Despite the huge sums of money said to have been spent on the Turn-Around Maintenance (TAM) of the moribund Port Harcourt refinery, a Nigerian Economist and Energy expert, Kelvin Emmanuel has pointedly posited that the facility and others in Kaduna, Eleme and Warri will not be operational anytime soon.

Emmanuel said this in an interview with Channels Television breakfast programme Morning Brief on Monday.
