President BOLA TINUBU has said the petroleum refinery in Port Harcourt will start working by December 2023.

The President’s spokesman, DELE ALAKE, said the refineries will start production after the completion of the ongoing rehabilitation contract between Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) and an Italian firm.

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