PORT HARCOURT REFINERY: YOU ARE NOT AN ENGINEER- PRESIDENT TINUBU REPLIES OBASANJO.(PHOTO).

Port Harcourt refinery: You are not an engineer - President Tinubu replies Obasanjo

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has chided ex-president Olusegun Obasanjo over his comments on the petroleum refinery in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.

LIB had reported that Obasanjo granted an interview with TheCable where he disputed claims made by the Tinubu administration that the Port Harcourt refinery will start working in December 2023.

 Obasanjo was of the opinion that the nation’s refineries would never function efficiently as long as they remained under government ownership.

“Someone told me Tinubu said refineries would work by December. I told the person the refineries would not work. This is based on the information I received from Shell when I was president,” he had said.

Reacting to Obasanjo's statement via his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, President Tinubu said Obasanjo is not an engineer, therefore he shouldn’t be making such comments.

 

“Former President Olusegun Obasanjo, with due respect to him, is not an engineer. He’s not the engineer working at the refineries. So, the engineers and the NNPC gave the president a report and they have said that it will work by December this year,” he had said while speaking on Daily Trust space themed: ‘Analysing the First 100 Days of President Tinubu’.

We still have like four months to go. I will say that with all due respect to the former president, who is an elder statesman and our father, that what he said is his personal opinion and view. I will rather rely on the judgment of the engineers who are working at the refinery. So, I think we should wait until December.”

In August, President Tinubu had said the petroleum refinery in Port Harcourt would start production by December 2023 after the completion of the ongoing rehabilitation contract between the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) and Italian firm, Maire Tecnimont SpA.

The resuscitation of the refinery, if completed as promised by Tinubu, will lessen Nigeria’s reliance on oil importation and dependence on foreign refineries.

NNPCL said it has been working to revamp the refineries, which were shut down entirely in 2021 and produced little or no fuel over the past decade.

  SSANU, NASU threaten strike over withheld salaries The Joint Action Committee of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities and the Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions have threatened to disrupt industrial peace in universities should the government fail to release the withheld salaries of members. The salaries were seized by the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari during their strike in 2022. The unions, in a joint letter signed on Friday by the President of SSANU, Muhammed Ibrahim and General Secretary of NASU, Peters Adeyemi, questioned the rationale with which the government released four months withheld salaries to members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities but failed to release the withheld salaries of non-academic staff. The unions noted that they would no longer be able to assure the government of industrial peace in universities should the amounts owed by the government are not released. Earlier, the uni...
