Business activities at the refining section of the Warri Refining and Petrochemical Company Limited, WRPC, in Uvwie Local Government Area of Delta State have resumed following resumption of production after several months.
NationalMirror reports, Our correspondent learnt yesterday that production of fuel officially commenced on Monday as major maintenance works have been completed while other minor repairs are still ongoing.
An insider at the refining plant told our correspondent that it was currently focusing on the production of kerosene and Premium Motor Spirit, PMS, (petrol), while other products would follow in an unspecified date pending the completion of ongoing repair work.
Over thirty tankers were reported to have loaded fuel on the first day of production.
Our correspondent, who visited WRPC yesterday, observed that the refinery was beehives of activities as trucks made their way into the loading bay within the complex.
It was gathered that ahead of resumption, the Production Department carried out an intensive test-running on the facilities all throughout last week. It was further learnt that the facilities worked optimally during the process.
“Warri Refinery commenced production yesterday (Tuesday) of large quantity. Although, repairs in some areas were still ongoing, but we have started production of fuel and kerosene in large quantity.
“You can see business activities have resumed. Before the week runs out we shall double our loading to tankers. Over thirty tankers received fuel and kerosene yesterday (Tuesday),” a source who did not want to be named said.
Following the commencement, the pump price of fuel in Warri and its environs, which was about N110 and above, now goes for N87.
Our correspondent who drove round the city learnt that many filling stations have reverted to the original pump price.
PDP government is a great disgrace and disgusting indeed to this country. All they know is how to manipulate and loot.
