Ibrahim Onoja, the managing director of the Port Harcourt refinery rehabilitation, announced that more than 75% of the project is now finished.
“More than 75% of this work has been finished and expedited as labourers work both day and night shifts,” Onoja said.
A thorough report detailing the significant advancements made was provided by the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) to support this claim.
Launched in April 2021, the project employs 3000 people who work diligently around the clock to accumulate 8.3 million man-hours with no missed time due to injuries.
