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) is already probing the disbursement of $1.5 billion allocated to the Port Harcourt refinery, $740 million released for the Kaduna refinery, and $657 million approved for the Warri refinery.
