NNPC Set To Commence Production Of Aviation FueI In P/Harcourt
The management of Port Harcourt Refining Company (PHRC) has announced its readiness to commence the production of Aviation Turbine Kerosene (ATK) popularly known as aviation fuel.
This is part of the efforts the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) is making to reposition the company for profitability in line with the 12-point agenda.
The Managing Director of PHRC, Dr. Bafred Enjugu, who disclosed this in a presentation made to the Group Managing Director of NNPC, Dr. Maikanti Baru, during an official tour of the 210, 000 barrels per day facility, said the refinery has met all the international parameters for the production of aviation fuel.
“The good news from our stand point is that we have scored 24 out of the 24 parameters for the production of aviation fuel and I must say that this is made possible because of the never-give-up attitude of workers of the great PHRC,” he said.

Are we not privatizing NNPC again? Does the good news mean we are remaining at this point?

I’d wait three years before I consider this a success. We have management problem in Nigeria, so I won’t be elated over this news yet.
