House of Representatives, Wednesday resolved to pursue a comprehensive audit of funds so far expended on the maintenance and rehabilitation of the nation’s refineries.
These included Port Harcourt, Warri, Kaduna refineries. Motion for the probe was moved by Hon. Onofiok Luke from Akwa Ibom State.
It was considered and adopted by the House. The probe is coming on the heels of the approval of $1.5 billion by the Federal Executive Council, FEC for the rehabilitation of the Port Harcourt refinery.
Incidentally, the singular approval has attracted widespread criticisms from many quarters which argued the money was far bigger than the worth or value of the facility itself.
Delta State government says it will continue to use indigenous contractors in the construction of roads and bridges in the state as a deliberate policy to encourage them.
The state commissioner for works, Chief James Augoye, who spoke to journalists at the weekend, after the commissioning of the Effurun – Otor and Ovwor- Olomu bridge in Ughelli South local government area of the state, explained that it was a deliberate policy of the state government to encourage indigenous contractors to compete favourable with multinational construction firms.
He assured that roads and bridges constructed by indigenous contractors were of high quality that could stand the test of time.
Citing the newly commissioned bridge as a case study, the works commissioner charged Deltans to take ownership of the roads and bridges constructed by the state government by maintaining them.
He added that blockade of drainages, indiscriminate parking of fuel tankers and other heavy duty vehicles and dumping of refuse on roads would no longer be acceptable by the state government.
On the alleged blockade of the newly commissioned access road to the Warri Refinery and Petrol Chemicals, Ekpan by the military, he promised to approach the military authorities to open up the road, noting that the access road was constructed to decongest the volume of traffic at the Shagwolo end of the road.
A Young Delta Amb. Temisan O. Louis CEO Mayorkings Agency and Continental Coordinator Global Good Governance Ambassador’s Forum has called on the Delta State Governor Sen. Ifeanyi Arthur Okowa to Focus on Industrializing the state to help reduce unemployment as well as boost the state economy.
He stated this during a media chat with News Men in Abuja Monday 22nd March 2021
He Stated Thus:
Industrialization is the bedrock of development in any society.
Delta state under Okowa for 6yrs Running is what I will term doomed with nothing to show for it despite currently having the Highest Allocation from the Federal Government.
okowa as a grassroot politician is suppose to know the pains faced by the common man in Delta State.
There is an undue hunger in the state with Unemployment Ratio at the highest level.
Governor Okowa should as a matter of urgently look towards industrialization of the state just as his counterpart in Cross State Dr. Ben Ayade is doing.
overtime, we have keenly noticed Gov. Okowa Copy and Paste Policies from others hence I humbly charge him to ensure to copy and paste the industrialization agenda of Ayade in Cross River State.
our Budgeting style in Delta State won’t and cannot save us if we continue in this style.
Gov Okowa should as a matter of urgency copy Sen. Dr. Ben Ayade Budgeting style to save our state. Kindly industrialize the state for us, Build Factories to reduce unemployment and thereby boosting the state Economy.
UNDERSTANDING AYADE\"S BUDGETING CONCEPT
They are different types of budgeting; balanced, surplus and deficit. Balanced budgeting is when the total estimated revenue is equal to the proposed expenditure. Surplus is when the total estimated revenue is more than the proposed expenditure. Deficit is the direct opposite of surplus, and it is when the government\"s total proposed expenditure for a period of time is more than the total estimated revenue.
Why go deficit? “Deficit financing, undertaken for the purpose of building up useful capital during a short period of time, is likely to improve productivity and ultimately increase the elasticity of supply curves.” ~ Prof Alka Ghosh
Deficit is what developing economies like India practice. Deficit looks beyond physical money. Intellect and competence are key components of deficit budgeting. If the usual sources of finance are inadequate for meeting public expenditure, a government may resort to deficit financing. Deficit financing refers to the creation of new money for filling up the gap between planned expenditure and estimated receipts. There comes the concept of “intellectual money” as notably referred by Governor Ayade. Intellectual money is basically the brain power, it looks beyond physical finance, it looks at other ways of getting things done without absolute reliance on physical finance. So there is absolutely nothing wrong with Cross River budgeting in trillions.
Deficit budget is the audacity of an ambition of the mind power. It is used in backward underdeveloped economies, predominantly 3rd world. It is an expression of an agenda by the state executive to move the state from 3rd to 1st world. Deficit budgeting also provides you the opportunity of building million dollar projects that the state ordinarily can’t finance. It provides you the window to budget for superhighways and deep seaports, while you search for investors that will invest in these projects and see to it’s completion. It is a budget for high class intellects, perhaps that is what qualifies Ayade to run this country.
How has deficit budgeting helped Cross River State? Judging by the low income of the state, has anybody wondered why salaries, pensions and subventions are been paid regularly with projects spread across every Local Government Area in Cross River State? It is the concept of intellectual money. The Vitaminized Rice Seedlings plant in Calabar, Cocoa Processing plant in Ikom, Ultramodern Rice Mill in Ogoja, Groundnut oil factory in Bekwarra, British-Canadian University in Obudu, Referral Hospital in Obudu, Chicken Processing plant in Calabar, Noodles Factory in Calabar, Feedmill in Calabar, Pharmaceutical Company in Calabar, Garment Factory in Calabar, Power Plant in Calabar, Poultry Farm in Calabar, Teachers Continuous Training College in Biase, Toothpick Factory in Yakurr, Social Housing in Bakassi, Dualization of Calabar to Odukpani Road with a flyover at Odukpani junction, Dualization of Ranch junction road in Obanliku to Mfom road in Ogoja, Cassava Starch Processing Factory in Obubra, Roofing Tiles Factory in Yala, and many more are all products of the “intellectual money” concept. Have you imagined the amount of jobs these factories will generate for Cross Riverians? Have you thought about the overall economic benefit of a local cocoa farmer in Ikom supplying Cocoa bean directly to a factory, a local Rice famer in Ogoja supplying harvested rice to the Rice Mill in Ogoja, a local Groundnut famer in Bekwarra supplying raw Groundnut to the factory in Bekwarra, a small poulty farmer in Bakassi supplying chicken to the chicken processing factory in Calabar? This is how economies grow! Producing and processing what they consume.
It is no news that Governor Ayade has over 5,000 political appointees spread across the 18 LGAs of Cross River State. 5,000 people collecting monthly salaries of over a 100,000 Naira. What this means is, every family in Cross River State is represented in Government. 5,000 people can own houses, take care of their families, own farms. Aside the economic benefit, it also reduces social tension. Also on the payroll are recently employed 18,000 people from every ward in the State. This brings the total number of persons appointed by Governor Ayade to over 25,000. Imagine this 25,000 people, which are mostly youths out there on the streets, there will certainly be high rate of crime and poverty.
As at 2019, Cross River State foreign debt stood at $192.73 million (73 billion Naira). While domestic debt is 168 billion Naira. That is a total of 241 billion Naira. This is the debt Ayade has been servicing. Salaries, subventions, contractors, pensions, MDA imprest paid regularly. Remember, Cross River can’t borrow due to the state\"s level of indebtedness. Is it Ayade that plunged the state into this level of indebtedness? No! Ayade came at a time Cross River was in dire need of leadership to save the state from total collapse. So far, so good, there is light at the end of the tunnel as the future sure looks bright.
All of the Above are the achievement of a Governor with a Good Vision for his people and he achieved it all in the same 6yrs running as Gov. Okowa.
kindly do the right thing my Dear Governor.
He Further Stated that, He wants a Delta State where all Youths will become self reliant and Employers of Labour hence he used the same medium to invite all Youths in Delta state to register and attend a capacity building and empowerment program tagged Delta Youths Business & Leadership Conference 2021 scheduled to hold in Asaba the Delta state capital 22nd August 2021.

Meanwhile, the House of Representatives has called on the federal government to resuscitate Warri Refinery to operate at full capacity.
This was sequel to a motion moved by Rep. Ben Igbakpa, during plenary, on Wednesday, titled: ‘Commencement of Operations at the Warri Refining and Petrochemical Company.’
Presenting the motion, the lawmaker lamented that there was growing concern over the planned reintroduction of fuel subsidy on Premium Motor Spirit (PMS).
According to him, the refinery had not operated optimally due to top management decisions of NNPC to ground the plant for personal benefit from marketers importing products that could be produced in the refinery.
“The plant had severally shut down due to haulage challenges, neglect in the evacuation of products, lack of functional or operational storage tanks and poor maintenance culture on the part of management which also constitutes another reason for the refinery’s non-functionality,” he said.
The House, therefore, mandated its Committee on Petroleum Resources (Upstream) to investigate the activities of NNPC regarding the operations of Warri Refinery.
Why FG will spend more on Port Harcourt refinery
The Minister of State for Petroleum, Timipre Sylva, who announced the decision to work on the Port Harcourt Refinery while briefing State House reporters, said the rehabilitation will be done in three phases of 18, 24 and 44 months.
He said the contract was awarded to an Italian company, Tecnimont Spa, who is an expert in refinery maintenance, stressing that it was recommended by the original builder of the Port Harcourt Refinery.
He said the funding has three components from the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) Internally Generated Revenue (IGR), budgetary allocations provisions and Afreximbank.
Sylva, who spoke alongside the ministers of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed; Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola; Health, Dr Osagie Ehanire and, State, Budget and National Planning, Clement Agba, said local content was fully considered in the award of the contract.
He said: “The Ministry of Petroleum Resources presented a memo on the rehabilitation of Port Harcourt refinery for the sum of $1.5 billion and it was approved by council today.
“So, we are happy to announce that the rehabilitation of the productivity refinery will commence in three phases.
“The first phase is to be completed in 18 months, which will take the refinery to a production of 90 per cent of its nameplate capacity.
“The second phase is to be completed in 24 months and all the final stage will be completed in 44 months and consultations are approved.”
The minister said the rehabilitation of Warri and Kaduna refineries would also be considered soon by the Buhari administration.
“There are various components to the funding: there is funding from NNPC internally generated revenue, there is funding from the budget and there is also a debt funding. For the lenders, we are dealing with AFREXIM bank and they are very committed to us, we have actually concluded discussions with AFREXIM.”
Asked whether the decision to rehabilitate the refinery was as a result of labour unions’ demand that deregulation of petroleum price should come after rehabilitation of the refineries, the minister said: “First, I am not aware of any such agreement that deregulation should only take place after the refineries have been fixed; that was at no time part of our agreement.
“But, of course, this government, from the very beginning, has been in the process of fixing and rehabilitating this refinery. So, it is not because of our discussion with labour, but it is actually the desire of the administration to ensure that our refineries work and that is the process that has borne fruit today.”
The many troubles of the refineries
Daily Trust recalled that shortly after announcing the full deregulation of the downstream oil sub-sector last year, Sylva had said that the increase in the pump price of petrol was unavoidable.
He said fuel price would be determined by the international crude oil price. Of recent, however, there has been confusion occasioned by consistent increase of petrol price even as the federal government continued to battle market forces in order to avoid a backlash from Nigerians.
Recently, the Group Managing Director of NNPC, Mele Kyari, had said during a briefing that the nation’s four refineries would be rehabilitated.
He disclosed that they were “deliberately shut down due to the absence of the TurnaroundMaintenance (TAM) and major rehabilitation.”
He said the absence of TAM led to a huge capacity loss at the refineries, prompting major rehabilitation works.
“Every refinery is expected to operate at least 90 per cent of installed capacity. With all the TAM down, it was impossible to run any of these refineries at 90 per cent capacity.
“Our estimate was that we could run at 60 per cent capacity but if we do that, it is simply value destruction. We want to make them work and that is why we are doing full rehabilitation,” he said.
Daily Trust reports that apart from the refineries, the feedstock pipelines are in bad condition.
How refineries gulped N276bn
About N276.87bn was spent between 2015 and 2018 to carry out repair works under the TAM scheme on three of the refineries in Port Harcourt, Warri and Kaduna.
At least $396.33 million (about N152.4bn) had earlier been spent between 2013 and 2017 on TAM schemes on the refineries, a report by Nigeria Natural Resource Charter (NNRC) shows.
Official figures compiled from NNPC’s operations reports showed that Port Harcourt refinery stopped producing crude in March 2019.
Kaduna refinery, the worst performer, has not received or processed crude since 2017, while Warri refinery stopped in June 2019.
The report by NNPC further showed that the refineries lost N123.25bn between January and October 2019.
While KRPC posted a loss of N49.3bn, PHRC and WRPC lost N36.7bn and N37.24bn, respectively.
‘Collapsed refineries responsible for high fuel price’
Experts on Wednesday blamed the recent increase in the pump price of petrol on high fuel importation and its associated cost occasioned by the lack of functional local refineries.
An Abuja-based economist, Simon Galadima, said Nigeria refining its own crude will save it a lot of hassle as doing so will help conserve scarce foreign exchange for importation of other and more important things.
“However, government management of any resource has always been catastrophic. More so, Nigerian government has even been beyond grossly incompetent in management of things,” he said.
He advised the federal government to sell the refineries or concession them to yield better results.
Galadima added that repairing the Port Harcourt Refinery will not in any way hamper private investments in refining capacity unless the revived Port Harcourt refinery was given undue concessions.
Similarly, a petroleum industry commentator, Suraju Oyewale, shared the view that the refineries should be sold or concessioned.
Oyewale said: “It is clear that the government cannot manage these refineries. Yar’adua made a big mistake by reversing the sale of the refineries by Obasanjo in 2007.
“I don’t mean to sound like a doomsday analyst, but I don’t see anything coming out of this repair. There have been many turnaround maintenance carried out on these refineries in the past three decades. It gets worse with every maintenance project. This is money in the drain. Other than keeping the refinery workers employed and keeping some contractors busy, I don’t see how this move contributes anything significant to the economy.
“The government should hands off direct investment in crude refining the same way it handed off oil products retailing by selling its shares in its old downstream companies (like Unipetrol, now being privately and effectively run as Oando; AP sold to Forte Oil and now Ardova Petroleum among others). This was before government returned to fuel retailing through NNPC Retail.
“I am not sure the Nigerian government can run a modern refining business. In fact, it is my view that NNPC itself should be privatized although PIB retains government ownership, only that it will now be a limited liability company with government being the shareholders,” he said.
House of Representatives, Wednesday mandated its Committee on Petroleum (Upstream) to investigate an alleged diversion of crude oil meant for refining at Warri refining and petrochemical company in Delta State.
The Committee would also probe why the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC has allegedly failed, refused and or neglected to address the haulage challenges viz-a-viz inadequate storage tanks affecting the refining and petrochemical company to forestall the frequent shutting down of the refinery.
The resolution of the parliament was sequel to a motion titled “Urgent Need for the Re-Opening And Commencement of Operations of the Warri Refining and Petrochemical Company by Addressing the Haulage Challenges and Lack of Functional or Operational Storage Tanks Affecting the Refinery”, sponsored by Rep. Ben Rollands Igbakpa representing Ethiope Federal Constituency of Delta State.
Moving the motion, Igbakpa recalled that the Warri Refining and Petrochemical Company was mandated to produce refined product from mainly local crude.
According to him, the three main sections of the production department, namely: reforming, crude distillation and catalytic cracking units have operated more than the others from the sister refineries for the past 8 years due to the efforts of the permanent and support staffs of Warri refinery.
The reforming unit which operates between 75-80% through the output of its installed capacity produces reformate (also known as PMS) of 92-94 octane number through an internal blending process.
Igbakpa said that the Plants were operating at an output of around 115m3/hour which translates to about 68% installed capacity.
He said that products that were being supplied from the Refinery included: Premium motor spirit (PMS) or petrol; Automotive gas oil (AGO); Kerosene (DPK); LPG, Low pour fuel oil (LPFO) for ships and industrial fuel and Carbon Black.
The lawmaker said that the plant has been down due to mismanagement.
He said: “The House is disturbed that the refinery has been up and down due to top management decisions of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) to ground the plant for personal reasons of what they will gain from allowing to marketers constantly import product which they know can be produced within the refinery.
“The plant had severally shut down due to haulage challenges sequel to PPMC’s continued neglect in the evacuation of products. Also, the lack of functional or operational storage tanks and poor maintenance culture on the part of management also constitutes another reason the plant is not working.
“As efforts to ground the plant from refining products, some members of the top echelon of the Warri Refinery in collaboration with the Chief Operating Officer (COO) diverts crude meant for refining. Whenever crude oil is delivered from Escravous tank farm for the purpose of refining, the products are hoarded for a period of about 14 days and thereafter diverted through the refinery jetty to interested buyers (or specific companies they have special interests on) who pay less.
“The resultant effects of this perceived economic sabotage is that many times, the plant is brought down because no crude to refine as the crude has been diverted for their selfish gain.”
Igbakpa expressed worry that the management of the facility had abandoned their responsibilities of maintenance of the Plant, leaving the staff of the Refinery on several occasions contributing their personal monies to buy materials and tools to fix faulty equipment.
“Currently, most of the spherical tanks used for storage of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) have been leased out to Kwale Hydrocarbon Nigeria Limited (KHNL), a private company while other storage tanks are being leased out to private interests all in a bid to ensure that the Warri Refining and Petrochemical company remains shut down indefinitely, even when the said Refinery has the production capacity of 75 %.
“The Federal Government has officially confirmed the return of fuel subsidy, as the Petroleum Products Pricing Regulatory Agency (PPPRA) has on 11th March 2021 fixed the pump price of PMS also known as petrol, at N212.61 per litre, for the month of March, which the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources and NNPC have denied yet petroleum marketers sells between N175 – N200 depending on the location.
“This increase obviously is due to the shutdown of our local refineries creating the cost elements of the commodity which the PPPRA analyzed as comprising the addition to the ex-coastal price of average lightering expenses, NIMASA charges, jetty throughput charges, storage charge and average financing costs with the inclusion of retailers’ margin has now brought the pump price of the commodity to 212.61 per litre”, he said.
Proffering solutions, Ben Igbakpa said they all that was required was routine maintenance to further improve the operating capacity of the refinery which the local manpower was capable of providing and have demonstrated the same over time so as to make the price of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) more available and affordable.
“The commencement of local production will help to mitigate the incessant and upward price adjustment of petroleum products, ameliorate the hardship and inflation that comes with such exercise to Nigeria and Nigerians”, Igbakpa said.
Adopting the motion, the House asked the Committee to report back to it in 4 weeks for further legislative action.

The Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) has claimed that it gave each of the governors of the nine oil-producing states N100million each as COVID-19 palliatives.
Chairman, Senate Committee on Ethics Privileges and Public Petitions, Senator Patrick Ayo Akinyelure, told reporters in Abuja that NDDC officials made the claim.
He said the Senate may summon the governors to testify on how the money was spent.
The sum is part of N6.25 billion allegedly expended by the NDDC on COVID-19 palliatives.
Akinyelure said the governors may decide to delegate their relevant “commissioners in-charge to respond to allegations made by the management of the NDDC against them”.
He insisted that the NDDC Sole Administrator must appear before it or risk an arrest warrant to be issued against him over non-appearance.
He said the petition over the humongous amount spent by the agency on COVID-19 palliatives will not be swept under the carpet.
Akinyelure said: “We have already gone through the process of warrant of arrest and we have reached 95 per cent stage of completion.
“However, for the avoidance of doubt, immediately the warrant of arrest was issued, representatives of the sole administrator came to my office and verbally explained how the money was spent.
“They claimed that N100 million each was given to the nine state governors in the Niger Delta region.
“We now asked them to make a written submission on their claims to reach us before March 15 which was Monday but up till today (Tuesday), we have not seen anything. This particular probe will not be swept under the carpet.
“Therefore, we are calling on the NDDC sole administrator to either produce the Pondei-led interim management committee team or make available the position paper on how the palliatives were shared on or before 3 p.m. on March 18 so that we could study their submissions before March 29th when they are expected to defend their position papers.
“We want to know how many governors pocketed these palliative funds. We are aware that over N100 million each was given to each state governments.
“That was contained in their verbal submission. We want them to put it in writing. When was this money delivered? How many vehicles were delivered to the governors?
“We would now call the governors to come and account for it because none of the 27 Senators from the Niger Delta region is aware of the COVID-19 palliative shared to the governors by the NDDC. None of our constituents also benefitted.
“The Senate has the right to call for an investigation when the interest of the public is at stake.
“If the funds and items were delivered to the governors, we will call them to come and account.
“The state governors might not appear in person but we would expect them to send their commissioners in charge to come and brief us on the issue.
“We will also ask the governors why they failed to explain to the National Assembly. We will demand details of the disbursement.”
The Federal Government has approved the sum of $1.5bn for the rehabilitation of the Port Harcourt Refinery.
The Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Timipre Sylva, stated this while briefing newsmen at the end of the Federal Executive Council, FEC, meeting presided over by President Muhammadu Buhari at the Council Chamber, Presidential Villa, Abuja, on Thursday.
The minister said that the rehabilitation, which would be in three phases, will commence immediately and to be handled by an Italian firm, Tecnimont S.P.A.
He explained that the first phase would be completed in 18 months, the second phase in 24 months and the final phase would be within 44 months.
He assured that the other three refineries will be put in place before the end of the Buhari-led administration.
He said: “The Ministry of Petroleum Resources presented a memo on the rehabilitation of Port Harcourt refinery for the sum of $1.5 billion, and that memo was $1.5 billion and it was approved by council today (Thursday).
“So we are happy to announce that the rehabilitation of productivity refinery will commence in three phases.
“The first phase is to be completed in 18 months, which will take the refinery to a production of 90% of its nameplate capacity.
“The second phase is to be completed in 24 months and all the final stage will be completed in 44 months and consultations are approved.
“And I believe that this is good news for Nigeria.”
