Federal Government has approved the establishment of a modular refinery in Abia State.
This announcement was made by Alex Otti, a prominent figure in the state, who revealed the details during a press briefing.
The modular refinery is expected to boost local refining capacity, reduce dependence on imported petroleum products, and create job opportunities for residents of Abia State.
This move aligns with the Federal Government’s broader strategy to enhance Nigeria’s self-sufficiency in petroleum refining and stimulate economic growth in the region.
Alex Otti emphasized that the refinery will adhere to international environmental standards and will play a crucial role in meeting the energy needs of the state and its neighboring regions.
Further details regarding the timeline for construction and operational commencement are anticipated to be released in the coming weeks.
This development marks a pivotal step towards addressing the longstanding challenges in Nigeria’s oil and gas sector, particularly in the area of refining capacity.
Stakeholders are optimistic that the establishment of the modular refinery will contribute to the overall economic development of Abia State and the nation at large.
