That was why they focused on the old Port-Harcourt refinery.”But as we speak there are work also going on in the new Port-Harcourt refinery. Don’t be surprised that the Warri refinery may even come on stream much more earlier than the new Port-Harcourt refinery. “I can confirm to you that the old Port Harcourt refinery is working but not to optimal capacity. They still need to fix one or two equipment for it to be 100% independent.”
