PRESIDENT Bola Ahmed Tinubu has concluded an arrangement to have one of the four refineries repaired and back in operation at an optimal level before the end of the year.
The Group Managing Director of Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, Mele Kyari disclosed this on Thursday when he visited the All Progressives Congress (APC) party secretariat for a meeting with the National Chairman Sen. Abdullahi Adamu.
Kyari explained that following the hike in pump price and the resultant effect on commercial fare, the President is working out some palliative measures to ease the pains of Nigerians.
He also added that there is an ongoing process of rehabilitation to ensure one of the refineries is ready this year.
According to him, over 38 per cent of the total fuel distributed in the country is consumed by four states namely Lagos, Abuja, Kano and Rivers.
